We so loved making these! Great writing. And Simon Callow’s snoring acting made me cry with laughter.

Friends! This is a big week! My first official BBC Doctor Who story is out Thursday!

DOCTOR WHO: WHAT STILL REMAINS is a Seventh Doctor and Ace adventure, read by Ace herself, @sophiealdred.bsky.social!

Available for pre-order on CD or digital audio. www.penguin.co.uk/books/464137...
Doctor Who: What Still Remains cover. Coming August 7th, 2025 Sophie Aldred reads this gripping new adventure for the Seventh Doctor and Ace. The TARDIS materialises on a research station, locked in a state of temporal displacement on the surface of Volkoff Epsilon. The station’s human crew are engaged in the study of a mysterious artefact they call ‘the remnant’. Apparently a source of unlimited power, it could be the solution to Earth’s energy problem. Yet the station’s time barrier has become disrupted, leaving the crew confined with no way out. The Doctor realises that both he and Ace - and the TARDIS - are now also trapped by the time displacement. What is the secret of the tiny, spinning artefact? Why have half the base’s personnel already disappeared? And what lurks in the shadows, threatening to overwhelm first Ace and then the whole of Earth? Sophie Aldred, who played Ace in the BBC TV series, reads this tense and atmospheric thriller by bestselling author Adam Christopher.

Extremely proud to be able to confirm that I made a very small contribution to ACE JACKET: THE INSIDE STORY by the wonderful @sophiealdred.bsky.social

The book is available now via Chinbeard Books!

More thoughts in the second pic.
My childhood hero who inspired me from an early age to fight for what is right and stand up against bilge bags and toerags. A woman who continues to be an inspiration now I'm older and know just how right on and savvy she is in real life too. I first met Sophie in the flesh by accident, walking down the street in Edinburgh. I broke my longstanding rule for the first and only time, as I couldn't NOT quietly say hello and tell.her she's awesome. To my delight she stopped for a quick natter. We met again a few years later just before the world stopped for Covid, and then again earlier this year, when she told me about her new book. I mentioned my Ace inspired jacket in Happiness Patrol pink and her eyes lit up - suddenly she was as excited as I was meeting her! Hopefully our paths will cross again in the future. I'd love to sit down for a proper chat one day. What a legend, and I am so so honoured to now be a tiny part of her legacy. 💙💙

Saturday June 7th is the launch day for @sophiealdred.bsky.social 's new book. 'Ace Jacket,' for which I and over 60 others have written pieces in response to one of the badges on Ace's jacket. All profits go to Autism charities. Do pick up a copy! The badge I chose is the magnifying glass.

And, of course, Ace’s defining moment of beating up a Dalek with a baseball bat. As @sophiealdred.bsky.social reveals this might be in the top three moments of her life!
