mark687 IN A YEAR?!?!?! 20th Anniversary Doctor Who at Big Finish release? (Obviously highly unlikely, but you never know - we could guess just about anything and for all we know it could be right....)

Did we ever find out what Jason HE had been trying to get for 10 years, that was being recorded months ago? Cheers Tony General thoughts are that its the Steamie he's been involved with current theatre production which is 10 years old, but that was recorded live a few weeks ago.

Oh, ok lol. Thanks Mark Cheers Tony

(Obviously highly unlikely, but you never know - we could guess just about anything and for all we know it could be right....) Its highly likely actually the minimum gap between recording and release BF like to have is 5 months Tom Baker ones regularly have over a year gap inbetween.

I think the helpful 'year' reference does make that very likely as Mark said. If we don't get a multi-Doctor special with guest appearances from Benny and Iris and at least 8 Classic Doctors plus David Warner's Doctor, I will be slightly disappointed!

Still hoping there's a Adric 4DA series (or two) eventually. Series 16 might be a bit too far ahead, though I think it was confirmed Series 10 was recorded quite a while back... yes in real terms we're probably talking series 11 or 12 recording.

Must be weird for the actors to do 1 or 2 days recording then wait 3 or 4 years to hear the final product, they may even forget the story by the time it gets released...

Pretty standard for Hollywood actors and even for TV work, the wait can be two years no problem.

Much as I love this series, it is somewhat upsetting that we'll never really see a 'topical' Fourth Doctor story with them being recorded so far out. That said, bring on series 12. Maybe with series 9 being over two months we'll be moving to a 4 boxsets released a year?

Sorry I should've been clearer its part of Season 7 Part 1 out in January I posted to agree with Aztec's point about the lenth of time between recording and release and the people involved remembering
Regards
mark687
Getting us all excited Mark! Good, next year then. I must admit that with the new boxset arrangement I'm thinking of them as 7A and 7B - the one word from the titles which stuck with me is of course Sutekh...

Chortle! Thanks for sharing Mark, and I was able to see it in Firefox now, good! Well that answers the question then, it's more 3DAs and if there were four scripts that's two volumes. It means that there have been at least 3 recording sessions this year normally around 2 stories recorded per session

A day of recording is usually a disc worth of material, so that should read two sessions per story. It'd be two stories per session for a couple of Short Trips.

And I said this at least the 3rd such session for 3DAs this year, there may've been more. Regards

Excellent! I'm still going by Katy's "lots more" comment on the Vol 3 interviews and hoping we won't be having to wait a year between volumes now. Hopeful signs.

If you were a film and TV actor maybe it would seem odd the first time, hearing yourself playing a teenage role again? But of course she was older than the character even in 2005. And for radio/audio and especially BF, actors can play anyone (or any thing!) in their usually very wide ranges. Katy Manning and Maureen O'Brien give great performances as their teenage characters (Jo was supposed to be 18/19, Vicki slightly younger I think?) and Anneke Wills sounds twenty again as Polly. I find it especially impressive in the EAs where they can be narrating in their 2017 voices and then switch back 50 years into character for the next line, several times in a scene and always so convincingly. Or the actor/directors like Lisa Bowerman and Nick Briggs who are sometimes giving direction one minute and great performances the next. The more I've understood about how BF and the actors work, the more impressive it all is.

The more I've understood about how BF and the actors work, the more impressive it all is. It is quite remarkable that SO many companions, Doctors and supporting casts have spent the last two decades coming back to BF and even more remarkable that so many have been so wonderful on audio, a medium which can easily expose limitations if someone isn't good on radio. The batting average for good audio performers from the televised cast of DW is insanely high.

Agree - which proves what I've always said to classic-era 'Doctor Who' critics - budgets might have been tiny but the actors, writers and production teams were excellent and so (usually ) were the end results.

Agree - which proves what I've always said to classic-era 'Doctor Who' critics - budgets might have been tiny but the actors, writers and production teams were excellent and so (usually ) were the end results. Even then, a LOT of the DW support cast had either long quit acting or pretty much retired. It could so easily have been that they just didn't want to go back again, or if they did that they just weren't as good. That neither has been an issue at all (Jackie Lane aside) is quite special. Imagine if only one of The Doctors fancied doing BF or if the companions didn't fancy it or they all got a seven year itch and decided to stop doing them....it's a real perfect storm, BF.
