I think the only thing stopping it from being full cast is the appearance of the Tenth Doctor on the cover. Is he actually in it, or is he just a presence in it? If the former, then it would probably be some form of narration. Unless they’ve managed to get David Tennant to record half a dozen lines for it, but that depends entirely on how much this set was planned in correlation with him doing Volume 2 of the 10DAs last year.

Full Cast info is up and Tennant's not in it.
I'll stick with passing on this as the setting didn't leave a lasting impression on me from its TV Eps.

That doesn't mean he isn't going to be in, it's just that Big Finish is being coy about his involvement I've caught up on the Big Finish news and I don't get why people thought this was going to be anything but full-cast. It would be a very odd way to launch a spin-off.

I think people forget just how much darkness there is in the New Earth stories. In New Earth, no-one is exactly looking into The Sister's rapid successes and given New Earth's treatment of clones, it's fair to say most don't care. Gridlock has some rather damning commentary on the effect drug use by middle and upper class has on already affected lower socioeconomic areas . While I don't expect Tales of New Earth to be Torchwood, we're going to see Big Finish scratch deeper beyond the veneer.

I respectfully disagree. You don't go feature the Tenth Doctor on the cover and NOT have him involved.

And its part narrated like the Churchill years.
As I thought putting 10th's image so clear on this is giving people false impressions.

I'm probably just near-sighted enough that I'd sort of have to own it before the wee tiny pic of Ten could trick me into buying it. :-) I don't think it's that unreasonable to have the 10th Doctor somewhere on the cover since it does feature things from the 10th Doctor era. The size of the pic should hopefully help temper most people's expectations?

Normally if it's full cast BF puts "FULL CAST AUDIO DRAMA" on the box and this hasn't got that...
So yep, I reckon it's like The Churchill Years.

Agreed, I quite liked it and am happy to see that more sets are following the fuller-cast companion chronicle format

I just think it a bit of a shame that if they cannot get a New Series Doctor ie David Tennant in for the recording that Big Finish think it is better to have narration than to use a Classic Series Doctor ie 5, 6 or 7.
I would have thought that Classic Doctors : New Monsters would have sold more units than the Churchill Chronicles.
However that assumption is based on my own personal preferences and the comments on this forum which is (possibly) more enamoured with the Classic Series than Big Finish’s overall customer base?

Classic Doctors: New Monsters didn't end due to sales (I imagine it went over VERY well), Big Finish have stated that the series has ended due to creative reasons - it's too difficult to place other revival monsters within the original series without stretching contiunty.
