The end of July is seeing a load of new Doctor Who releases from Big Finish – The Lovecraft Invasion was released today, and the regular Short Trip arrived earlier this week. It features Sarah Sutton reprising the role of Nyssa in a well-executed tale with some clever conceits.

The author understands the relationship between the two time travellers – both how similar they are, and where they fundamentally differ 

Writer Alan Flanagan said: “I originally came up with the idea when reading interviews with astronauts preparing for the isolation of space travel. While the TARDIS is infinite swimming pools all the way down, I thought it’d be interesting to explore what it’s like to spend months on end in a glorified tin can, completely alone. 

“Writing monologues is always fun, and putting it in the hands of Sarah Sutton just made the whole process even sweeter.”

Producer Alfie Shaw added: “Alan’s story is a showcase for the immense acting talent of Sarah Sutton. Watching Sarah flit between the many distinct voices required was mesmerizing, and everyone in the studio was in awe. 

“It’s an oddly prescient tale, about how people cope with being cut off from contact with anyone else. Little did we know when we recorded that it was something we would all experience so soon!”
