Wakey wakey, Torchwood One!
Canary Wharf’s Torchwood team face their worst nightmares in a brand-new full-cast audio drama box set, due to be released in April 2022 by Big Finish Productions.
London, 2005. Yvonne Hartman (Tracy-Ann Oberman) is living the dream as the undisputed head of Torchwood One. Above the government, beyond the police, she has excellent people skills; enjoys regular tea with the Queen; and effortlessly defends the British Empire from alien threats.
With her top assistant, Ianto Jones (Gareth David-Lloyd), and head of alien acquisitions, Tommy Pierce (Timothy Bentinck), Yvonne knows the 21st century is when everything changes, and she’s ready. Or is she?
Torchwood One: Nightmares is now available to pre-order as a 3-disc collector’s edition box set (on CD + download for just £19.99) or digital download only (for just £16.99), exclusively here.
Torchwood wake up to three nightmares. Yvonne Hartman finds herself in an endless chat show; lying next to a dead member of the royal family; and Torchwood One has been invaded. Is it too late to save the world this time?
The three exciting adventures in this box set are:
My Guest Tonight by Tim Foley
Many people have poured out their souls on Nigel Best’s sofa. His guest tonight is Yvonne Hartman.
Lola by Rochana Patel
Ianto Jones thinks something’s wrong with Torchwood. So does Yvonne Hartman. The problem is they think it’s each other.
Less Majesty by James Goss
Yvonne Hartman wakes up in a reasonably nice hotel room next to a dead member of the royal family. Awkward.
Please note that Torchwood contains adult material and may not be suitable for younger listeners.
Producer James Goss said: “Torchwood One is back, with three stories all seeing Yvonne, Ianto and Torchwood One encounter various nightmares. Ianto is convinced that something has stolen a day of Torchwood's time; Yvonne is trapped in a chat show that never ends; and one of the team wakes up in bed next to a dead VIP.
“Tracy-Ann Oberman, Gareth David-Lloyd and Timothy Bentinck are joined by Jon Culshaw giving a remarkable performance as haunted chat show host, Nigel Best, in Torchwood's most disturbing, off-the-wall episode ever.”
Torchwood One: Nightmares is available to pre-order for just £19.99 (on CD + download) or £16.99 (download only), exclusively from the Big Finish website.
Big Finish listeners can catch up with the previous three Torchwood One box sets for £68 (CD + download) or £55 (download only) when purchased together in a bundle.
All the above prices include the special pre-order discount and are subject to change after general release.
