Big Finish has released details of The Thirteenth Doctor Adventures: Vampire Weekend, the first full-cast audio drama starring Jodie Whittaker and Mandip Gill, written by Tim Foley, and due out in July.
Yaz has been busy travelling in time and space so is overdue a good catch-up with her friends back in Sheffield, and Gina’s hen do should be the perfect opportunity. The first problem is: the Doctor’s tagging along. The second problem is the vampire.
Here’s the synopsis:
It’s Gina’s hen-do and her Maid of Honour has booked a large manor in the Peak District. All her friends should be here – including Yasmin Khan, who’s been mysteriously quiet whilst away on her travels.
But Yaz is bringing a guest. Someone who isn’t invited. Someone who might prove a little disruptive.
The Doctor is joining the celebrations. Unfortunately, so is an ancient enemy…
Alongside Whittaker and Gill, Vampire Weekend stars Daniel Walford as Daryl, Anna Crichlow as Zoya and Kat, Jeremy Ang Jones as Mason, and Mandi Symonds as Gina’s mum.
Writer Tim Foley said:
“I’m delighted to sink my teeth into a whole new era (vampire pun). We had a riot making this story – Jodie and Mandip could star in a sitcom as themselves, they’re so funny, and their chemistry is amazing.
“Vampire Weekend is a darkly comic manor-house mystery – think Bodies Bodies Bodies or a northern Cluedo, smushed with a hen party you’re trying to get out of. I hope this tale captures the Thirteenth Doctor’s madcap, fast-paced energy – right before she’s launched into a brand-new series like a technicolour pinball. Enjoy the jokes, the mini quiche, and the paranoia. But watch out! There’s a mysterious bloodsucker on the loose…”
Vampire Weekend is now available to pre-order for £9.99 (as a digital download to own) or £11.99 (download and single-disc CD, strictly limited to 1,500 copies).
