Torchwood, No. 18 - The Dying Room (CD)

Paris, 1940s. The German-occupied city is in a state of turmoil - a plague ravages the streets, turning people into deformed monsters. The city's finest hotel is under siege. SS interrogator Grau has come here to find out the truth. Grau has one night to cure the plague and to unmask the mysterious Madame Berber and who she's really working for. Herr Grau knows all about Project Hermod. And now he's going to find out all about Torchwood.The huge and long-running public interest in new Torchwood adventures resulted in a server melt-down when its return on audio was announced by star John Barrowman on his Sunday night radio slot.Across the range, John Barrowman, Eve Myles, Kai Owen and Gareth David-Lloyd have reprised the characters who starred in four years of hit Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood, screened around the world - Gareth David-Lloyd played Ianto Jones in the BBC series, a character so popular with fans that when he was killed off, a shrine was created in Cardiff that is still there to this day! Director Scott Handcock was the showrunner on Big Finish's hugely popular The Confessions of Dorian Gray series starring Alexander Vlahos (BBC's Versailles). Big Finish's Torchwood range includes - so far - three specials: Torchwood - Outbreak, The Torchwood Archive and Torchwood One - Before the Fall, and in late 2017 a new audio range carries on the series from where it left off on TV. CAST: Simon Russell Beale (M LeDuc), Mark Elstob (Herr Grau), Emma Cunniffe (Madame Berber), Aly Cruickshank (Gabriel), David Sibley (The Manager).
