OTHER WORLDS
Cardiff’s hungriest copper tries out an addictive new speed-dating app in the latest Torchwood audio adventure.
TORCHWOOD
The Thirst Trap by Tom Price starring Tom Price as Sgt Andy Davidson
Andy Davidson finds himself in a repetitive but high-stakes dating cycle.
Who is he?
Gwen Cooper’s former partner at South Wales Police, Andy assists Torchwood as a sort of second stringer. He likes Star Trek, Carry On films, PlayStation, meat pasties, lasagna and Hawaiian pizza. Dinosaurs, not so much.
First appearance?
Torchwood: Everything Changes (2006). PC Andy (played by Tom Price) was on duty with Gwen (Eve Myles) at the scene of John Tucker’s murder when the Torchwood Three team arrived to experiment on the body with the resurrection gauntlet. At first he thought they were DNA specialists, but he later discovered Torchwood’s true nature and began to help out with their investigations. He was promoted to sergeant following the 456 incident (Children of Earth, 2009) and became a more frequent Torchwood collaborator after Gwen, Captain Jack (John Barrowman) and Mr Colchester (Paul Clayton) re-established the Cardiff team in 2017 (Aliens Among Us).
