Aren't each of the Monthly Adventure Doctors getting their own producer shortly? When is that due to happen?

Yeah it was mentioned in one of the podcasts a couple months back. Not sure what the timeline on that is.

If you look at the individual pages for each Main Range release you will see who the producers are. Nick is producing the 7th Doctor. Scoot Handcock looks to be taking over the 5th Doctor with The Helliax Rift and John Ainsworth is listed as producer of the 6th Doctor audios starting with The Lure of the Nomad.

The end of a trilogy for Scott? Ooookaaay... No. The trilogy that opens this year looks to be produced by David with Scott taking over with the UNIT story in April.

Interesting considering David Richardson has been producer for so long and all three are good people to take over these Doctors. It begs the question, did Richardson just leave Big Finish?

No he remains overall Executive Producer of BF with Nick and Jason, he's just not responsible for day to day production of the Range anymore ( its very interesting that is now one Producer for each Doctor which makes me marvel at just how much work he must have done in his time in the role ).

Makes sense as Big Finish have expanded since 2007 when Nick Briggs took over.

How much work is Scott doing, then?

Producer of the Fifth Doctor, Doctor Chronicles (and The Prisoner?).
Director of The New Adventures of Bernice Summerfield.
Producer and director of several Original ranges.
Script editor and director of Torchwood (except Torchwood One, apparently).
Co-writer, director and producer of Gallifrey.
Not to mention his collection of Doctor Who, Classics et. al. releases.
And he writes, too.

It's certainly an enormous workload, I don't think "prolific" really covers it. Nick Briggs is definitely up there with writers like Terrance Dicks who have made a sizeable impact on the shape of day-to-day Who. It's been a really fun ride, long may it continue. It'll be interesting to see where each producer takes their respective Doctors. I wonder if we'll see a more pronounced difference in styles between incarnations from then on in?

If you look at where Big Finish was as recently as 4 years ago in relation to the amount of material they produced and where they are now, the work load David has had on his plate has grown by leaps & bounds. Taking some of the pressure off of him was bound to happen. Plus, like anything else that has been going for years & years, bringing in new people to look at things with a fresh set of eyes helps keep the range fresh and thriving.

Well the scant amount we know about the styles...
Nick seems to be keeping the Seventh Doctor the same for now (Ace and Mel) but is also bringing Klein back for at least one story.
John doesn't seem to have put Sixie with any of his ongoing companions.
And as for Scott's only story on the docket, it's the Fifth Doctor alone with UNIT which is certainly very different.
Ultimately we don't know very much yet, but my big question is how will this affect multi-Doctor trilogies?

However, based on what we know about this year, this years' multi-Doctor 'trilogy' is likely to be the UNIT one (starting with The Helliax Rift and continuing with Warlock's Cross). I'm not sure if that really gives us any real information at the moment, but it's something to keep an eye on

I have to say, I've never found the stories in the multi-Doctor trilogies to be intricately interlinked. There are shared locations and/or characters, but they are largely standalone. (The Master trilogy was a bit more connected, but more in the third story explaining some of the mysteries of the first two.)

That's true, even The Locum Doctors was essentially three different stories with a shared premise, and the most recent "trilogy" was just the 2-in-1 releases.

I have to say, I'm fairly excited for Scott Handcock to be taking charge of one of my very favorite Doctors.

The Drashani? Excelis?
