"Hating on Briggs" is not a pasttime here. I haven't seen any evidence that is the case. People are allowed to post thoughts and critiques without being accused of "hating on Briggs". Fair enough, it was a flippant response of me. It's more I've generally noticed (and this is indeed perhaps on other forums than The Divergent Universe) is that....he seems to be...a bigger target than necessary. It's not just a matter of "This got delayed for XYZ", it's "This got delayed and it's cleeeearly because he's a lazy knob" which is the type of critiques I've seen against him. "This got delayed and it's because he's arrogant and thinks he's too good to not write" when at the end of the day I just see him as a writer like any other, wanting to do various stories and choosing to do so but delays with his other main BF job means things get delayed, just like other stories get delayed because writers are busy rather than just passing it off to other writers. But again: it was absolutely a flippant statement (and one that probably doesn't apply to TDU) and so I do apologise. I do tend to blur Facebook with other websites, it's an awful habit of mine! No worries. I actually enjoy most of his writing, too and I thought that Dark Eyes was amazing (and was actually the thing that really brought me over to the dark side ). Just do not ever mention "Exile" to me. But of course we are all human and make mistakes...
As for the "bigger than necessary target"- well, I myself am guilty of expressing my disappointment on this forum with some of the recent reactions of Mr. Briggs, however, I think I never went into rant or hate mode, I was just disappointed. However, the man has apologized and made up for it, so no hard feelings there. I am well aware that we are all humans with personalities and egos (even writers) and as such people do not exist in a vacuum.
I try to accept that everyone has bad days and bad moods, everything else would be a bit utopic.
I think the impression that people were unhappy here came about with all the recent changes (website) and the announcement of the price increase for downloads... it just happened at the same time so the waves were a bit higher than usual.
But I agree, this appears to be one of the most civil places on the internet. If you are shocked by things here, better keep away from certain other places...

He's fully included in our collective forum-love for all people and all things Big Finish (a bit of eye-rolling whenever 'Jekyll and Hyde' gets a mention not excepted ) Guilty, yer honour (don't start me off on Jekyll and Hyde!)! Actually I wasn't thinking of anyone in particular...
(And when it does come out I will definitely be adding it to my collection of BF classics.)

It's astounding how good Dudman can switch between the voices. It's also the first time I've heard his Twelfth which seems decent enough (though admittedly the weakest of the Doctor voices he's done). Can't wait until we hear his rendition of Whittaker's Doctor, The 13th Doctor Chronicles.

So it's very much possible that I missed something and it's already mentioned but from a quick look I don't think it has: Story synopses (Smallish ones at least) for The War Master: Rage of the Timelords are now up. www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/the-war-master-rage-of-the-time-lords-1870(Also if I technically shouldn't have posted this here then I do apologise as well).

So it is. Even though I already have it, I wrote to BF about it and got the following response from Sue:

Bit disappointed (still) by the lack of anonouncements over the past few months (bar Captain Jack v2 with Ol Sixie), we know there has been a lot of studio sessions
