with both Christopher
Eccleston and Joe Ahearne.
Immediately after their work
on the revived series, the pair
were reunited for an ITV
Studios one-off drama. Ahearne
wrote and directed the "darkly
satirical tale of atheist parents
[played by Eccleston and
Susannah Harker] posing as
believers to give their daughter
a place at a Catholic school."
The production was awarded
the best TV movie and best TV actor prizes at the Rome Fiction Festival. Perfect Parents (scored by Murray Gold) was shown at
Christmas 2006 - it also starred David Warner, and another nine Doctor Who cast and crew connections:
- Harker voiced Clare Keightley for Big Finish's Shada, and Anya for Eye of Darkness (2015)
- Andrew French (Stephen) voiced Obingo for The Ghosts of Gralstead (2014), Beltempest for Original Sin, Muren for The Eternity Cage (both 2016), the Racnoss Consort for Empire of the Racnoss (2017), and Warren Calder for The Sleep of Death (2019)
- Albert Welling (Teacher) played the Fuhrer in Let's Kill Hitler
- Lesley Manville (Sister) depicted Heather Hartnell in An Adventure in Space and Time
- Lucy Hassan (Teller) was a Patient in New Earth, and Guest in Voyage of the Damned
- Graham Walker was also the film editor on all five of Ahearne's episodes for Series 1
