EDIT
Captain Jack is finally dying, and it's time for his oldest friend to visit his deathbed. King John has come to tell him a story. The story of the life he should have had.
It's the story of Alexander the Great, sinking ships, falling empires, robot dinosaurs, and alien invasions. It's a story of love, royal weddings, murder, mass murder, genocide, and very tight trousers.
It's the story of the life of Captain John and it's the story of Torchwood. Be careful what you wish for.
Torchwood contains adult material and may not be suitable for younger listeners

Actually I presumed it was a box set, a thematic follow up to the Lives of Captain Jack release.
Unless someone knows for sure, guess we'll just have to wait for the official announcement.

It's very clear on the podcast that it refers to the monthly Torchwood range. and this had already been hinted at when titles 19-24 were first put up for pre-order.

This sounds great. The best thing about BF getting new series to adapt is that they get a whole new set of 'firsts'.

I did do a double take when I first heard this in the podcast; however whether it be a boxset or just a single release I can't wait to hear Barrowman and Marsters bounce off each other again.  |

I think that Spike was even a better.... Also, Spike was the thing that got me threw the dark ages known as Riley...  .
{Spoiler}
Boyfriend to Buffy or whatever you consider there relationship to be, It did get a bit weird.

Marsters is spelled incorrectly for a start. Interesting that it's all established cast members, no new characters.

From the article: "The Death of Captain Jack is just naughty!” producer James Goss tells us. “It was a joy to get James Marsters back in, and, once again, Captain John romps through Torchwood like a demented clown. David Llewellyn has given us a peek into a world we really shouldn't see – one where John steals Jack's timeline and creates havoc. “If you've ever wondered what Torchwood would be like with Captain John at the helm, wonder no more. Nothing from the world of Torchwood emerges unspoiled – and that includes Queen Victoria, and Ianto's dress sense!" www.bigfinish.com/news/v/captain-john-is-back-in-torchwoodAs for characters changing, shades of Adam. My theory: {Spoiler}
Jack in this story knows things aren't right, and that's the reveal at the end. That or the events of the story are all in John's head, as punishment for what he tried to do. |

OP edited with all the details.
Surprising how many established characters are in there.

Wow. That's quite the cast list. As if I already wasn't excited enough for this one!

I almost forgot to say, Norton Folgate's back! Probably the best character Big Finish's introduced to Torchwood (although I reckon Colchester could take that title with more appearances).
