Gotta love Man with Chips, almost up there with Pigbin Josh and Whizzkid in terms of pure iconography.

Think before you tweet. Say it over and over again like a motto. I'm surprised to see Mr Briggs react that way..and to talent, no less.
Whether Big finish announces it or some site leaks it, all this news does is further cement in the minds of newer listeners that Big Finish has the Real Goods. And truthfully, BF has to expect leaks from time to time from here on. As far as this newer (2015) listener is concerned, BF is leaving the smaller 'niche' bubble it's comfortably existed in and is, more and more, being recognized as a Main Line output for Doctor Who. Can you blame the press? That War Master bombshell sent shock-waves. You have the deified Tennant among your ranks, fellas. More people look at BF for the pulse of DW now. That means looking under BF's skirt every time it tries to go to the super market...so to speak, because everyone want to see now that't you got in store. Your stock is rising.

I (at this moment of writing at least) just don't care. Ah well.

Hopefully there is a limit to the number of times that Nick can get upset over this leaking, since there doesn't appear to be a limit on how many times this story can be leaked for the first time. :-) I'd be as happy to assume Nick is sharing a joke with Georgia on that very basis before I assume the worst.

I'm not terribly enthused about the range. I may have been moreso if we didn't already have quite a few ranges like Benny, Vienna, River and Charley and a host of Who ranges painting onthe same canvases of space hopping adventures. It's really going to need more of a hook to get me interested. I didn't think the episode on TV was much cop and Georgia's part wasn't that interesting outside of the continuity bait. I'm hoping there's more to the range than "we've got the rights and the actor was up for it".

The basic thing I understand is that Big Finish does not like to announce projects until they are in the bag. So many things can go wrong in the process and they have been burned in the past. I would really hate to be this writer if something does go south with this before it is finished. That only seems to be true when it suits them though. Unless McGann has already recorded all 16 Time War stories, which I doubt. In fact, today's Blakes 7 article admits none of the stories in Crossfire have been made yet and it's been available to buy for a while. So I don't understand why some titles get preannounced and others are kept under wraps until recorded. However, I'm really excited for this set. Especially if they can find a role in one of the stories for her husband, preferrably playing her father.

I guess the thinking is it's OK to announce more of what's already happened - so Time War 2-4 or B7 are OK - but not a totally new range. That's seemingly the difference. Extending an existing range people already expect to continue isn't as "bad" as revealing something BF wanted to launch with a bit of fanfare.

I really hope Nick's tweet was a joke, because if it isn't he has probably just alienated the lead star (at the very least). I'm sure she isn't desperate for the work and could just decide against doing it at all.
No, I'm sure he wouldn't be that silly. It must be a joke.
Cheers

I think he's probably just making a joke about a miscommunication/leak. Briggs has known the whole family for many years, I'm sure he ribs them about PD leaking the news, too. Briggs seems pretty professional to me, I just don't think he'd risk offending a family that now has three lead actors from three Big Finish ranges.

I'm guessing they'd worked a Timetable with Actors and Agents and the Writer's blown it up however as I said earlier if your lead performer is happy to confirm publicly you'd think so would an Exec, its a shame we'll never Vol 2 of the Inside Story cause this is "gold".

Regards mark687 Well, today's news is tomorrow's fish n chips wrapper, I guess. But I'd love to ask Paul Magrs if he'd agree with the posters who say Nick wouldn't be so unprofessional.

I just think that the nick comments has been a bit blown out of proportion. I personally wouldn't have put the comment on twitter and the tweet about Charley Pollard 2 review was a bit tetchy but I think people already panicking about not getting anymore tenth doctor adventures is a bit overkill. I'm pretty confident Briggs and G Tennant have their own little private joke about it. And if I'm wrong about it ( it happens sometimes 😂) I'm sure a little apology would be fine

I was only watching a young raven haired Georgia Moffet in "Why Didn't They Ask Evens?" last night whilst thinking to myself "Why Didn't They Announce Her Series?"
An now it has been, but not by Big Finish!
I look forward to hearing more about it and hope it will be her quest to find her father.
Unfortunately after feeling truly burnt with the last Charlotte Pollard boxset if Nick is writing it I will probably wait for the reviews before I think about buying it.

I hope this doesn't mean Georgia Moffett won't be working for Big Finish again. As others have said it is unfair to blame her for the leak.

Except she didn't announce anything. The Radio Times reported it. She simply linked to the story.

Well, this is quite the unsurprise. The idea was so obvious it was floating around well before BF got the New Series license. Add in the fact that this was confirmed months ago, and I'm not sure it's worth it for Nick to get bent out of shape (certainly not at Mrs. Tennant's expense.)

YES! I've been wanting to see a return of the Doctor's daughter.

Well, I'll have to hear more about this set before I decide whether it's worth buying. I'm not a fan of the episode she came from but it and the character had a lot of unrealized potential, so it's nice to see that it might finally be realized. I don't want a clone of the Doctor (even though that's pretty much exactly what she is), but I think the character arc of her attempting to live up to his expectations and beliefs would be a compelling story.
