The latest instalment in the regular Torchwood range focuses on an important asset to the Cardiff-based team – their trusty SUV. But years after Torchwood 3 was torn apart, the car sits neglected in a junkyard. 

Enter teenage twins Esther (Carlie Enoch) and Cody (Dewi Wykes). Having escaped from their care home, they're trying to reach their family in Wales. When they stumble upon the SUV, they find it determined to return to Cardiff in search of its old colleagues. 

And so this mismatched gang head out on a road trip. But the nasty scrap merchant Jed (Kirris Rivieré) is on their tail… 

Torchwood: Salvage is now available to own for just £8.99 (download to own) or £10.99 (download to own + collector’s edition CD), exclusively here. Please note: the collector’s edition CD is strictly limited to 1,000 copies and will not be re-pressed. 

Esther and Cody are on the run from their care home. Esther wants to find their parents, Cody wants to finish the latest series of his podcast. 

Stumbling on a junkyard of alien artefacts, Esther and Cody’s lives take a sudden turn. Scrap merchant Jed has spent years trying to awaken a particularly sullen object. But the Torchwood SUV has a message for Esther and Cody. 

Torchwood: Salvage is scripted by Gareth David-Lloyd, who is known for playing Ianto Jones in Torchwood on TV and audio, and also provides the voice of the SUV. 

David-Lloyd explained his unusual inspiration: “This episode was inspired by a photograph of the original Torchwood SUV that somebody posted online – it was looking very sad on some farmland somewhere, covered in dents and rust and alien spores, aka moss. I felt really sorry for it. I thought, I want to give the SUV one last road trip, one last opportunity to save the day. 

“And then I thought, what would it be like to make a couple of youngsters involuntary Torchwood members for a short period of time? Since all the original Torchwood team are gone, let's give these two kids the opportunity to go on the adventure with the SUV, become heroes in their own right, and find themselves.”
