The talking cabbage is a must voiced by Ian McKellen. I'd prefer Michael Gambon.

I don't know, really - I'm enjoying what we've been given so much, that I really don't know! I can't even complain about the lack of Leela this year - she's going to be right there in The Genesis of Chamber! And we have a new companion on the horizon...... I'm very surprised to hear that. I was fortunate enough to hear Tom Baker speak when he Skyped in for the (Re)Generation Who convention in 2015. I forget his exact wording, but he said, correctly in my opinion, that a large part of the appeal of him reprising the role was nostalgia, and that he would be performing with established companions, but they had no plans to introduce new ones. I assume that it was true at the time, and plans were revised after the fact. I'm not sure how I feel about a new companion. I love the chemistry between Four and Romana so much, I'm not sure that there is room in my heart for anyone else.

I'm fine if they move away from that mandate, but who's to say they're not adding a third or fourth player to a team? ie. Doc/Leela/Newbie or Doc/Romana/K9/Newbie?

I certainly would not complain about that. I love Romana even more than I did thirty years ago, and the more people with whom she has the chance to interact, the better she is.

I'd definitely prefer a companion with Romana than a companion with Leela, because it's a nicely overwhelming Time Lord-heavy team for a newcomer. In any case, I do hope the newcomer has a K9 to interact with.

I thought Nick had indicated that they were going to have some stories with "The Human" from Meglos whilst they tried to take him home. i am not sure if the actor is still available, but I doubt anyone would have an issue with a re-casting. However I could have simply read too much into one of Nick's many "just imagine's"!

Well, David Richardson said “Some of the stories are set between The Leisure Hive and Meglos and some between Meglos and Full Circle." If that is the case, I hope that's not the "new companion" they've been talking about...

As i mentioned on another thread, I'd like stories set post Well Mannered War it would be interesting to hear what caused the Fourth Doctor to go from bonkers eccentric of season 17 to the more subdued moody Fourth Doctor of season 18.

I believe the talking cabbage has been confirmed to show up over in Baker's End, episode 3. www.bafflegab.co.uk/bakers-end.aspEssentially Nest Cottage: Series 4, this will be deliciously absurd :3

I think Louise Jameson should pen another story but on her own. I'm very impressed with her writing on the Survivors series and despite I didn't like The Abandoned, that was co-writen. When they return to Leela and Four (they will do some time I suppose), she should write a story My own difficulties with The Abandoned wasn't the story per se but the execution of it. It came across as raucous screeching to me.

They do a fair number of decent things, including The Scarifiers, so I'm confident that it will be at least as good as the prior Nest Cottage audios.

I have little doubt Bafflegap will do a great job. They produce excellent work.
