Jean Marsh Remembered by Sylvester McCoy, Sophie Aldred and Simon Guerrier

Jean Marsh passed away on the 13th April 2025 at the age of 90. She was a reknowned actress both in the UK and abroad, having worked in TV, film and theatre.

For Doctor Who fans, she is best remembered for her roles as Johanna in The Crusade, Sara Kingdom in The Daleks' Masterplan, and Morgaine in Battlefield.

She reprised the role of Sara on audio for Big Finish in The Companion Chronicles and Early Adventures ranges.

Writer Simon Guerrier joins us for this episode of the podcast, and shares some of his memories of the times he spent with Jean.

We'll also discuss his Sara Kingdom trilogy, which features the stories, "Home Truths", The Drowned World", and "Guardian of the Solar System". There'll be spoilers, so if you haven't heard them, we recommend you grab them from the Big Finish website and have a listen to them first. They are fantastic!

We also have some special tributes to Jean from her Battlefield co-stars, Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred. Thanks to them both for joining us.

Guest: Jessica Martin - The Mags Trilogy

Our special guest for this episode is actress Jessica Martin, known in Doctor Who for playing Mags in The Greatest Show in the Galaxy on television, and in a trilogy of stories for the Big Finish Doctor Who monthly range.

We'll talk about her career, her time in Doctor Who, conventions, mimicry and art.

Dwayne and Philip also cover some of the positive feedback from the latest Sirens of Audio live events with Matthew Waterhouse, and they discuss the reason why those live events don't always go to smaller, more regional areas.

Guest: Gary Russell - Oh No It Isn't and Beyond the Sun

Has it really taken us this long to review the first two releases from Big Finish? Oh yes it has!

Would Big Finish have acquired the Doctor Who license from the BBC without these recordings? Oh no they wouldn't!

Oh No It Isn't by Paul Cornell and adapted by Jacqueline Raynor, and Beyond the Sun, written and adapted by Matt Jones, were released way back in 1998... and the rest is history!

Gary Russell joins us to talk about those very early days and specifically, the production of these original Big Finish classics.
