UK comedy guest stars!

News, ,

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!

NIGHT TERRACE - UK comedy guest stars join the Australian cast for season three!

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!

Season 3 crowdfunding campaign starts October 23

News, ,

As previously announced, there’s going to be a third season of Night Terrace – and we’ll need your help to make it! Our Kickstarter campaign will kick off on Wednesday, October 23 (based on Australian Eastern Daylight Time), with a planned release window of May 2020.

By supporting the campaign and pledging some cash, you’ll make possible eight more episodes of Night Terrace – and get yourself some great rewards into the bargain! Rewards include:

  • Early access to a digital copy of the new season, plus extra bonus material!
  • A Night Terrace USB key and key-ring!
  • A Kickstarter-exclusive audiobook of Night Terrace short stories, read by Ben McKenzie and written by some of our favourite authors!
  • A Kickstarter-exclusive bonus episode!
  • Your name – or even voice – mentioned in the show!

This time around some of the rewards will only be available through backing the Kickstarter, and won’t be released anywhere else. We want this season to be the biggest and best yet, so we’re shooting for the moon!

We’ll link to the campaign from our front page when it’s ready to kick off; until then, watch our site and social media for more information.

Season three coming to Kickstarter in 2019

News, , ,

With season two getting near the end of its premiere run on BBC Radio 4 Extra, we’re excited to announce our plans to make a third season of Night Terrace!

Sue, Anastasia and Eddie return for eight more episodes!

Anastasia has been all over space and time with Eddie Jones and Sue Denholm, but there’s still of lot of universe out there. Picking up after the end of season two, season three will have the housemates travelling far across the galaxy, seeing alien life from an entirely new angle, and paddling through the timstream of human history.

The main cast of Jackie Woodburne, Petra Elliott and Ben McKenzie all return, as do company players Amanda Buckley and Dave Lamb. There’ll also be a full supporting cast of guest stars. The series will be written by John Richards, Lee Zachariah, David Ashton and Ben McKenzie, and produced by John and Ben, with music and sound design by David. Season two is planned for release in May 2020.

A new Kickstarter campaign means new rewards – many of which will be familiar to backers of our previous two seasons! Get a digital copy of the new season for $5 off the usual asking price, or get a physical copy on a special USB key with a custom key ring. If you want more, there are signed scripts, the chance to have your name or voice in an episode, and even get an associate producer credit!

As well as the familiar rewards, we have a few new ones this year. We’re particularly excited about releasing a collection of original Night Terrace short stories, by the writers and guest authors – including George Ivanoff! – which will be read as an audio book by Ben McKenzie. They’ll be exclusive to the higher tiers of the Kickstarter campaign, so don’t miss out if you want to hear them!

The campaign will launch in mid-October, just after the end of season two’s broadcast on BBC Radio 4 Extra. Watch our web site, email newsletter and social media for more information – and maybe a surprise or two – in the lead up to the campaign.
