A discussion on Facebook about whether BF should tackle a final story for the 7th Doctor, lead to a comment saying 'it maybe soon if rumors of Sylvester wanting to retire from BF are true'.
Has anyone else heard any such rumours?
He said something at a convention Q & Q last week.. It was apparantly misconstrued what he said.. His attempt at a joke of being a Timelord.

That's something of a relief - thanks!

Irrespective of any rumours about Sylvester retiring, I think we have a lead in to The Movie coming up at some point don’t we? I vaguely recall it being promoted as part of the main range retirement and move to box sets.

The other things mentioned were 1/Dodo, post War Games 2, and 3/Sarah.

I vaguely recall it being promoted as part of the main range retirement and move to box sets. From David Richardson in the initial announcement article: The fact that Last Day is italicised in the article suggests to me that it'll be a boxset title. Obviously we've had (or at least had news of) all the other things he mentions, with the exception of the Third Doctor and Sarah Jane - while they've had stories together in the 3DAs, there has yet to be a post-MR 3-disc set featuring the pair.

Although none of the Three/Sarah Jane stories had been announced at the time of that article - it's from May 2020 and the first Sarah Jane 3DA, The Gulf, was definitely still some months away from being announced because it didn't come out for a year

Total guess, but could it be a new Robin Hood thing? Those were released 13 years ago this very month...

So I have been to FedCon today and during the panel with Chris Eccleston, I did my duty as the BF question mistress. So Chris shared some pretty big news, which when I heard them, I was a bit like „oups, here go the beans“. Warning: ONLY read this if you are prepared for SPOILERS. You have been warned. Now, I hope you are sitting down. {Spoiler} While Chris is NOT in the TV 60th, he recorded for the BF 60th. Not only that, but he recorded at least one scene with DAVID WARNER. He thinks, rightfully so! that Warner is an icon and the recording with Warner was one of his most memorable things he did with BF. Chris even asked the hall full of fans if everybody knew who David Warner was! Plus, Chris really enjoys his work with BF, he is happy doing it, they do great scripts, he is very happy that some BF writers are now doing the TV show, everything appears to be FANTASTIC. So yeah, there is more to come. Yes, he does do it for the money, and admitted as much, BUT there was a real passion for it, too.

Interesting. And I’m glad he’s getting some further recognition for his take on the Doctor. And rightly so! In fact, it does make me wonder if the Gatiss Master will end up being the main villain for said event...

In fact, it does make me wonder if the Gatiss Master will end up being the main villain for said event... That is actually quite a good idea and guess since Gatiss is such an involved figure in the show. Totally possible. And yes. Chris did speak very passionately about his take on the Doctor and how he used all his internal pain and how he felt. Great panel. This is a man full of passion.

It’s worth noting that it’s just as likely to be David Warner playing another character as it is his Unbound Doctor. I’m inclined to think that it’s not his Doctor given Eccleston’s previous comments, but if he’s as enamoured with Warner as it seems, then there are always exceptions to the rule. It’s nice to have confirmation that Eccleston is participating in the 60th to some degree, though, and I always love his honesty and take on things. Hope you’re having the best time, tuigirl!

With the recent Benny announcement, I doubt BF would have included Warner for the 60th and not wanted to use his Doctor.

It will be interesting to see how the 60th is being celebrated at Big Finish. My hope is that it is a Legacy of Time style set, with Doctor’s getting separate eps to shine and come together at the end

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.
