Rupert Young is my Favourite Doctor Who (2020)

The inimitable Noodle Snake recorded an amusing podcast which all began with her purchase of a Showmasters poster featuring our own dear Rupert.

Listen in to all the confusions of her Quest to work out why the poster credits Rupert with work in both Merlin and Doctor Who! This very website receives several honourable mentions!! I feel like we’ve punched through to the next level of fame!!! (Or was that infamy?)

Thank you kindly, Noodle mate! I was in need of cheering up today, for sure. ♥

Doctor Who: The Seventh Doctor: The New Adventures (2018)

Rupert features as Binkum Fray in one of four episodes in Volume One of the new adventures of the Seventh Doctor (Sylvester McCoy).

  • Episode 103: The Jabari Countdown
  • Director: Scott Handcock

The episode takes place during the 1940s, and while Rupert’s performance as Binkum Fray (aka the Lieutenant) is a great deal of fun, I’m afraid the character is a particularly benighted product of his time in terms of prejudices.

You can buy the CDs or downloads directly from Big Finish.
