Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

Big Finish has revealed the cover and story details for the final instalment of Torchwood: Among Us, due for release in July 2023.

Returning for the epic conclusion are Tracy-Ann Oberman (as Yvonne Hartman), Samantha Béart (as Orr), Paul Clayton (as Mr Colchester), Jonny Green (as Tyler Steele), Alexandria Riley (as Ng), and Kai Owen (as Rhys Williams).

And in the series finale, legendary Blue Peter presenter, actress and writer, Janet Ellis MBE makes a special appearance as Janet – a TV presenter and national treasure having a truly terrible day.

Janet Ellis said: “In 1979, I played Princess Teka in The Horns of Nimon with Tom Baker and I’ve been a Doctor Who fan ever since. Torchwood is just the most brilliant set of stories and spin-off. It has the same life and vigour and all of the things you need from Doctor Who – a real leap of imagination while also keeping it real.”

Torchwood are on the run. As the world puts itself back together, Torchwood are there to pick up the pieces. And they find something nasty hiding in them. A forgotten social network is out for revenge. Someone’s killing influencers. Torchwood get into crypto. The world ends tomorrow night at 6pm.

“I know where I am. And I know what I will do next.”

The four adventures in this box set are as follows:

How I Conquered the World by Tim Foley, Ash Darby and James Goss

Hello Friend! You’ve probably all still got an account on Friend. Can you remember what you posted on it? Are you still using the same password? And did you ever say goodbye?

Doomscroll by Ash Darby

Something is killing influencers and Torchwood have to save them. Mr Colchester discovers a whole new world and he doesn’t like it one bit. Don’t forget to like and subscribe.

Heistland by Tim Foley

Deadcoin is an exclusive crypto currency used by the world’s governments to do dark deals. The ultimate weapon is for sale and Yvonne Hartman decides the only thing to do is to take Deadcoin down.

The Apocalypse Starts at 6 PM by James Goss

Janet’s Late Teatime is the TV equivalent of a cup of soup and a lapful of kittens. So when Torchwood announce the world will end on tomorrow night’s show – well, what’s Janet going to do?

Producer and Writer James Goss said: “We were gobsmacked to get Janet Ellis playing the part of Janet. The queen of Blue Peter! The mother of Sophie Ellis-Bextor! Teka from Doctor Who and the Horns of Nimon!

“It turns out that Janet worked with Paul Clayton on Jigsaw and he took her out to lunch and talked her into it. Words cannot describe how starstruck the entire studio was by her and how game she was. I still have samples on my phone that I play to remind myself that it actually happened.”
