Sontar, HA! Our guest this time is Dan Starkey, a recognizable face and voice in both TV and audio Doctor Who. He is best known for playing various Sontarans over the the last 15 years, but he has also acted in many Big Finish audio plays in other roles and has read many novels for release as BBC Audiobooks. He has also written some of our favourite Doctor Who plays for Big Finish. 

We hope you enjoy our chat with Dan, going right back to his early days of Doctor Who fandom, we explore how he came to be an actor, and talk about what the future may bring.
