My own theory is that {Spoiler} Lady Christina's father has been replaced by a Slitheen.
Eh, it'd be a good twist, but it seems Big Finish is also playing the long game with Christina's history and how it affects her. I think we're in for little reveals.

Just listened to the trailer. If I'm honest it's still doing nothing for me. This one will definitely be a case of waiting to see the reviews.

The 'problem' for me lies somewhere in the blurb - 'Alas no David Tennant.' Michelle Ryan is a terrific actress and deserves better than to be playing a part that is perceived as secondary to a character not even present in this set. Lady Christina could be a really good character too, but being described as a 'mad woman with a gun' is a little too close to 'mad man in a box' to me. Doctor-lite. Hardly the way, in my view, to set her up as any kind of vital character in her own right. As I said, Michelle deserves better.
The above views are based purely on the trailer and promotional blurb, and the finished release may prove me entirely wrong.

I had hoped that the trailer would make my mind up either way...but it hasn’t. I am still firmly sitting on the fence with this release. And it is rather uncomfortable!
In a way I wish that Big Finish had put a CD run limit on this like they have done with Class because I suspect that would have swung it for me! I really enjoyed Jenny the Doctor’s Daughter boxset, so I expect I will enjoy this too, but...
...is she really traveling around in a red double decker bus like Auntie Iris!?

But that's a quote from Michelle herself, isn't it?

Don’t worry, you’re misinterpreting something there. Setting her up properly was a big thing for me. And I really love the script!

I will be getting this and I expect it to be good. I think the biggest problem will be that it will inevitably be compared to the Jenny release (spin off featuring a one-off female character from Tennant's era, plus very close release dates) and Jenny set the bar so high that this will have to be something extra-specially good otherwise it will suffer from the comparison.

I am glad that Big Finish put the first fifteen minutes on the latest podcast, it allowed me to make up my mind over this title.
