Cadoc Point is the antepenultimate episode of the seventh Torchwood Big Finish season.
Released in January 2022 and written by David Llewellyn.
Starring Tom Price as Sgt Andy and guest stars Gareth Armstrong.
This is not the first Torchwood Big Finish release to have both Price and Armstrong as they were both in One Rule in 2015 which had Armstrong played Barry Jackson with Price making an uncredited cameo as Andy.
In Cadoc Point, Armstrong plays a different character in Merl Williams and unlike One Rule has him properly working with Price as Andy.
It is soon revealed that Merl is Andy's old art teacher when Andy was a boy.
Merl and Andy hadn't seen each since Andy was Merl's student and Andy wasn't sure that Merl even remembers him, not that unusual as teachers and students in general don't ever see each other again after leaving school.
Although Andy was upfront to Merl about their personal history together he did however come to Merl's place with a fake story about a broken car and asked to use his phone because his (Andy) mobile has a dead battery.
As revealed by Andy, Merl had been on the news sometime ago as a person of interest in the disappearance of three of his former pupils.
Merl ultimately stopped being a person of interest as nothing could be proven.
Andy's visit to Merl is about those disappearances and it has something to do with a place called Cadoc Point.
Cadoc Point was where Merl as a teacher took his students on field trips.
Amusing when it was revealed that Merl is short for Merlin and online Merl got teased on being a wizard which he has taken in good humour.
It is not without reason on learning that Merl was an art teacher as the subject of art plays to the core of this episode, how it relates to the said disappearances and how it comes to the fore of the present day at Cadoc Point.
Somehow the premise of Cadoc Point was not one I expected presented under the Torchwood banner but ultimately one I came to the grasp and this was quite a haunting story to listen to.
