The Turn of the Screw was the third story of the eighth season of Big Finish Productions' Short Trips series. It features the Eighth Doctor and UNIT.

Publisher's summary

Charlie Sato has been chasing a bit of alien junk from England to Puerto Rico. He's finally got his hands on it - but now he's got to get it safely off the island. The aliens he stole it from want it back, and someone else has hired a group of thugs to get hold of it. And then there's the original owner - he might come looking too.

All this for a screwdriver? Someone, somewhere must want to unscrew some pretty important screws.
