Building work on the London Underground has disturbed a nest of Weevils. The ravenous creatures are hunting for flesh. Can Torchwood One contain the feast?

Recorded on: 26 September 2023

Recorded at: The Soundhouse

Gareth David-Lloyd said: “I got the idea for Tube Strike from some ideas suggested by Torchwood producer, James Goss, and the horror aspect jumped out at me straight away. I’m a big fan of those 70s and 80s horror films, like An American Werewolf in London and Death Line, so writing a scary chase through the tunnels of the London Underground was something that I definitely fancied doing.

“I always enjoy writing for Ianto and Tommy because they’re so chalk and cheese; there’s lots of fun to be had, especially as their relationship develops. Ianto is finding his feet in the field, finding his agency and a bit of bravery, while he’s out with Tommy, who’s constantly berating him.”

Actor Timothy Bentinck added: “I love playing Tommy, and his double act relationship with Ianto. He’s fond of Ianto but doesn’t want him to know. He’s protective and paternal about this boy. Much teased is much loved!”
