When a Cardiff hospital is inundated with patients that have fallen into coma-like trances, Torchwood move in to investigate. They find that the trances were triggered by phone calls, all of which were made from a number that hadn't been active for over 30 years. Determined to find out who's been calling the unfortunate victims, Jack rings the mysterious number - two, zero, five, nine - nothing. It's a dead line. Until it calls Jack back, he answers - and falls into a deep trance... With the help of one of Jack's old girlfriends, eminent neuroscientist Stella Courtney, the team have to race against time to find the source of the 'infection' and save the patients... Written specially for BBC Radio by Phil Ford, The Dead Line stars John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness, Eve Myles as Gwen Cooper and Gareth David-Lloyd as Ianto Jones.

      Based on the BBC television series, THE DEAD LINE has the Torchwood team investigating an epidemic of people suffering trance-like comas triggered by a mysterious phone call. When team leader Captain Jack Harkness (played by John Barrowman) answers a call, his immortality is called into question when he also falls into a trance. As with most BBC Radio One programs, high production values and top-notch acting help bring the listener into the intensity of the story. Listeners will feel they're alongside Gwen and Ianto (played by Eve Myles and Gareth David-Lloyd). While the story itself is a rehash of the plots of various horror films, the entire listening experience is rendered all the more vibrant by the amazing engineering behind the series. S.E.S.
