A slightly misleading title, perhaps. As we all know, Torchwood: Children Of Earth airs on BBC One across five nights next week, but there are three brand new stories hitting the airwaves this week.

Over the next three days, Radio 4 is airing a series of special Torchwood audio plays - all voiced by the cast themselves.

The first episode is called 'Asylum':



The episode sees the Torchwood trio - Jack, Gwen and Ianto - trying to get to know a mysterious girl who arrives, out of the blue, in Cardiff brandishing a futuristic-looking weapon.

PC Andy fans will be pleased to hear that he plays a major part in this story, getting more involved with the activities of the team than ever before. But will Jack get out the retcon once the job is finished? (FYI: PC Andy is absent from the first episode of Chidlren Of Earth but is back from episode two onwards).

Torchwood: Asylum airs on Radio 4 at 2.15pm today and will be available on-demand through iPlayer thereafter.
