TORCHWOOD: LOST SOULS

Familiar characters and voices from the “Torchwood” television show take listeners on a typical adventure, set between the end of Series Two and the "Children of Earth" miniseries. Jack, Gwen, Ianto, and Martha visit CERN, where they investigate the Large Hadron Collider—and aliens from another dimension. Eve Myles, Gareth David-Lloyd, Freema Agyeman, John Barrowman, and the rest of the cast throw themselves enthusiastically into the radio drama. The trademark humor is here—“Everything we've seen . . . the wonder of the universe, and we're going to die in a tunnel. In SWITZERLAND." And great sound effects—riding bicycles in said cold, damp, echoey tunnel; computers beeping; alien gadgets whirring—enhance this tight, brisk, entertaining audio episode. What sounds like a TV special, including interviews with series creator Russell T. Davies, is tacked on at the end. J.M.D. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2009]
