Hey, what times (as in UK Times) Does the new issues of vortex usually release? Given it’s 8:00am over in the UK I’d say from 9:00am-12noon UK time so around 5 or so hours

Kenny, was the B-side cover inspired by the Marvel Indiana Jones comic covers? Looks familiar!

From The Email Section: Email: With Jon Culshaw now brilliantly reprising the role of the Brigadier following in the footsteps of the late great Nicholas Courtney, would there be any chance of Big Finish producing a full-cast audio drama of the 30th anniversary lost story The Dark Dimension?Nick Briggs: The Dark Dimension is not so much a lost story as one that was never going to happen – there are many things in it that would present casting and contractual difficulties. There’s also the small matter of how, back in the day when rumors were rife, several of the Doctors went on record as saying they would not take part. The roles for the various Doctors were very disproportionate, which, aside from anything else, was quite a diplomatic blunder. And on top of all that let me leave you with a question... have you ever read it?!
Really Mr. Briggs? i assume that he didn't watch the documentary, there were scripts made. Tom Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Sophie Aldred, Nicholas Courtney and Rumored Rik Myall were the primary cast. The Only Two Doctors that kicked up a Fuss were Jon Pertwee and Colin Baker who wanted more screen time. (which i am sure today Tim Trelore would be happy to do the role on Audio and Colin well he would probably say yes) obviously its 30 Years later the scripts can be adapted easily if they were willing to talk with Riglelsford but given the controversy around him is a blunder but saying if the story is terrible and such why on earth did they green light The Ultimate Evil as an audio adaption hell Big Finish could easily change things in the script i mean they took creative liberties before with the lost stories range

Email:I know that Big Finish has adapted several Doctor Who novels over the years (as I’ve enjoyed some of them already) and I’ve recently read a couple more of those novels that I’d love to hear Big Finish bring to life. The Hollow Men (by Martin Day and Keith Topping) is a Seventh Doctor and Ace story that is a follow-up to The Awakening. Blood Harvest (by Terrance Dicks) is another Seventh Doctor and Ace story that is a terrific combination of sequels to State of Decay and The Five Doctors. Blood Harvest would be a spectacular addition to Big Finish’s ranges since it sees Romana returning to Gallifrey, perfectly leading into her rise through the government and her presidency that is central to so many of the stories – and even series (i.e. Gallifrey) – produced by Big FinishNick Briggs: We’ve no plans for any of these at the moment, Daniel, but I’d never rule them out. The novel dramatizations we produce are well received but have not been particularly big sellers for us. It’s an interesting discrepancy that we receive many requests for novel adaptations but then this enthusiasm isn’t quite so resoundingly reflected when we make them, so the jury is still out
Honestly The Novelization Range is probably the range that would benefit from being in box set formula. if they were to have three stories like the Timewyrn Trilogy into a single boxset i could see that working quite well. selling individual audio adaptations means that not all the stories will be popular with viewers

Email: I loved Return of the Cybermen very much and have found many a gem in the Lost Stories range but wondered if we could branch out into New Who Lost Stories with things like The Suicide Exhibition for the Tenth Doctor
Nick Briggs:
I’d certainly love us to do that, The Suicide Exhibition is a great story. Many factors on rights and cast availability would have to be aligned to make this practical but it’s an interesting option for the future, Daniel. Fingers crossed

He could have easily said that there are no plans to adapt Dark Dimension and kept it like that
