I hope this will be good. I hope we get more of Charley the Adventuress in this I hope we get a trailer soon. I hope the cover will be exciting
I still have so much hope in my heart for Miss Pollard.
Oh and I hope those vague plans, mentioned on the podcast, for more Eighth Doctor and Miss Pollard adventures does happen. A boxset of new stories along side a re-release of their early adventures in multiple boxsets would be most welcome.

I'm still hoping for that one-off C'rizz CC to fill out a few more vagaries in his story that were rushed/overlooked when 2005 rolled into view.

I recently re-listened to the DU and the rest of the Eight/Charley season and I've been thinking about how much potential C'Rizz had that just wasn't achieved. Absolution completely didn't work for me because C'Rizz never had time to develop to the point that he would make some of the decisions that he made in that.

Someone should have figured out a consistent explanation for duration, as opposed to time, in a timeless universe. It was a big feature of the universe that was mostly ignored and then confusing as all hell. The entire -- is this a spoiler for a series this old? Probably but tough -- circular and repeating idea of time did not make any sense. It was almost karmic yet some remembered their previous lives and it didn't explain the Kroka (sp?), the zones or tie in with Scherzo's explanations of existence/evolution/duration (and there's an over rated story. Beautifully performed but if you look beyond that it's nonsense.) We've gone a bit off piste here I think

Cover and trailer now online! www.bigfinish.com/news/v/charlotte-pollard-2---trailerNot sure I'm a fan of the cover to be honest. And with the UNIT series and the Fifth Traveller also in this universe all featuring a James Joyce character who does indeed wear the face of James Joyce does that not mean there are all these James Joyce dopple gangers everywhere in the Doctor Who Universe 😂

I recall many interviews where the actor said they like audio because it didn't matter what they looked like. However, I doubt Big Finish would hire an actor to play a character and a different person to model the character in the covers (see their reasoning for the silhouette of Pertwee on the Time Trelor audios). So...does it matter or doesn't it? I guess it only doesn't matter for characters who would not make the titles.

I quite like the cover, esp the mysterious shadow figures and the alien chap with the blaster.

The trailer Nick played on the podcast made this one sound okay. As I'm not a fan of Ms. Pollard I will pass.

A companion chronicle style release would suit the character, with all those people he had saved within himself. A perfect opportunity to flesh out the character. I have a feeling that Big Finish now would do the Divergent Universe, so much better than they did back then. Just as they have been able to tell great stories in amongst periods of the television show that weren't very well regarded, thereby improving the source material, perhaps they can now do the same for their own audio adventures!?

Roll on March to find out if the other 50% is achieved. I am quite excited with the trailer and it is good to see they have given this second box set some love with a proper cover.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
I'm really looking forward to this. The darker, less colourful tone is going to be intresting and seems to be the series overall tone, which seems on par with Charley's experiences and will make her inevitable reuioun with Eight all the more bittersweet. Also, nicely meta - but Big Finish, we were happy to wait!
AND IT'S ALL WRITTEN BY NICHOLAS BRIGGS!

I think we'll probably see them reunited during the 2019 celeberations
