(Since no one else has started this thread I will - apologies if I am treading on toes)
Well, I didn't see this one coming. Thought recent tweets meant another guest appearance in a Torchwood release but I am looking forward to this.
at £28 for CD pre-order it is higher in price than I would have expected, £23 seems to be the norm for a DW spin-off with 4 stories. Wonder if this price rise is a sign of things to come, or maybe BF are factoring in a no-deal brexit?

Since no one else has started this thread I will Welcome to the Advanced Thread starters
I saw it coming cause James Masters said 4 stories in his Tweets. At the moment the hook for me is which unanswered questions will be answered.
I probably will get this but its not a priority purchase yet.
Regards

I'm pretty sure I'll get this, but it's not coming out till Jan 2020! No rush to pre-order. And yeah, the tease about unanswered questions is intriguing. Possibly more about Jack's missing 2 years?

I would presume James Marsters is the reason why this set has a slightly higher pre-order price than usual.

Sounds fun. Villains are really coming into their own recently. Used to just be Daleks and Factors who got their own stuff.
Hope he can still pop up in post Miracle Day series. Is he still on earth?

January 2020?
Filing under "interested...but waaay too early for serious consideration"
Obviously subject to rapid change once the trailer and the story details drop onto the Website at some point next year though.. 😊

I wasn’t the biggest fan of The Death of Captain Jack. I will probably end up getting this simply because the two times I’ve met James Marsters at cons he has been the most delightful human.

im not a torchwood fan but i'll probably because of spike. plus i was intrigued with the time agency i wouldn't mind finding out what they are about. btw how many episodes of torchwood was he in? i saw 1 before i dropped the show. all i
remember is there was a lot of shooting then he kissed captain jack immediately following all the shooting.

Will definitely order this soon. A year in advance isn't too far to be pre-ordering but I'd rather have as many of next year's releases as possible squared away first before seriously getting to work on 2020. (Still waiting on more MR offerings to be posted in order to have the 12-month sub option, and more announcements/offers for the anniversary box sets. I'd have them all on my Christmas list if they were available now).

Can this be just great and NOT interspersed with sex noises please?

Can this be just great and NOT interspersed with sex noises please? Seconded! Some otherwise great episodes of audio Torchwood have been let down (I don't want to used the word "ruined") by needless sex scenes/sounds. I have a feeling this set will probably fall into that category though...

Yeah, it does sound a bit weird on audio knowing they're on their own faking sex scenes in booths. Especially sitting with earphones in. However it doesn't bother me...out of nowhere shagging is something the show always had. I kinda appreciate that BF haven't just got rid of that kind of thing - for better or worse it's part of what Torchwood is in it's DNA. Especially with characters like Jack or Tyler, they use sex as a surrogate for having something meaninfgul in their life so it's not titilation, it's quite sad and pathetic.

Maybe it reads like that on the script but for me it's tedious to listen to and drags a good story down. Same issue I had with the original Cyberman series and the repetitive kissing/making out scenes. For me it actually doesn't work and drags me out of the story.

Loved Spike but not this character.No sale. Put James Marsters into Main Who as someone different and i may bite. I like what you did there! A Spike boxset, especially with Drusilla, would be an instant pre-order, but unfortunately I am not a big Torchwood fan. James Masters would make a great Corsair in the Doctor Who universe if Big Finish ever gets the go ahead from Neil Gaiman.

I haven’t jumped on to the BF Torchwood releases yet, not out of lack of desire or anything, but this might make me want to rush to the add to cart lol.

Actually, I suggest you jump on with the second monthly release, Fall To Earth. The monthly Torchwood range is some of the best things BF produce. Highly recommended!! Although this set sounds like a blast!
