Torchwood: Continuing the Monthly Range

I would like to see some slightly earlier Torchwood soho stuff set during WWII. I think it would be interesting to see how the Allies and Nazis tried to use alien technology to help the war effort.

I listened to a couple of the Main Range audios a few years ago, but thatā€™s it. I love the show, but somehow I havenā€™t gotten into the Torchwood audio. Itā€™s partly due to the fact that almost none of the original cast members are involved these days, and partly because the stories donā€™t really entice me. I have meant to listen to Aliens/Gods Among Us but have never gotten around to it.

I think among us is the best of the torchwood big finish things

The main range has stories I really like, and like more than among us, but itā€™s few and far between
Probably want to listen to series 1 and two of the main range before among us though (then again, I didnā€™t and was fine)

Looks like we have another era of Torchwoodā€™s history (the 1920s), a couple more horror stories (including a Guy Adams return ā€” I love his TW scripts), and great news for me: my girl Tosh is back! Iā€™ve missed her.

These look quite exciting to me ā€” Iā€™ll certainly snap up a couple. Any thoughts?

Oooooo, 1920s torchwood sounds fun!

1920s, Tosh, Rhys, and something else new with no torchwood cast announced (but dealing with them as the plot background)

That last one could be really good or very mediocre, but with Guy Adams on the script Iā€™m thinking the former and definitely looking forward to it, just double checked which torchwood audios were his and theyā€™re 8s and 9s across the board (apart from Moving Target and Believe, but those are still 7s and I really need to relisten to believe)

1920s Torchwood sounds excellent!

Also looks like itā€™s be a Jeeves and Wooster style story ā€” which sounds excellent!

Nice. Excited for another story with Tosh and to explore a new era of Torchwood.

Oh yeah I am praying to see some Torchwood audios with Tania. Sheā€™s one of my favorite characters from Stranded and I really really want to see more of her. I was hoping for her to pop up in season 7 but, oh well.

reviving this thread to throw my 50p in an say that iā€™m really only interested these days in the audios featuring bf original characters esp the new team, as i feel weā€™ve had plenty of the og team and your original post kinda highlights the issues there that we have rn. i do hope we get some more stuff akin to the ianthology and ood trilogy!

Idm BF original characters but for me personally it depends on the story itself. If youā€™re going to use a character, Iā€™d rather learn something about that character, rather than have the entirety of the audio evolve around the plotline.

Art Decadence is a perfect balance of the two imo. Of plot and character exploration. And I do love when audios connect to other audios via small hints.

Anyway I want more 1970s Torchwood One and am always debating on writing fanfiction for some of those characters. Cornwell, my beloved

Wasnā€™t as keen on the Ood trilogy but it did introduce the android girl with the same name as me and she was sweet. Only because I canā€™t really imagine more science-fiction settings as well as I can a run-down street.

I did love the Ianthology but itā€™s also likeā€¦where are you gonna take the character now? Especially after the Torchwood One boxset fitting the definition of ā€œfinaleā€ perfectly. I thought Missing Molly was the weakest due to it having less connections to other audios but then I read a post pointing out how the theme of the trilogy was fatherhoodā€¦ And now Iā€™ve made myself sad by thinking about it too much. For his character im just gonna go on hopium and hope we get something to do with the Shrouded comic pls itā€™d be so good :pray:

And also more Gwen during the TV series would be interesting. I wanna see more of her Big Finish interpretation from an earlier era because a lot is post-S4.

Wasnā€™t she introduced in Empire of Shadows or am I thinking of a different character?

For the 50th they got Tennant in for a story. Seems like heā€™s not currently under contract with BF though.

Heā€™s really the only doctor who interacted with Torchwood so another cameo wouldnā€™t make sense.

For the 50th they got Tennant in for a Story and then never released it despite having fully made it >:CCCC

I think she was introduced earlier, my memory is just bad, I listened to them all at once in July :sweat_smile:

And then the transcript ā€œleakedā€ and it was perfection.

Someone has it on a hard driveā€¦somewhereā€¦

Then again, if it actually ever releases or leaks fully I will probably be disappointed there isnā€™t a scene of 10 and Ianto bonding over Rose and Lisa while looking over into the Bay.
