BBC Radio 4's long-running Afternoon Play series is venturing into sci-fi and the supernatural this week as the network presents three specially commissioned Torchwood radio productions.
The three episodes ("Asylum," Golden Age" and "The Dead Line") are considered canon and bring the series' back story up-to-date before the international premiere of the Doctor Who spinoff's third-season miniseries event, "Children of Earth."
The radio shows are written by Torchwood veterans Phil Ford, Anita Sullivan and James Goss. Starring series regulars John Barrowman, Eve Myles and Gareth David-Lloyd, the 45-minute plays will air at the standard Afternoon Play slot of 2.15 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Once transmitted, fans can catch up with the episodes on the BBC iPlayer around the world for seven days before they become available for purchase on iTunes and other services.
