Shireen’s not exactly enjoying being sectioned, but she’s been in worse places. That psychiatric unit in Brecon was a right dump. This one’s alright, though. There’s table tennis, art therapy and they even get to do a bit of gardening.

There’s only one problem. Shireen’s roommate. Toshiko - she's a total space cadet, convinced the unit is overrun by aliens. Yeah, right.

Please note: This release contains adult content and themes regarding mental health topics, such as psychosis and anorexia and may not be suitable for younger listeners.

Recorded on: 28 February 2022

Recorded at: The Soundhouse

Reviews

Suckers is a really great entry into Tosh’s audio pantheon and shows the breadth and depth of social commentary that Torchwood offers as a story telling medium. 10/10
Indie Mac User

Suckers gives you way more than you may have been bargaining for, and it gives it to you through an A++ script, superb performances, and a creeping multi-level horror in the best traditions of the most challenging Torchwood. There have been lots of great Torchwood stories in 2022, but this is something on a whole other level. Go get it, before the Suckers get you…

I enjoyed the tale. Big Finish rarely put a foot wrong with their Torchwood range, and this is no different... as a chance to examine the earliest part of Toshiko's career in Torchwood, Suckers manages to give us another facet to the life of one of Doctor Who's more underrated characters.
