It’s been a while since we last heard from The Paternoster Gang but Madame Vastra (Neve McIntosh), Jenny (Catrin Stewart) and Strax (Dan Starkey) make their way once more through the foggy streets of the British capital in the first of four volumes in the Trespassers saga.  

Expect crime-fighting, comic capers and at least one corsage in these three brand-new, hour-long, full-cast audio dramas. Guest stars in this box set include Paul McGann (as the Eighth Doctor), Lisa Bowerman (as Ellie Higson), Beth Chalmers (as Miss Faversham) and Finlay Robertson (as Ambrose).  

The Paternoster Gang: Trespassers – Rogues Gallery is now available to own 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. 

Victorian England is home to the Great Detective, Madame Vastra, her resourceful spouse, Jenny Flint, and their loyal valet, Strax. Solving conundrums, fighting injustice and capturing criminals are all in a day’s work for the Gang – but the most dangerous threat is one that takes up residence undetected.  

There are trespassers in London, and they are coming to Paternoster Row…  

The three mysterious adventures in this box set are as follows:   

The Ghost and the Potato Man by Barnaby Kay  

When a criminal gang pulls off a series of impossible heists, Inspector Cotton calls upon the talents of the Great Detective to crack the case. Tipped off by Ellie Higson, the Paternoster Gang uncover a link to a baffling music hall act.    

While Jenny and Vastra chase down leads in London’s dangerous underworld, Strax finds a career on the stage is beckoning…   

Symmetry of Death by Dan Starkey   

Cases are mounting for the Paternoster Gang. Three mysteries call for immediate attention: a murder, a locked room conundrum, and some acts of random vandalism. But is there a connection?   

As Jenny goes undercover and Strax stakes out the suspects, Vastra finds an echo of the distant past which could be the key to the solution.   

Till Death Us Do Part by Lisa McMullin  

Jenny has decided she wants a wedding – a real wedding with Vastra, before their family and friends. But the viewing of a dress leads to misunderstandings and confusions, becoming ever more serious. The owner of the dress claims to have been jilted years before by a man both familiar and unfamiliar… the Doctor!  

As tempers flare, alien forces are at work – and what’s more, there could be a trespasser in Paternoster Row.  

Producer David Richardson said: “Rogues Gallery is a delightful run of stories. There’s something very cosy and heart-warming about being back at Paternoster Row, basking in the company of these characters. On top of that we have new characters coming in plus some returning favourites – Ellie Higson crosses over from Jago & Litefoot, still serving drinks while saving the world!”
