Interview | Safiyya Ingar and Jacob Dudman answer listeners’ questions

Find out more about The Eleventh Doctor Chronicles here: The Eleventh Doctor Chronicles return today as Jacob Dudman and Safiyya Ingar star in a brand-new box set of full-cast audio adventures from Big Finish Productions. Since October 2022, the Eleventh Doctor and his partly-cybernetic friend Valarie have been travelling by TARDIS on audio to tell new stories set in the immediate aftermath of the TV Doctor Who episode, The Snowmen. This acclaimed series will be coming to an end next year in an almighty battle with the Daleks. But first... Christmas! Producer Alfie Shaw said: “This box set is about finding hope in bleak situations, and I would say it’s the darkest set of stories in the series. “Happily, the reaction has been very positive. I’ve heard people who aren’t massive fans of the Eleventh Doctor’s television era say they’re enjoying our audio run. So that’s incredibly rewarding and all down to the brilliant work of our cast and crew.” Doctor Who – The Doctor Chronicles: The Eleventh Doctor: Everywhere and Anywhere is now available to own for just £ (on collector’s edition CD box set download) or £ (as a digital download only) from . Spirit of the Season by Georgia Cook It’s a Christmas miracle! The Doctor and Valarie have finally found another Clara. Shame she wants to kill them both. All’s Fair by Max Kashevsky Chicago’s World’s Fair, 1893. An ideal date for a pair of loved-up engineers. However, there are certain things you don’t want to happen on a date. An impossible reunion derailing things. Abominations stalking the streets. Your date dying at the end… Sins of the Flesh by Alfie Shaw Is your child exhibiting sinful behaviour? Have they set themselves on the road of eternal damnation? Has everything you tried failed? Feel like you’re out of options? Don’t worry. We can help. Bring them to the Rebirth Organisation today. Bring them to be converted. Eleventh Doctor actor Jacob Dudman said: “My favourite part of doing Doctor Who is always the emotional beats, rather than just running around trying to save the day and all of that other stuff that we love about the show. “But to me as an actor, I find the most interesting thing is playing the humanity, for want of a better word, of the relationships, particularly between the Doctor and their companion. The Doctor and Valarie go really well together.” Valarie Lockwood actor Safiyya Ingar agreed: “With Jake, I remember when we first met and we were recording. We came out for lunch and someone asked, ‘So how long have you guys known each other?’ And we were like, ‘We just met three hours ago,’ and it was the most rewarding feeling to just know that we already had a rapport from the off. “There are moments where Jake feels like I can give it a little bit more, and he tells me I should just go for it in studio, and he will too – we bounce off of each other like that. It ends up being the most authentic thing, with real and raw emotion. And then we always give each other a little hug afterwards. Job well done!” Big Finish listeners can pre-order Everywhere and Anywhere along with the forthcoming Victory of the Doctor (due for release in December 2023) together in a bundle for just £43 (collector’s edition CD box set download) or £36 (download only).
