This Weeks Live Link www.bigfinish.com/podcasts/v/2021-01-24-river-and-the-robotsPrewiw Interview and Drama Tease for River Song vol 8 From the E-Mails A Historical Figure anthology is a good idea in principal but as the perception of history evolves its gets more tricky to not cause controversy or go against BBC Guidelines when basing stories on or around them. More praise for the Sales Team Thanks for J&L Series 14 When Live this weeks RAN Offer (25% Off DL Only) will be DW MR NO 142 The Demons of Red Lodge and Other Stories Regards mark687 Did anyone else think they recognised the author of the last email as one of our own from this forum?

From the E-Mails Another statement that going forward the DWs will have different number of Episodes (however many it takes to make a good story)
Also important to add that Nick said that half hour episodes will still be the norm, but that it is important to experiment.

We've had long-form stories (i.e. more than six episodes) set in the present day ( The Invasion), the future and as pseudohistoricals ( The Daleks' Master Plan/The War Games). I wonder if it'd be possible to tell a pure historical at that length? Pick a particular period and see what shakes loose?

Very curious to see what they do with this Suicide Squad story idea. Obviously it would be easy enough to simply have all the recognisable renegades team up such as the Master, the Eleven, the Monk et.
But I wonder if they’ll use this an opportunity to introduce some new and completely original renegade Time Lords? Then they could release a story later on which showcases the Doctor’s first dealing with them.

The Suicide Squad-esque idea feels like it’s been in the pipeline for a while now; hope we get some details soon as it feels like it’s got a lot of potential. Was it supposed to be set in the Time War, or wishful thinking?

Was it supposed to be set in the Time War, or wishful thinking? Maybe I’m just particularly unimaginative but I feel like it would only make sense for the Time Lords to assemble a team of Gallifrey’s most feared and dangerous if it was set during the Time War. In any case, I feel like the Eleven would definitely be the wildcard of such a team. And if the rights to the Rani can’t be figured out then I guess you could always substitute her for the Player or a completely new renegade.

The previous Exclusive MR Sub Specials [4 Docs and 5 Companions] may eventually be put on for general sale This will annoy some people, as they were sold on teh understanding they would never be available except in relation to subscriptions. Considering how long it's been, I'm not sure I'm bothered, but I wonder whether they will buy out our interest (so to speak) somehow?

I think that once the Main Range wraps up, it would be only right that they do. I managed to listen to the 4 Doctors when it was on YouTube (and then removed) and thought it was very good, so it would be a definite purchase for me. I am just dreading the clearance of the remaining physical stock for the 60 or so MR I still don't have yet, as I have two Jags and a Merc to run these days and cannot justify a bulk buy at present. A different hobby that is a money pit in itself

I hope that the suicide squad will be made up of all new renegades and criminals, so you don’t know who, if anyone, will make it out alive. In effect the members of the squad will be auditioning with the audience to make more appearances. Even if those future appearances will be in their past. Perhaps Big Finish will create a new Time Lord villain to revival The Eleven.

Perhaps Big Finish will create a new Time Lord villain to revival The Eleven. That’s very true. But I do feel like the main draw of such a set for most people would just be having various recognisable Time Lord criminals and renegades team up with one another. Although there’s nothing stopping them from adding a few new and original ones I guess.

I presume that Top Secret Release featuring Sir Derek Jacobi will be another Classics adaptation? Perhaps A Christmas Carol?
I would have suggested that perhaps it was for that Suicide Squad style story that was thrown about in the last podcast but I think it’s far too early in development to be that.
