the use of the word gotten (apparently its not in common usage!)
No, indeed. It's not been proper British English for a couple of hundred years, but it's hung on as a dialect or slang term and latterly as an Americanism.

the use of the word gotten (apparently its not in common usage!) Note to self: if ever I have a decent idea for the BF story competition, the alien villains will be The Gotten. Note back from self: Ok, off the top of my head, how’s this to get you started? Doctor: Three heads, tendrils that emit poisonous gas, talons that shoot lasers, and a raspy, sibilant voice in triplicate - but always slightly out of synch with each other - that’s just impossible to understand on audio… I know this race. It’s the Gotten! The Gotten: Sssffssf slissssgfdgh, sssDoctor! The Gotten: …Sssffssf slissssgfdgh, sssDoctor! The Gotten: … …Sssffssf slissssgfdgh, sssDoctor! Doctor: I also recall your weakness. The Gotten: Ssscrriss ssffrfrfrfrfrfs! The Gotten: …Ssscrriss ssffrfrfrfrfrfs! The Gotten: … …Ssscrriss ssffrfrfrfrfrfs! The Doctor: I never joke, well, almost never, well, mostly always but not this time. Leave this planet or I will… open this can of worms. Literally. Narrator: The Gotten fled. Earth was saved. Donna: You have an actual can of worms? In your pocket? The Doctor: Yes. Luckily, as the Gotten are allergic to them. Or intolerant. Or just scared. I forget whether I’d have had to make them eat them or just fling some at them. If that didn’t work, I also have this… Donna: Is that a kettle? The Doctor: …of fish. Yes. Always carry a kettle, Donna. Always. Note to self: Brilliant. Just need a beginning and a middle now. Once again, no one else bother entering the Paul Spragg competition when it opens this year. I’ve got it in the bag already.

So looks like we are getting another 12th Doctor Chronicle Surprised we didn’t hear anything about the tenth Doctor chronicle that Jacob recorded for in a video ages ago that seems to have been cut unless that was for the first tenth Doctor chronicle and got cut in editing

I had assumed that with Jake stepping down after the conclusion of this four boxset arc that the Doctor Chronicles would be drawing to a close...but it seems there is life in the old range yet. Does beg the question though - will it be Jake stepping into the role of the Twelfth for a third and final time...or will it be a recast of a recast? 🤔

Regards mark687 From a business perspective I can see why Nick would be irked - Smith and Capaldi reprising their roles on audio would I'm sure have be quite lucrative for Big Finish. But fair enough that both men are (for now at least..) not remotely interested in doing that. It is what it is.

The Doctor Chronicles Range will end when Jacob Dudman goes (nothing yet on how BF will cover the 11th or 12th after) I'm a little surprised to read this if I'm honest, especially when you consider in recent years we've had Pete Walsh, Elliot Crossley, Chris Walker Thompson and even a certain Jonathan Carley give us their impressions / interpretations of the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th Doctors in videos across social media...

Exactly let’s not forget that Jacob didn’t voice 9 in the chronicles range and that Nick Briggs voiced him and let’s be honest Jacob Dudman’s 12th Doctor wasn’t the greatest so why they don’t recast the range with new actors is quite mystifying

It could be that Jacob stepping away has led to a rethink of the policy of recasting people who are still alive but just not working with BF at the moment.

While I would be disappointed if Big Finish hadn't at least explored the possibilities of alternative casting to the alternative casting - perhaps turning the Doctor Chronicles into a once a year anthology series for example - I guess I cannot ignore the possibility that with the way things are right now it might not be financially viable to continue with the range once Jake goes.

It’s likely a few different factors. Their main actor has stepped away, the Ninth Doctor strand quietly disappeared when Eccleston reprised the role (for a time it seemed like Dudman would handle any future sets), the second Ten set almost feels like an afterthought release now as so much Tennant material got recorded in lockdown. There’s no sign of any more Twelve on the horizon and it’s Dudman’s weakest portrayal. Eleven is the only one they’ve really stuck with and even then they’re far removed from the original vision of “Chronicles”. It’s also Dudman’s most notable role so him leaving after what will be 6 sets is quite a void to fill if they continue in their current format.
I wouldn’t have thought any of them are likely to be big sellers due to them not featuring the on screen cast, or at least no companions. It’s quite an inconsistently handled range really, so Dudman stepping away does give them the opportunity to consider what it is they want to do with these Doctors. The biggest omissions with Big Finish are Eleven & Twelve as Smith & Capaldi have yet to join, but they’re also the two eras with so many of the other cast regularly working with Big Finish that they could go back to a more traditional Chronicles format, whilst broadening the scope and reducing the need to recast the Doctor.
I’d personally quite like to see them adopt a hybrid of the Short Trips and Torchwood monthly range.

I’d personally quite like to see them adopt a hybrid of the Short Trips and Torchwood monthly range. Just a thought - could it be an opportunity to reignite the flame that was the Companion Chronicles? Start the range again but have it exclusively for 11th/12th Doctor companions. Since Michelle Gomez, Alex Kingston, Dan Starkey, Neve McIntosh, Catrin Stewart, Arthur Darvill, and now Caitlin Blackwood and Safiyya Ingar are actively recording stuff for BF they could be used to tell future stories for Moffat-era Doctors. 11th Doctor (Amy/Rory) - Caitlin Blackwood or Arthur Darvill 11th Doctor (Victorian era) - Dan Starkey, Catrin Stewart, or Neve McIntosh 11th Doctor (Valarie) - Safiyya Ingar 11th Doctor (Clara) - Realistically Alex Kingston or any of the Paternoster Gang actors could take these ones 12th Doctor (Clara) - Any of the Paternoster Gang actors or Michelle Gomez could tackle this era 12th Doctor (Bill/Nardole/Missy) - Michelle Gomez EDIT: Just realised there's obviously also Jemma Redgrave and Ingrid Oliver who could be used for anything in the Moffat era. Hell, even use Ken Bones as the General for stories set on Gallifrey if they want to do that.

Hell, even use Ken Bones as the General for stories set on Gallifrey if they want to do that. That’s exactly my thinking. Use the Short Trips format as the stories will require narration in lieu of a Doctor, but treat it like the Torchwood range with the release schedule, 60 minute runtime (avoid the natural repetition of cast you get with the STs where two are recorded in a day) and the ever expanding roster of characters. I’d envisage a first year comprising of 6 Eleven and 6 Twelve stories, then let’s say Tennant hasn’t recorded much for a while, so you could then look to perhaps get Alex Kingston to handle one. Then that could expand if, say, Catherine Tate is available. Then that leads into handling other TARDIS teams across the show and would help to address the current issues faced with the original cast of the First & Second Doctor eras in particular. The range would always emphasise the Eleventh & Twelfth Doctor eras in lieu of dedicated ranges, with at least three or four releases apiece a year, but I see no reason for it to expand as and when the opportunity arises. I think that’d help keep it fresh and consistent and avoid the issues faced with the Companion Chronicles where sales could vastly differ per release. That would be my preference anyway. And indeed I was critical when Dudman was announced for the Ten, Eleven & Twelfth Doctor Chronicles originally because for the most part the above cast were regularly recording with Big Finish and more besides. My opinion has shifted a little now, as I wouldn’t be without Valerie or that second Eleven Chronicles set.
