Has anyone heard any word about another Early Adventures run after series 5 wraps up next month? They are without doubt one of my favorite of BF's ranges and I'm hoping they aren't ending

They've been recorded, I believe, but not officially announced yet.

The announcement for Series 5 was back in January this year so I was going to give an answer of "oh..probably in a couple of months", but then I scrolled back through the news feed to find Series 4 was announced in April last year... 😳

I figured since the EAs usually drop in the end of a year they would announce S6 as 5 is wrapping up... plus I didn't think they'd end the line 'uneven' like that (more of 1st than 2nd etc)
I'm glad it's just waiting for the announcement, I love Frazer's impersonation of Troughton, and always want more lol.
(I wouldn't even mind a couple CC-styled audios of 2nd and Jamie post-War Games on missions.. I know that's a contentious part of the timeline but if Hines's voice ever really gets lower they can always say it's just older Jamie!)

The Fourth Doctor Advenutres were only a year or two ahead in terms of pre-orders at that point ) Also, while I'm here - what have we seen confirming that Series 6 has been recorded, cwm? I remember there was a Tweet with Frazer recording recently, but I think another recent Tweet suggested that recording was for the next Second Doctor Companion Chronicles set?

An actor's definitely revealed they had a part in an as yet unannounced Early Adventure this summer- "The Home Guard".

That's good to hear. I just looked into this myself and was surprised that there wasn't a 2nd Doctor set announced. I realize that with William Russell and Jean Marsh no longer able to do EA's that it makes first Doctor ones difficult to do unless you go fully Steven/Vicki or they finally bite the bullet on Ben/Polly first Doctor EA's, but we still have Fraser, Anneke, and Wendy willing and able to do these, so it should be easier to produce second Doctor EA's. It saddens me that season 5 is retired for now, but there's still loads of potential for season 4 and 6 stories (or even 6B!)
Actually, thinking about it, I still wouldn't mind a pre-Unearthly Child EA with Carole narrating and playing Susan and Peter Purves as the Doctor. I don't think it's somewhere they should go a lot, but I wouldn't mind just one. I'd like to see someone really bring out that period when the Doctor could be kind of nasty.

I'd love a Season Zero boxset or mini-series, either full-cast or in the EA style. Not sure who would be playing Susan and the Doctor in them if BF chose to do a set, though - I'd prefer it to be Carole for Susan, certainly.

We can still hope that Jackie Lane will come on board, or that she'll give her blessing for another actress to step into the role of Dodo.

Wasn't there a photo of Carole Ann Ford & William Russell entering a recording studio a few months ago? Has the project ever been revealed?

Not sure if it's been picked up anywhere else, but there's a line in the latest Vortex (125) in a piece about the upcoming two November releases - Series 6 - which which notes the following...
"Short Trips producer Alfie Shaw will succeed David Richardson as producer of The Early Adventures range from 2020 onwards, with two stories being released each year."

I love this range so very good to know it has a future. But only two stories a year, not four.

I’m a little sad that these are being reduced in number. What with the Companion Chronicles only being released once a year now (and the last one has slipped back in the schedules) there doesn’t feel to be as much first and second Doctor content coming out. Oh well, I’ll forgive BF if the two releases each year have their episode count increased from 4 to 6!

It's a shame they are going down in number. I've really enjoyed the range so far. Elliot Chapman has been a highlight.
