This month’s main range Torchwood story sees Toshiko Sato on a desperate quest…

It’s a pleasantly linear story, setting up the situation, throwing in some complications, and apparent gaps and then resolving it in time for something that’s really unusual in Torchwood

Producer Emily Cook said: “Excitingly, Torchwood: Drive is my very first Big Finish production to be released! I am thrilled with how it’s turned out (kudos to the entire creative team!) and hope fans enjoy listening to this audio adventure as much as we enjoyed making it. 

“Tosh takes centre stage in Drive, accompanied in her investigations by the best taxi driver in Cardiff, Fawzia, played by the marvellous Suzanne Packer. It was a delight to welcome Suzanne to world of Torchwood. Fawzia is a character we all fell in love with and Suzanne brought her to life perfectly and brilliantly.”

Director Lisa Bowerman agreed: “I love scripts that have a lot of atmosphere, whether it be fog or rain…it really, really works! And I personally love the humanity of this particular script; there are some lovely relationships. We’re so used to Tosh being an outsider in these things, and the fact that she’s built up this wonderful relationship with Fawzia is lovely.”

Naoko Mori added: “The minute I heard Suzanne I was like ‘There she is! That’s Fawzia!’ And I think everyone needs a Fawzia. Certainly Tosh, especially her! It was lovely for her to get out of the hub and have an adventure on her own, and also to come across someone so warm. It’s lovely for her to have that kind of bond.”
