If I remember well , "The Torchwood Tapes" is the name given to the extras in the Torchwood Outbreak boxset.

New Girl By Joseph LidsterThis absolutely deliciously evil. The slow building mystery of what was happening was really well done as it had me guessing till the end and made me dismiss the right answer and put me off the trail, and i think the really works in its favour. Tracy Ann Oberman and Gareth David-Llyod are on top form and the new team are very likeable . All around great 9/10.

My system is to disregard volume numbers etc and prefix releases with the date. So for me this will be 2017.01 Before the Fall. It's a system that works great for when specials are mixed in between regular releases. That sounds like a good system but I've just spent ages changing mine, I can't handle another switch just yet . After listening to 2 and a bit episodes I think I'll stick this as a special. I agree with mark687, it's good but not sure on how much mileage it would have as a series. Maybe one more boxset set around the time of Army of Ghosts / Doomsday. With a final bit from Yvonne - that would be great. There's an awful lot of alien's floating around Britain. No wonder we need so many different organisations, journalists, kids investigating Cheers Tony

I'm listening to Disc 2, 'Through the Ruins', and something is niggling at me. The character of Ziggy is very familiar, but I can't quite place the voice. Bless me, it's Simon Hickson, one half of 1980's Saturday morning comedy heroes Trev and Simon! Wonderful!

That was totally engrossing - I had to listen to all of it in basically one sitting because I couldn't wait to hear more of it - and I thought the performances and the pace of the story were both notably excellent. Also I thought the story was remarkably and very pleasingly coherent for having been the work of multiple outstanding authors. Bravo, and thanks for a very enjoyable afternoon!

I know Ianto has mentioned his flatmate before, but for the life of me cannot remember where. Can anyone help me? There's a mug of Ianto's coffee in it if you do*.
*There actually isn't.

I loved this. At first I was thinking it was going rather slow, but then it slapped me in the face and didn't stop. Tracey Ann Oberman was fantastic, as was Sophie Winkleman. I love these looks into previous Torchwood teams and I'm looking forward to more.

This is a terrific release. Yvonne Hartmen is briliantly written and perfectly played by Tracey-Ann Oberon. I hope she comes back for many more audios. I'm not an expert on the Torchwood television series by any means, but I assume her only appearance on television was in the Doctor Who Cyberman story from, what, 2006? To say that Big Finish have fleshed out her character into possibly the ultimate super-b*tch (can I say that? I mean it as a complement to the character) is a huge understatement. I'll be listening to this again soon, I think - anything to bridge the gap between now and March when the single disc stories begin again.

Through The Ruins By Jenny T. Colgan
The plot thickens. An action-packed instalment and the ending is quite intriguing, 8/10.

Well I enjoyed it especially the parody of a normal office setting but I do wish it had more Ianto.

Uprising by Matt Fitton
This one rounded up all the loose ends and ties them up into a deadly bow. Fun, tense, exciting and very well performed, This has to be one of my favourite Torchwood Releases so for. 9.5/10.
