Read excerpt
There are libraries full of books. There are libraries full of knowledge. And then, apparently, there are libraries aboard the Nosferatu 2.5 where the books have started becoming rather selective about who gets to exist in them. This time aboard the ship, Sophie is joined by Dan Starkey, actor, writer, voice artist and one of the most recognisable inhabitants of the Doctor Who universe, despite frequently being hidden beneath several layers of prosthetics.

2.6 Sarah Sutton- "The Ghost In The Story" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Something is shushing aboard the Nosferatu 2.5. But who is shushing whom? And why has the Time Scoop delivered Sarah Sutton aboard the ship apparently carrying fragments of a story that never existed? This week, Sarah joins Sophie on the Sofa of Infinite Understanding for a journey through a remarkable career that began when she was just nine years old, playing Baby Roo in Winnie the Pooh , and continued through Alice Through the Looking Glass , The Moon Stallion and, of course, her unforgettabl
