To add to my previous post, I found the release in question: Trap For Fools. This news piece from November 2015 says that Trap For Fools was set for release later in the 2016 run, but it still hasn't come out yet, in fact, it's only just coming out this year in May. If you click the link for Trap For Fools in that news article, it takes you to A Full Life, which is what I'm assuming it was replaced with. So, yeah, it's not the first time a ST release has been postponed, but admittedly it's odd that the trailers have been removed for the Jackie ones... Oh I totally forgot about Trap for Fools. That was around the time the format of the series changed - assuming that's 6.9 is assuming a 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-1-2 etc release pattern. IIRC the first Monk story was the first to mess up that pattern - suddenly it went 2-3-3-4-5 - but Rulebook was the fifth Doctor story in that run, not Trap. No idea really. (I'm realising this is a massive tangent carry on nothing to see here)

It's possible that Chibnall might want Big Finish to hold off expanding lingering plot threads from Ten's era until series eleven is either finished or established - I don't think there's really anything to worry about here. The synopysis has also returned back to it's previous version - I think the 'scientific advisor' was probably just meant to be a homage to the Third Doctor era and was probably an earlier version of the synopysis that was placed on the website by mistake. While I can't deny I wasn't looking forward to this release immensely, we're getting a new Eighth Doctor tale, so I'm good

Found the above on the Community feed of their Facebook page.
Pretty bummed out about this as I was looking forward to both releases... But a positive is that we get the 8th Doctor & Charlie Sato story soon!

I think the 'production issue' is simply they have been instructed to use the new DW logo on all new-era releases, but then I question myself surely that would only take a short time pasting in the new logo. Though maybe the toing and froing between BF and the BBC is expected to take ages hence being pushed back.

Is it not more likely that some hardware failure has cause the finished files to be corrupted or lost mean it will need to be redone. moving it means that, I can be worked on without jepodising other realeases.

And I don't think it would only affect new series stuff - After all, a Fourth Doctor DVD and a Seventh Doctor comic are two of the first things we've seen with the new logo. It could be lost files or something like that as suggested - if some of the post-production had to be done again, that would be worth delaying...

There's no way it was anything to do with the logo, that doesn't make sense.
Note the news article today says there's "good reason" behind the delay and "more details soon". That's very curious phrasing if it's something like corrupted files or a problem with the recording...

I wonder if they plan on expanding the stories out as a pilot for a potential Earth Defence Series or something. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they went back and gave Rose a larger role and had the Meta Tenth Doctor go missing at the end of the second story, to set up a series with Rose and Jackie, without Tennant being involved. But then, that’s just random ramblings. Who knows what it is.

Turn of the Screw News Piece was interesting
We would like to apologise for the delay in the Jackie Tyler MetaCrisis Doctor Short Trips, The Siege of Big Ben and Flight into Hull!, due to production issues. But we promise that it is for good reason. More details soon...
Trying to make this a Last Flight to Hull a 2 Hander maybe?
EDIT
Monk's said something similar Regards

Just trying to imagine what they could have thought might be missing - probably wasn't missing anything as far as I'm concerned.

I'm still not sure that's much of a reason to reschedule the release in the same week it's meant to be coming out.

They were probably trying to get it ready just in time for the release date, but when they realised it wouldn’t be ready in time, they must’ve just decided to push them back until they were ready.

Looks like the whole range has taken a reshuffle, as 'Flight into Hull!' is now listed for August too.

It's accurate to say the blurb has changed - but it's the mention of the Earth Defense organisation that's missing, not the mention of the Doctor. (...) So I thought I'd come back to this, cause I think there's since merit to it. The blurb currently says: Whereas it used to read: The Earth Defence organisation could have been too closely linked to UNIT or Torchwood or something and raised some copyright flags but the interesting thing to me now that I'm looking at it again is that the mention of Cybus is gone too. Not sure if anyone knows if the trailer has changed as well - I don't think I listened to it before - but that would be an interesting piece of info if anyone recalls the old one. I wonder if we'll ever get an answer to why this happened...

Have I dreamt this but has it not been rumoured/spoken about that jake(what ever his name is) is going to be the alt doctor in a range.......
That’s why all this has been held back......
Or am I going mad!
