Sonny (audio story)
Sonny was the fifty-ninth story in the Torchwood - Monthly Range by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Lizzie Hopley.
Publisher's summary
Sonny is the answer to elderly care. Artificially intelligent robot carers placed in old peoples' homes that mimic the behaviour of their owners.
Only there are rumours that something is wrong with the Sonny units. That they're too clever. That they are learning too much. Rhys sends his mother into a home to find out. But what will it cost him?
Plot
Because Gwen is suspicious of the new Sonny robots at Gladewater Retirement Home, Rhys has Brenda enter the home as a patient to investigate and make sure that they are not dangerous before they are rolled out worldwide. She is uncomfortable around Sonny and irritated by his attentiveness, leading her to lock him in a cupboard until Prudeep convinces her to give him a chance.
