Doctor Who star Mandip Gill will star in the upcoming crime thriller Curfew

Following a theatre run in 2:22 A Ghost Story and co-starring in the romantic comedy film This Time Next Year, former Doctor Who star Mandip Gill will be back on our screens later this year in Curfew. The near future crime thriller takes place in a world where all men are subject to a nightly curfew. Every man and boy over ten wears and irremovable tag to monitor them from 7pm to 7am every night.

It’s sixteen years on from the rash of murders that swept the Curfew protocol into law. But for the first time since tagging began, there’s been the murder of a woman walking alone at night. As she hunts for the killer DI Pamela Green must answer a terrifying question. Which is more likely – that a female serial killer has begun a new reign of terror in London? Or that a man has found a way to evade the tracking system? Either revelation could cause the entire curfew edict to collapse.

Sarah Parish (Empress of the Rachnoss, The Runaway Bride) plays DI Green, whose investigation begins to intersect with the lives of two other women. Doctor Who’s Yaz, Mandip Gill, plays Sarah, resident of a gated women-only community. She’s also one of the taggers who enforces the curfew. But does she know how to beat the system? Meanwhile, Alexandra Burke plays Helen, a teacher who wants to start a family with her boyfriend Tom (Ciarán Owens) but worries the authorities will deny his licence application to co-habit with a woman.

But how are these women connected to the killer?

 

Curfew adapts the 2022 novel After Dark by Jayne Cowie

Curfew also feature Anita Dobson, who returns as the mysterious Mrs. Flood in next year’s season of Doctor Who, as Janet, the leader of the community where Sarah lives. DCI Sue Ferguson, DI Green’s boss who refuses to accept the possibility of a male killer, is played by Lucy Benjamin, who previously played the Doctor’s companion Nyssa when she was regressed to childhood in 1983’s Mawdryn Undead.

The six part series will air on Paramount+ and is expected to arrive in November this year. Curfew is based on the 2022 novel After Dark by Jayne Cowie (I Did It for You).

Meanwhile, Mandip Gill’s other upcoming project couldn’t be more different. She’ll be voicing D.O.R.I.S. the computer in new CBeebies show Big Lizard, which also starts this Autumn. The 50 episodes of the animated show follows young astronaut Cosima and her alien best friend Big Lizard as they explore a new planet alongside her Dad (Josh Widdicombe) and D.O.R.I.S.

Varada Sethu will be playing Belinda Chandra as the new companion begins her Doctor Who adventure next year

 

This year’s Doctor Who panel at San Diego Comic Con was full of news and insights from the team of Russell T Davies, Ncuti Gatwa, and Millie Gibson. But one of the key bits of information they revealed was the name of the new companion played by Varada Sethu. Get ready to meet Belinda Chandra!

It won’t surprise many to learn that Sethu is playing a new character next season, rather than reprising her Boom role of Anglican marine Mundy Flynn. When Doctor Who Unleashed’s Steffan Powell interviewed for the Boom episode of the behind the scenes show, they danced around the new companion’s name so much it was clearly a new character. But now, at last, we have confirmation that it will be Belinda joining the Doctor and Ruby on their travels next year.

Belinda continues the Doctor’s impressive 62 year streak of never having two friends with the same name (though Vicki and Victoria come close). Belinda does share a last name with Rani Chandra from The Sarah Jane Adventures. However, it’s a reasonably common surname, so there’s likely no connection between Belinda Chandra and Rani.

Apart from that, we still know very little about Belinda. There’s no news, for instance, on where across time and space she’s from. Nor whether we’ll get to meet the rest of the Chandra family either. But considering the past 20 years since Doctor Who’s return it’s probably a reasonably safe bet that Belinda hails from the UK in 2025. Equally, it would be surprising if Russell T Davies didn’t introduce her family and friends in some form or other.

For now, we can’t even be sure when Sethu’s Belinda Chandra will first appear on our screens. She joins the TARDIS team at some point in the 2025 season. But it looks like the Doctor and Ruby will be meeting her mid-season rather than in the first episode.

As for when the 2025 season itself will begin, there’s a strong suggestion we can expect to see it at the end of March. That would be two months earlier than this year’s, meaning far less of a wait. Of course, before that we have Joy to the World to look forward to this Christmas, with Nicola Coughlan’s Joy featuring alongside Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor for a one off adventure.

