The Whoniverse Round-Up February 2020



February 2020


Paul Kasey

We caught up with Paul Kasey recently and we were excited to discover that he was back in Doctor Who’s latest season in two roles. Kasey explained that it was his first time on Doctor Who without a mask. He played Harold Green in Nikola Tesla’s Night of Terror episode. He was sporting red eyes, which I took to be contact lenses but was informed that this was a visual effect that was added later.


Kasey also appeared in the episode Fugitive of the Judoon on the 26th January, as Ko Sho Blo. I hope he returns for more Who soon.


Julie Barclay


Julie Barclay is currently busy working on a new project that will be out sometime later this year. It’s an Indie film for the BFI, called Martyrs Lane, directed by Ruth Platt and stars Denise Gough (Stella), Steven Cree (TW: Uncanny Valley), Anastasia Hille (Keeping Faith), Hannah Rae (Broadchurch) and Kiera Thompson (Three More Sleeps).

Hannah and Kiera play sisters in the story.

Julie plays Janet ‘a lonely isolated woman struggling to care for her elderly mother’ in this ghost horror story.

Martyrs Lane Facebook Page gives an insight into the filming and worth a follow, guys. 



Simon Fisher-Becker

My Dalek Has Another Puncture is the second in Simon’s autobiographical trilogy, full of accounts of his life after Doctor Who, from auditions, castings, filming and recordings. It’s an interesting read and should ideally adorn everyone’s bookshelf.


It’s available now in paperback for £9.99 on Amazon. It’s also available to purchase in Kindle format.



Steven Savile

On the topic of new books to read. Steven Savile has a new book out. In eBook form only at the moment but one that looks like my kind of read. Tell me you’re not just a little bit tempted?


Scavenger Summer.

The summer of 1986. A summer of beachcombing and skinny dipping, of amusement arcades, karate games and Penny Falls, of first loves, fumbled experiences, excitement and possibilities. A summer where anything could happen. Those teenage days truly were the best ones of my life. Right up until the moment I found my mother’s body washed up on the beach.



If you have any news you would like to share with us. Something that we can post up in our Round Up. Do please get in touch.

See you in March.
