'''''Lost Souls''''' is an original [[BBC Radio 4]] audio play written by [[Joseph Lidster]]. It aired on [[10 September (releases)|10 September]] [[2008 (releases)|2008]] in the Afternoon Play slot as part of Radio 4's ''Big Bang Day''. It celebrated the switching on of [[CERN]]'s [[Large Hadron Collider]], [[10 September|that day]]. [[Andrew Marr]] introduced the audio play live from CERN. An MP3 version of the audio play was made available for seven days after broadcast. It was released on CD on [[18 September (releases)|18 September]] 2008.

* ''Lost Souls'' was broadcast on [[10 September (releases)|10 September]] [[2008 (releases)|2008]]. As later confirmed by [[TV]]: ''[[Extremis (TV story)|Extremis]]'' in the [[DWU]], the [[Large Hadron Collider]] was first tested on [[10 September]] [[2008]]. This would place this story in a select class, which take place on the exact same date as they were first released. However, this creates a discrepancy in the overall timeline of the [[Russell T Davies]], as it would ignore the extra year from ''[[Aliens of London (TV story)|Aliens of London]]'', and simply assume that these stories are set in the same year that they were broadcast in. In fact, with the extra year in mind, Tosh and Ianti died in 2009, one year ''after'' the first testing of the Large Hadron Collider. Of course, ''Lost Souls'' is far from the only example of such a contradiction.

''Lost Souls'' was released by [[BBC Audio]] in both CD and MP3 download formats on [[18 September (releases)|18 September]] [[2008 (releases)|2008]], only a week after broadcast (ISBN 978-1-4056-8944-1). Straight after initial broadcast, for one week only, internet users could download the radio serial free from the BBC website. The CD also includes the BBC Radio Wales feature ''[[Torchwood: All Access]]''. Presented by Julian Carey and aired to coincide with the debut of Series 2, this is a 25-minute documentary on the Welsh aspects of the program, featuring interviews with [[Russell T Davies]], [[Eve Myles]], [[Gareth David-Lloyd]], [[Kai Owen]] and behind-the-scenes personnel. The mastering of the track contains an error that results in several minutes of discussion regarding the Hub set and its construction being repeated.
