It's good, but I'm hoping it's not the only thing in their bag. Depends on how you consider the term "a few more themed surprises", its a new boxset in a spin-off and featuring another New Who Threat now that could be viewed as one surprise or two.

It could also be regarded as completely unsurprising, given the fact this is what the last couple of "big announcements" have been.

Thanks, but, honestly, I just checked the Big Finish news archives.

I'd like to hope that you're right, but I have a sad feeling you're wrong. Yup, they've just replied to my Facebook comment to confirm nothing more today, but some classic who related news in DWM 499. Probably more details on the back half of 2016's MR. Or the First Doc EAs.

Sounds like an exciting set, and I will definitely be buying it, but I'm not sure why it got the unusual treatment. Possibly just to liven things up a little because nothing more exciting was happening. I can't class it as "a few" announcements though. we already knew UNIT 3 was out in November, all they've confirmed is the title and enemy, and it's stretching it to the extreme to call that two announcements! Actually I'm wrong, the most exciting part of this announcement is the estimable Mr Dorney joining the world of UNIT. That is definitely exciting. Dorney and Fitton together is always something of a dream team.

Is that a hint at the Silence? Give the man an everlasting cigar! I got the new companion right too. If I were a betting man, I'd be on a winning streak!

It's always kind of depressing to click on the new greatest thing to be announced and then to see this message:

It's always kind of depressing to click on the new greatest thing to be announced and then to see this message: What? I love that! I'm gonna be so happy around the end of 2019 when some big Monthly Range thing is announced and I see that "purchased in June 2015" cause of the Super Sub. And it's been so long since I gave them the money for Charley #2 that it practically feels free now.

The title/cast of the last of the novel adaptions maybe? I'd love it if they released the cast, the technical details etc but not the title or the cover until the month of release.

Like the Weeping Angels I'm curious to see how The Silence transfer to the audio medium. And I can't ever remember an announcement being promoted & released on a Sunday night. Anyone else? The Silence at least make a noise. Pin fact, it'll be really creepy to hear mundane dialogue with just that sound effect in the background.
