A Postcard from Mr Colchester: A Postcard from Mr Colchester is a special release from September 2022. This has Paul Clayton delivering a one hander as Mr Colchester. It has Mr Colchester recording a message as he gives his assessment on the state of Earth and it is not a very good assessment. This quite a grim little tale delivered by Mr Colchester that is very haunting and creepy from his said assessment of Earth and all the while giving the reminder the purpose of Torchwood. After all that is how the world keeps on going and this is an enjoyable reminder of that.

Launch Date: Launch Date is the fifth episode of the ninth Torchwood Big Finish season. Starring Gareth David-Lloyd as Ianto. Released in April 2023 and written by Aaron Lamont. This mostly centres on Geraint who has a dead end job and a life that he is not happy with. So Geraint asked his friend for help and that friend's name is Ianto Jones. The episode title is therefore a variation on lunch date as Ianto helps Geraint getting a girlfriend called Chrissie with this presented as a rom com style episode. However Ianto has motives to helping Geraint and interesting how biscuits played into proceedings here. It relates to Geraint's job as a cleaner at a place where the word Launch in the episode title is of significance. Quite a fun adventure presented with a rom com premise with Ianto having a limited role here as it presented mostly Geraint and Chrissie as they started dating, albeit dating that was done with manipulation by Ianto.

Dog Hop: Dog Hop is the seventh episode of the ninth Torchwood season. Starring Tom Price as Andy Davidson. Released in September 2023 and written by Lauren Mooney and Stewart Pringle. Andy stumbled in a case about the brains of people being said to be implanted in dogs as part of an experiment. This episode completely baffled me and I could not get it to gel with me at all. Basically I could not make heads or tails (perhaps pun unconsciously intended) of this episode and I could not feel any resolution was achieved at all. Listen to it twice but I am not in any of the wiser of a story that felt very frustrating.
