Absent Friends (unreleased audio story)

✅

Absent Friends was the planned fiftieth story in the Torchwood audio series from Big Finish Productions. It was written by James Goss and had already been fully recorded, but was pulled before release following allegations about John Barrowman's sexual misconduct on the set of Doctor Who.

This release would have brought the Tenth Doctor into the Torchwood series directly, playing off the Torchwood Institute's original aim, to capture and contain the Doctor, as established in series 2 of Doctor Who.

The cancelled story was originally slated for release in May 2021.
