Two siblings mourn the loss of their mother. But not because she was a good person. No one else sees her in the same way as they do. Until a little man in a book store coffee shop gives them the chance to discover the answer the question that can no longer be answered.
Who really was the monster that became their mother?
This is an unofficial story set in the Doctor Who universe and made for fun. It is not, nor will ever be monetized.

62. LISA BOWERMAN - The First Big Finish Hero
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 33 minutes and 1 secondLisa Bowerman's first foray into the Doctor Who was in 1989 as Kara in the final story of the original television run. It was in 1998 however, that she took on one of the "wilderness years" most iconic characters for Big Finish, Professor Bernice Summerfield.
Originally created for the Virgin New Adventures range by Paul Cornell, Benny was the character Big Finish turned to when their first attempt to acquire an official Doctor Who license from the BBC.
It is our privilege to have Lisa with us for this edition of The Sirens of Audio to talk about taking on the role of Benny in those early days, how the character has lasted so long, and her other roles with Big Finish as actor and director for ranges such as The Companion Chronicles, The Early Years, The Lost Stories, Torchwood and Jago & Litefoot.
We also discuss some of the projects Lisa has been involved with outside Big Finish.
Thank you so much for a fascinating discussion Lisa!
