I’ve listened to all of The Story Continues except for the latest box set.
I know all about Mr Colchester! He’s cool.
I was under the impression Gwen had a pretty minor role? I may be wrong.
I just need to do a full re-listen because I didn’t pay it the most attention (it was early days of my Big Finish listening and I now know how I can concentrate better) which I will either do after the main range or in the correct chronological order…
The latest box set or the latest season?
Agree 100%, would love some more Ng in the monthly range.
The correct chronological order gets pretty weird with The Torchwood Archive, Broken, Coffee, and Fragments, all having bits from all over the place
Also you have to make a couple detours to Doctor Who stories (which I haven’t yet) including just dropping The Story Continues in the middle of a season to go and listen to all of Stranded. (At least I assume it’s all one chunk, I haven’t listened to stranded yet so not put it on the timeline, may be my next listen, at the very least you have to flick back and forth between Stranded and Among Us)
Oh I mean I have yet to listen to Among Us Part 1 and onwards.
I’ve done Stranded.
But I have literally no idea how Stranded is anything to do with Torchwood.
Actually I think I can guess. Tania Bell?
Andy!!!
She’s only in the one story, but it’s her, Rhys, and Ng, and really good
Ok I was going to guess Andy next but Tania literally is supposed to be from Torchwood.
Looking forward to that. Gwen is the GOAT.
That too to be fair, but yeah, by that point in the timeline Andy is also working for Torchwood (ish, it’s a bit weird)
I only have the first Story continues box set and haven’t listened to it. I know I want more but I have so many series I need to get and listen to.
In this essay I will discuss why Andy Davidson is the most interesting character in Torchwood, looking at all forms of Torchwood media (TV, Audio, Books, Comics).
Since his first appearance in Everything Changes, Andy has…
captured the heart of @WeAreInACar 
Unironically though, if I ever got the chance to do a stupid presentation to friends and that, it would absolutely be about Andy
If there’s lots of photos, count me in! 
I suppose this is the place to ask a Torchwood question 
I kind of want to do the Story Continues/Among Us audios.
The story order is Aliens Among Us → God Among Us → Among Us, right?
It is indeed, yeah!
I’d probably listen to at least Ghost Mission from the main range before jumping in though
Oh yeah… Don’t I feel foolish now
And thanks @JayPea 
Just finished Border Princes.
Before the full review will say that before this book, just how many torchood stories there are in how little time felt completely mad when trying to put it all on the timeline, but here they have to deal with five or so threats in nine days… makes how much there is make a bit more sense now.
An interesting insight into the comings and goings of the hub.
Throughout the story the Torchwood team have to deal with five or six different completely disconnected threats, almost making this story feel a little like an anthology looking back on it rather than a single novel.
There is, of course, something linking everything together, a strange character named ‘James’, a member of Torchwood who’s apparently been here since the beginning, but obviously seeing the TV show, has never appeared otherwise. The parallels with the TV Episode ‘Adam’ are obvious, and unfortunately it’s a comparison that doesn’t exactly help Border Princes.
That’s definitely not to say this is a bad story, the threats they have to face are all interesting in their own unique ways, all things I could see full episodes about, fleshing them all out a little more, they range from the planet-ending to the mostly harmless, and the way they’re all shown here along side each other does a great job of being a ‘Torchwood Variety Pack’ of sorts. All sides of what Torchwood faces here are showcased, with everything just being ‘another day in the office’, nothing given much more focus than the others (apart from James of course), unlike the TV show where End of the World scenarios are saved for big finales…
Another thing I want to talk about here is the characterisation. Tosh and Ianto don’t get much to do (though I do like the sense of comraderie that we get of the whole team’s interactions), and while Owen doesn’t get too much, he’s done really solidly, especially his interactions with James. Jack has some great moments with Gwen, his frustration towards the team not doing as well as they could is an interesting character beat, and his apology to Gwen about it later in the story makes it just work for me. James is an interesting case, there’s a lot of time dedicated to him, and I’m not sure quite how I feel about it. It’s interesting to see from his eyes, but I feel that time could have been used for the rest of the team rather than this character that’s exclusive to a single story, and then there’s Gwen… This is very much Torchwood Season One Gwen, cheating on Rhys with James right from the start and it’s not a great look for that to be the aspect of her character that’s given the most attention. That said, I think it’s done here a lot better than the show, she uses it to reflect on her relationship with Rhys, and very nearly breaks up with him for Rhys, something I don’t think Season One Gwen would have done at all. As already mentioned too, her interactions with the rest of the team, especially her conflicts with Jack, are done really well, it’s just a shame that’s not the main way she’s shown here.
