I wonder if the Radio Times have got a bit over-excited with all the 13th Doctor news and bust through embargo... or perhaps the new of the sad passing of Trevor Baxter made the BF guys opt to leave it for another day?
"The actress – the daughter of Doctor Who star Peter Davison and wife of former Doctor David Tennant – is recording the stories this summer for production house Big Finish, with a release expected towards the end of the year" make me think that these are not yet in the can, so to speak.

I never found the Doctors Daughter a very interesting character from her sole appearance, Moffet is a good and charismatic actress but the character was very generic and thinly written so for me personally it's hard to judge/muster up excitement about this until we get more information, I'll probably end up skipping this for budget reasons, but it's always exciting to see BF move forward into new areas of the Whoniverse.

So can we assume it's another 4x1 hour set? Interesting to see that Sean Biggerstaff will be in these he was great in the McGann Shada.

I noticed that RT open with the line "another woman is set to lead the cast of a time and space drama..." Perhaps someone should tell them about Benny, Vienna, Graceless, River Song, New UNIT and - oh 'eck! - Iris. BF have been doing this for almost 20 years already with great results, a new BF regular spin-off with a male lead would be the unusual story. (Oh dear, I was just about to add 'there's only J&L' and then I remembered. ) On topic: honestly, I had forgotten the character even existed. With so many excellent ranges to follow at BF like those I listed above, I think this will be a 'miss' for me.

That's not what the context is though - "another" in this instance doesn't mean on top of only one, it just means "one more".

For some reason the idea intrigues me more than River Song, how much of a Galifreyen is she? Will the galaxy be after her? What's her driving force? Will she meet younger verions of her Dad or some of his friends?

I'm so glad they're bringing back Jenny. I've always been a fan of the character and I'm disappointed they have never brought her back on TV.
I hope Jenny Who isn't going to be too similar to the main show though. As much as I love Doctor Who, we don't need a spin-off that's exactly the same bar different characters. I hope Jenny Who is about Jenny's search for her father across time and space.

That's not what the context is though - "another" in this instance doesn't mean on top of only one, it just means "one more". Sorry, I didn't put it very well - what I meant was that's not the unusual aspect of the character for them to focus on; BF have lots of ranges with female leads. But the others are not (presumably) part Time Lord. Oh and I forgot to put 'Galllifrey' in my list of BF spin-offs with female leads, probably on purpose because I like the sound of it very much and I'm struggling not to get drawn into exploring any more ranges at the moment, not even one starring Romana and Leela. BF have limitless imagination but I don't have limitless time or funds! And I had completely forgotten the episode and character until this announcement, maybe because it was almost sandwiched by the new Sontarans story and River's death, far more memorable stories for me at least. 'The Unicorn and the Wasp' stayed clearly with me too from that same immediate run of stories, but oddly, not this one. The other difference is because of who Georgia she is this is bound to get more attention outside the world of BF fans. Speaking of which, I believe her husband is an actor of some sort, though I don't think I've seen him in anything. Maybe they'll give him a part out of generosity? Very true - I was thinking purely in story terms, I hadn't considered the marketing and promotional aspects.

Nazi guard perhaps, or sickly Scotsman. Comedy Time Lord!

They like to have some control over when news is announced. It's not on the level of the Tenth Doctor and Blogtor Who, but it's still not a good thing.
