There are certain stage directions that crop up a lot in Big Finish scripts. Actors might be asked to react to the blast of an energy weapon, struggle against imaginary restraints, or simulate exhaustion from running down miles of corridor. But Dining with Death is probably the only script that will ever ask its cast to portray ‘MAYHEM AS THEY EVADE THE LIVING CHEESE’.
Vastra, Jenny and Strax – the Doctor’s crim eghting friends in Victorian London – are back for three m ore episodes of the Heritage series, of which Dining with Death is the first. It’s written by Dan Starkey, who also voices Strax.
