Has Vortex been scooped on "The Union" or is there a extra exclusive to come?

This is admittedly a silly question but I’m just confirming that if you want to write in to Vortex Mail it’s via the general Vortex email? There’s not some other special email for it?

Interesting that three out of four emails concerned news of forthcoming ranges, and the reply was uncertain. 'No change in policy' as yet regarding the (lack of) future of the Novel Adaptions; no concise answer regarding the release (or recording) of Call Me Master and The Renegade Doctor and 'no firm plans' for the future of UFO and Space 1999. This, with the lack of any new Blake's 7, Dark Shadows and Survivors and even War Doctor and River Song makes the future look a little barren.

Praise for Jacob's 11th Doctor. Discussion about Street Fighter franchise " When something becomes popular, it doesn’t necessarily follow that people want audio drama based on it."
Discussion about bringing back The Time Lord "Maxil" who was played by Colin - discussion about IF Matt Smith came aboard- they would prefer him to be The Doctor (he made that infamous comment about being The Master at a Convention).
"The Tomorrow People" - the recordings for the last season never released are apparently "lost". BF also have looked into acquiring the rights again.

I just bought them the other day, they're full cast and surprisingly good. Honestly the best new range I've listened to in a while. I've only finished the first boxset but they're really good so far.

I would have love for the Tomorrow People range to return. But so much time has passed and Big Finish has changed so much creatively since then that it would no doubt be a reboot rather than a continuation.

Seriously!!! I know we were unlikely to ever hear them but The Tomorrow People had fans amongst the crew. Nigel Fairs spoke very passionately in particular. You would think some mp3's were stored on someone's lap top just in case. Grrrr...

The first story was edited and completed with music, and the first third of the second story was done, when word came through that the licence had been pulled.
These exist in the Big Finish archive.

I don't think you ever get over losing family and loved ones but I'm trying to be positive because I know that's what Dad would want. I really appreciate all the kindness I've received over the past few months.

Thank you for clarifying. I was under the impression that more had been recorded - another two stories out of the six - but it's nice to know that what has is archived. I'm sure if the license is ever renewed we might get to hear 6.1 if nothing else.
