I’m having trouble posting it, but according to Elliot Chapman’s Twitter, this is his final story as Ben Jackson.
Bugger. I wonder why - worse case scenario, they might not need him if they're not making any more Early Adventures?

Maybe they want to focus on a new original companion to help bridge the gap between Fury from the Deep and The Wheel in Space?

I wonder if it’s something to do with Dreyfus, I do recall hearing he donated his fee for this story due to that scandal earlier this year. Perhaps this was something to do with that? (Granted this is speculation) Whatever the case, I hope the split was amicable, Chapman was a delight as Ben and I hope that there may be a few more stories with him if the stars align.

I think it is fairly clear we won't be hearing any more of Dreyfus' Master beyond what has already been recorded, at any rate.

That does ring true. I think it was a negative distraction with Dreyfus, who named BF in his online discussion of the issue. Likewise, Chapman got involved online too, by making his feelings felt, and as you say, donating his fee. Whatever the merits or demerits of the original issue, BF got drawn into the matter whilst it in turn overshadowed the release and the work others had put into it.

I don't know anything about any internet controversy - nor do I care to - but he made a damn fine Ben Jackson and it's a shame to see him go. The first three Doctors are already a tricky proposition these days, losing cast members definitely doesn't help.

An additional Tweet from Elliot read
I’m pretty sure I’ve done the same in audio episodes as Mike did in TV ones. Any more might seem inappropriate. 😋👍🥳

I’m almost certain this is for the final Time War Boxset. Molloy Davros meeting his supposedly final end at the jaws of the Nightmare Child. That or Quadrigger Stoyn has returned to wreak his revenge.

I wouldn't mind this being a time war release, but what I really want is another Tom Baker vs Davros release!

Given that it would have to be set after Destiny of the Daleks, could they face each other in a story that also gives Adric a meeting with the Daleks? He's one of only three classic companions (along with Dodo and Liz) who hasn't met them either on TV or audio...

My funds are up in the air again like they've been for most of the year, but I donated a wee tiny speck to Mermaids because Elliot is asking. Very constructive and very gentlemanly gesture on Elliot's part. Perhaps I've having a flashback to a PBS pledge drive, lol, but I'd like to challenge others who might be so inclined to consider doing likewise if they can.
