Dr Who

Most recently I played Yinka – a pro-robot activist working undercover as a training facilitator in A Force of Nature (6.1 of The Robots) by Big Finish Productions, (makers of the Dr Who audio-drama series), in a cast headed by Nicola Walker and Claire Rushbrook. It was released in April, 2023. In this clip, Yinka warns robot SV113 not to blow her cover.

Riverside

In 2022 I played Ruby in the podcast mini-series Riverside – set in a fictional northern town. The stories were created by Glenda Young and scripted and adapted by Ian Skillicorn. Ruby, although a hopeless romantic, is also an indomitable spirit. In this clip Ruby regains that spirit after her longed-for wedding is aborted mid-service.

From an Island

In 2021 I played Melissa Bradley, (a.k.a. ‘The Snoop’) – the much feared Government Minister in From an Island - a podcast mini-series set in a future English dystopia, and compiled from “found” audio clips from an England isolated from the outside world for over 39 years. Bradley is plotting to overturn the government.

Little Bones

After more than 40 years, I stepped back eagerly into audio-drama in 2020 - recording a dramatised insert for the audiobook thriller Little Bones by N.V. Peacock, with ID Audio studios, London. Mrs Doncaster reminisces about her son, on a ‘podcast’ designed to help find his murderer.
