Hmm... 3x3 disc boxsets...do we think this is also the format the 5th/6th/7th dr boxsets will take? (if so, I guess we won't be hearing too many 4x25 stories in the future...also wondering if the 3 part format will mean a move towards story arcs with a beginning middle end structure every set...) Looking back through the obscure news thread it seems we first got wind of 'Storm Of the Sea Devils' in March 2019 (when a forum member found the story listed on spotify I think), presumably the story had been recorded by then...would this be before or after the 4th Doctor lost story with Harry was recorded? I'm just wondering exactly how far ahead Big Finish have banked stories with Tom baker at this point-I think Briggs confirmed they have recorded a couple of seasons past the date where the license currently expires, and we know Lalla Ward has also recorded more which haven't be announced yet... I suppose this also makes 4DA's with Harry and Sarah jane rather likely too... Christopher Naylor had a 4th Doctor Script which had Series 16 Episode 3 on it

Should we have a thread for BF day we can all use? Seems like things might get messy with 6 hours of panels and discussion being posted about.

I suppose it’s possible that she could turn up in the 3DAs. It does mention that she’s been on the periphery of the Doctor’s adventures so perhaps she was already working at UNIT when Pertwee was around. I can’t really think of anywhere else she could naturally pop up outside of the 4DAs, outside of a Companion Piece style cameo like Margaret had in Ravenous. I like that idea and it would be fun to see her helping Jo just 'off-screen' from the Doctor and the main action during an earthbound 3DA.
Jo goes to do a bit of research for their current problem, the admin officer of the day is Naiomi and who knows what might be following Jo into her office... 'Back at last Jo, have you got those files?' 'Yes, sorry Doctor, we had a bit of trouble with...' (Abstracted) 'Yes, yes, very interesting... (shuffles through files) ah well done Jo, this is what I wanted!'
And so the action rolls on and Jo never does tell him about the Battle of Admin!

Mark Bonar seemed to suggest a 4th Space 1999 boxset is in the works at Virtual Big Finish Day.

Louise Jameson said she is about to do a story with David Tennant. She didn't specify it was Doctor Who but it probably is.

I really hope that he meant volumes 3 and 4 as I loved Breakaway and having Big Finish almost have a Star Trek, but cool in its own right, regular series would be great.

There's the standalone Breakaway then there's Vol 1 coming in Feb. So wouldn't he say "We've recorded 2 and 3" rather than "3 and 4"?

As an aside, does anybody have any idea who Heather Challands is / what her relationship with Big Finish is? A while back the BF account retweeted her in a photo at a recording session (might've been Human Frontier but I'm not sure), making me think she was an employee or contributor, even though she seems quite young, and I see her interacting/chatting with various Big Finish folks (Nick, Benji, a couple others) on Twitter. But her name pulls up nothing in the BF site search tool, so I'm not really sure how she fits into the Big Finish family.

In the comments during her ‘first Big Finish’ segment, the official Big Finish account said she’d done some work experience with them. Assuming I’m not misremembering the name.

So an intern or as we refer to it, cheap labor. I kid. I kid. A little.

Ah okay, so not a contributor on something upcoming then. Got it, thanks.
