Torchwood Committee Arc Guide

As of July 2019, there are now more than sixty hours of Big Finish Torchwood content. For fans like myself, this is an utter treat. It is also, however, a lot to go through.

To make things easier, the following are the releases I would consider vital to a complete understanding of the Committee arc, the main storyline of the range. Note that many stories do feature the Committee in some capacity; these are just the ones that advance the storyline significantly.

This is not a review or recommendation list (many of my favorites are not on it!), but merely what I’d consider to be necessary to get a full picture. Reviews of individual stories will hopefully be written in due time.

  • The Conspiracy (Monthly Range 1.1): An introduction to who the Commitee are, with events that will be frequently referenced throughout the arc.
  • Forgotten Lives (Monthly Range 1.3): Provides further worldbuilding on the Committee and establishes their modus operandi.
  • Uncanny Valley (Monthly Range 1.5): Follow-up to The Conspiracy.
  • The Victorian Age (Monthly Range 2.1): Provides important setup for The Torchwood Archive.
  • Zone 10 (Monthly Range 2.2): More important setup for The Torchwood Archive and crucial reveals about the Committee’s history with Earth.
  • Ghost Mission (Monthly Range 2.3): Introduces key character Norton Folgate.
  • The Torchwood Archive (Tenth Anniversary Special): First climax to the Committee arc, weaving together strands from preceding monthly audios and setting up plot and characters that feature in Aliens Among Us and God Among Us.
  • Torchwood: Outbreak: Further development of Norton Folgate.
  • Aliens Among Us 1: First set of Big Finish’s “series 5” continuation of Torchwood, concerning the Sorvix occupation of Earth.
  • Aliens Among Us 2: Continuation of Aliens Among Us.
  • Aliens Among Us 3: Conclusion to Aliens Among Us, setting up the arrival of God.
  • Goodbye, Piccadilly (Monthly Range 4.4): Sequel to Ghost Mission.
  • God Among Us 1: Follow-up to Aliens Among Us, concerning the arrival of the Sorvix God on Earth.
  • God Among Us 2: Introduction of Committee arc elements into the ongoing God Among Us narrative, including Norton Folgate.
  • God Among Us 3: Conclusion to God Among Us and the Committee arc (or so it seems).
