Jean Marsh Remembered by Sylvester McCoy, Sophie Aldred and Simon Guerrier
Jean Marsh passed away on the 13th April 2025 at the age of 90. She was a reknowned actress both in the UK and abroad, having worked in TV, film and theatre.
For Doctor Who fans, she is best remembered for her roles as Johanna in The Crusade, Sara Kingdom in The Daleks' Masterplan, and Morgaine in Battlefield.
She reprised the role of Sara on audio for Big Finish in The Companion Chronicles and Early Adventures ranges.
Writer Simon Guerrier joins us for this episode of the podcast, and shares some of his memories of the times he spent with Jean.
We'll also discuss his Sara Kingdom trilogy, which features the stories, "Home Truths", The Drowned World", and "Guardian of the Solar System". There'll be spoilers, so if you haven't heard them, we recommend you grab them from the Big Finish website and have a listen to them first. They are fantastic!
We also have some special tributes to Jean from her Battlefield co-stars, Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred. Thanks to them both for joining us.
Theme music by Joe Kraemer.