Goth Opera brings all the bloody thrills of Hammer Horror to Doctor Who in a superb adaptation of a classic novel

The Fifth Doctor and his friends talk a walk on the dark side as Big Finish’s novel adaptations return with Goth Opera. The 1994 novel setting the Fifth Doctor against a global vampire plot was the first in the Missing Adventures range. As such, it’s arguably the start of the practice of dipping back in time to old Doctors to tell new stories set in the gaps between television episodes; a tradition which Big Finish continues to this day. Moreover, it was written by Paul Cornell, one of the bright young things of 1990s Doctor Who. His style would be an influence of the show’s 2005 return. Indeed, Cornell himself would go on to script the celebrated episodes Father’s Day, Human Nature, and Family of Blood.

This new full cast audio adaptation clearly has a lot to live up to, then. Fortunately, Lizbeth Myles is the perfect choice to dramatise Goth Opera. She’s a respected Big Finish writer in her own right, of course. But she’s also co-host with Cornell of the excellent Hammer House of Podcast. Fantastically, not only does this mean she’s got a keen insight into Cornell’s narrative voice, but an equal understanding of the Hammer tropes and themes he was homaging in this tale of vampires and Time Lords. The result is a high point of the Novel Adaptations. More than that, Goth Opera is probably the best Doctor Who release from Big Finish so far this year.

 

Lizbeth Myles’ skillful adaptation introduces every twist, revelation and new subplot with exquisite timing

Goth Opera’s plot centres on the Time Lord Ruath’s plans to cover the universe is a wave of eternal darkness, beginning with the resurrection of ‘vampire messiah’ Lord Yarven. Ruath’s scheme also aims to deliver revenge against her most hated enemy… the Doctor. Her new allies’ initial attack leaves Nyssa infected and starting her own journey to the dark side. Nyssa keeps her condition secret from the increasingly concerned Doctor and Tegan even as she tries to develop a cure for her growing blood lust. Meanwhile, Yarven marshals his sinister forces, raising a vampire army as the undead spread across the city. Even more ominously, Ruath crafts an experiment that will shift the balance of power in the vampires’ favour forever.

As if all that wasn’t enough, firebrand preacher Victor Lang’s crusade to expose what he thinks is a Satanic cult places him and his followers on a collision course with both the vampires and the Doctor.

These overlapping plots and subplots bring into focus the benefits of a strong, carefully crafted story structure. Everything unfolds beautifully, and all the many setbacks, revelations, and twists injected into the plot with precision timing. For a story with so much going on, scarcely a minute of Goth Opera feels wasted. Every scene and character has a reason for being there and impressively, Cornell’s plot, and Myles’ script, ensure that each element reinforces both the plot and its themes. The whole thing weights in at just over three hours, with an assorted cast of sixteen characters. Luxurious by Big Finish standards for a single story. Yet this is as lean and nimble as Doctor Who gets.

 

Most obviously inspired by Hammer’s two present day outings for Dracula, Goth Opera is both a loving pastiche and a thrilling fusion of Hammer and Who

In theory, dropping the Doctor into the middle of a full on Hammer Horror film just shouldn’t work. Doctor Who may well love a good pastiche, including the odd Hammer influence. But as a rule, these borrowed elements were filtered through the television show’s unique narrative demands.

In contrast, Goth Opera places the Doctor Who elements into a story that could easily pass as the missing finale of a trilogy with Dracula 1972ad and The Satanic Rites of Dracula. Micha Balfour’s Lord Yarven may love the sound of his own voice compared to Christopher Lee’s stoic count. However, that’s as you’d expect in the audio format. Other than that, though, is as creepy, bloody, and action packed as Hammer at its best. It’s also has that trademark over the top gore in places; the type that walks the line between disgusting and funny. At one point, Nyssa vomits up copious amounts of the unsuccessful substitute blood she’s cooked up in her lab, covered head to toe in red as she chases Tegan around the TARDIS.

A core part of Ruath and Yarven’s master plan echoes Dracula’s diabolical design in Satanic Rites too. Indeed, it feels like the result of one of those delightfully fannish conversations where fans plug all the holes in a bad guy’s scheme and come up with a better version. It even echoes Satanic Rites’ raid on Dracula’s mansion, as Lang’s forces attempt to break up a Black Mass. The chaotic scenes evoke jump cuts to terrified faces, and spinning, overhead wide shots of the pitched battle. Though the ultimate destination of Lang’s subplot breaks ranks to sit more at home in the canons of John Carpenter or David Cronenberg, that’s no bad thing.

