So by the looks of it this will feature as characters two cats and a tree...! Now that's not something I would have expected.
As others have said this could really be something special, but at the moment we don't even know if it will be full cast or Churchill style...

Maybe full cast with a classic series Doctor or two thrown in.

This is a 5-disc boxset according to the product info - presumably the usual 4 story discs + 1 of extras. As the Ninth Doctor Chronicles and Companion Chronicles don't have bonus discs, this is presumably mostly full cast (a la The Churchill Years) at least.
Another point: as Jabe was already dead by the time New Earth was inhabited, presuming Yasmin Bannerman is playing her, it seems these stories are all going to be very different. More like Classic Doctors New Monsters than a more serialised set. (I think if there were going to be Doctors in it, they'd have announced it straight off the bat as a selling point.)

I doubt the Doctors will be in it either. Maybe something more in line with Dalek Empire. I hope for something full cast.

This one has me hoping it could be something along the lines of Worlds Of Big Finish. Put a bunch of the spinoff characters in one place, with stories that may or may not be connected. Captain Jack painting the city red... River stealing something from the Sisters Of Plentitude... Benny tracking an artifact... Leela there on a mission from Romana... Iris's bus stuck in the universe's largest traffic jam...
Maaaaybe give one of the stories to the Fifth Doctor, as he missed out on the second New Monsters set. ("Classic Doctor, New Setting"?)
I can only afford to follow so many BF lines. Another 'sample platter' featuring some of the others would be something I might could pick up.

I'd like to see Donna Noble on the bus with Idris. Also: it's the Seventh Doctor who isn't in Classic Doctors New Monsters Volume 2, not the Fifth.

This is such a black slate that it could either be amazing sci-fi worldbuilding or a bottom-of-the-barrel spin-off. I'm really hoping for the former – something along the lines of Dalek Empire or Cybermen.

It could make a good political release exploring our own planet's current politics through those on Peladon. It would still be pretty random though and would require exciting cast announcements or a very good trailer for me to be interested. Maybe if they got Ysanne Churchman on-board as Alpha Centauri. BF have already released two Peladon stories using the characters and world from the original serials. I would say it would be a very short jump from that to a Peladon spin-off. It would certainly be no more "random" than The Mahogany Murderers spawning Jago & Litefoot. If Caroline Morris was still acting, I'd agree, but Erimem's story has gone to very different places in her solo novels and her actress has moved on. As it stands, it's been a little too long. I think they'd have to do another Peladon story if they wanted a spin off. Maybe just another a backdoor pilot (with David Troughton reprising his role? or a new star?) alongside whichever Doctor they want to feature.

This does seem like they are slightly scraping the barrel. I am sure they are good actors, but New Earth is not somewhere I want to revisit.... Zoe Wanamaker might show up 😱.

"Oh my God, I'M A CHAV!" has to be one of the most quotable lines from the RTD era. Billie Piper channelled Zoe Wanamaker in that line well.

DWM has a picture of the Tales of New Earth cover art and it has the Tenth Doctor on it. The article claims its full cast. Does that mean David Tennant may make a cameo?

Imo remains a very odd choice of set from the DWM details. Novice Hame seems to be the only character directly lifted from the TV series, and I don't really remember much about her character. Definitely one to wait for reviews.

It just seems odd to call it full-cast and feature David Tennant's image on the cover without him actually making an appearance. If it is off-screen, I hope too many don't buy it with the false belief that David Tennant's recorded lines .
