Guy revealed all the details in last month’s Vortex magazine: “It’s entirely thanks to Eve Myles that Blind Terror came about. The idea was actually floating about for a while before it was one of what became known as the Big Finish Originals.

“It was purely because I had become the go-to person to write horror stories for Torchwood. Eve had said she enjoyed what I was doing and liked my scripts and we’ve become friends. She effectively said to Scott, ‘Get Guy to write an original horror series, and if you do, I’ll star in it.’

“Scott then went to Big Finish and explained the situation, and when the answer came back, it was, ‘Alright then – do it!’ So it’s really down to Eve herself.”

And Eve Myles told us about playing this new character, very different from her more usual role for Big Finish as Torchwood’s Gwen Cooper: “Kathryn is an intriguing character as she’s incredibly gentle, but she’s broken, and yet she’s still very assertive though lost and grief-stricken. It’s lovely to be working on something completely different, from Gwen being so strong, physical and in the midst of the action, to find the lovely Kathryn in a rather strange world that she’s very happy to be in.

“It’s a really complex story, and that’s what I like, it’s not black and white. It isn’t a horror. It isn’t a thriller. It isn’t sci-fi. It’s its own genre – it’s Blind Terror. It’s layered, it’s complex and it’s intelligent.”
