The latest audio drama in the popular Torchwood series sees the Tony-nominated Samuel Barnett reprise the role of Norton Folgate, the trustworthy (well, sometimes...) agent of the Earth-defending institute, who has a case to crack in 1950s London. 

What starts out as an ordinary day in the offices of Matthews & Small takes a terrifying twist when the employees hear screaming from upstairs. Everyone's Dead on Floor 3, or so it seems, and something’s going wrong with time. 

Luckily for some, Norton Folgate is here... 

Torchwood: Everyone's Dead on Floor 3, written by James Goss from a story by Alfie Shaw, is now available to own for just £8.99 (download to own), exclusively here.  

1954, an ordinary morning at Matthews and Small, until the screaming starts. Racing upstairs, they find everyone's dead on floor three. 

What was the mysterious firm upstairs? Can the prompt arrival of an investigator from Torchwood find a traitor? 

Everyone's Dead on Floor 3 guest stars Julian Bleach, who Doctor Who fans will know as Davros as well as for his appearance in Torchwood TV episode From Out of the Rain and as The Sarah Jane Adventures’ Nightmare Man. Here, he plays Robert Matthews, the pompous head of Matthews & Small. 

The cast also includes Aruhan Galieva (Doctor Who: Can You Hear Me?, Black Mirror) as long-suffering secretary Angela Carr, Cassius Hackforth (Doctor Who: Lux) as Robert’s nephew Timothy Small, and Alistair Toovey (Emmerdale) as cynical office lothario William Ledbury. 

Lead actor Samuel Barnett, who’s played Norton Folgate in many audio adventures since 2016, said: “This is set in the 1950s, which is Norton’s real time period, rather than any of the time-travelling type stuff that he does. He is trying to stop a time bomb going off in a building. But he’s been a very naughty boy! As usual with Norton, is he good? Is he bad? We love that he’s slightly bad, but we ultimately want him to be good.” 

Praise for recent Torchwood releases: 

“The Flawless Man is spooky, gripping, and works just as well as a standalone horror story as it does another entry in the much-loved Torchwood universe.”
Who Review 

“[Salvage is] a funny, scary, decidedly off-road experience that you won’t want to miss.”
Doctor Who Magazine 

“[Child Free is] glorious, and confident, and a rip-roaring ride from start to finish.”
Mass Movement
