Return to the dark streets of Torchwood Soho next year as the team faces Ascension
Two-time Tony nominee Samuel Barnett is back as Torchwood One’s Norton Folgate in a six-part political thriller from Big Finish written by James Goss. Also returning for Torchwood Soho: Ascension are Tom Price (Andy Davidson), Dervla Kirwan (Lizbeth Hayhoe), Joe Shire (Gideon Lyme) and Class star Greg Austin as the devious government agent Armitage.
Torchwood producer James Goss said: “We always have such a fun time in the studio on these. Getting to spend time with Sam, Tom and Joe is always a treat – there’s a real company feel.
“They’re sometimes not easy scripts to say – a 1950s-themed sci-fi tongue-twisters – but when you’ve got Dervla Kirwan attacking the lines with such vigour and joy, it’s a real delight. It’s the story of how one tiny miscommunication goes global with truly terrible consequences.”

Torchwood Soho: Ascension
Is the end of the world really nigh? A number of groups believe so – and what’s odder, they’re all vanishing.
Have they really gone to heaven, or is something far worse happening? It’s Torchwood. Obviously something far worse is happening.
