It’s time for Paul Clayton’s Mr Colchester and Sophie Aldred’s Ace to team up once more.

They met in Torchwood: The Red List, but now they’re out of quarantine and back in a new adventure!

Ace finds herself targeted by assassins. Luckily, grumpy Torchwood agent St John Colchester (Paul Clayton) is on hand to help. But with Ace’s charity and life at stake, can she really trust him?

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? 

Producer and writer James Goss, said: “Last time Ace and Mr Colchester were holed up in a single room. Now they’re on a chase through Venice, pursued by strange killers in masks, and on a quest that sees them on everything from a cable car to a gondola. It’s a thrilling ride!”

Director Steven Kavuma added: “It’s a lovely relationship [between Ace and Mr Colchester] and they have such a great dynamic together. Sophie Aldred and Paul Clayton are absolutely amazing actors who take notes on really quickly and make the job easier for everyone.”

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