An unfinished amateur film could be the cause of a terrible force unleashed upon the world in the latest Torchwood audio adventure. 

When Sergeant Andy Davidson (Tom Price) is assigned to investigate a man discovered dead in his bathtub, his boss D.I. Priya Sharma (Bharti Patel) reckons it’s an open-and-shut case of suicide. But Andy – who’s seen more than his fair share of the unusual through working with Torchwood – thinks something else is afoot. 

The victim was one of a group of friends behind the production of a horror movie long abandoned. But the fictional monster seems to have made its way out of the old tapes and into reality… 

Torchwood: The Flawless Man, written by Lauren Mooney and Stewart Pringle, is now available to own for just £8.99 (download to own) or £13.99 (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. 

Martin Binns is dead. He leaves behind a pile of video tapes and a warning on the walls of his flat: “He Is Coming”. 

Andy’s boss is keen to write the death off, but Andy’s been around Torchwood too long to let it go. The tapes contain the rushes an unfinished horror film. Hidden in it is a forgotten crime and a terrible warning. He. Is. Coming. 

The guest cast of Torchwood: The Flawless Man also includes Matthew Woodyatt as Daniel Swanson, Rhys Jennings as Martin Binns, Arthur Hughes as Iwan Jones, and Ulrika Butt as Sara Davies. 

Lead actor Tom Price, who reprises the role he originally played in the Torchwood TV series, said: “Andy gets to do some ace detective work and finds himself quite scared. He's often found himself in scary situations, but this is more psychological. It’s one of those scripts that really can make their hairs on the back of your neck stand up.”  

Writer Lauren Mooney added: “The Flawless Man is more like a police procedural than anything we’ve written before. We were quite inspired by The X-Files! Over the course of this investigation, Andy becomes obsessed with an unfinished student film and gets caught up in the seeming delusions of the boys who made it that the monster from the film had become real.”  

And, the episode’s other writer Stewart Pringle said: “One of the big inspirations for this story was the idea of these projects that bind you together when you’re younger and then sit gathering dust somewhere. What if some of the horrors from that period became real and found their way into your adult life?  

“The initial jump-off for this was the idea of doing found footage at Torchwood, in the realms of Blair Witch and Cannibal Holocaust, and also thinking of Ring and the idea of a film that comes to possess you, and that idea of a curse existing in an object, like M. R. James’ Casting the Runes. There’s a whole big potpourri of horror stuff in there!”
