We are delighted that Sophie Aldred is returning to the world of Cops and Monsters, playing the role of vampire Queen, Lady Audrey McDairmid, in our audio series “The Year of Peace”.

Born and raised in South East London, Sophie studied drama at the University of Manchester and worked in children’s theatre, working mens’ clubs and musicals before being cast as Ace, Doctor Who number seven’s feisty companion.

She is also well known for her work as a presenter, especially children’s TV, for her extensive voice work, her podcast, Sophie Aldred’s Ace Odyssey and she has published several books including a novel, At Childhood’s End and an anthology, Ace Jacket.

As pre-production ramps up, we hope to announce more guest stars and launch our crowdfunding campaign to raise funds to produce our 6 part series with B7 Media.

Sophie will join her Doctor Who co-star Sylvester McCoy throughout the series.

“Cops and Monsters: The Year of Peace” will be produced by Silly Wee Films and written by Roland Moore, Fraser Coull, Lindz McLeod, Lorna King, Amelia Nashe and Philip Lawrence.
