An actor who joined Big Finish during this time was Ian Brooker, who went on to perform in many Big Finish productions, including Dalek Empire, Cyberman and Pathfinder Legends.
Ian joins us to talk about his career, how he came to be working for Big Finish, and what else he has been doing in his ongoing acting career.

Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 57 minutes and 59 secondsThis time we examine the two Big Finish Rani releases... The Rani Elite featuring the Sixth Doctor and Peri, and Planet of the Rani featuring the Sixth Doctor once again, but with audio companion Constance Clarke.

So for those who love the classic era Rani or the recent bi-generated iteration, here is a Rani that you may never even knew existed.
Will these Doctor Who stories stack up and finally give the Rani some worthy adventures?
