Jodie Whittaker makes her Big Finish debut as the Thirteenth Doctor, alongside Mandip Gill as her companion Yasmin Khan, in Vampire Weekend, a brand-new full-cast audio adventure written by Tim Foley.  

Yaz has been busy travelling in time and space so is overdue a good catch-up with her friends back in Sheffield, and Gina’s hen do should be the perfect opportunity. The first problem is: the Doctor’s tagging along. The second problem is the vampire. 

Doctor Who – The Thirteenth Doctor Adventures: Vampire Weekend is now available to pre-order for just £9.99 (as a digital download to own) or £11.99 (download to own + collector’s edition single-disc CD), exclusively here. Please note: the collector’s edition CD is strictly limited to 1,500 copies and will not be repressed. 

It’s Gina’s hen-do and her Maid of Honour has booked a large manor in the Peak District. All her friends should be here – including Yasmin Khan, who’s been mysteriously quiet whilst away on her travels. 

But Yaz is bringing a guest. Someone who isn’t invited. Someone who might prove a little disruptive. 

The Doctor is joining the celebrations. Unfortunately, so is an ancient enemy… 

Alongside Whittaker and Gill, The Thirteenth Doctor Adventures: Vampire Weekend stars Daniel Walford as Daryl, Anna Crichlow as Zoya and Kat, Jeremy Ang Jones as Mason, and Mandi Symonds as Gina’s mum. 

Writer Tim Foley said: “I’m delighted to sink my teeth into a whole new era (vampire pun). We had a riot making this story – Jodie and Mandip could star in a sitcom as themselves, they’re so funny, and their chemistry is amazing.  

“Vampire Weekend is a darkly comic manor-house mystery – think Bodies Bodies Bodies or a northern Cluedo, smushed with a hen party you’re trying to get out of. I hope this tale captures the Thirteenth Doctor’s madcap, fast-paced energy – right before she’s launched into a brand-new series like a technicolour pinball. Enjoy the jokes, the mini quiche, and the paranoia. But watch out! There’s a mysterious bloodsucker on the loose…” 

Vampire Weekend is the first of twelve full-cast audio drama adventures for the Thirteenth Doctor and Yaz, set to release bimonthly from July. Big Finish listeners can save money by pre-ordering all twelve releases in a multibuy bundle from just £102 (digital download to own) or £126 (download to own + collector’s edition CD), exclusively from the Big Finish website. 

All the above prices (including pre-order and multibuy bundle discounts) are fixed for a limited time only and guaranteed no later than 30 September 2025. 

Please note that Big Finish is currently operating a digital-first release schedule. The mail-out of collector’s edition CDs may be delayed due to factors beyond our control, but all purchases of this release unlock a digital copy that can be immediately downloaded or played on the Big Finish app from the release date.
