Yes, I think it is my problem with the 8th Doctor stuff, its all end of the world blah blah blah. No i thoroughly agree,though i admire the attempt and i would still prefer anything Bf does to recent televised outings.I am sure writers and directors and producers have all learned from the attempt... I am all for large sweeping epics but prefer more intimate stories tbh. Don't agree with that (in bold) but I prefer the monthly ranges because it isn't all end of the world stuff every time.

But Scott Handcock said there was no Davros in this....you cannot be suggesting he could have been misleading us could you? That would be so very naughty of him!

Its Ok,do not worry its all turns out ok until the reality bomb and then those cracks appear 😂 And then it all turns out ok after that too. Is that the problem am having with the Time War there is no threat? It all gets Time Locked then unlocked.,rewritten etc etc etc. Give me a Talons or a Fang Rock type story Yes, I think it is my problem with the 8th Doctor stuff, its all end of the world blah blah blah. To be fair, this "The end of the universe is nigh" is a VERY common premise for Doctor Who in general.
Even Benny and the Warner Doctor had that. And NuWho has a ton of it. BF was just riding the wave (really looking forward to their promised change of pace for the 8th Doctor with more small scale character driven deep stories).
On the other hand, to be honest, nobody would give a hoot if it was "Kleinsteinach (small village where a friend is from) is in deadly danger of being wiped from history".... not that there was much history to start with...

Right,am still excited by this release. But am so hoping it’s NOT DALEK voice heavy given that Nick is writing two of them. I don’t mind Dalek voices but sometimes they can get a bit much for me personally.But am interested in how all this will play out and Mr Handcock reigned in Mr Briggs. We shall see,we shall see. Indeed. Agreed.

I want intimate i really do it says something that even during Ravenous a very small thing like Livand Helen having a shopping mall break affected me and stayed in my memory.Little things as they say mean a lot.

YAAAYYY!! for the 'Eighth Doctor end-of-the-world-stuff' (Assume the Time War generally is included in this.)
I'm also 3 volumes into Ravenous, The Time War and The War Master and 2 into Gallifrey TTW and I'm enjoying all the end-of-the-world stuff no end (if that makes sense ) One of the many many joys of Who/BF is how we can experience so many different styles of story and story-telling across the ranges.
For example, two days ago I was listening to the return of the Valeyard in the middle of the Time War with all its complexities and epicness. Then last night I was there in the Sixties for a part-narrated story with Vicki. And both were very satisfying experiences, expertly written and played, in totally different styles.
So I think the Eighth/Time War sets should be epic, universe in peril material - it will take a lot to push the Doctor to the brink, given what we know he's already seen and done by that point, but in the end he has to arrive on Karn and drink the elixir of war. Saving the Universe multiple times (in 16 episodes each ) is about what it will take imo and I'm loving these series; the more epic, the better.
(In fact it sounds like the series after Ravenous will be far less 'epic' and much more character exploration. I wasn't thrilled to read that tbh. But I have 'Doom Coalition' and 'The War Doctor' waiting for a rainy day so that will be OK when I want my fill of 'epic' )

Then....listen to more intimate stories. The War Master and Time War ranges are explicitly set in large sweeping epic settings. It's not like there's any shortage of Big Finish releases to enjoy. EDIT: Wow, yeah that was....definitely a reply to a previous page, not to the most recent posts in this thread

The press release said "final chapter of the War Master saga", does that mean Jacobi won't be back for War Master 5 - 8? Nick has stated pretty definitively before now (on the podcast I think) that there were only ever going to be four volumes in this series. He should change his mind.

Should he? Don't get me wrong I absolutely love Jacobi's Master and the War Master range is one of my favorites but I'd also be okay with a series that has a definitive ending like The Confessions of Dorian Gray(which I adore). As long as we still get as much Jacobi material as we are currently getting it would not bother me that much to be fair.

I’m happy with four box sets, as long as we occasionally get the odd War Master cameo in other series as well.

To be fair, the series already has a definitive ending with Only the Good, regardless of how many more sets Big Finish make. I’m very happy with just the four sets. The three released have been of such a high standard and I’m sure the fourth will be too. I would like Derek Jacobi to make more appearances in other ranges, though. He’s brilliant and definitely one of my favourite Masters.
