With our season three crowdfunding campaign nearly halfway done, we thought this would be a great time to announce our latest guest star, Toby Hadoke. Plus we’d like to highlight the other stars of UK comedy star who’ll be in season three: the Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppets!
Toby Hadoke is best known to many for the live show and radio serial Moths Ate My Doctor Who Scarf. But he’s also a prolific actor, comedian, writer and podcaster! He’s appeared in television dramas like Holby City, Casualty, Coronation Street and even Doctor Who’s 50th anniversary William Hartnell biopic An Adventure in Time and Space. And he’s no stranger to audio, having played various roles in Big Finish Doctor Who and original dramas, and appeared on radio many times – including as an announcer on the 7th Dimension, where he introduced Night Terrace! We’re so pleased to have him on board. (Splendid Chaps fans will probably love his Doctor Who interview podcast, Toby Hadoke’s Who’s Round, celebrating the 50th anniversary.)
We were also thrilled when the Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre said they’d join us! They’ve been delighting comedy audiences with their satirical songs and sketches for nearly 15 years, both live on stage and on their popular YouTube channel. They’ve become a staple of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, toured all over the world – including to Australia – and you can even find them in the DVD extras for several Doctor Who stories. We’re told by their manager, Kev F. Sutherland – who’s worked on The Beano and created The Sitcom Trials – that the puppets are more excited than that time they got confused about which Jodie Whittaker was playing the Doctor.
We’re hoping to have some more great guest stars lined up before the campaign ends, and we’ll post about them then! Until then, keep an eye on our Kickstarter campaign, and help us get over the line – every pledge and every share helps!