 

The cast of Goth Opera. (l-r) Ewan Goddard (Jeremy/Bob), John Schwab (Victor Lang), Lydia Wilson (Maddy), Sarah Sutton (Nyssa), Nathan Jonathan (Jake), Natalie Gumede (Ruath), Lionelle Nsarhaza (Lydia/Newsreader), Micah Balfour (Lord Yarven) (c) Big Finish Sarah Sutton leads a cast rising to the quality of the material with uniformly brilliant performances

Goth Opera’s superb script is elevated even higher by the strong response of the cast to the material. Sarah Sutton stands out, as you’d expect, as Nyssa the fledgling vampire. A companion falling under a malign influence and acting out of character before (spoilers!) being their old self again by the final TARDIS scene might appear to be pretty standard stuff. However, this time is far more psychologically complex. We delve into Nyssa’s terror at what she’s becoming and might do to her friends as her thirst for blood becomes unbearable. Both script and Sutton handle Nyssa’s negotiations with her own moral code with delicate skill too. All in all, Sutton rises magnificently to the quality of what she’s given in one of her best performances.

The rest of the cast also seem aware Big Finish have handed them something special this time. Tegan’s frantic, almost self-destructive, determination to do whatever it takes to save her best friend is a real tour de force from Janet Fielding. She’s fierce in the face of overwhelming odds, but aware of her human fragility.  She’s also always ready with a sardonic observation even as she never once considers turning her back. It reminds us again just why Tegan and Fielding rank among Doctor Who’s finest ever companions.

There’s a fantastic understanding of her relationship with the Doctor too. She keeps him on his toes with the odd pointed barb. But the underlying affection is never far beneath the surface. Against that, any irritation he shows comes from the weary acceptance he can never hide his worries from her.

 

This is a strong outing for the Fifth Doctor, with a layered and complex characterisation matched by a reinvigorated Davison

Peter Davison, too, injects such energy and breathless intensity into his Doctor that 1983 feels like yesterday. It matches a story that, aside from an odd obsession with tea, really understands what makes the Fifth Doctor tick. It’s a layered characterisation, with his feigned indifference, even ineffectuality, in the face of the enemy simply a substitute for the clowning more familiar with other Doctors. It masks the high speed bullet train of his mind as he calculates exactly how to save the day. Davison also reminds us how powerful an openly emotional Doctor can be, as he rages at his own miscalculations and failings as opportunities to save Nyssa and defeat the vampires grown thin.

Meanwhile, among the guest cast Natalie Gumede excels as Ruath. Doubling up characters is not unusual in Big Finish productions. But Gumede masters the unique challenge of playing two different incarnations of Ruath. (Her regeneration in the early scenes from aged crone to young vixen another nod to the likes of Countess Dracula). She turns in a haughty, yet deliciously vampish, showing as the Time Lord archivist turned creature of the night.  The outcome is that she sits comfortably alongside Ingrid Pitt and Hammer’s other vampire queens.

Elsewhere, Nathan Jonathan and Lydia Wilson do great work with the deceptively challenging roles of street vampires Jake and Maddy. They function as both a Greek chorus, making ironical comments on their masters’ grand plans of cosmic domination, and as comic relief with their matter of fact observations of the day to day realities of vampire undeath. However, they always feel like real individuals, and their very ordinariness and everyday friendliness form a crucial link in Nyssa’s descent into darkness.

 

And the end of the day, Goth Opera is bloody good fun

Goth Opera provides a rarely bettered template for expanding Doctor Who into unexpected territory while remaining completely itself. This Doctor, Nyssa, and Tegan are absolutely the same characters who appeared on our screens in the 1980s, just deeper and more rounded than we usually get to see them. The skillful editing of Myles’ adaptation also ensures that it’s a meticulously balanced and plotted three hours of Doctor Who. Better still, it all leads up to a clever resolution which puts the Doctor’s deviousness and intelligence on full display. All while allowing the emotional truth of what the characters have been through to linger.

But most of all, the Hammer house of horror sinking its fangs into Doctor Who is just fun. Brilliant, blood soaked, cross wielding, fang baring fun.

Manchester, 1993. The Time Lady Ruath, an old friend of the Doctor’s, arrives on the planet to inform Earth’s vampires that the arrival of their legendary messiah is imminent. His rising will herald an age of endless night where the undead reign supreme. All that is needed is the blood of a Time Lord.

