ATA Girl, created by Louise Jameson and directed by Helen Goldwyn, was the first release in our Big Finish Originals range. The forgotten heroines of World War Two were finally given a voice in this new series – and you can now find it on Audible.

ATA Girl is a drama inspired by the real women of the Air Transport Auxiliary during WWII. From the UK and beyond, a hundred and sixty eight female pilots, alongside the men, transported a vast range of aircraft from the factories to the squadrons, sometimes flying in perilous weather conditions and without radios or instrument instruction.

One in ten ATA pilots died.

Told as a series of reminiscences from (fictitious) former pilot Amelia Curtis, the stories aim to honour these unsung heroes of WWII, whose shared passion for flying contributed so much to the war effort and who represented one of the first examples of ‘equality in the work place’ for women in the UK.

Cicero, the second release in the Big Finish Originals range, is a full series following on from the pilot released in February 2017. Starring Samuel Barnett, the brothers Cicero return for several more legal cases in Ancient Rome…

Rome, 80BC. An age of bloody civil war and dictatorship is at an end.

In its turbulent aftermath, an ambitious young lawyer, Marcus Tullius Cicero, is beginning to make a name for himself. But does he have what it takes, and can this new era of peace and prosperity truly last?

The Roman world is on the brink of revolution. The age of Caesar is drawing near. And Cicero will have to do everything he can to survive the storm.

Jeremiah Bourne in Time, the latest release of the Big Finish Originals, is a time-travel comedy written by The Young Ones’ Nigel Planer and will be released on Audible tomorrow. 

Jeremiah Bourne is a boy with a remarkable gift. He can travel in time. Not by using a time machine, or stepping through a dimensional portal. It just happens to him, as though by accident. One minute he’s in the present day, the next, he’s a hundred years in the past, standing in the London of 1910.

"Good stories have always been at the heart of Big Finish – and I hope our listeners will agree that we have created new and exciting series which will truly be original in our Big Finish Originals range,” says Jason Haigh-Ellery, Big Finish chairman and executive producer.

Coming out this September in the Big Finish Originals, Shilling & Sixpence Investigate finds Desmund Shilling (David Warner) and Lavinia Sixpence (Celia Imrie) attempting to solve a murder, but the truth will come to light…

February 1939. Desmund Shilling arrives in Morlington Hill, deep in the heart of Cornwall, having been given the post of Head of English at Morlington School for Girls by the hearty headmistress Lavinia Sixpence.

Not far away, at Boothby Hall, Inspector Cribbage (Nigel Fairs) and Sergeant Salt (Max Day) are investigating the horrific murder of Lord Pluck (Samuel Clemens) – who is to blame? His grieving widow, Lady Penelope (Abi Harris)? His impetuous son, Viscount Robert (Matthew Waterhouse)? The no-nonsense cook (Rebecca Crinnion) or the handsome young school caretaker Joseph (Radley Mason)?

Miss Sixpence and Mr Shilling mount their own investigation, and very soon, horrible truths come to light…
