Silurian detective Madame Vastra ( Neve McIntosh), her human wife, Jenny (Catrin Stewart) and Sontaran butler, Strax (Dan Starkey) are back in 12 interlinked full-cast audio adventures.

First introduced in Steven Moffat’s 2011 TV episode, A Good Man Goes to War, the popular characters star in four box sets, with the first due for release in October 2023.

The intergalactic investigators have new mysteries to uncover but somehow they all seem to have something in common. Who, or what, are the Trespassers?

The Paternoster Gang: Trespassers 1 is now available to pre-order as a collector’s edition 3-disc CD box set (+ download for just £19.99) or as a digital download only (for just £16.99), exclusively here.

Producer David Richardson said: “They’re back! I love this series – it just puts a huge smile on my face. What a joy to have Neve, Catrin and Dan back recording a whole new saga for the gang, beginning with a trio of escapist and witty scripts featuring an array of colourful characters. Simply put: 180 minutes of happiness!"

Praise for the first series, The Paternoster Gang: Heritage:

“High calibre storytelling. I can’t wait for the next arc to begin.”

– Sci-Fi Pulse

“A joy from start to finish, but there are tears and gulping and snot along the way. Embrace it all – more time spent with the Paternoster Gang will make your life much better”

– Warped Factor

“This is the Paternoster Gang fulfilling their potential. Neve McIntosh, Catrin Stewart and Starkey’s performances are as strong as ever.”
