This time, Jack’s objective is obstetrics, as he must repel an alien invasion with a bun in the oven. But not to worry, as the antenatal antihero also has his best buddy and birth partner Ianto Jones along for the ride (a special guest appearance by Gareth David-Lloyd).  

Torchwood: Expectant is available now as a collector’s edition CD at £9.99 or on download at £7.99.

The Yalnix Empire is a fragile alliance of a dozen systems, under constant attack from their ancient enemy, the Vad. With the Empress unable to trust any of her court she gives the job of growing the next Ruler of the Yalnix to an old friend - Captain Jack Harkness. 

With hunters on the loose and a battlefleet in orbit, Cardiff’s suddenly became a dangerous place for a man to be pregnant. 

Director Scott Handcock said: “Back in the very first episode of Torchwood, we learned that Captain Jack has once been pregnant and people have been curious about that reference ever since. Well, this isn't that story - some things are best left shrouded in mystery. Instead, this is the story of Jack acting as surrogate for the next Ruler of the Yalnix Empire and provides John Barrowman with some of his most challenging material yet. It's a madcap script from Xanna Eve Chown - full of life and energy - and a charmingly ridiculous romp as we hit the Christmas season!”
