Torchwood - Fall to EarthIanto Jones is back in Big Finish’s new series of audio plays based on Torchwood with Gareth David-Lloyd reprising his role from the first three series of the Doctor Who spin-off.

“Well, how could we not?” says producer James Goss. “Ianto’s such a brilliant character, and if we kept people on tenterhooks any longer, we’d be fools. Of course he’s in it and as soon as possible. We recorded with him literally the first day after he finished a theatre tour. Did he want to put his feet up? Nope. He wanted to be Ianto.”

Gareth returns in Fall To Earth, following on from John Barrowman’s return as Captain Jack Harkness in the opening instalment, The Conspiracy.

“Seeing Gareth in studio was an absolute delight,” glowed director Scott Handcock. “He clearly loves the part and had a great time. And can’t wait to be back.”

The new story will be released in October, allowing for an unbroken run of stories from September. Four more releases will follow at monthly intervals through 2016.

“There was originally going to be a gap after the first release,” explains James, “but we soon realised that everyone we spoke to was being so helpful, we’d be in studio a lot earlier. Actors, writers, agents, BBC Worldwide have all been amazing – ‘Well, since it’s Torchwood’ everyone kept saying. So it’s coming out early. Since it’s Torchwood.”

Torchwood: Fall To Earth will be released in October, and can be pre-ordered from the Big Finish website. Further casting announcements will be made soon.
