The adventures of Madame Vastra and Jenny

A possible spin-off series to Doctor Who, containing two characters from “A Good Man goes to War”. Steven Moffat said as soon as creating these characters he would love to create a spin-off series for them.

This pleases me greatly, as Madame Vastra seemed like possibly the coolest character I had ever seen- A Lesbian Silurian vigilante wielding Katanas in the 19th century?

Fuck yes.

THIS IS ALL I HAVE WANTED IN LIFE SINCE WATCHING THEM IN THAT EPISODE

“I instantly pitched it to Ben Stephenson [Controller, Drama Commissioning],” Moffat told SFX. “He just said ‘…Yes!’. And then I said ‘I obviously don’t have time to do this…’ [laughs].”

But all hope is not lost, because it sounds like we could be seeing more of them in future.

“I think I might revisit them,” reveals Moffat. “They were great fun to write. Obviously the first person to think about a spin-off was me, when I was writing ‘A Good Man Goes To War’… A Victorian Silurian? Her lesbian maid? Come on!

“I was pleased by the reaction to them, but not surprised. They really cut through as characters, given how little screentime they had. I certainly wouldn’t be averse to them returning. It’s just a thing that worked, isn’t it? I love that Victorian setting, and having kicked it out of Sherlock Holmes I can always kick it in somewhere else!”
