Doctor Who: Azurine
Project Overview
Men have fought for it. Planets have fallen over it. Entire cities have been built from it. And now, one has landed into the backyard of someone who desperately needs it.
Wealth, luxury, and dreams can all come to whoever possesses it.
If only they can hold on to it.
This story is a farce, so bring your humour and ham to it.
The Doctor Who Audio Dramas has been producing for over 40 years, and we are now casting for episode 205: Azurine
We do offer a small amount of pay for these roles, but the BBC doesn't really like us doing that. So if you want to forgo payment, please note that in your audition.
Those selected will be required to record their lines using their own equipment and submit them by a deadline, as well as be available to quickly re-record any lines deemed necessary by the director. Please do not audition if you are not able to meet this commitment. Nothing is more frustrating than someone taking a role and then not following through with it.
If you have any questions, please send an e-mail to [redacted]. We will be happy to assist you.

The underground group known as The Lopers do not exist. They definitely do not lurk in shadows of Knightstowne, feeding off its luxuries like rancid parasites. And if they did, they definitely wouldn’t be led by Aldous Baxter-Marshaven, a gentleman of exquisite breeding and culture that may or may not harbor a dark, mysterious past. Has a absurdly over-the-top and affected posh accent which is later revealed to be utterly fake. (Dialogues 50)
Lopers? Lopers?!? Obscene! Slanderous! WE are the rightful inhabitants of Knightstowne, and your very presence here is an insult!
A highly popular Holo-Vid actress whose absurd and terrible films keep the populace occupied. She may or may not be a real person. One thing is for sure: if she is an artificial corporate creation, as rumors persist, then whoever programmed her overclocked her hammy acting capacity by a ludicrous degree. (Dialogues 10)
Delightful as that would be, I have a better idea. Why don’t you get out of that bath, get dressed, and help me out on a very special mission that only you can accomplish?
Eberly Knightston’s right hand woman. Loyal only to profit, she finds herself overseeing the day-to-day operations of Knightston Industries, keeping their coffers full, and ensuring that her boss’s single-minded desire for Azurine doesn’t get in the way of good business. Cool, calculating and blessed with an acid wit. (Dialogues 79)
And what’s so bad about selling out? Good evening, gentlemen. My name is Darrow. I represent the interests of Knightston Industries and we understand you've recently come into a significant amount of Azurine.
A good natured citizen of Lowden’s Gap, and the world’s most doting husband. Dean wants nothing more than to provide a happy and healthy home for his wife Noelle, and the arrival of Azurine into his life seems like a dream come true. A people pleaser if ever there was one, Dean just wants everyone to be as happy in their lives as he and Noelle are in theirs. But that pliable, easygoing nature of his, as well as his new found good fortune, threaten to bring him more trouble than he could possibly imagine… (Dialogues 55)
Well, uh, you can bet I'll be keeping that in mind! (sniffs the air) Say, is that Noelle's Infamous Pot Roast I'm smelling? Must be time for dinner.
CEO of Knightston Industries. A decrepit, hollowed out husk of an old man who only comes alive in the presence of, or possibility of attaining more, Azurine. It is his singular obsession, and he will do anything within his considerable resources to gain even a fraction more. (Dialogues 74)
ENOUGH!!! I do not care to listen to any more of this! All I care about is getting my Azurine, and if you come in here again talking to me about anything else, I swear I will strangle you with my bare hands!
A Lowden’s Gap resident who has taken the position of overseer of the workers, Ergalt runs things in Lowden’s Gap on behalf of Knightston Industries. Dedicated to making his goals to the point of monomania, he is a ruthless taskmaster who sees his fellow townspeople as mindless cattle to be herded. It would appear that the stress of leadership has seemingly made him rather unstable; he tends to fly into a psychotic rage whenever he is even remotely questioned… which means that Gav is a particularly galling fly in the ointment for him. (Dialogues 28)
Fine. Fentwood, there was a sinkhole on your property and your house was destroyed. Feel free to take a half day.
A fellow worker and the town sad sack, Fentwood is a born loser if ever there was one. While he does everything in his power to keep his head down and maintain his dignity in the face of overwhelming misfortune, nothing ever goes right for him, and he’s basically been conditioned to expect the worst. To that end, he spends far more of his time than he’d prefer trying to keep Gav in check, lest his revolutionary impulses serve to blow back on the other workers and make things worse for them than they already are. (Dialogues 38)
That’s right, B.A.F.F.U.L., you’re my only friend now. Literally the only thing left in the world. So, now that it’s just the two of us, level with me. What, exactly, did I do to deserve this? I’m a good person, a hard worker. I’m kind to animals. Or I would be, if there were any left around here.
A simmering cauldron of righteous anger, Gav has vowed to fight for the rights of his fellow workers, and to improve life in Lowden’s Gap. He bears a significant animosity towards Ergalt, whom he sees as a sellout and an oppressive tool of the system. Gav has dedicated himself to his fellow citizens, but remains constantly frustrated at their absolute indifference towards his efforts. (Dialogues 139)
Ergalt! Just walking into this bar like he owns it. He shouldn't be here, Fentwood. This is our place.
An amiable worker for Knightston Industries. A simple soul, relentlessly upbeat with a true love of Lowden’s Gap and an encyclopedic knowledge of its history, Simms can be a little bit overbearing when he gets an idea in his head. (Dialogues 76)
Oh, well. Actually, it's a funny story. You guys remember Harbie? Well, he just had a baby with his new wife and they've been looking for a live-in nanny. Well, my cousin Marc's on-again, off-again girlfriend Loreen... they're currently off-again, which is a real shame. Anyway, she went in for an interview.
A strange visitor to Earth come to Lowden’s Gap on a secret mission to retrieve the Azurine. She and her partner Vorley argue bitterly over every little thing, but it has to be said that of the two, Tappus is the smarter, more strategic thinker. Unfortunately for her, being smarter than Vorley doesn’t necessarily translate to actually being smart…has a very thick working class accent. (Dialogues 80)
We’ve arrived! Planetside once more! (pause) Right, still a dump!
Tappuses’ co-worker turned partner-in-crime. Just as incompetent as Tappus but he is additionally hampered with a certain high strung nature that tends to cause far more problems than it ever solves. Has a very thick working class accent. (Dialogues 69)
Keep it down, willya. I’m tryin’a get me head back on straight! Uggh, I hate usin’ transmats! Always feels like me noggin’s getting turned inside out!
