Sigil is the sixth episode of the ninth Torchwood Big Finish season. Starring Murray Melvin as Bilis Manger. Sadly this would proved to be Murray's swansong as Bilis in Torchwood as he died on April 14 2023 and was released on what would have been his 91st birthday on August 10. Written by Ash Darby. The definition of a sigil that I can be find is this: "an inscribed or painted symbol considered to have magical power" Sigil tells the story of Sam as in Samantha who been haunted by the said sigil and has drawn patterns of it since she was a child. Then all of sudden due to a chance sighting sees a statue of the sigil at Bilis' shop and hence set in motion events of this episode. It is amusing that Sam called Bilis, Bill, something Bilis does not quite appreciate. Fascinating how things unfolded including what happened to Bilis' shop along the way and leading to the denouement and a certain revelation made about Sam. While no one knew at the time that Sigil would proved to be Melvin's last as Bilis on Torchwood the ending certainly providing an unintentional fitting end for him.
