Georgia Tennant is joined by Anna Lundberg, her co-star from the hit BBC show, Staged in Big Finish’s upcoming boxset, Jenny – The Doctor’s Daughter: Saving Time.
Jenny, the artificially created daughter of the Doctor first seen in, uhm, The Doctor’s Daughter, returns for four new adventures in Saving Time, accompanied once more by her friend, Noah (Sean Biggerstaff).
Her most dangerous enemy of all is Jexabel Glyce – the richest woman in the universe, with a terrible scheme to rebuild the Earth the way she wants it to be. Jexabel is voiced by Anna Lundberg, now making her Big Finish debut.
Here’s the blurb for Saving Time:
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…
The box set also features the return of Stuart Milligan (Nixon in The Impossible Astronaut/ Day of the Moon) as the alien con artist, Garundel, as well as Simon Fisher-Becker as Dorium Maldovar, first seen in The Pandorica Opens.
The four new adventures 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, out in October, is now available for pre-order as a CD box set (and download) for £29.99 and as a digital download only for £22.99.
