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!”

I would watch the hell out of this. Shame we’ll almost certainly never see it. :-(

WELL MOFFAT DOESN’T HAVE TIME TO WRITE IT GIVE IT TO A FEMALE/GENDERQUEER WRITER. Then maybe they won’t end up loosing all their badass agency in favor of letting some man save them and or get fridged to further some dudes plotline. Just saying.
