Producer James Goss said: "Ianto finds his old friend Tommy is still alive and harbouring a deadly secret. And there's a Cyberman in it. It's such a great way to go out. Joe Lidster pitched the idea of Fare Well a couple of years ago and I instantly went 'how clever!'
"We had to end on a Ianto story, as Ianto is the heart of Torchwood. And we had to end on a Cyberman story, as the Cybermen cast a long shadow over Torchwood. And and and, it makes sense to end on a story about Ianto and his friend Tommy, as Tim Bentinck's Tommy represents all that is good about the Big Finish Torchwood range - a character created for it by Joe Lidster, who was never actually in the TV show but feels as though he was all along.
"Tommy's a massive fan favourite, and it's kind of insane that Joe's developed this incredible backstory for Ianto from a stray detail or two on TV. It's the perfect way to say, this is what Big Finish Torchwood is, this is what we did, and weren't we grand?
"And, as it was the last Torchwood, we had to record it in Wales - in our gorgeous Newport studio, a place that’s full of so many happy memories. And also the only recording studio in the UK above a scaffolding warehouse. No soundproofing in the world can stand up to two dozen scaffolding poles falling over in the middle of a take. Again, that's Torchwood for you. Utter chaos in Wales."
Director Scott Handcock added: "Originally conceived as a bookend to 100 releases, rather than the ending it's become, Fare Well is Torchwood in its purest form. It pays tribute to the core of the television series while embracing so much of the audio range, and Joseph Lidster does an amazing job. I remember Joe getting commissioned for Torchwood almost 20 years ago - it was his first ever TV script - and it’s a delight to see how much he adores the whole series. It's dark, it's bizarre, it's human, and now it's all over..."
