Summary

When PC Andy Davidson arrests a young girl for shoplifting, he thinks it's going to be a routine case. That is, until he sees that she is carrying a gun. The girl is soaking wet, covered in mud, and the weapon is like nothing he's ever seen before. He knows that this is a case for Torchwood....

The team discovers that the girl is called Freda, but can find out nothing else. Yet when she speaks, it's a strange mix of English and Icelandic, but with a Cardiff accent. While Jack and Ianto check out the girl's weapon and her blood sample at the Hub, Gwen and PC Andy take Freda to a safe house.

But when Jack calls with the results - and Freda goes on the run - PC Andy finds his world turning upside down.

Written specially for BBC Radio by Anita Sullivan, Asylum stars John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness, Eve Myles as Gwen Cooper, Gareth David-Lloyd as Ianto Jones and Tom Price as PC Andy Davidson. Contains adult themes and language.

Torchwood at its best.

Loved the storyline.
This story explored a very human attitude that is so relevant in today's society.

In my own, very humble opinion, this is one of the best dramatisations from Torchwood since it left our screens!
I have enjoyed listening to this story on many occasions since I purchased it.

Peak Torchwood

Torchwood stories work best when it’s not an alien invasion or escaped criminal or something like that but when it’s just something otherworldly and this surprisingly uplifting episode that highlights Andy’s contributions to the team and his frustration with Gwen is really great!
