Radio Torchwood
In the run up to Torchwood: Children of Earth on TV next week, BBC Radio Four is broadcasting three one-off Torchwood audio dramas.
Wednesday July 1st: Asylum by Anita Sullivan
“When PC Andy arrests a teenager for shoplifting, he thinks it is going to be a routine case. Then he sees the weapon she is carrying and decides to call in the Torchwood team.”
Thursday July 2nd: Golden Age by James Goss
“The Torchwood team are led to Delhi on the trail of a dangerous energy field. As the field grows, they witness the simultaneous disappearance of hundreds of people.”
Friday July 3rd: The Dead Line by Phil Ford
“When a Cardiff hospital is inundated with patients who have fallen into coma-like trances, Torchwood move in to investigate. The trances appear to have been triggered by phone calls, all received on retro phones and made from a number that hadn’t been active for over 30 years.”
That last one sounds like it might have echoes of Sapphire and Steel – which would be no bad thing.
All three 45 minute Torchwood stories will be broadcast in the 2:15 Afternoon Play slot on Radio 4.
