The Office of Never Was is the penultimate episode of the third Torchwood Big Finish season.
Starring Gareth David-Lloyd as Ianto.
Released in July 2017, written by James Goss and directed by Scott Handcock.
Before listening to this I had read from TARDIS Wiki that Handcock had described this episode as Ianto Jones being Emma Peel from the Avengers episode The Joker.
(As a point of fact, I should mentioned as he wasn't mentioned here, that The Joker itself is a remake of the earlier Cathy Gale episode Don't Look Behind You).
GIven the premise from The Avengers episode, The Office of Never Was has Ianto investigating on his own an empty office block.
He was initially alone until he meets a girl who can't remember her own name.
The unnamed girl was played by Bethan Rose Young and this character on The Avengers: The Joker character Ola played by Sally Nesbitt and before that in Don't Look Behind You, an unnamed girl (just like her counterpart in The Office of Never Was) played by Janine Gray.
Quite enthralling and very suspenseful Ianto investigating this building all of which leads him to meet a man called Oliver.
Oliver is played by David Shields and this character is based on The Joker character Prendergast played by Peter Jeffrey and before that in Don't Look Behind, an unnamed man played by Maurice Good.
The climax between Ianto and Oliver has the revelation of what led to all this and fascinating hearing this played out.
Very haunting the resolution decided by Ianto that brings this mystery to the close.
Also very creepy during this episode is the voice in the lift!
On listening to the said interviews interesting to learn how this episode came about after fulfilling the request of Torchwood doing its own version of the said Avengers narrative.
