Whenever Ianto Jones has a tough day at work, he has somewhere he can hide. And, for Ianto Jones, it's always a tough day at work.

His girlfriend is dead, his colleagues don't trust him, and his boss... his boss is something else. With no friends in the world, and his life in danger every day, is it any wonder that at night, Ianto Jones goes to the pub?

Ianto's local becomes somewhere where he feels safe. Safe from his demons, safe from his life, safe from Torchwood. Until one evening, Captain Jack Harkness walks into a bar....

“Joe Lidster came up with the idea,” producer James Goss said of the new story.

“He'd spotted that something interesting happens midway through Series 1 of Torchwood on television, and he really wanted to investigate it. I'm afraid to say I just went, 'Yes, yes yes. But John and Gareth together? Imagine how happy the fans will be!'

“Both the actors fell on the script, and director Scott Handcock's got some great performances out of it.”

The drama will be available for download in early July.