In Tasmania, the Doctor, Tegan, and Nyssa are enjoying the sun and plenty of cricket. When they are attacked by vampires, they escape unscathed, except for Nyssa who suffers two small puncture wounds to her neck. Compelled by her attacker to remain silent, she can tell no-one what she’s turning into.

Why is Ruath so determined to see the descendants of the Great Vampire rise to power? If only the Doctor knew the truth, she’s certain he would turn to her side, and help to secure the future of Vampire kind, no matter how much humanity must suffer.

North American Doctor Who fans will finally be able to own the 60th Anniversary specials on DVD and Blu-ray this Christmas

Doctor Who’s three 60th Anniversary specials will be getting an American release on Blu-ray and DVD later this year. The UK editions followed their television broadcast swiftly, coming out last December. Meanwhile, the US versions will ultimately arrive a year later, coming out on the 10th of December 2024.

It’s good news for the show’s American fans, especially those without access to Doctor Who’s international home, Disney+. Although it’s been a long wait compared to that British release, a one year wait is comparatively quick for a Disney+ show. It also means that fans in American might well get the 2024 season on DVD and Blu-ray by this time next year.

There’s no information yet as to whether or not the American versions will contain all the same extracts as the UK discs. However, if they do it will also be the first opportunity for viewers there to see content that was previously exclusive to iPlayer and never included on Disney+. It makes the set a must buy for people wanting to get copies of Doctor Who Unleashed or the in-vision commentaries, even if they already have Disney+.

You can pre-order the 60th Anniversary Specials now from all good US retailers.

Joy meets the Doctor in a special Doctor Who Christmas special preview!

Among all the news and delights of this weekend’s San Diego Comic Con, Doctor Who fans were given their first look at this year’s Christmas special. The episode, titled Joy to the World, guest stars Bridgerton and Derry Girls’ Nicola Coughlan as Joy. The scene reveals Joy’s first meeting with the Doctor as their adventure together begins. It also gives us our first look at one of the familiar creatures to feature in the story. But are they friend or foe or something in between? There’s even a hint at just want regular, everyday, thing writer Steven Moffat is going to make something you’ll no longer look at the same way again…

Hopeful and optimistic, Joy is visiting London for Christmas. Travelling alone, she has a single hotel room for the week. A room with ‘one of those doors.’ The type of hotel room door to nowhere that’s permanently locked. But it’s definitely just a connecting door to the next room for when groups have booked both. Well, probably. Maybe.

Meanwhile, across Earth history, the Doctor is on a quest. A mission to deliver a ham and cheese toastie and a pumpkin latte. It’s a journey that brings him through many of ‘those doors,’ until finally he finds himself in London in 2024 facing Joy… and a Silurian?

 

 

The special preview promises a fun Christmas treat

Who is Joy? Why is she in London? Does she even like ham and cheese toasties? And who on Earth or beyond drinks a pumpkin spice latte in what’s obviously gingerbread latte season? (Timey wimey, caffeiney waffeniey.)

More importantly, why is there a Silurian in her hotel room? Why is dressed as a hotel manager? Any why does he sound like he’s spouting bizarre phrases like a spy hoping for the counter-sign?

It’s now less than five months until we find out!

New Doctor Who novel Caged brings the Fifteenth Doctor and Ruby vividly to life in the perfect substitute for those already missing their TV adventures

 

The new range of original Doctor Who novels featuring the Fifteenth Doctor and Ruby Sunday has begun. The second of the first pair of those books is Caged by Una McCormack. It features our heroes on an adventure that starts with a simple but irresistible idea. Imagine if aliens were really abducting and returning humans for research purposes. Surely humanity wouldn’t be the only ones they were experimenting on? However, Caged takes that notion and goes on a wild ride with it to become something very different indeed. The result is full of imagination, and the world McCormack has built contains some huge, fun concepts.

The secrets of the Seven Systems reveal themselves only slowly. We learn early on, though, that they’re home to two different alien species. The Doctor and Ruby arrive first on a small planet, lush with natural beauty. It’s also home to a species not unlike giant guinea pigs in form, and Hobbit-like in character. All they want is to enjoy their gentle, happy, lives in the quiet certainty that there’s nothing beyond their valley that could possibly interest them. But young dreamer Chirracharr is restless, following a vivid waking nightmare of an abduction by strange creatures. She sets off on a quest into the wilderness to discover the truth for herself.

