Michelle Ryan's latest Doctor Who Audio adventure is available now via Big Finish. This latest episode of the full-cast audio drama series marks 60 years since the TV series began on BBC television.
Michelle Ryan stars once again as Lady Christina alongside Colin Baker as the Doctor and is joined by Camille Coduri (as Jackie Tyler), Christopher Naylor (as Harry Sullivan) and Michael Maloney (as the Renegade).
Script editor Matt Fitton said “With these 60th anniversary stories, it was great to work out what the shopping list of characters would be, who we’d throw into the mix, how they’d bounce off each other and who would work well together."
“We felt it would be really fun to put Lady Christina and Jackie together. They’re at two different ends of the social spectrum and so having them run into each other would make for an interesting mix. We’re also doing our best to represent lots of different eras of Doctor Who. And with this particular setting, we’ve got an older Harry Sullivan turning up as well.
“We’re bringing together people we’ve worked with quite a lot over the years. We know they’re fun and enjoy recording, so it’s a great group of people – both characters and actors.”
