The Paternoster Gang, while it’s bound to be its own thing, could also fill that gap, at least partially.
So many of us have been eager for something to fill that gap for Victorian sci-fi and horror stories. The series came to an end earlier this year with Jago & Litefoot Forever.
In fact, they even encountered one member of the Gang in Jago & Litefoot & Strax! It was a hugely successful series that ran for thirteen box sets, plus numerous specials and crossovers. Jago & Litefoot featured the many adventures of two characters from the Fourth Doctor serial, The Talons of Weng-Chiang. This last one is the closest that would match what we’re looking for from a Paternoster Gang series, at least in terms of tone and stories. They’ve given us so many great original spin-offs already, including Dalek Empire, Gallifrey and of course, Jago & Litefoot. Honestly, on or off the screen, I can’t think of anyone better to handle such a series than the talented people working at Big Finish. Because the team are finally getting their own audio spin-off series from Big Finish! A natural successor to Doctor Who’s greatest spin-off While the Moffat era is now over, and thus, the chances of a TV spin-off series have been significantly reduced, fans are still in luck. It’s not surprising that fans have been waiting for a spin-off with this team for a long time. They were such a brilliant and distinctive team that it’s easy to believe that they were in across the whole of Moffat’s run, rather than just five episodes. It’s strange to think that they had last appeared on television in Peter Capaldi’s first episode, Deep Breath. Appearing in several stories on television, the combination of the intelligent and graceful Silurian Madame Vastra, her cockney wife Jenny Flint, and the ever aggressive Sontaran Strax, made for a memorable combination. The Paternoster Gang were a pretty popular team from Steven Moffat’s run on Doctor Who.
