BLAKE'S 7
I've been lucky enough to work on a couple of Blake's 7 audios for Big Finish. It's a real blast working on a show that's been part of your consciousness since you were 10 years old. Add to that I got to work with Cav Scott and Justin Richards on these, which was terrific. I have enormous respect for both. To cap it all mine have all been Vila-centric stories, so... excellent all round.

Vila is scared. Of course he is. Vila is always scared.
He should feel safe. He is on board the Liberator, the most powerful ship ever constructed. He is home – but he is certainly not alone.
Ghostly figures stalk the corridors of the Liberator. Spectres who know Vila’s name.
Revenants. Demons.
And Vila has nowhere to run.

Part mystery, part detective story, part dark fantasy, part science fiction... original adventures in time and space.

An audio play recorded live on stage. Script adapted by Barnaby Eaton Jones, Daniel McGachey and Iain McLaughlin from a play by Miles Tredinnick, which was based on characters, situations and scripts by Talbot Rothwell and Sid Colin.
When I were a lad, the Carry On films were the funniest things in the world. Frankie Howerd only appeared in two but he was in Carry On Doctor, one of my absolute favourites. I was in my teens when I first saw repeats of Up Pompeii... and laughed and laughed and laughed. When the chance came up to be involved in a revival of Up Pompeii, I leaped at it and I've had a ball. I can't wait to hear those great words "And now, the prologue..." and if you don't know what I'm talking about; if you have never seen Up Pompeii... head over to Youtube and treat yourself.

From the back cover:
When a series of mysterious deaths confound the local press, Tom feels compelled to investigate – despite explicit instructions from his superiors at Department 7 to stay well away. Perhaps his instincts have been clouded by his growing feelings for his colleague, Anne Reynolds, or his dislike for their boss, Roy Martindale, but as events start to spiral out of control, Tom realises he has seriously underestimated the powers that he is dealing with...
