The second of Big Finish’s video interviews to mark International Women’s Day is out now, and features writers Lizzie Hopley and Lisa McMullin.

The pair discuss the joys of writing for their favourite Doctor Who characters and representing forgotten historical women in their work.

Videographer and editor of the YouTube videos, Lisa Gledhill, said: “As a lifelong inhabitant of the Doctor Who universe, I’ve always enjoyed its wealth of wonderful female characters, from plucky journalists to super villains. It was a real privilege to talk to some of the talented women who bring these stories to life for Big Finish.

“In our real world, women are more likely to be fighting discrimination, poverty or violence than battling with bug-eyed monsters but that’s what makes fantasy stories so important. I hope that watching these videos will inspire people to discover new stories or perhaps even create new adventures of their own.”

The first interview was released yesterday, featuring Lisa Bowerman and Tania Rodrigues.

The Big Finish Podcast also features a two-part interview with directors Louise Jameson and Helen Goldwyn discussing their brilliant range work on ranges such as The Eighth of March, ATA Girl, and The Ninth Doctor Adventures. The first part is out now and the second will be released on 12 March 2023.
