I certainly hope so! There's always room for another page from 'The Diary of an Edwardian Adventuress' No.

Hope she does not turn up in this like she did in something else. By my reckoning, since Charley parted company with Sixie in the MR, she's only appeared in her own two box sets, 'The Further Adventuress' set with Eight, a couple of Short Trips and around half-a-dozen single episodes of 'specials' like 'The Legacy of Time'.
Say 20 individual episodes, tops, in 14 or 15 years! I might have missed something, but not many, so I really don't think 1.5 episodes per year on average is overused.

That does sound like quite a lot to me. Like everything around the Doctor, it's relative! And that's 20 individual episodes, not sets, so 4 is one old-size box set. But I really don't think Charley has appeared very frequently in recent years.
To take another of Eight's Companions as comparision, Liv has appeared in getting on for 70 episodes in the last 9 or 10 years since the character made her debut with him. Plus 6 full sets of 'The Robots' and I'm sure I've missed one or two others!

I think the problem is just that it feels as though she's the go-to companion for whenever McGann pops up in a set outside of his own range. Either that or he's solo.

Love all the Charley debate....when we don't have even a hint that ANY Doctor will have a companion, much less which ones! I had issues with her appearance in a certain story recently in terms of overshadowing someone else's moment - especially as we just heard her in Doom's Day weeks earlier - but I'm not getting too bent out of shape when if we took bets, I'd wager no companions will be in this set and it'll be solo Docs.

I'd rather hear Charley Pollard with the Eighth Doctor than some others he's been paired with. For me it seems 'traditional'.. if there is such a thing with Big Finish audios!

I mean realistically the only companions available are Charley and Lucie. Molly’s run is a mess without much room for new stories, and Big Finish seems to be resting Liv and Helen, or at least keeping them confined to the eighth Doctor sets. As for Bliss, I expect they’d rather have her recording the Time War sets instead of a one off release.

Whilst I'm also kind-of surprised this isn't going to be a boxset, it's nice to see the 'monthly' range back again (even if most of 'The Time Warrior' actually went out in December ), and will say that this's straight in the 'to pre-order' list when I next get paid!

I thought Conrad Westmaas had retired and BF had asked him before and he did not want to return? I wonder what they did to convince him back...

Time-scoop. One minute you're retired, next minute a flying black polygon comes out of nowhere and...

I’ve gotta admit, C’rizz is the last companion I expected to return, (well perhaps second last, after Erimem) I’m now curious to see how he’s handled under the current writing teams.

Maybe a better story than the one he left on?

Charley's a lot like buses - Nothing for ages, then she appears four times in five months...
