BIG BANG DAY
Afternoon Play – Torchwood: Lost Souls
Wednesday 10 September
2.15-3.00pm BBC RADIO 4
The Torchwood Institute was founded by Queen Victoria in 1879 to protect the British Empire against the threat of alien invasion. By 2008, all that remains of the organisation is a small team based in Cardiff. And now, following the tragic deaths of two of their colleagues, the remaining three – Captain Jack Harkness, Gwen Cooper and Ianto Jones – stand alone to protect the human race against another unknown force from the darkness.
Martha Jones, ex-time traveller, is working as a doctor for a UNIT task force at CERN in Geneva, home of the world's largest particle physics laboratory. They're about to activate the Large Hadron Collider, a huge particle accelerator which has been built deep underground in a 27 km tunnel beneath Switzerland and France. Once activated, two beams of protons will be fired at each other, recreating conditions a billionth of a second after the Big Bang, and potentially allowing the human race a greater insight into the stuff of which the Universe is made. But so much could go wrong – it could open a gateway to a parallel dimension, or create a black hole – and now something strange is happening. Scientists are hearing voices from the past and suffering strange symptoms...
Lost Souls by Joseph Lidster stars John Barrowman, Eve Myles, Gareth David-Lloyd and Freema Agyeman, and there is a special appearance by Lucy Montgomery.
