There’s a tense time for Toshiko Sato in the latest tale from Torchwood, out now from Big Finish.

Naoko Mori stars in Rossa McPhillips’ War Chest as shy, unassuming computer genius Tosh, forced to help thieves break into a top-secret vault. But when escape proves difficult, the power-hungry Dow Cohort realise they have no idea who they’re dealing with.  Also joining the cast is Homer Todiwala (as Ed Strong), Bhavini Sheth (as Nisha Bhatti), Tom Butcher (as Vernon Roden), and Samuel Clemens (as the Antebellum guard).

It’s the largest depository of alien artefacts ever assembled, ready to wage war against the heavens. Of course, they called it the Antebellum. Of course, they forgot about it. But the Dow Cohort have rediscovered it. And tonight, they’re breaking in. They have one hour and Toshiko Sato as a reluctant hostage. Can they steal Torchwood’s greatest secret? 

Producer James Goss said: “It’s Die Hard meets Raiders of the Lost Ark but starring Toshiko Sato. It’s a thriller, it’s an action movie on audio, and it’s very subversive. If Michael Bay directed an episode of Torchwood after undergoing sensitivity training, then it would be War Chest.”

Script Editor David Winfield added: “I was so excited to bring an accomplished thriller writer like Rossa McPhillips to the world of Torchwood. Immediately he started talking about the grey area of Torchwood’s morals and was keen to test our characters to the max.

“It’s gritty, hard and deadly. Tosh herself is Torchwood’s most trustworthy operative so plunging her into this world of temptation was just irresistible! But is she really a hostage of the Dow Cohort? You’ll have to listen to find out.”

Torchwood: War Chest is available to own for just £10.99 (collector’s edition CD + download) or £8.99 (download only), exclusively from the Big Finish website.
