The House of Masks by Georgia Cook For Valarie’s first trip through time and space, the TARDIS takes them to one of the Doctor’s favourite places: Venice, during Carnivale. Unfortunately, not everyone is there to enjoy the party. Captain Tomasi has a murder to commit, and he needs Valarie’s help to do it... The End by Rochana Patel Valarie/The Doctor is dying. Only the Doctor/Valarie can save Valarie/the Doctor, but for her/him to survive, the Doctor/Valarie will have to die in her/his place. For the Doctor/Valarie, this is journey’s end. Jacob Dudman said: “It’s very exciting to have our own era [of Doctor Who] where the Doctor gets a new companion and get to be a part of that. It’s been so much fun and we had such great energy in the studio. The cast is amazing! “Valarie is great and exactly what the Eleventh Doctor needs. They have the feistiness that River Song gave the Doctor, while also being completely bad-ass in their own right. You’re in safe hands with Valarie, and you could say the same about Safiyya as well. You know they’re going to give an amazing performance.” Safiyya Ingar added: “If I told ten-year-old me that I was going to be a companion one day, they wouldn’t believe it! I have a Doctor Who-specific bucket list of moments that I’ve wanted to experience with the Doctor and the fact that I’m getting to act quite a few of them is the best feeling. I just love it.” Director Nicholas Briggs said: “It’s been delightful. I always look forward to directing Jacob because it’s uncanny what he does. It’s not an impersonation but a living breathing performance that happens to sound more like Matt Smith, than Matt Smith. It’s fully malleable and adapts to everything. It’s amazing. “Safiyya has been brilliant and has breathed such incredible life to the fantastic character of Valarie. The interaction between Safiyya and Jacob was everything you want. They bounce off of each other beautifully. The actor playing the companion has to bring so much to the table and that’s what Safiyya is doing. It’s a joy to behold. Their performance is so raw and dangerous and I just I love that.” Big Finish listeners can save money by purchasing Geronimo! and the forthcoming box set, All of Time and Space together for just £38 (collector’s edition CD box set download) or £33 (download only).
