Well, between this and the Jackie Tyler stories that's next year's Short Trips subbed for me. Short of Paul and Yee Jee in an audio together as Eighth and Charlie it's probably the closest we'll get to a new story with Eight and Chang Lee. And isn't there still an as yet to be announced story with Daphne Ashbrook where the recording was teased on social media? Another pairing methinks.

That really surprised me because I was expecting the, to announce an Eight and Ruth Matheson story rather than this because of the tease earlier in the year. So far I want every short trip that's been announced for next year. If we're to believe the teases, on top of he Two Jackie stories and the Eight and Charlie Sato story, we should also be getting three Sixth Doctor stories (The two already announced and the Constance one that was teased) and of course a Ruth Mathewson story. That's something I certainly can't turn down.

A story read by Nicola Bryant (she's got a phonebook voice), a dark fairytale read by Bonnie Langford, two Jackie Tyler stories and a Charlie Sato story announced so far? That's me sold. Add in the Daphne Ashbrook story (this is the first I've heard about the Constance story) and SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY! Interesting to see they're shaking up the rotation order as well.

I can't quite remember if they revealed the Constance one before or after the Daphne Ashbrook one but they teased it in much the same way.

After all, it’s not strange that people can have similar sounding names that are actually different!

I think it's odd that Universal don't let Big Finish use the characters, they could easily make a bit of money by renting the characters out so to speak rather than just keeping them to themselves out of use and gathering dust.

I thought Fox owed the rights. Probably, I just said Universal because someone in an above comment said that so I wasn't gonna argue with it or check.

Wow I really enjoyed this! {Spoiler} Did anyone else catch the references to The Eleventh Hour and Day of the Doctor towards the end?

I was quite surprised by how much I enjoyed this! I've only heard The Screaming Skull (the episode from The Worlds of Doctor Who) featuring Charlie so I'm not really that aware of the character, but he made a good first impression here. I'm really happy they addressed a continuity issue that I didn't even realise was an issue until they fixed it here! It's always nice when Big Finish come up with little explanations to explain away those little problems I also liked the tease for the follow-up story to this. We already new that Daphne Ashbrook had recorded a Short Trip as Ruth, and it's nice to see that hers will be a sequel to Charlie's. I'm also wondering whether this will tie into the current story thread in UNIT - The New Series with the Auctioneers...

Quite enjoyed that. Nice to see some little continuity references. Look forward to the follow-up.
