Neighbours actress Jackie Woodburne will star as a scientist in a new science fiction series called Night Terrace.

Night Terrace is an eight-part audio comedy series written by John Richards, Lee Zachariah and the team behind the Doctor Who podcast Splendid Chaps.

Woodburne - known for her role as Ramsay Street's Susan Kennedy - will play Anastasia Black, a scientist who used to save the world as part of a secret government organisation.

Now retired and seeking a quiet life in the suburbs, she is left surprised when her house starts travelling in space and time.

Whilst trying to find a way home, Anastasia will have to travel from the ancient past to the distant future - from pre-historic Melbourne to the edges of human understanding.

"After a TV sitcom about gay science fiction fans, a massively popular podcast about Doctor Who and a hit play about Eurovision, this seemed the obvious next step," said co-writer John Richards.

Night Terrace also co-stars actor and comedian Ben McKenzie and actor and singer Petra Elliott.

The project is currently running a Kickstarter fundraising campaign.
