There is a lot of assumption on this thread, how do you know Peter Capaldi will reprise his role as Doctor Who with BF? He is under no obligation whatsoever to do so.

There are a lot of potential gaps to explore in the Twelfth Doctor's timeline, should Capaldi choose to return and I would be more than ready to buy anything with his name on it.

I'll definitely be there for whatever Capaldi might do with Big Finish in the future. I'd love to hear more from 12, Clara, and Missy.

William Hartnell has yet to reprise his role with Big Finish but that hasn't stopped Big Finish doing stories with the First Doctor I do hope Big Finish consider Destiny of the Doctor style stories for Doctors who don't want to take part.

Yes the rumour I heard on Tennant was
"Great yes I'd love to do it IF you can get a TV Companion",
Regards

Given that he is an avid Big Finish listener, you'd think David Tennant would know that they tend to introduce their own companions and be more open to it. As I say it was only a rumour but apparently the thinking was he didn't want the potential awkwardness in establishing a new companion dynamic on top of his 1st proper return to the role.

That makes sense. I don't know what's taking Big Finish so long to announce the second box set we all know is obviously going to happen.

Capaldi stated that he had never been in one role so long as his Doctor stint, so for him to reprise it (on any medium) is probably the last thing on his mind.

I'd rather hear the Tenth Doctor with Donna (Rose/Martha/Jack etc.) than with a BF created companion anyway, so I am glad the first box set worked out that way. There's nothing wrong with new companions for the audios, but more adventures with proper TV Doctor/Companion pairings are always welcome where possible.

That makes sense. I don't know what's taking Big Finish so long to announce the second box set we all know is obviously going to happen. I was surprised that the special edition didn't sell out before release....and it still hasn't, so perhaps there isn't as big a market as we might have assumed. As for the Twelfth Doctor audios I am happy to wait. Let's make the most of what we still have available.

As for the Twelfth Doctor audios I am happy to wait. Let's make the most of what we still have available. Could also be a factor of marketing. I had no idea Big Finish existed until I looked up "Etra Prime Incident" from the 2006 Annual and found The Apocalypse Element.

Peter Capaldi has been in a role longer than The Doctor though. Malcolm Tucker. That makes sense.

I bet it has sold out but Big Finish have forgotten to update the site.

I don't think Peter Capaldi will do them. I've heard before that he has a stance on how fans are milked when it comes to merchandise, presumably the reason why he hasn't done any audiobooks or commentaries. It's a well reasoned and understandable point of view, I think. Admirable also, although as a fan I have no complaints about the value of DVD releases or well-constructed audio. I don't actually feel milked until, say, someone tries to sell me a fondue fountain in the shape of K-9 or something.

That makes sense. I don't know what's taking Big Finish so long to announce the second box set we all know is obviously going to happen. Do we? I'm not convinced it's going to happen -- at least, not anytime soon. As Aztec pointed out on the first page, Tennant had to be coaxed back to do the box set as a favor to Briggs, and then only if Catherine Tate participated. Honestly, I don't think any of the other Nu-Who Doctors will work with Big Finish with the possible exception of Matt Smith, who has said "yes" on more than one occasion. Eccleston has declined and Capaldi is apparently telling people at conventions he won't do it (wow -- what a fan!). We're lucky we even got John Hurt, who admitted to Briggs that he only accepted the BF gig because he had cancer and needed acting work where he could be seated. And, yes, I know everyone always argues that Tom Baker declined for years and then changed his mind, but he had to be talked into it by Louise Jameson.

And, yes, I know everyone always says that Tom Baker declined for years and then changed his mind, but he had to be talked into it by Louise Jameson. Eh, never say die. Janet Fielding and Matthew Waterhouse both declined as well, but they made a return despite expectations.

David Tennant will do a second box set in no time. He's a Whovian. There's absolutely no way he won't. Same with Peter Capaldi.

They're both busy actors with active careers, they can't really commit to regular audios.

Capaldi or Tennant may or may not want to do more audios eventually and love the role, but their agents will have very different ideas.
In the case of Tom Baker...no disrespect to the man, but he hadn't really done much of note outside Who for decades, it was by far his most iconic role and as noted he was very reluctant to return for years, his age was probably also a factor in returning as it's a relatively easy solid income for less time and faffing around than a TV or Movie job.
As for the other Doctors...as noted Hurt was ill and wanted some easy work he could do, Sylvester and Peter D had hit and miss scripts and both toyed with doing a 4th series so perhaps they felt they had unfinished business, Paul had only done one story so probably felt he had lots left to prove and explore with the character and Colin got fired before he got a chance to do everything he wanted with the character.
Tennant, Capaldi and Smith all left of their own accord, with larger worldwide audiences and presumably happy with the 3 series they have done in the role they may simply feel they've done everything they wanted to do with the role, moaning about how we are entitled to more stories isn't going to be a positive way to help change their minds.
