It’s time to reveal more of Bilis Manger’s past in an upcoming Torchwood audio.

Featuring the return of Murray Melvin (A Taste of Honey, Jonathan Creek) as Bilis Manger, Curios finds this Torchwood antagonist in the middle of World War Two, deep in a disused coal mine surrounded by countless treasured artworks – and a few secrets…

The cast is completed by Rosie Baker (The Lone Centurion) as WWII Wren Jill Anderson, Matthew Gravelle (Broadchurch, Exile) as Sergeant Wilf Church and Laurie Kynaston (How to Build a Girl, The Feed) as Private Brent Hall.

During World War Two, the Torchwood Archive has been stowed away in a Welsh coal mine along with countless other art treasures. Bilis Manger is among them. And there’s something hunting him in the dark. Jill has been sent to catalogue the collection. She’s on her own, she’s in disgrace and there’s something hunting her on the slopes of the mountain. 

Director and script editor Scott Handcock said: “Bilis is back! Ever since his first appearance in Aliens Among Us, we realised what fantastic scope there was with Bilis Manger. Not quite a villain, definitely not a hero, he’s such an enjoyable character to write a story around – always brought to life so precisely by the legend that is Murray Melvin.

“His presence brings a splendid sense of unease and it’s great to see how characters respond to him, especially this time round – when haunted WREN Jill Anderson discovers him down a disused coal mine in the middle of World War Two. But why?”

Torchwood: Curios is now available to pre-order as a collector’s edition CD at £10.99 or on download from the Big Finish website at £8.99.
