3.1 Retirement Plan by Gareth David-Lloyd

Torchwood’s Head of Alien Acquisitions is retiring. But there’s something very wrong in the idyll of El Cielo. And it’s going to kill Ianto.

3.2. Locker 15 by Matt Fitton

A mysterious force is wiping out Torchwood, and the only person who can save London is a cleaner called Dave.

3.3 The Rockery by Tim Foley

Anne Hartman has retired to the country, which comes as a surprise to her daughter. Has Yvonne met a problem even she can’t solve?

Matt Fitton, writer of the second story in this box set, explains more in Vortex magazine: “Even though Torchwood are dealing with weird and wonderful aliens you’ve got to remember they still have an office to run – with people to empty the bins, refill the paper tray and fix the photocopier. Would someone who has done that at Torchwood need to be retconned when they leave, and what would the longer term effects of that be?

“In the past, we’ve likened Torchwood One to the TV series Archer which features a dysfunctional group of spies – here we have a dysfunctional office, which just happens to be full of alien hunters.”

Torchwood One – Latter Days is available now at £19.99 as a collector’s edition CD or £16.99 on download. Don't forget that all CD purchases unlock a download option via the Big Finish app or the Big Finish website.

Or why not save more money and purchase Torchwood One – Latter Days in a bundle with upcoming release Torchwood – Soho: Parasite, priced at £38 for the collector’s edition CDs or £33 on download.

Written by James Goss, we enter the world of 1950s Torchwood with Norton Folgate (Samuel Barnett) and Andy Davidson (Tom Price). Torchwood – Soho: Parasite is due for release in June 2020.

Gangsters are vanishing from the streets of Soho, there’s a deadly Nazi secret on the loose, and something’s moving in the smog. Norton Folgate should be sorting this out, but the Torchwood agent is in disgrace. Who’s going to save London this time?
