The gift card thing has always baffled me a bit, as it feels like they have the technology to implement it.
They sell product, provide email confirmations and they do discount codes. Not sure why they can’t do a gift card based on that. You purchase from the site, get an email confirmation with the code included and use the discount code field to redeem the gift card.

Considering the almost universal praise I’ve seen given towards Master! I think it’s extremely likely we’ll get more stories featuring the Roberts Master in the future.
When it comes to the Ninth Doctor being involved in Multi Doctor stories, I’m less sure. Not sure if I can see that sort of thing appealing to Eccleston to be honest.
Then again, a few years ago we were all saying he’d probably never reprise his role so what do I know?

Understandably I don’t think we would have a multi Doctor story with the 9th Doctor quite so soon but I do wonder if Eccleston would be in The 60th Anniversary Audio in some capacity
I really hope we will get volume 2 of Master! I guess it might be really difficult to get Jason to direct Eric in the studio given the current situation

- A series set in 'The Year That Never Was' (apparently this was actually sort-of-announced a while ago, so it's probably this one)
- A series about the Simm Master and his travels between The End of Time and World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls
He also said that even though he doesn't like the idea of fast playback, he'll raise it, as it is apparently available on the iOS version but not Android

Rather liked the Crimean War adventure that was in the first Twelfth Doctor Chronicles so I’d be keen to see what else they could do with the range.
Just wondering what other characters from his era they could have make an appearance. Aside from maybe Michelle Gomez as Missy or Matt Lucas as Nardole.

Perhaps the Ghost from Return of Doctor Mysterio, Gus or Frank Skinner’s character from Mummy on the Orient Express, Shona from last Christmas, or even Bill if Pearl Mackie isn’t too busy. Even though I yearn for the day if and when Capaldi does BF I am still glad we are getting content from 12’s era! I still have my fingers crossed that Capaldi comes back to Who one day🤞

I still have my fingers crossed that Capaldi comes back to Who one day🤞 Considering the current surfeit of superhero material at the moment having The Ghost make an appearance could make for a nice commentary on the state of the genre. Frame it akin to a superhero team up. Definitely could see Frank Skinner’s Perkins making a re appearance especially considering that he does regular work with them on the Callan range.

I've heard rumours that he's not a big fan of merchandising, and considers Big Finish to be merchandising, hence his reluctance to get involved. I'm not sure if this is true or just heresy. As a fan himself, I really hope he does jump on board, but I do understand how recent Doctors like to have a rest from Doctor Who before diving back in. I'm hopeful!

Apparently he's against people having to pay for Doctor Who, to the point where he requested the sonic sunglasses so that children could just use sunglasses rather than buying a toy screwdriver. It's also why his costume was the way it was - no need for child cosplayers to buy long scarves, bow ties, cricket outfits etc. - they could essentially just wear a blazer and a shirt. Now, while this is a very admirable view, it does rather diminish his chances of doing Big Finish. Personally, I'm still hopeful, but I think while he's able to do live-action work, it's unlikely.

I understand the want to take a break before diving back in but I think it would be tragic if we never got to see or hear Capaldi play 12 again!

I never knew that about the sunglasses and costume! Cheers for the info. As you say, an admirable view, but not great for Big Finish customers. Maybe one day ...

I remember this, this is when I started to like the idea of the shades. Up until that I though Moffat thought he was outdoing the Sonic Screwdriver or something. It was great to be able to come here and get that vital insight into the reasoning, and indeed it gave quite a boost to my admiration of Peter Capaldi. I can hope that such a thoughtful fellow will be able to understand why Big Finish isn't mere merchandising, and how they have to go about meeting costs and so forth. IMHO, Big Finish has a pretty good track record of being very respectful rather than cynical or exploitative with products. I think that's something quite in evidence with the way they've handled recasts, for examples. I'm also tempted to think that a number of their New Series releases have been more a concession to fans than sure successes sales-wise. I think the New Earth boxset for example must be the kind of thing you do because you know it makes at least a few people out there very happy, rather than something that makes you hear cash registers. At any rate, I very much hope he will think about doing Big Finish and sooner than later. Thanks to timegirl's tireless efforts, lol, I think the Twelfth Doctor is now probably second only to the Tenth as far as my fondness for New Series Doctors goes.

That’s a big compliment that my constant posting about 12 has made you appreciate him so much more 😁

Completely agree. Imo Big Finish is very good at hitting the sweet spot between fan service and interesting storytelling, the perfect example of this being Dalek Universe 1. There's a lot of callbacks to the past, but done in a really interesting and new way, and I imagine it's the sort of concept Capaldi would be interested in tbh - a modern Doctor enters the universe of a classic series writer and goes on bold new adventures.

Fingers crossed that something entices Capaldi back🤞I think he just needs to be shown the point for him to revisit 12. Somehow I feel like it couldn’t just be monster of the week in order for him to come back, he would need to see a real arch and vision.

While I love Big Finish, we have to face facts that their output was, is, and always will be commercial merchandising product.

It’s more than that though, it’s still mostly wonderful and sometimes even meaningful stories. I don’t like to think too cynically about BF.
