Big Finish Jenny The Doctor’s Daughter 03 Saving Time

Available to order for www.bigfinish.com

Jenny’s enemies old and new

Georgia Tennant is joined by Anna Lundberg in Jenny – The Doctor’s Daughter: Saving Time, due for release in October – story and cast details are revealed today.

Jenny was created from the Doctor’s template – so it’s no wonder she finds herself in trouble. A lot. Exploring the universe with Noah, a mystery boy from nowhere, they have escaped the mercenary hunting them – but wrecked the timelines in the process.

Now Jenny must find a way to save herself, her friend, and – if they can get around to it – time itself…

Jenny (Georgia Tennant), the artificially created daughter of the Doctor, returns for four new adventures in Saving Time, a brand-new box set of full-cast audio drama. Along with her friend Noah (Sean Biggerstaff), she’ll encounter troublesome monsters and villains across time and space.

The most dangerous enemy of all is Jexabel Glyce – she’s the richest woman in the universe, and has a terrible scheme to rebuild the Earth the way she wants it to be. Jexabel is voiced by Anna Lundberg, who is best known as Tennant’s co-star in the BBC sitcom Staged, now making her Big Finish debut.

The box set also features the return of Stuart Milligan as the alien con artist Garundel, as well as Simon Fisher-Becker as the slippery Dorium Maldovar, first seen in 2010 Doctor Who TV episode The Pandorica Opens.

Jenny – The Doctor’s Daughter: Saving Time is now available for pre-order as a collector’s edition CD box set (+ download) for just £29.99 and as a digital download only for £22.99, exclusively from www.bigfinish.com.

The four new adventures for Jenny are:

Florence O’Connor and the Sandwich of Doom by John Dorney

Jenny has solved her immediate problem of being hunted by the cyborg COLT-5000 bounty hunter once known as Geraldine. Jenny’s new problem is that she is being hunted by a cyborg COLT-5000 once known as her best friend, Noah. The timelines are in chaos. There is only one way to fix things. And it involves cheese and pickle…

A Beginner’s Guide to Monsters (and How to Slay Them) by Rochana Patel

Escaping the 20th century, Jenny and Noah arrive in a medieval monastery under siege – from monsters lifted from the very pages of the Bestiary the monks are working to create.

How can they possibly defeat creatures of myth and legend? With griffins, manticores, and unicorns on the loose, Jenny needs to learn fast…

Genesis of the Humans by Adrian Poynton

After another manipulation by Dorium Maldovar, Jenny and Noah find themselves on a job for the conniving conman and his partner in crime, the equally slippery Garundel.

This time, Jenny and Noah must venture inside a genetic treasure: one which holds the key to the future – and the past – of the human race. His name is Theo.

Reboot by Lizzie Hopley

Jenny and Noah finally face their new nemesis: Jexabel Glyce – the Richest Woman in the Universe. With Noah a prisoner, Jenny is trapped on an Earth owned by the Glyce brand, where everyone is encouraged to raise virtual children instead of the real thing.

Jenny faces her greatest challenge yet: saving the universe, while taking care of her Glyce-Kidz!

Anna Lundberg said: “Working with Georgia is a pleasure – before we’ve played versions of ourselves in Staged, whereas here we get to play these very heightened characters, and be enemies!

“Jexabel is a mysterious force of nature, very temperamental, and she is the richest being in the universe. She is trying to create a superhuman kind of civilisation, and she doesn’t care who goes down along the way. She is ruthless.”

Georgia Tennant added: “It’s very exciting working with Anna again, as a baddie to my goodie this time. And it’s nice to have someone that you know very well is not really like that – she’s much nicer in real life. Mostly.”

Jenny – The Doctor’s Daughter: Saving Time is now available for pre-order as a collector’s edition CD box set (+ download) for just £29.99 and as a digital download only for £22.99, exclusively from www.bigfinish.com.

All the above prices include the special pre-order discount and are subject to change after general release.

Please note: the collector’s edition CD box set is strictly limited to 1,000 copies and will not be repressed.
