Writing

In May 2015, Big Finish announced that they had been granted permission to produce audiobooks based on Torchwood as part of a licensing agreement between themselves and BBC Worldwide, allowing them to use characters and concepts from the revived series of Doctor Who (2005-present) and its spin-offs in future productions.[1] The company was formerly only permitted to use concepts from the series' original 1963–89 run and its self-titled 1996 TV film. The new Torchwood plays also received the blessing of Torchwood creator Russell T. Davies,[1] who had been working with Gardner and former Big Finish producer Gary Russell to bring the show to the company since 2013.[2]
