Torchwood Radio

Woop! Torchwood is back on the radio!

After the success of Torchwood: Lost Souls (which you can listen to here) the good old BBC have decided to bring out three new radio plays with the Torchwood cast!

Three 45 minute episodes will air in Radio 4's Afternoon Play slot at 2.15pm. The three new radio plays bridge the gap between Torchwood: Lost Souls and the upcoming Torchwood: Children of Earth television series.

The episodes feature Captain Jack, Gwen & Ianto and have been recorded over the last two weeks. The episodes will be broadcast in advance of Torchwood: Children of Earth and will be available in the UK on BBC iPlayer and as a download for 7 days after broadcast.

Asylum by Anita Sullivan
The story of a teen runaway called Freda who is brought to the attention of Torchwood by PC Andy. As Gwen, Jack and Ianto investigate where this troubled girl has come from, Andy finds himself drawn closer than ever before into the world of Torchwood.

Golden Age by James Goss
Torchwood go to India to investigate the disappearance of hundreds of people. The trail leads them to an old colonial club which seems strangely stuck in the past as does its young and beautiful owner, the Duchess.

The Dead Line by Phil Ford
A series of mysterious phone calls lead Jack into danger, and result in 'a very emotional moment for Ianto'.

Doctor Who filming, 29.04.09

Looks like this finale is shaping up to be as mental as the last one :P

Filming took place today on the upstairs floor of Tiger Tiger, so as usual there wont be any images from inside (although it was used in the Torchwood episode 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang')

And who was there? Well according to all the fantastic people who stood outside for hours on end:

• Tennant in his brown suit
• Barrowman in dark blue shirt
• Jimmy Vee as a Graske
• A slitheen
• Monks
• Mysterious women
• Red & white aliens

The CGI people were there as well, so perhaps there'll be some CGI aliens?

AND apparently Russel Tovey (Midshipman Frame) was there as well in a black military-style uniform and short hair.

The monks also seem link they're the same ones that were filming inside the caves recently... Time Lordy perhaps?

And the red and white aliens look similar to background characters seen in New Earth (in the hospital) and in Gridlock (in separate cars)

So its all insane! Goodness knows whats going on. Theres speculation that this might be for a scene that was cut from 'The Stolen Earth' where almost all the aliens from New Who where in the Shadow Proclaimation and Midshipman Frame was a soldier for them. It was mentioned in The Writers Tale by RTD and in a commentry DT said he wanted the scene to appear in one of the specials.
