At the recording of the Big Finish audio series, Jenny – The Doctor's Daughter, in July 2021, we put your questions to Georgia Tennant.

---

Jenny, the Doctor’s daughter, is back and ready to save planets, fight monsters and save the day once again... but maybe not in the same manner as her father!

Georgia Tennant stars in four brand new full cast audio adventures from Big Finish Productions. Forget diplomacy and patience. When there’s fun to be had, Jenny – first seen in the 2008 Doctor Who television episode The Doctor’s Daughter – and sidekick Noah (the calming influence played by Sean Biggerstaff) are sure to end up in as much trouble as ever.

Jenny was made as a soldier but has a Time Lord’s heritage – and that Time Lord is the Doctor. Exploring the universe, Jenny found a friend – Noah, a mystery boy from nowhere.

Together they’re ready to save planets, fight monsters, and save the day with nothing but wit and instinct – and an awful lot of running.

The four fabulous adventures in this box set are as follows:

Inside the Maldovarium by Adrian Poynton

Jenny and Noah find a priceless item up for auction at a disreputable venue – with an even less trustworthy owner. Dorium Maldovar might seem pleased to see them, but what’s his real agenda? Is Jenny here by chance, or is someone spinning a web…?

Altered Status by Christian Brassington & Matt Fitton

On a utopian world, the perfect society toils towards its worthy ‘Cause’. But the hard-working Suits are more than they seem, and the Department Head is something else altogether. And when Jenny and Noah scratch the surface, they find silver underneath. The Cybermen are coming…

Calamity Jenny by John Dorney

When Noah and Jenny mosey on into the Old West, it’s surely a coincidence that Jenny looks exactly like the town’s most notorious outlaw. But as they’ll discover, anyone who crosses ‘Calamity Jenny’ suffers an unlucky fate – and it’s usually fatal.

Her Own Worst Enemy by Lisa McMullin

Jenny wants bounty hunter cyborg Colt-5000 off their trail once and for all. Her plan involves cybertech founder Seavus Colt, time travel, and showing somebody the true value of their life. But the web of time can’t be pulled apart without a cost…

In an interview with RadioTimes.com, star Georgia Tennant said: “It took a while for me to want to give that character further life. I think mainly because I felt like it was kind of a perfectly formed character... she disappeared off into the universe and that felt like a lovely full stop – with a little question mark after it. And that was nice.

“So I felt like if I brought her back, I wanted it to be the right thing to have done. I didn’t want people to be like, ‘Oh, here she is again!’ – so it took me a long time and it was quite a creative process with Big Finish to figure out how that would work. So it took a couple of years actually.”

Script editor Matt Fitton explained further: “This range has a different tone from a lot of the things Big Finish produces – it’s almost overtly comedic. Georgia, who is also associate producer, wanted these releases to be enjoyed by everyone. So you don’t need to be steeped in Doctor Who lore to understand it. A key note for the range was to make it fun.”

And producer Emma Haigh added: “It’s great to have Jenny and Noah back and I’ve loved getting to know them, their world and their adventures. This box set takes us on a great roller-coaster of a ride where we learn a little more about our heroes’ histories and those of their enemies. Saddle up for some fun!”

The cast also features guest appearances from Michael Brandon (Dempsey & Makepeace), Simon Fisher-Becker (Harry Potter), Siân Phillips (I, Claudius) and Sara Powell (Last Christmas), fresh from her triumphant appearance as Mary Seacole in the Doctor Who episode, War of the Sontarans.
