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. 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, who had been working with Gardner and former Big Finish producer Gary Russell to bring the show to the company since 2013.
