Torchwood meets Goldie Lookin Chain
Naoko Mori and Gareth David-Lloyd return to the Torchwood roles they played on television from 2006, in a full-cast audio drama released today.
It’s a platonic date night for Tosh and Ianto in the latest monthly Torchwood adventure, written by Gareth David-Lloyd. And, of course, Cardiff’s Millennium Centre is full of aliens.
Torchwood: Dinner and a Show also guest-stars Rhys ap William and actor John Rutledge (better known to hip-hop fans as Eggsy from Welsh rappers, Goldie Lookin Chain).
It’s high culture meets ravenous, mass-murdering lowlife as Tosh and Ianto must take on the alien Groche without back up, a plan, or even an ice cream in the interval.
Torchwood: Dinner and a Show is now available to own as a collector’s edition CD at £10.99 or on download from the Big Finish website at £8.99.
It’s February 14th and Owen is a no-show for Toshiko’s not-Valentine’s-Valentine’s Night at the opera.
Worse, when Ianto turns up he has bad news for Toshiko, for Cardiff and for fans of classical music – the opera is full of aliens. The doors are bolted, there’s no way out, and this could be the final curtain...
Writer and actor, Gareth David-Lloyd said: “There wasn't much interaction between Ianto and Tosh in the series, so I wanted to fix that. We were probably the quieter ones, more private, so I thought it would be nice for them to have a little buddy story.
“I always felt Tosh went through quite a lot of physical and mental abuse in these audios, and indeed the TV show. So I wanted to do one that was a bit more fun for Tosh, a bit lighter.”
Actor Naoko Mori added: “I loved the story. I read it in one go. I think Gareth is so talented and so funny. Ianto usually has the best one-liners and he captures that so well in this script.”
