Big Finish has just announced that there will be a GRACELESS SERIES 2!!!!!!!!!!! This is fantastic news!!! I'm so happy that this series sold enough to be able to continue. Graceless is, IMO, the best box set Big Finish released last year, if not, their best ever box set!
I'm so happy that Simon Guerrier is writing this again. it's only right, as Abby and Zara are his characters, he created them, and knows them the best. I really hope Lisa Bowerman directs them. She is the best director BF have, and she has directed all bar one of Abby (Amy) and Zara's stories. And I'm really happy that the story is carrying on from where it left off, with Marek and Zara's baby. And lastly, I spent the day with Ciara Janson (Abby) at a convention recently, and she is such a sweetheart, so I'm really happy for her to be able to carry on her role as Abby.
Who has pre-ordered Graceless? I have! It's only £20 for the CD box set (£17 download). Bargain!
A few days ago, Big Finish announced more information about Graceless, including cast list, here.
The weekend of 24th/25th July saw the cast of Graceless reassemble to record the final two episodes of Big Finish’s original sci-fi drama featuring Abby and Zara, the artificially-created sisters with special powers last seen in the Key2Time trilogy.
Ciara Janson (Abby) and Laura Doddington (Zara) were joined by Fraser James as Marek for parts one and three, The Sphere and The End. Marek is the man in the sisters’ lives – a rogue they can never quite trust who could turn on them at any time. Fraser James previously featured in the Big Finish Doctor Who story Valhalla, alongside Sylvester McCoy. His extensive television credits include regular roles in the BBC dramas Babyfather and Judge John Deed, and as Blamire in the final series of Robin Hood.
The remaining guest cast of Graceless will be very familiar to fans of Doctor Who and Blake’s 7. In The Sphere, Colin Spaull plays Uncle Lindsay, a ruthless casino owner on the Sphere, a seductive lure for gamblers and pleasure seekers where the sisters are reunited. Spaull is well known for his Doctor Who roles, first as Lilt in 1985’s Revelation of the Daleks with Colin Baker, and as Mr Crane in the new series episodes Rise of the Cybermen and The Age of Steel alongside David Tennant. Colin’s many other credits include Great Expectations, The Bill and The Inbetweeners.
Michael Keating is best remembered as Vila Restal, the wise-cracking thief in the iconic BBC drama Blake’s 7, and he joins the cast of Graceless as Earl Kreekpolt as Abby and Zara approach The End. Kreekpolt is a dangerous space pirate who will go to any lengths to acquire the sisters and their special powers for his own needs. Michael Keating previously appeared in the Big Finish Doctor Who stories The Twilight Kingdom and Year of the Pig, and other work includes the 1970s Doctor Who story The Sunmakers with Tom Baker, Casualty and many episodes of EastEnders as Reverend Stevens.
Rounding off the guest-cast for The End is Roger Watkins as Garstang, and Alex Mallinson.
The guest for part two, The Fog, recorded earlier in the year, includes Patricia Brake and David Warner.
Written by Simon Guerrier and directed by Lisa Bowerman, Graceless will be released in a three-disc CD boxset on 31st October, and is currently available for pre-order on CD and download.
Big Finish is pleased to announce Graceless, a three-part original mini-series that will reunite the time-travelling tracer twins from last year’s Key 2 Time trilogy. Written by Simon Guerrier, Graceless re-introduces Abby (formerly Amy) and Zara, human constructs that were created by beings known as the Grace. Abby and Zara will find themselves alone in a dangerous universe, battling to stay alive. “How exciting to bring back Abby and Zara,” says writer Simon Guerrier on the return of the sisters. “Last time we saw them, Abby had joined an alien academy and Zara was living happily ever after with a nice chap called Pargrave. But Zara has an amazing knack for causing trouble…” Abby and Zara will once again be played by Ciara Janson and Laura Doddington. Executive producer Jason Haigh-Ellery said: “It’s great to be working with Ciara and Laura once more. They are such talented actresses and the opportunity to have them with us in studio again to tell original stories of the further adventures of Abby and Zara was too good to pass up.” As for what’s in store for Abby and Zara, Simon Guerrier teases: “In the previous stories both girls were influenced by those around them. Now they're on their own, learning to use their powers and making terrible mistakes along the way. They're powerful and naive and tend to act without thinking, which makes them very dangerous indeed...” Confirmed guest-stars so far for the three-part series are David Warner and Patricia Brake. Emmy-award winning David Warner is well known for numerous film and TV roles, including Time Bandits, Tron, The Omen, Titanic, Star Trek and most recently as Kenneth Branagh’s father in the hit BBC series Wallander. Patricia Brake is best known for her roles as Ingrid Fletcher in Porridge and as Gwen Lockhead in Eldorado, and has appeared in many popular British TV series including EastEnders, Holby City, Z Cars and as Viv Baldwin in Coronation Street. Directed by Lisa Bowerman, Graceless will be available in a three-disc box set from October, and is available to pre-order now. The series will be launched at the Hurricane Who convention in Orlando, taking place from the 29th-31st October. For more information on the convention, go to Hurricane Who's website.
Title: Experience Author:tromana Rating: T Characters: Amy/Zara Disclaimer: I may be part of canon, but it’s still not mine Summary: Zara was used to being the innocent, naïve, eager to please one. Notes: This was written for hoshinekoyasha in a LiveJournal meme. The prompt was “think I should know how to make love to something innocent.” A very vague interpretation of the prompt though.
Title: There Is Healing Author:tromana Rating: T Characters: Amy/Zara Spoilers: Key 2 Time Summary: Zara cannot remember the day she was born. Disclaimer: Me? Own Big Finish (and Doctor Who)? Nope. Notes: Forced to write this by hoshinekoyasha. Blame her.
