With the word being "reinforcements" (in the plural), the fact that Strax is with them in the special release in November and with the influx of NuWho into Big Finish I expect that the emergency reinforcements will be The Paternoster Gang! As for the title I think that the fact it hasn't been announced must mean it has the word master in the title. And I do like your suitably penny dreadful sounding suggestion!  The only thing is that it sounds like it will be more than just Jago & Litefoot, so if they want to promote all the characters I think will be in it how about - The Master of Paternoster Row |

THE CORSAIR!
THE WAR DOCTOR!
K9!!
Seriously though, probably the Paternosters.
My question though - which version of the Zombeevers is it? Recently escaped from the Eye of Harmony? With his TARDIS post-Mastermind?
Could he regenerate? Because a decrepit old corpse becoming younger fits with Bram Stoker bring in it.

Series 10 was a landmark release and series 11 will join it unless Big Finish have some special releases in the next few months that we don't know about.
Achieving their 50 story together is an incredible feat.
At one stage when they went a long while without announcing the next box I did hope that Big Finish had identified the milestone that was coming up and we're putting plans in place.
However it appears that 50th story looks to be one of those in the next box set.
In addition to their 40 box set stories there has been seven other audio titles
The Mahogany Murderers
The Justice of Jalxar
Voyage to Venus
Voyage to the New World
Mind Games
Stage Fright
Jago & Litefoot & Strax
That makes 47 audios, so depending on whether you count their original television adventure either
11.2 Maurice
Will be their 50th Adventure
11.3 The Woman in White
Will be their 50th Audio Adventure

Because a decrepit old corpse becoming younger fits with Bram Stoker bring in it. I was wondering the same thing. I think the Fourth Doctor Beevers is the most likely as that seems to be Big Finish's favourite (likely cause there's no need to explain his presence to casual fans) but it could be the Seventh or Eighth Doc versions as well. I'd love a story where Beevers steals Gordon Tipple's body. |

He then flees the Daleks and hides in a helium mine, which seeps into the Daleks' casings and the Master is taken for trial. |

A little peeved at the decision to post this as headline news on the Big Finish website. Some listeners havent yet heard Series 10 and have been avoiding spoilers, and yet Big Finish have put a huge spoiler for the end as their front page!

I do understand your annoyance, but it is very difficult for Big Finish having an on-going series of box sets when every set ends on a cliffhanger! Personally I think they did very well keeping the secret of who was in the next box set until now. Let's face it they need to promote the next box set and knowing that the Master turns up at the end of series 10 in no way diminish's the quality of that series. |

I thought that the Sixth Doctor's new outfit looked vaguely familiar....  |

It's certainly a big draw for new listeners. |

I've never got any of the Jago & Litefoot box sets before but the decision to include the Doctor and the Master in this makes me a lot more interested. Hopefully Big Finish will do more crossovers on the scale of this one. Let's see Captain Jack HarKness in UNIT!

See, Im the opposite, I'm less excited by the idea of the Master bring involved, it's like Daleks or Cybermrn or The Toymaker turning up - were so utterly into "beyond their capability" that it stops becoming a Jago and Litefoot story and more "a Doctor story".

I'm just as excited for Colin wearing pretty much exactly The Doctor's outfit from Curse Of The Fatal Death  |

Good grief! It IS the Curse of Fatal Death costume (with a neckerchief).

It'd so be like the Master to underestimate Jago and Litefoot though. Who was it that thwarted his scheme to use Azal's powers? Pretty little Jo Grant, ready to sacrifice herself, the very act of which was so alien to the Daemon that its power was useless, and resulted in the one time UNIT actually captured the Master. Castrovalva was brought down because one of its inhabitants developed sufficient free will to act against him. The Master underestimated the power of the whole human race, seeing only the secret weapon ploy in Last of the Time Lords instead of what Martha was really doing. What always stops the Master's schemes is that spark that makes humanity great, that he never seems to factor in. And who better than Henry Gordon Jago and Professor George Litefoot to incinerate his iniquitous inimical intentions? |

I just accept that ranges get a sales bump by, from time to time, throwing in a Doctor or a major foe. Dalekbuster and many like him will give this one a chance who may not have done so before the reveal of Colin and Geoff so there's a very real upside for BF to do this as long as it doesn't take over the range.
I personally vastly prefer a spinoff range to not feature The Doctor and stand on its own but, hey, look at Benny. Gary R said it was always a low seller as a solo range and often good will and a love of Lisa Bowerman kept it from the axe so now she appears in co-adventures with The Doctor and classic enemies like The Daleks and Sutekh which you've got to believe is a commercial decision as much as it is an artistic one. It just so happens the two boxsets have been very good listens as well as more widely appealing ones. I expect the same with this Jago and Litefoot set. It'll almost certainly add new fans to the range.
I can perhaps see that some would rather hear a "new" Doctor with J&L since we've heard Sixie quite a bit with them and even Four will be up to 3 stories with them soon enough. Would be nice to get Davison against them - Peter's been in very little BF the past couple of years compared to everyone else and hasn't had as many big event releases.
