So under the license, does cast automatically become available to Big Finish once they leave the screen (assuming they want to, of course)? Or are they going to have to, say, go back and negotiate for rights to use Capaldi after his last ep?
I could be wrong, but seem to recall them having specifically negotiated to be able to use everyone up through 11, perhaps when they got the extension to 2020.
I suppose it doesn't really matter as long as they do get the rights one way or another, but am curious.

I suppose it doesn't really matter as long as they do get the rights one way or another, but am curious. The details have never been - understandably - made fully public but we've heard that certain things still remain off-limits that "should" be on the table - like using all the Paternoster Gang at once. Strax was OK as a one off but had to be asked for despite being in that pre-Time Of The Doctor licence period. So it seems a bit more complicated than "you can use anything from before Capaldi". It seems like any bigger ideas still get run past Wales for a yay or nay. Other posters who follow BF's social media closer might know more. We've not heard anything about the post-Smith era being OK to use at all which is to be expected I suppose while Capaldi is still on screen. I would imagine the clamour to get Capaldi to do BF from fans will only grow stronger the longer Matt says no as well.

My first thought either the licence was extended again until 2030 or the terms were redone to include the 12th Doctor era.
