We take a journey back to London, 2005 in a brand-new Torchwood One box set packed with nightmarish full-cast audio dramas, released today by Big Finish .

In between defending the British Empire from alien threats, the dutiful head of Torchwood One Yvonne Hartman (Tracy-Ann Oberman) also faces the monstrous side of humans. In three new audio adventures, she has to deal with a seedy chat show host, a chunk of missing memory and a member of the royal family (deceased). Meanwhile her trusty assistant Ianto Jones (Gareth David-Lloyd) is detained and accused of betraying Torchwood.

Timothy Bentinck MBE, best known for his work in the BBC Radio 4 series The Archers, returns to play the head of alien acquisitions Tommy Pierce and Big Finish regular Jon Culshaw gives a powerful performance as the heinous TV presenter Nigel Best.

Torchwood wake up to three nightmares. Yvonne Hartman finds herself in an endless chat show; lying next to a dead member of the royal family; and Torchwood One has been invaded. Is it too late to save the world this time? 

My Guest Tonight by Tim Foley 

Many people have poured out their souls on Nigel Best’s sofa. His guest tonight is Yvonne Hartman.

Ianto Jones thinks something’s wrong with Torchwood. So does Yvonne Hartman. The problem is they think it’s each other.

Less Majesty by James Goss 

Yvonne Hartman wakes up in a reasonably nice hotel room next to a dead member of the royal family. Awkward.

The cast also includes Timothy Blore (The King’s Man, Colosseum), Susan Momoko Hingley (Years and Years), Blythe Jandoo (Beauty and the Beast), and Damian Lynch (The Split).

Tracy-Ann Oberman said: “It’s always a joy to play Yvonne – I love her! I think she’s such a wonderful character. She’s so mercurial. Is she a victim, villain, saviour, or demon? We don’t know. As the years have gone by with Big Finish, we’ve added more and more layers as to who she is and the writing for her is spectacular.”

Gareth David-Lloyd added: “Ianto is still a bit green and eager to please. He’s found himself in a comfortable role at Torchwood and is feeling protected. He’s got to step up to the plate and find that brave soul that was there when he went to London when he was a tearaway from Wales.”

Torchwood One: Nightmares is now available to own for just £19.99 (collector’s edition CD box set + download) or £16.99 (download only), exclusively from www.bigfinish.com.
