Interview | Billie Piper and Camille Coduri talk Rose Tyler and Doctor Who

FIND OUT MORE AT THE BIG FINISH WEBSITE: Billie Piper returns in three full-cast audio dramas, set in the aftermath of the 2006 Doctor Who TV story Doomsday, as Rose continues her search for the Doctor alongside her mum Jackie Tyler (Camille Coduri) and the conspiracist Clive Finch (Mark Benton). Rose Tyler continues her mission to find the one person who can stop the stars going out and save the multiverse. Each jump takes Rose to an Earth under threat - parallel worlds, which means other versions of friends and family too. Time is running out, but Rose won’t stop until she finds the Doctor… Billie Piper said: “The Dimension Cannon is such a brilliant idea and gives Rose a lot more life beyond the Doctor. But there’s also something quite sad about her search. It’s a real bitter-sweet series of tales. “I’m delighted for the fans to receive these new adventures. It’s something they talk to me about just as much as the episodes I appeared in on TV. It seems like there’s an enormous appetite for it and it’s very moving to imagine listeners spending a few more moments with this family particularly.” Producer Emily Cook added: “Rose was my gateway into Doctor Who, my first companion, and I adored her. I still do. So safe to say it’s an absolute joy – both on a personal and professional level – to take on producing two more volumes of The Dimension Cannon. I’m such a fan of this series. “In addition to producing, I had the privilege of writing one of the scripts (my first for Big Finish). There’s such a responsibility when writing for Billie because she’s a phenomenal actor, particularly in terms of her ability to convey raw emotion. That’s something I really wanted to tap into with these stories. “As with Doctor Who itself, the possibilities for The Dimension Cannon are endless. There are so many potential parallel worlds out there for us to explore and I can’t wait for fans to hear where we go next.” The three multidimensional adventures in this box set are as follows: Saltwater by Alison Winter Rose finds an Earth under threat, as something steals the salt from the oceans. As global tensions escalate, Rose wants to make those in charge listen, and finds an ally in the shape of another Clive… Now is the New Dark by AK Benedict On an Earth where science never advanced from the Dark Ages, Rose and Clive find themselves under suspicion. Someone is killing the Melancholics, but apparently there’s a Doctor here who can help… The Rogue Planet by Emily Cook Rose finds herself closer to home than ever – but she’s in for a shock. Meanwhile, Jackie is a hit on daytime TV and Clive is a professor, but nobody seems to realise how much danger the world is in. Camille Coduri said: “I’m so hugely excited to be back recording with Billie Piper. It’s just always such a joy. I love her beyond life itself. To get to play our old roles again together in another adventure is brilliant fun. “I think fans better get their seatbelts on. The stories are rip-roaring and a lot of unexpected things will happen. There’s joy, comedy, pathos, sadness, and huge drama. Get ready for the ride.” Mark Benton added: “I was so pleased when Big Finish got in touch to say they were doing more of The Dimension Cannon. Every time I get to play Clive again is a real surprise. Coming back is like coming home. It’s such great fun to record. “This new series is exciting, it’s funny, and it’s very different. We had a blast doing it from start to finish.” Rose Tyler – The Dimension Cannon: Other Worlds is now available to own for just £ (as a 3-disc collector’s edition CD box set download) or £ (download only).