Elsewhere, a cephalopod Ixite called Tixlel works tirelessly on some grand experiment, sadly reflecting that they’re now more convinced than ever that their people are the only sentient life in the universe. The connection between these two lonely aliens may seem obvious at first. However, the details of exactly what’s happening, the unexpected complications, and the sheer scope of the experiment, keep Caged full of surprises.

 

In classic Doctor Who style, the Doctor and Ruby are soon having parallel adventures, each dealing with one of the two alien species at the heart of the mystery

Perhaps Caged’s greatest asset, though, is how perfectly it captures the Doctor and Ruby. Given that McCormack was writing the novel when Ncuti Gatwa’s first episodes were still unfinished, his voice comes through astonishingly clearly. He laughs throughout, filled with enthusiasm and delight for every new discovery no matter how big or small. But the text also fully realises his gentle empathy, particularly for those who feel themselves outsiders. Even his ever changing wardrobe is present, as he dons a tweed flatcap for this particular outing, perfect for his One Man and his Dog routine as he herds the steel armadillo like Rollers.

In classic Doctor Who style, the plot separates the Doctor and his companion early on. The Time Lord is paired with Chirracharr for most of the novel, as they seek to understand her world. Meanwhile, Ruby finds herself transported across the Seven Systems where she and Tixlel together have to navigate the potentially seismic impact of first contact. It’s a smart move which not only gives Ruby more time on the page, but also emphasizes her character. Her courage and strength of will is evident as she prepares to take on an entire planet of potentially hostile aliens with nothing more than a stick and two opposable thumbs.

But so is that kindness and deep sense of personal responsibility we saw in Space Babies. Upon realising the situation, she tries to be the best representative of The Rest of the Universe she can be. So well drawn is she, it’s easily to imagine Millie Gibson’s bright eyed, bemused expression as Ruby’s hair is stroked and petted by the tentacles of thousands of fascinated Ixites who’ve come to meet her.

 

The Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson),BBC STUDIOS 2023,James Pardon Una McCormack’s text strikes an optimistic tone throughout, in a story that beautifully reflects the show’s core values

Caged’s themes also reflect some of the core values of Doctor Who, and the current era specifically. The misguided tendency to conflate a society’s technological advancement for its value goes all the way back to An Unearthly Child, but the novel explore it more delicately than most. (Though the Doctor reassuring Chirricharr that he’d never abduct anyone calls to mind An Unearthly Child in a different way. Oh, how quickly he forgets.) Meanwhile, the novel dances on the knife edge of that underlying idea that there aren’t really any monsters, just creatures you haven’t met yet. It’s a claim Doctor Who often makes, but which rarely turns out to be true. And Caged keeps everyone’s fingers, claws, and tentacles crossed that this will be one of the times things actually work out.

Naturally, though, things can’t run entirely smoothly. Before the end fans of action packed heroics and Return of the Jedi will be rewarded by a brave band of cuddly living plushies defending their woodland home from giant, mechanical death machines. However, the real battle remains between people’s best and worst instincts. And the toughest fight might be to open their minds to expand the very definition of ‘people.’

 

Bonnie Langford’s skilled audiobook reading displays the impressively diverse range of voices at her disposal

The audiobook version of Caged is read by Bonnie Langford. Having appeared alongside Ncuti Gatwa in The Giggle and the recent season’s finale, it’s no wonder she provides a strong sense of his presence. There’s no attempt to replicate his accent, but his sheer joyful energy is there in every line. Langford also impresses with the range of her vocal performances. Each character receives a distinct voice that’s perfectly judged for their role in the story, from the timid but courageous Chirricharr, who sounds exactly like you’d expect a talking guinea pig would, to the more measured, thoughtful, but internally complex Tixlel. Only Langford’s Ruby Sunday misses the mark by a few dozen miles, perhaps more Emmerdale than Coronation Street. Otherwise, though, she’s the same witty, curious, young woman brought to life by Millie Gibson.

 

As fans settle in for the long wait for new episodes, Caged makes an excellent substitute to jump into and enjoy

Fans of the Fifteenth Doctor may well lament only getting eight episodes of cosmic joyriding with him this year. Fortunately, Caged is as close as you can hope to come to a missing ninth episode. It’s full of the energy, action, humour and, most of all, heart that makes the new era what it is. Long may it, and the book range to go with it, continue.
