To help deal with my CV lockdown (or whatever we call it), I’m taking advantage of the Torchwood boxsets on iPlayer. First up, Everything Changes. I won’t watch them all, just enough to really remind myself what I thought of it all before this blog! Everything Changes (for Gwen Cooper) First impressions are it’s as…
Here’s something to get excited about – Freema Agyeman has recorded a Big Finish story! Yes, Martha Jones comes to Big Finish! It’s not a David Tennant Tenth Doctor boxset (yet!) but it is a Torchwood story. Freema is alongside Eve Myles in the Tim Foley tale Torchwood: Dissected due in February 2020! Full news…
The 2019 Torchwood meets Doctor Who monsters season began with the April release, Night of the Fendahl. Perhaps not the most obvious of classic monsters to revisit, in the hands of writer Tim Foley it’s a superb listen (and let’s not forget the sound work of Mark Hendrick.)
Torchwood: We Always Get Out Alive is another rock-solid Guy Adams story, and another jewel in the crown of the monthly Torchwood range. I put some thoughts behind that opinion in a piece for CultBox: Torchwood: We Always Get Out Alive review. === Message Ends ===
My review for Torchwood: Made You Look is now on CultBox: ‘Torchwood’ review: Season 2 of Big Finish’s audios concludes with ‘Made You Look’. I liked it, but did feel it wasn’t as excellent as the others in this range. Given how good they are, this is not an issue at all and I recommend it. — Message Ends…
Well, now we know at least one of the recent secret projects is a November 2016 release of a full-cast three-disc boxset Torchwood: Outbreak. The cast includes John Barrowman, Eve Myles, Gareth David-Lloyd, Kai Owen and Tom Price. This was announced on the latest podcast. That still leaves four stories unaccounted for! <-> Message Ends <->
On a day of Big Finish announcements, Eve Myles has tweeted something we all want to read – she is in studio today and is dropping big hints as to who else is in the story. Director Scott Handcock is also in studio today so it looks pretty certain Gwen Cooper will return to the…
It’s to Eve Myles to bring the first series of Big Finish Torchwood audios to a close in More Than This. Guy Adams (who wrote the wonderful Vienna story Big Society, also out this month. It’s a pillar to post tour round the everyday realities of Cardiff in the Torchwood universe in the company of Gwen Cooper, ably supported in a…
Big Finish has released the cover for the final story in the first Torchwood series – More than this by Guy Adams. Not only are we promised a little cameo (PC Andy?) but this also continues forward from Forgotten Lives and big news – the Hub aka Torchwood 3 is coming back! -!- Message Ends -!-
In a bold stroke, the Big Finish Torchwood range grabs the headlines in Forgotten Lives, with two returning characters and sets a high-tide mark. We get Eve Myles and Kai Owen back as husband and wife Gwen Cooper and Rhys Williams, and learn this story is set years after Miracle Day. Emma Reeves (prolific writer for BBC, including Tracy Beaker)…
In a suspiciously interesting chance phone call, BBC Radio Wales DJ Tom Price, aka Sgt Andy Davison from Torchwood, is disappointed not to be approached to be in the new Torchwood audios from Big Finish. What else is there to do but phone your old chum Kai Owen and find out what he knows? By chance Kai is on and the…
Big Finish bringing back Torchwood on audio is good news. As is the way of things (and the BBC are masters of this) there is a lot we don’t know about what is going on. I thought I’d gather together the few facts we have, point out what we don’t know and speculate (trying to…
