When most fans are pressed to name their three favorite Torchwood characters, the list usually contains some order of Capt. Jack Harkness, Gwen, and Ianto. And while Jack and Gwen made it out of Miracle Day unscathed and available for a series 5 should RTD make it happen, (minor Children of Earth spoiler…but come on. It’s 2015; watch it already!) Ianto’s demise sort of rules out a future televised encore.

However, Big Finish has been able to do what television cannot (without a serious dose of timey-wimey that is): bring Ianto back! They’ve announced that Gareth David-Lloyd will be reprising the role of Ianto in October’s release, Torchwood: Fall to Earth!

Here’s a brief look at what to expect in Ianto’s return:

“The SkyPuncher is the first private spaceflight. But Ephraim Salt’s visionary project has gone horribly wrong – the ship is falling out of the sky and there seems no way to stop it. Ianto Jones thought the flight would be sabotaged. The only problem is… he’s on board.”

The audio releases in October but is available for preorder now. While I understand the narrative reasons for disposing of Ianto in Children of Earth, the following series seemed a little poorer for lack of David-Lloyd’s character. That being said, you can count me in as anxiously awaiting this release!

What about you, dear readers? Are you excited to see Ianto return? Is this release on your radar? Or do you think Ianto should have stayed dead? Let us know below!
