Doctor Who actor cameo in film from York university graduate

Director and actor Jayden Robinson, 22, a recent journalism graduate from York St John University is the man behind Triesverse: Cataclysm, which premieres at the Savoy Cinema in Doncaster on Saturday, August 2.

The film was shot across York, Doncaster, and Nottingham and is the latest instalment in the Triesverse action-comedy series which Jayden said features a small appearance from Paul McGann, who also recorded an exclusive message for the audience attending the premiere.

The TV, film and theatre actor from Liverpool is best known for roles as “I” in the 1987 independent British film Withnail & I.

He also potrayed the eighth Doctor in a 1996 Doctor Who TV movie, and the BBC drama serial The Monocled Mutineer.

Jayden Robinson said: “I’m over the moon to see the series I started working on as an 11-year-old has reached heights such as this.

“I can confidently say that I have never worked as hard on anything in my life so far, and I am ecstatic to show everyone how we bring this wacky world to a close.”

Beginning with Jayden Tries: The First Movie in 2016, Jayden said the low-budget series has developed a following for its self-aware humour, eccentric characters, and expanding mythology.

Triesverse: Cataclysm forms part of a two-part finale and is described as the franchise’s most ambitious entry yet.

Izzy Jeeves, who plays Izz Fury, said: “As someone who joined the Triesverse more recently than other performers, I feel very honoured to be a part of such an incredible project.

“Cataclysm has been so much fun and a very fulfilling experience, introducing me to so many great people.”

Daniel Chapman, who portrays the lead villain, said: “Triesverse: Cataclysm has been an absolutely incredible experience, filled with action-packed drama and a highly emotional core which is rarely seen in films of its genre.”

Ethan Stringer, who appears as himself, said: “Working on this film has been a truly wholesome experience, making films and memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

“I can’t wait for people to see our latest addition to the narrative.”

Following its theatrical premiere, the film is expected to be released on the Jayden Robinson Media website shortly afterwards, making it accessible to fans worldwide.

Triesverse: Cataclysm will receive a special limited-edition theatrical premiere at The Savoy Cinema, Sir Nigel Gresley Square, Waterdale, Doncaster on August 2.
