LAST SUMMER, 11 YEARS after filming wrapped on The Sarah Jane Adventures, Anjli Mohindra and Daniel Anthony were reunited for recording on an audio series for Big Finish: Rani Takes On The World. Volume one, Beyond Bannerman Road, sees an older Rani (who now has a successful podcast) investigating a flying saucer, a luxury island resort, and a haunted restaurant – with Clyde and mum Gita (Mina Anwar) in tow.
“She’s a freelance journalist who can’t quite help but keep being led on a trail to discovering alien meddling and having to sort it, basically,” Mohindra tells SFX.
Meanwhile, the boy who loved sketching superhero The Silver Bullet has made a career from it. “He’s matured – for the most part,” Anthony says. “His art is still a big factor in his life, and he’s doing well.”
It was a happy reunion – and a seamless one. “I was like, ‘Oh god, what does Rani sound like 10 years later? What’s her interaction with Clyde going to be like?’” Mohindra says. “Then we started doing a scene and it was like that decade in-between hadn’t happened.”
“It was like no time had passed,” Anthony concurs. “The chemistry was back – we just bounced off each other.”
