Broken was the eleventh story in the Torchwood - Monthly Range by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Joseph Lidster and featured John Barrowman as Jack Harkness and Gareth David-Lloyd as Ianto Jones.

Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

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....
