Torchwood: Lost Souls

The Torchwood team and Martha Jones face danger at CERN in this special BBC Radio episode, starring John Barrowman, Eve Myles, Gareth David-Lloyd and Freema Agyeman.

Joseph Lidster is an author, script writer and actor who has written over 15 dramas for the Doctor Who, Sapphire and Steel and The Tomorrow People ranges, as well as the Torchwood audiobooks In the Shadows and Red Skies. His TV credits include the Torchwood episode 'A Day in the Death' and three episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures. He has also written numerous short stories, including the title story in the Torchwood: Consequences collection and 'Cybermen: Status Update' (an exclusive adventure included in the BBC's interactive ebook Doctor Who: Cybermen Monster File).

Following the tragic deaths of two of their colleagues, only Captain Jack Harkness, Gwen Cooper and Ianto Jones remain of Torchwood, protecting humanity against the unknown. Martha Jones, ex-time traveller and now working as a doctor for UNIT, has been called to CERN - the world’s largest particle physics laboratory in Geneva. They’re about to activate the Large Hadron Collider, designed to recreate conditions after the Big Bang and thus give an insight into what the Universe is made of. But so much could go wrong: it could open a gateway to a parallel dimension, or even create a black hole. Voices from the past are calling out to people from the LHC, and scientists have started to disappear. Where have they gone? What is lurking in the underground tunnel - and do the dead ever really stay dead? Based on the award-winning BBC Wales TV production Torchwood, Lost Souls is written by Joseph Lidster, and stars John Barrowman, Eve Myles, Gareth David-Lloyd and Freema Agyeman, with Lucy Montgomery, Stephen Critchlow and Mark Meadows. Also in this release is a bonus programme, Torchwood: All Access, going behind the scenes of the TV show. First broadcast on BBC Radio Wales, it features Russell T Davies and members of the TV series cast and crew.

Saving the planet, watching over the Rift, preparing the human race for the twenty-first century... Torchwood has been keeping Cardiff safe since the late 1800s. Small teams of heroes, working 24/7, encountering and containing the alien, the bizarre and the inexplicable. 
 
But Torchwood do not always see the effects of their actions. What links the Rules and Regulations for replacing a Torchwood leader to the destruction of a supermarket? How does a witness to an alien's reprisals against Torchwood become caught up in a night of terror in a university library? And why should Gwen and Ianto's actions at a local publisher's affect Torchwood more than a century earlier? 
 
For Torchwood, the past will always catch up with them. And sometimes the future will catch up with the past... 
 
Featuring sci-fi stories by writers for the hit Torchwood series created by Russell T Davies for BBC Television, including James Moran and Joseph Lidster, plus Andrew Cartmel, Sarah Pinborough and David Llewellyn.
