SkyPoint was an unproduced Torchwood television story written by Phil Ford. The story was intended as an episode in series 2, before being replaced by Something Borrowed [+]Loading...["Something Borrowed (TV story)"], another story pitched by Ford. The episode would have followed a Torchwood investigation into a series of disappearances at an apartment block. The episode remained unproduced as lead writer Chris Chibnall disliked the apartment setting. The story was later adapted into a novel. It was featured on "The Lost Episodes" article of TM 24.[1]

Plot outline

After a series of disappearances at SkyPoint, Cardiff's new and "most desirable" apartment block, Torchwood Three begin an undercover investigation.

Notes

  • Earlier drafts of the story depicted a "run-down" apartment, rather than a new one.[1]
  • Regarding the story's novel adaption, Ford stated: "When I got approached to write one of the novels, I thought, I always did like that idea! It's great when there's an opportunity to use an idea that's been in the bottom drawer."[1]
