Are the Tennant fangirls even going to know about it, or be able to afford it? Hopefully it gets a good amount of publicity and the fangirls don't go like "I DON'T LIKE AUDIO WE NEED HIM ON TV." You kids sure know what the fangirls love On a related topic, I always hate reading that when news like todays comes out - "It's only audio" or "Why not on TV?". It's very disprespectful. It seems to be exclusive to audio too - I don't remember every seeing a comment on a Doctor Who book saying "Why isn't this story on tv?" Probably because there are no performers in books, only a writer and an editor (and I suppose graphic designer for the cover too.)

Now the hard part, can they get Eccleston back as 9. I want it really bad he was my first doctor and he has so many stories to tell They probably will...eventually. If they can get Tom Baker to come back to Who, I'm sure they can get Eccleston. In about thirty years, I bet BF will be announcing the Ninth Doctor Adventures.

Looking forward to the audios but would've prefered the story's to be 2 hour format as the 60 minute format has hampered a few Fourth & Eighth Doctors stories in the past. I'd have thought one of the releases would've contained a classic monster but I'm glad DT & CT doing Big Finish as if there was any doubt our David wouldn't. In full agreement, but also, David Tennant rejoins Big Finish (and Donna's the companion I was rooting for).

Yes, but likewise audio doesn't have the hundreds of people who work on each and every episode of Who either. I don't get why these people think it's an either/or scenario. Do they honestly think mounting a multi-million pound sci-fi series is even remotely comparable to what BF do? That the BBC flip a coin to decide whether, say, Torchwood comes back on screen or on audio? Well, they probably don't think that if they'd take time to contemplate it but it doesn't make their entitlement any less frustrating when they post it on the official channels.

I hope there'll be a fair number of 2-parters on the horizon. EDIT: Well, this has probably been noted already, but the Doctor Who Hub page has been updated to include Tennant's face among the other actors. I admit it's kinda weird not having Chris Eccleston between him and John Hurt, but so be it. Only time will tell.

I'd have thought one of the releases would've contained a classic monster but I'm glad DT & CT doing Big Finish as if there was any doubt our David wouldn't. If the rumours are true and the reason Tom is on one-hour stories is purely financial, I'd imagine that is also why DT and Tate are on the same release model. A two hour story makes BF 15 quid. Selling 2 single discs is 22 quid. There's no way Tennant and Tate come cheap so BF will want to monetise their releases as much as possible, as quickly as possible. Besides, Tennant comes from the 45 minute Nu-Who era. It wouldn't be very representative to give him anything but the odd two-parter if and when the range picks up speed. I'm afraid I can only see that, like Tom and Paul's ranges, if the 10th Doc becomes an ongoing we're going to get more of the 4-parters sold as 2 seperate releases that have annoyed many in the 4th Doctor Range. Frankly, I'm glad BF haven't used this is as a chance to raise prices! I'm also sure this release doesn't need any classic monsters or returning elements. It's right to establish the range's status quo before having the continuity bleed in. BF have done the same for all their Doctor debuts from Sirens Of Time to Storm Warning to Destination Nerva - solid stories to set the tone then the fun and games later on. Oftentimes the classic monster return is to boost sales. This certainly won't need much help there!

I had lunch with a freind of mine today who is a big Who fan. A guy who I have been trying to get into Big Finish for literally 6 years and as we sit down for coffee today the first words out of his mouth were about 10 & Donna on audio and what was the best way to order? Then I mentioned the War Doctor on audio and got the response that he would have to order both. Crazy. Huge day for Big Finish.

I ordered two copies of the limited edition so that I could give one as a gift to turn a friend to that only is into the new Doctors into a Big Finish fan too. Have to start them out with what they think they like. Then slip in something new like Torchwood.

Has any of the previous limited Edition releases sold out? Only 1 I can think of is the vinyl light at the end. I don't see the fuss about complaining about something being limited when you have purchased. You should be happy about being one of the lucky ones to get 1 of the 5000. It's not as if the story will no longer available if it sells out. The normal versions will still be available. It's only the packaging that will be limited as the digital download version will still be available to buy(even when the cd version sells out) which will include the bonus documentary I am happy but that doesn't mean I have to be selfish about it. It doesn't stop me from feeling sorry for all those other fans of David Tennant's Doctor who may miss out on this lavish set. I really don't see being happy at being 1 of the 5000 lucky is being anyway selfish. They have made quite a few of these limited edition releases and you can get stil pretty much get all of them (excluding the vinyl edition of light at the end which was limited to 500). Even the highly popular light at the end is still available to purchase in its limited edition release 2 years after its release. If it means big finish don't have a warehouse full of copies lying around I'm all for it.

I think the 5000 run is designed to encourage preordering. The Tennant fangirls will panic at the thought of missing out on glossy booklets of their hero.

What's with the logo they're using for the box-set? It looks weird seeing ten with a classic who logo

It looks weird seeing ten with a classic who logo I think it's the approved logo, so no unique logo for the War Doctor, no diamond logo for the fourth etc - on the outside of the slipcase, if things follow SOP then There'll a reversible cover with the period appropriate logo.

Nah, Christopher Eccleston would be much harder to entice back than Tom Baker. At least with Tom Baker he enjoyed the role; Christopher Eccleston didn't.

That's not what I see when I look at what CE has said, it wasn't the role he disliked it was some of the people he had to work with.
I too think, that so long as BF and CE keep going, they will eventually meet, but yes, 20 years or more from now.

If he liked playing the Doctor, he would have continued despite any behind the scenes politics.

If he liked playing the Doctor, he would have continued despite any behind the scenes politics. Perhaps you would, he obviously differs from you. Example, I used to work for a major chain of stores years ago (I quit in 2003 for various reasons) and I LOVED my job, it was great. The actual doing and meeting and just experiencing of the job. And the company was bought by another company who changed upper management and pretty much made going to work hell. The job itself hadn't changed as far as my skills and enjoyment of dealing with the public but the background had and I had no way to change it (I wasn't the only one in that situation either) so I left. That job is still something I love and kinda still miss but...I see your point but it's still just YOUR point. We'll get him eventually.

That implies that working with people you don't get on with, even dislike, cannot be the cause of you disliking the work you do with them. And it is not consistent with things said both by CE and others involved.
In order for your conjecture to be true we have conclude that CE and others have misled us.
I just don't see it.

No your reply went ahead of mine, but I don't like quoting people all the time as this forums quote handling is cumbersome and lacking basic features. Sorry.
