It's no secret that I'm a big Thirteenth Doctor fan.

The Chibnall era is my happy place, somewhere I can go to get comfort when everything feels rough.

I love spending time with this Doctor and her friends. The Thirteenth Doctor episodes have helped me get through some difficult situations, and I have nothing but respect for those involved in bringing this era to life.

The Thirteenth Doctor means so much to me, so I get excited every time she appears in a new EU story.

But Vampire Weekend had me even more excited than usual.

After leaving Doctor Who in 2022, Jodie Whittaker and Mandip Gill were back to reprise their roles as the Doctor and Yasmin Khan in a series of audio dramas from Big Finish Productions!

I couldn't wait - and I was not disappointed.

There's so much in this audio I want to talk about.

Jodie and Mandip are as enthusiastic as always, delivering a great performance. The chemistry between the two on screen is just perfect and I'm glad that translated so well into the audio medium.

I loved the character exploration in Vampire Weekend - Tim Foley definitely understands the Doctor, Yaz, and their relationship with each other.

The plot itself was also super fun, with some actual laugh-out-loud moments, some ingenious twists, and a well-realised side cast - I thought the character of Daryl was wonderful, and the conversation between them and Yaz was one of my favourite scenes.

I'm absolutely overflowing with love for this phenomenal audio!

Thank you Big Finish. You've made me very happy.
