<\/div>\n

Wicked! Sophie Aldred is returning to the world of Doctor Who <\/em>as former Seventh Doctor companion, Ace — but this time, in Big Finish’s Torchwood<\/em> spin-off range!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due for release in November 2021, this full cast audio drama features the return of Paul Clayton (Planet of the Ood<\/em>) as Torchwood Three\u2019s Mr Colchester (as previously heard in Aliens Among Us<\/em> and God Among Us<\/em>) alongside Sophie Aldred as Dorothy McShane, in a thrilling tale of hotel lunches, cryptic crossword puzzles and a world in need of saving once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the synopsis:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first it was lights in the sky. Then the country started falling apart. Torchwood has come to help. So has A Charitable Earth. But there\u2019s a problem.<\/p>

Mr Colchester and Ms McShane find themselves trapped in a quarantine hotel in the middle of an alien invasion.<\/p>

Can they save the world without leaving their rooms?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Writer James Goss said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAce meets Torchwood! The grumpy Mr Colchester must work out what to make of Dorothy McShane, and gets her totally wrong.<\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s a conspiracy thriller set in a hotel, and it was an absolute joy to put Sophie Aldred against Paul Clayton. It\u2019s great to see the two of them square up against each other.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Torchwood: The Red List<\/em> is now available to pre-order<\/a> on CD at \u00a310.99 or on download from Big Finish.<\/p>\n
