Maybe in the next set UNIT should take on Rick Astley? It’s a good possibility! We know he exists in it. They played never gonna give you up in Father’s Day! I thought it was a nice touch of symbolism.

Is there a specific reason why all of these boxsets apart from the second have had a foe or other elements from the parent show? I mean, I can't deny I'm excited about having Jacobi as the Master again, but I'd have thought BF would have wanted to establish it as a series in its own right. Narative and marketing. In that order. Also. Modern non show monsters can be found in Torchwood

So, this is going to be set after Death in Heaven. That means that Big Finish must have had the rights to set stories in and around the Capaldi era for a little longer than we originally thought, doesn't it? This was recorded around November last year (I think), and that's definitely before Capaldi left. Also, if this is set post- Death in Heaven, then Osgood is technically in the wrong costume (It honestly doesn't concern me that much )

It really is a great time to be a Doctor Who fan. Audio Watchdog, it's never a good time to be a Doctor Who fan

From memory there's nothing in Death in Heaven that suggests UNIT haven't encountered the Gaiman Cybermen before nor anything that says Osgood and Kate haven't met the Master before. It could still be set before it.

It says as much in the news piece "Although a first for the new UNIT team at Big Finish, Kate Stewart battled against the Cybermen in Doctor Who TV episode Death in Heaven. And now it’s time for round two!"

Surely that's the important bit? Big Finish has a long history with the BBC and are guaranteed to get the license expanded and extended. So I don't think the later would care when something was written or recorded, as long as it is released after.

If they didn't have the license when they wrote/produced/recorded a script set during that period of the show, it doesn't matter when was it going to be released, it's going to be illegal.

Technically, I suppose. But would it be any more serious than breach of contract? Which is why I brought up the long and ongoing relationship, which is the important thing. On the other hand, the BBC is a government institution, so things might apply differently. I'm not from Britain, so I wouldn't know.

But round about the time it was Recorded/ Announced Nick Briggs re-leased his Facebook Vid about the licence deal maybe it changed from that date, or it was a special permission deal like Vastra in Churchill Years is.

I'm not British either, and I'm going on a fairly rudimentary uni level understanding of contract law in Australia, so what I'm thinking might be completely off anyway Either way, it's definitely set after Death in Heaven and looks like it's going to amazing, and that's what's important at the end of the day

Again, that would have been recording date as opposed to the writing of scripts/casting/etc. But it all has to be cleared with the BBC, and like I said in my above post, all that really matters is that this sounds like it's going to be a great release, regardless of whether we know the licensing deals of Big Finish

Is that cast list complete? It doesn't say "more to be announced", but it looks rather sparse.

Another brilliant Big Finish cover. Such an interesting idea to make the War Master the UNIT scientific advisor.

Side note: Does anyone have a feeling they're going to off a main cast member in this one?

Side note: Does anyone have a feeling they're going to off a main cast member in this one? Maybe one or two hours, but I'm not sure I could handle four (though I'm sure others would be fine with it ) As for killing characters... I feel they will at some point, though possibly not just yet. While it could be a very interesting story device, I think the actors/directors/etc. enjoy working with each other too much to bare having one of them written out It'll be like when Liv or Helen is inevitably written out of the Eighth Doctor stories; no one really wants it to happen, but it will happen at some point.
