We are THRILLED to announce that Doctor Who legend Sylvester McCoy has agreed to star in our upcoming audio series Cops and Monsters: The Year of Peace.

Sylvester will be playing the role of Sir Malcolm Sinclair and more details will be revealed in due course…

Well known as the Seventh Doctor in DOCTOR WHO classic series, he was also delighted to be invited back into TALES OF THE TARDIS to celebrate the series’ 60th Anniversary, and THE POWER OF THE DOCTOR celebrating Jodie Whittaker’s finale. And let’s not forget the FIVE(ISH) DOCTORS REBOOT in celebration of the series’ 50th Anniversary. The character is also alive and thriving in his Big Finish audio recordings.

You may also have enjoyed him as Igor in Rob Zombie’s latest telling of THE MUNSTERS for Universal;  or as The Umbrella Man in HEARTSMITH; as The Old Man of Hoy in Lana Wachowski’s cult series SENSE 8, or Dr Huggins in Julius Berg’s psychological thriller THE OWNERS for which he won the Best Actor Award at Frightfest Film Festival 2021.

Oh, and he was in THE HOBBIT you know! Giving his ‘Radagast the Brown’ in Peter Jackson’s THE HOBBIT trilogy.

 His TV work ranges from the infamous KEN CAMPBELL ROADSHOW to the Hermit of Hazelnut Cottage, a role written especially for him, in BBC TV’s ever popular FATHER BROWN.  As Archie in the ever loved STILL GAME or as Rab C Nesbitt’s lunatic brother, living in his wardrobe!

Playing the Fool to Sir Ian McKellen’s KING LEAR at the Royal Shakespeare Company took him from Stratford upon Avon onto World Tour; and he is proud Adrian Mitchell wrote the title role in his THE PIED PIPER for him at the Royal National Theatre.

 He is currently filming his memoir,  WHO IS THE REAL McCOY, with Film Stories to be released later this year.

Our crowdfunding campaign for the series will be launched in the coming weeks and you’ll be invited to be involved!
