Trivia / Big Finish Doctor Who 050 Zagreus

• Fake American: Nicola Bryant, who is well-known for playing American Peri Brown (and having her accent mocked because of it) actually does a passable American accent as Lady Ouida.
• Playing Against Type: A good deal of the companions, once you look past the surface.
  • Sarah Sutton (Nyssa) playing a scientist who's also a Communist spy.
  • Nicola Bryant (Peri) playing a sinister vampire.
  • Sophie Aldred (Ace) playing an anthropomorphic duck.
  • Elisabeth Sladen (Sarah Jane) playing an uptight schoolmarm.
  • Peter Davison (Fifth Doctor) playing a Jerkass, scaredy-pants clergyman.
  • Colin Baker (Sixth Doctor) playing a sinister vampire.
  • Sylvester McCoy (Seventh Doctor) playing an old lech.
  • Nicholas Courtney (the Brig) playing a bitchy, jealous, and angry TARDIS.
• Science Marches On: Dinosaurs having two brains has been debunked since this has come out, and confirmed to be a thickening of the spinal cord. This is thankfully not as embarassing as it could have been since the character who claims that dinosaurs have two brains is a native of the 1950s.
