Dorothy McShane needs Mr Colchester’s help in the September Torchwood main range tale, Death in Venice, penned by James Goss.

Ahead of her appearance in the centenary Doctor Who special this autumn, Sophie Aldred returns to voice classic companion Ace in Torchwood: Death In Venice. Ace is once again seeking help from Torchwood Three’s Mr Colchester, played by Paul Clayton (Doctor Who, Peep Show, Him & Her), having previously encountered him in 2021’s The Red List.

Dorothy McShane once travelled with the Doctor. She misses those days. Sure, she still saves the world, but less by beating up Daleks and catapulting Cybermen and more through running a massively successful charity.  Only, she’s on the run for her life and her charity is in trouble. Someone wants Dorothy dead.  And Torchwood are coming to the rescue. Can Mr Colchester keep her safe on the magical streets of Venice? 

Sophie Aldred said: “You cannot imagine just how much fun it is to be returning not only to the best job of my life at Doctor Who, but also to branch out once more into Torchwood with the incomparable Paul Clayton. I could quite happily listen to him all day… wait, there, I did! Lucky me.”

Paul Clayton added: “It’s always a huge treat when a new Big Finish script drops into my inbox. The writers are so clever at creating new and exciting adventures for familiar characters.

“To find that Mr Colchester was going to have more adventures teamed with Ace was absolutely magical. Sophie is just the most gorgeous actress to work with and there’s a beautiful, simple truth about her work. In the space of barely two stories Colchester and Ace have created a magical chemistry. It’s a joy to be part of.”

Torchwood: Death In Venice is available to pre-order for just £10.99 (collector’s edition CD + download) or £8.99 (digital download only), exclusively from the Big Finish website.
