Got a good deal on a used copy of The Sin Eaters.
Being a CD I didn't have to worry about it being sticky

In case you don't know (I didn't) it's an audio book read by Ianto. And he really has the other characters down pat. I can't promise it's a real American accent for Jack - I know it's not - but he has his intonation at least. You can also tell whether he is speaking as Ianto or Gwen, and his Rhys is immediately identifiable.

I haven't collected the audiobooks before - only being interested in picking up the radio dramas (radio drama is where each actor speaks a part, an audio book is where someone narrates). But this was so yummy, I'll look out for other cheap ones in future.

My only issue was that there was no way to tell which disc to start with. I ended up listening to about 3 mins of disc 2 before I realised even Torchwood wouldn't have started with that much assumed back-story!

Just as an aside - I spoke to a Cardiff boy on the phone when I was booking my tickets to La Cage Aux Folles. He's seen Barrowman walking around Cardiff when he's been home. I was all trying not to be all fangurl...! Apparently, he's really approachable (well, no real surprise there) and always happy to have photos taken/ sign autographs. I still fancy the Captain as opposed to the actor, but what a sweetheart. I think I'll have to put a card in at the stage door (as I did with Mark Gatiss)
