How would they reconcile that with the end of Utopia? 🤔 Not that I’d complain if they can work out a meeting of the two War incarnations!! If its Post Series 3 Tenth Doctor it can work with him meeting The War Master
You got this week’s lottery numbers too per chance?

Holy s*** Illusive! You’re practically Nostradamus. Why didn’t you tell us, you could see the future?

Dudman’s Twelve still sounds like if Capaldi had a permanent sore throat and was constantly angry. It’s fine for short bits like that, but I can’t imagine it working for me for an entire story. A problem I have with the chronicles is none of them have really had a premise good enough to justify why these stories needed to be made. They just sound like ‘well we’ve got a licence for these Doctors, gotta do something with them’ rather than someone coming up with ‘I’ve got a great idea that only works for the Twelfth Doctor and his era’. Without that kind of impetus, I’m still of a mood to just skip the chronicles.

Without that kind of impetus, I’m still of a mood to just skip the chronicles. This is actually the first Chronicles release that's got me interested - partly because I'm a big 12 fan and Dudman's impression is good enough that I won't mind 3 hours of it, but also because I feel like the Time Agency is hugely under-utilised, so a boxset featuring a Time Agent will never not appeal to me. That said, I'll only be pre-ordering once I've seen the story details.

Without that kind of impetus, I’m still of a mood to just skip the chronicles. I wouldn’t even say it’s that, to be honest. It’s why did they go down the route of emphasising the Doctor side of these Chronicles by getting an impersonator / narrator, and then later them playing the Doctor, rather than the Companion Chronicles they already have established to great success / acclaim? I still haven’t seen any good justification as to why they didn’t go in that direction. There’s more than enough cast members from the Ninth - Twelfth Doctor eras working with Big Finish to fill these sets countless times over (well, maybe not for Nine!). I do see what you mean, though, and I think we would get something tailored if they’d let the guest cast dictate rather than the Doctor they’re using. I did like the variety of the Tenth Doctor set in particular, but it was missing that distinct voice in half of the stories. The Companion Chronicles prove you don’t always need the Doctor actor reprising their role. I don’t follow the logic that the next step is to get someone in playing the Doctor opposite one-off characters and some more tenuous guest stars.

The only public reason I can recall seeing about why these chronicles have become full cast is the BBC said they could be if they wanted, but just because Big Finish can something doesn’t mean they have to. I wonder if they think younger audiences just dislike narration? That would explain why new series Short Trips have erred towards almost-full cast at times. In many ways the constraints were the Companion Chronicles’ biggest strengths, as writers has to find new framing ideas and ways to utilise limited casts. The new series chronicles by contrast just sound so generic in the stories they offer.
