Product Description

Product Description
The Torchwood team is involved in a dangerous race against time in this exclusive story read by Burn Gorman outside the government, beyond the police, fighting for the future on behalf of the human race. The 21st century is when everything changes and Torchwood is ready. Led by the mysterious and enigmatic Captain Jack Harkness, Torchwood delves into the unknown and fights the impossible...Across Cardiff, ordinary people are behaving in odd ways: saying hello to complete strangers, and going out of their way to greet one another.Torchwood discovers that an alien communications field is gathering strength in the area. The team must find the device responsible and shut it off - before civil unrest engulfs the whole city. Burn Gorman, who plays Owen in the hit BBC TV series created by Russell T Davies, reads this exclusive audio story by Dan Abnett. The cover photograph shows John Barrowman as Captain Jack, Eve Myles as Gwen, Burn Gorman as Owen, Naoko Mori as Toshiko, and Gareth David-Lloyd as Ianto. This story takes place during the second series of Torchwood. This book contains adult themes and language.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good enough for me, 15 Feb 2008
By A. Timson (Livonia, MI United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Everyone Says Hello is a pretty good Torchwood story with an interesting presentation.

Burn Gorman does a good job bringing most of the characters to life; the exception being Captain Jack Harkness, who proved beyond Gorman; I'm not sure if it was just the accent, or something else. But he did a pretty good job bringing Dan Abnett's story to life otherwise.

This isn't Abnett's first Torchwood story, and he proved here again that he has a good grasp of the show's characters. The story fell victim to the same tendency towards the grandiose that some of the more recent Torchwood stories on-screen have, but as long as the story is well-executed that's not a problem. And I certainly think that the story was well-executed.

While a new Torchwood novel would've been my preference over a new audiobook, I still enjoyed Everyone Says Hello. And that's good enough for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Burn Gorman's Performance is Outstanding!, 2 April 2008
By ANTHONY A. ZEHETNER (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Burn Gorman is outstanding in this exclusive audio book from Torchwood series two. He doesn't narrate the story but actually PEFORMS it with all of the mannersisms, inflectures and vocal energy he would use if he were performing this for TV or the stage. It's obvious that he has read the book himself before the recording (not all Torchwood audio plays can make that claim!) and his enthusiasm makes the story more engaging and maintains interest.

Dan Abnett's script is entirely suited to the realm of audio. It's more accessible than the other Torchwood stories available and begins on a lazy summer's day. Gone is the need for knowledge of the show's underlying plotlines and continuity. It's all in with fun interplay between characters and strange takes on life's ordinariness. How many people will listen to this on the bus or whilst standing in a queue and feel for the protagonist's emotions? If "Everyone Says Hello" unfolded on the printed page it would lose its impact and enjoyment.

Its sister volume, "Hidden", the other exclusive Torchwood audiobook released at the same time, fares less well. Despite a polished reading by Naoko Mori (although she enunciates her "g"'s softly, such that the "g" in "aged" is pronounced like the second "g" in "garage" instead of the first!), Hidden seems to have been a Torchwood novel simply translated to CD.

"Everyone Says Hello" doesn't have the plot to sustain three CDs like the first run of Torchwood audios, though fills the two discs admirably. Gorman does a first rate job in breathing life into the most incidental of characters and after a million different ways of saying the word "hello" he still finds ways of making it refreshing and never staid (though he must be sick of the word by the end of the CDs!)

Burn Gorman expresses talents here that are at times overshadowed by the moody, self-absorbed, and at times unlikable, Owen he portrays on TV (and occasionally obnoxious, dour stereotypes on other shows like Marple). These CDs showcase potential that is hopefully capitalised on the show in the future, makes for more interesting viewing and would be more enjoyable to play.

Ianto is in series one form in "Everyone Says Hello" with his role reduced to a cameo. All we need now is an Ianto-centred Torchwood narration by Gareth David-Lloyd to complete the set. Currently Burn Gorman, followed by Eve Myles, leads the way in strong audio presentation.

Watch out for the "Have you seen the light?" beer pun on disk two!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 18 Feb 2009
Burn Gorman has a voice that's full of character and is perfect for audio readings, though he didn't quite capture Jack Harkness' accent. But his voice was engaging and kept you listening.
