RealWorld

A series of Torchwood audio dramas was published by Big Finish Productions beginning in 2015. It was the first series to use Big Finish's expanded license to feature elements from the 2005 era of Doctor Who.

Monthly Range

Big Finish's first Torchwood stories were monthly releases. Initially, the stories were arranged into numbered series, but the numbering was dropped after series 2 to avoid confusion with Aliens Among Us, the audio fifth season, which took place after the events of the TV show.

Series 1

Main article: Series 1 (BFTW)

On 3 May 2015, a run of six stories was announced, to be released monthly from September 2015 till February 2016.[1] The main arc of the first series was fighting the Committee, although some of the stories, like More Than This, were not related to it.

# Title Author Featuring Released
1 The Conspiracy David Llewellyn Jack September 2015
2 Fall to Earth James Goss Ianto October 2015

4 One Rule Joseph Lidster Yvonne Hartman December 2015
5 Uncanny Valley David Llewellyn Jack January 2016
6 More Than This Guy Adams Gwen, Andy February 2016

Series 2

Main article: Series 2 (BFTW)

Shortly after the first story, The Conspiracy was released in September 2015, Big Finish announced what was termed "Series 2", further six stories to be released monthly starting in March 2016, immediately after the first six.[2] The Committee arc continued into the second series.

# Title Author Featuring Released
7 The Victorian Age AK Benedict Jack, Queen Victoria March 2016
8 Zone 10 David Llewellyn Tosh April 2016
9 Ghost Mission James Goss Andy, Norton Folgate May 2016
10 Moving Target Guy Adams Suzie June 2016
11 Broken Joseph Lidster Jack, Ianto July 2016
12 Made You Look Guy Adams Gwen, Rhys August 2016

Stories 13–18

Main article: Series 3 (BFTW)

Soon after the second series was completed in August 2016, Big Finish announced on 7 September that the range would continue with six more stories.[3] However, this time they were not to follow Series 2 immediately, due to several special releases in between, including the 10th anniversary special The Torchwood Archive, which largely closed the Committee arc.

Around this time, Big Finish stopped marketing the range using six-story series. In particular, the term "Series 3" was not actually used. Although six-story subscriptions and bundles remain available, they are described as "stories 13-18" rather than "Series 3".

Torchwood One

Main article: Torchwood One (audio series)‎

Starting with 19 January 2017, Big Finish started releasing audio stories focused on Torchwood One before the Battle of Canary Wharf. The stories featured Yvonne Hartman and Ianto Jones.

Torchwood: The Story Continues

Main article: Torchwood: The Story Continues

Starting on 10 August 2017, Big Finish started what was later marketed as Torchwood: The Story Continues: storylines following Torchwood's fourth television series.

The first of those series was Aliens Among Us, which introduced several new members to the Torchwood Three team. It also introduced the Sorvix, and focused heavily on their occupation of Cardiff and the reactivation of the Cardiff Space-Time Rift. After the series conclusion, God Among Us followed, further developing the new team's dynamics and investigations.
