The Torchwood Team are expecting a routine case, until they discover the suspect carrying an unknown weapon. When PC Andy Davidson arrests a young girl for shoplifting, he thinks it's going to be a routine case. Until he sees that she is carrying a gun. The girl is soaking wet, covered in mud, and the weapon is like nothing he's ever seen before. He knows that this is a case for Torchwood...

The team discovers that the girl is called Freda, but can find out nothing else. Yet when she speaks, it’s a strange mix of English and Icelandic, but with a Cardiff accent.

While Jack and Ianto check out the girl's weapon and her blood sample at the Hub, Gwen and PC Andy take Freda to a safe house. But when Jack calls with the results – and Freda goes on the run – PC Andy finds his world turning upside down.

Written specially for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio by Anita Sullivan, Asylum stars John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness, Eve Myles as Gwen Cooper, Gareth David-Lloyd as Ianto Jones and Tom Price as PC Andy Davidson.

He's even more surprised to find that its members, including his old flame the Duchess, haven't aged a day. What is the secret of their eternal youth, and how is it linked to the deadly energy field? The team must find out – and they haven’t a moment to lose, for all the time the field is expanding...

Another terrifying adventure surrounded by mystery. Read by John Barrowman, Eve Myles and Gareth David-Lloyd.

When a Cardiff hospital is inundated with patients that have fallen into coma-like trances, Torchwood move in to investigate. They find that the trances were triggered by phone calls, which were made from a number that hadn’t been active for over 30 years. Determined to find out who's been calling the unfortunate victims, Jack rings the mysterious number – it’s a dead line. Until it calls Jack back, he answers – and falls into a deep trance...

With the help of one of Jack's old girlfriends, eminent neuroscientist Stella Courtney, the team have to race against time to find the source of the 'infection' and save the patients...

Written specially for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio by Phil Ford, The Dead Line stars John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness, Eve Myles as Gwen Cooper and Gareth David-Lloyd as Ianto Jones.
