I love it when Big Finish springs these surprises on us - and yep, what a cast indeed! I assume this is a completely new series and I'm happy to go in blind. I'm a fan of the children of the night, so this might be right up my alley. Possibly in the mould of the Ultraviolet series, I wonder?
Just in time for Halloween too.

A Big Finish Original in all but name featuring Vampires and the original Matilda herself!! Instant pre-order from me!
I also love the fact that we have so many new names attached behind the scenes as well! Producer Lizzie Worsdell, Associate Producer Deverill Weekes and Director Ursula Burton!

Well that’s a weirdly high profile cast for an original, and an injection of new talent behind the scenes. I might be tempted, but will wait and see on details and trailer.
Also the mysterious Ash Darby gets their first credit outside Torchwood.

To be fair, I continue to think Ash Darby is a pen name for Goss or others, though I truly don’t know why unless it was created to get around criticisms of the Torchwood range becoming very stale in writer variety. |

Interesting. Sounds like a show from the late 90s.

Interesting. Feels like something from the late 90s. And that's reflected in the cast. For all the talk on here and socials about them being big names...Mara Wilson's not been the main player since 1996ish, Juliet Landau was maybe the 8th or 10th biggest character in Buffy 25 years ago, Alimi Ballard was in Numb3rs in the 2000s. I'd say they're jobbing actors who have been in big projects more than stars themselves. Kate Winslet or Michael Palin doing Big Finish - and John Hurt, for that - were much bigger deals in terms of high profiles. |

Am I the only one here who first saw Juliet Landau in 1990's awesome "Parker Lewis Can't Lose" tv show, where she played a dead/goth woman who played the bassoon, and who floated in and out of rooms in a cloud of smoke? She also used her English accent exactly the same in Buffy a few years later.  |
