Torchwood: Lost Souls

By: Joseph Lidster

Narrated by: Eve Myles, Freema Agyeman, Full Cast, Gareth David-Lloyd, John Barrowman

Following the tragic deaths of two of their colleagues, only Captain Jack Harkness, Gwen Cooper and Ianto Jones remain of Torchwood, protecting humanity against the unknown. Martha Jones, ex-time traveller and now working as a doctor for UNIT, has been called to CERN - the world’s largest particle physics laboratory in Geneva. They’re about to activate the Large Hadron Collider, designed to recreate conditions after the Big Bang and thus give an insight into what the Universe is made of. But so much could go wrong: it could open a gateway to a parallel dimension, or even create a black hole. Voices from the past are calling out to people from the LHC, and scientists have started to disappear. Where have they gone? What is lurking in the underground tunnel - and do the dead ever really stay dead? Based on the award-winning BBC Wales TV production Torchwood, Lost Souls is written by Joseph Lidster, and stars John Barrowman, Eve Myles, Gareth David-Lloyd and Freema Agyeman, with Lucy Montgomery, Stephen Critchlow and Mark Meadows. Also in this release is a bonus programme, Torchwood: All Access, going behind the scenes of the TV show. First broadcast on BBC Radio Wales, it features Russell T Davies and members of the TV series cast and crew.©2008 BBC Audiobooks Ltd; (P)2008 BBC Audiobooks Ltd

Lost Souls return to the radio, true to form

Lost Souls is a radio dramatization, featuring the cast of Torchwood and set between its second season and their appearance in season four of Doctor Who. Written by Joseph Lidster, who's written for the show on television, Lost Souls is a Torchwood tie-in to the Large Hadron Collider's initialization day.

While the story takes advantage of the full cast, I'm not sure it took advantage of the audio medium. Some scenes, especially the introduction of the cast, seem like they would have played better on the television screen.

It also seemed like the LHC tie-in was played too much; it seemed like the audience was being fed more technical background than they would have for something that didn't exist in the real world.

Despite those, though, Lost Souls was still an enjoyable story. I would have rated it at 4/5 starts...

...except the promised "Torchwood All-Access Bonus Feature" (see the cover art) is missing from here, so I'm docking the score to reflect that. Caveat emptor.

A great bridge between series 2 and children of earth a.k.a. series 3

Very cool to hear the BBC broadcast of torchwood that would dramatize on BBC radio :-) I recently got the whole series to torchwood the Lost files, because it's very hard to get on CD in America. I was super stoked that audible carried it in their library of radio TV broadcast shows . At the time when I was looking for that it was 2012 , and I had no idea that they had done several other broadcast shows on the radio that will crossovers and in between series tie-ins to seasons one through four . This one I particularly thoughtless awesome! Love how it Tizen also when the doctor who finale with David Tennant which also had Freema A. who plays Martha Jones on both Dr. who and torchwood and that she came in for this radiobroadcast which explains what happens after season two before season three and even what was going on after we last Zickley saw her on David Tennant's last episode of Dr. Who. The reason why Mansinthe much about the episode is hate spoilers which a lot of people say a lot about the episode and giveaway even the plot what happens how it ends etc. I didn't want to do that I just wanted to say to the people who actually watch the show this is something worth checking out and it's only $3.95

Captain Jack Harkness Loves Ianto but John Barrowman is married...is that Cheating?

Fast paced sci-fi although the science isn't accurate the entertainment is perfection. Torchwood Lives! Five star recommendation.

Torchwood is alive and well!

We all know the characters if you've watched Torcheood, to hear the audio drama is just wonderful, especially these short stories, perfect on a lunch break. I can see the characters, the places, and in a way, feels like I'm caught up in the moment, as if I'm really there with them all.

brilliant

A treat to get an episode - style performance to help wrap up where the show left off. But the topic is bittersweet, since Owen and Tosh are dead.
