Paul Clayton said: “It’s fascinating for me when I get these fantastic scripts that reveal a little more of the enigma that is St John Colchester. There’s a rich story behind him and it’s what makes him interesting to encounter.”

Tracy-Ann Oberman said: “Yvonne is the person you want in the world – she's always ahead of the game. The writers really know this world and have invested in it. Everything has a logic and meaning so there’s a pay-off later.”

Tom Price said: “It’s great fun to play Andy Davidson. He’s still got the bouncy enthusiasm – leaping into every situation and reacting with real honesty.”

Murray Melvin said: “It’s lovely playing a baddie. I’ve played a long line of baddies.”

Nathaniel Curtis added: “What a lovely group of people. It’s been so enjoyable to bounce off each other. Bilis Manger is genuinely quite frightening!”

Reviews

This is a box set that just builds to a proper payoff, and it just feels really well continued. Torchwood is back, as far as I'm concerned. It's a genuine piece of art.
Tin Dog Podcast

The middle two stories are great showcases for the range of Tim Foley as a writer as he handles both detective and horror narratives deftly. The boxset as a whole does a great job of furthering the narrative while still offering one the range’s best stand alone stories to date, if Among Us 3 is half as good as this then I think this Jack-free iteration of the series will be a proven success.

From the dripping sarcasm of Yvonne Hartman to the cheeky charm and dubious accent of Tyler Steele (Jonny Green), this is new Torchwood at its finest. As pointed out in the extras, only Yvonne, Sgt. Andy, and Ianto Jones (Gareth David-Lloyd) came from the original TV series. The new characters have really made Torchwood their own. Orr and Ng (Alexandria Riley), as empaths and shape-changers, have taken on some major tasks in previous audios and continue to do so here. Mr. Colchester (Paul Clayton) is perfection, as always. I love the direction of travel in this and look forward to the next series.
