DI Kathy Swanson, a recurring character in series 1. She's played by Yasmin Bannerman in the TV show, who is a regular at Big Finish now, at least through the Blake's 7 releases. A lower decks episode maybe, where despite not knowing what she's dealing with and Torchwood unavailable still gets the job done anyway. There's that period after Children of Earth where Torchwood isn't operational, so perhaps Andy and Kathy take it upon themselves to deal with the latest alien menace.
Nina Rogers, a recurring character in the books who kept bumping into Torchwood when they had alien encounters.

I don't remember Yasmin recurring in Series 1 - or any series. I thought she only had a pretty minor role in one ep.
She's clearly someone BF like using though so I guess it could happen.

She's the police officer in They Keep Killing Suzie. She locates the book of poetry that Torchwood need to unlock the Hub and pursue Suzie. If Big Finish brought back the actor who played Alex Hopkins (who was in one scene in the episode Fragments), then this should be a cinch. Establishing a cast of characters in the Cardiff PD could flesh that out beyond just Andy as far as named characters go.

I thought she was in Sleeper from Series 2 but I may be miss-remembering.

On tv she’s only in They Keep Killing Suzie, but she also appears in a few prose stories apparently.

Yes...I just said she was in one ep - but it still isn't a recurring role unless being in more than one scene makes it recurring I wouldn't rule it out but there wasn't much to the character.

She appears in a bunch of the books, caught up in whatever scuffle Torchwood is having with an alien at that time and place. One involved a living oil slick in a department store, another was living trading card creatures in a toy store. Referred to Jack as Captain Cheese.

One of Jack's Wives or a story with his Daughter as a Teenager,
and unlikely as it will be the Doctor or River taking out Billis and Hartman they've become too big for Torchwood to deal with.

Regards mark687 I would hate that, and it would throw the whole range under the bus. You can't introduce a problem too big for your own characters then rely on the "real" heroes from another range to come along later.

In the Gallifrey range, as much as Romana would like the Doctor there at times, she had to rely on herself and her allies (when is comes to Brax working with or in spite of).

Anyway, doing a Torchwood episode like Buffy's The Zeppo (where while the other Scoobie's fought the Hellmouth's latest delight Xander stopped them from being blown up by zombie jocks) has potential. Teaming up Andy and Kathy, they don't need to know what it is as long as they can keep it from keeping Torchwood from defeating the primary threat.

Sorry I know we disagree but the charm in TW for me is the small scale human abuse abuses with or of Alien situations, you start messing with Gods and Daemons its time for Big Daddy

That really would do nothing but diminish Torchwood. They may as well just be Comissioner Gordon in the 60s Batman, just calling Batman rather than doing any police work when something is too difficult. You wouldn't have had Angel saying "Too much for me, better call Buffy" in his spinoff, or had Sisko saying "Best let the Enterprise handle this - we're not big enough on Deep Space Nine". Narrative suicide.

Right but you didn't suggest just a crossover but for The Doctor to have to come in to solve problems the team start but can't handle. That just makes the team seem ineffective. And ineffectiveness is fine when it's part of the reason they're in bother - their lies often got the guys into trouble in the show - but they also need to be able to resolve things themselves. Having The Doctor come in and save them does nothing for The Doctor and even less for the TW team. Lose-lose. And isn't TW a separate licence anyway?

Fair point regarding the licence, darn that's just making me think the end of Aliens Among Us was to OTT now.
