Really like that and like how the new logo can both be subtle on these “Worlds of Doctor Who” releases and loud and iconic on a proper Doctor Who release. I'd rather it be out there for the quick glance on the website (such as when customers come in to the main page). Placing the logo on the bottom doesn't really seem to work from my perspective.

It seems the darker the background the belter the Logo works.

So, Dreyfuss, McQueen and Simm for the next set? Along with a very harassed feeling Rufus Hound? "I'm not supposed to BE here!" I doubt it - this set probably only features TV Masters for a reason. If there IS a later set featuring Dreyfuss, McQueen and Simm then Simm's presence alone will sell that set, moreso than any of the Masters in the advertised one, even Gomez as the "current" iteration. Though WHEN Simm's Master would fit in is debatable. AFTER he gets shot by Missy? River accidentally ensuring he survives long enough to regenerate?

Surely it would be between leaving Gallifrey and arriving on the Colony Ship unless I’m missing something?

Yes, it could be, that's true, I just think that post The Doctor Falls would be a more interesting tale. I have to confess that I was pondering the DOCTOR'S timeline initially rather than River's, and HE doesn't see the Master between The End of Time and Missy's arrival.

This set finally confirms that the Master did retain the form of Bruce after he escaped. It had long been assumed that he escaped in his "husk" form.

Anyone else noticed the cubes from Power of Three on the cover?

Although I've never played it, the Eternity Clock had River hearing the screams of an American from within the walls of the 8th Doctor's TARDIS. Perhaps he retained Bruce's form for a long time, accidently being released by River for a short period, before realising who he is?

Not sure if Big Finish is going to throw in a little reference to the game. I always thought that the game's reference to the TV Movie was clever.

I've always felt "the Master is trapped in the TARDIS" was a brilliant idea that no story's ever fully taken advantage of. (There was a Lance Parkin novel proposal with amnesia-ridden Eight, Fitz, and Anji stuck in the TARDIS with the Master's spirit manipulating them that I really wish had been made.) Perhaps Big Finish could do something with that for either this or a future Roberts appearance?

Fun fact: the cover lists the names of the Masters in an order that isn't alphabetical for either first or last name, but conforms perfectly to the story order we guessed - 1. Gomez, 2. Beevers, 3. Roberts, 4. Jacobi

I keep trying to start typing how excited I am about a story for one particular Master incarnation or another, but then I trip over it because I realize I'm just as excited about all the rest. I can't believe I have to wait eight months to hear it!

This set finally confirms that the Master did retain the form of Bruce after he escaped. It had long been assumed that he escaped in his "husk" form. Does it? Isn't there already a BF continuity whereby he escapes in his wormy form as before and nicks another body? I reckon there are a number of possibilities - the adventure could be set during the TVM*, or potentially the Master might be able to reuse any previously-stolen bodies at a whim. * TARDIS wikia already claims one of Titan's silly back-up strips takes place at this point. Rather than being, y'know, uncanonical. It'll be interesting, though, if (as some have suggested) Eric Roberts turns out to have recorded other audio plays on top of this. If it was in an eighth Doctor series the presumption at least would it be early in his lifetime - so, any chance we might get Mary Shelley back as well? Please?

I'd find it a bit disappointing if they did contradict 'Mastermind' and 'The Centenarian' stories that had him escape as, basically, the Deathworm in the form a vapourous gas, possessing innocent victims over the course of a century. Id like to think they'll be smarter than that though, when it comes to their own continuity.
One thing that always struck me about 'Mastermind' is that the Master was determined to not alert the Doctor or the Time Lords to fact he was still alive. Could they have simply ressurected him in the body of Bruce, unaware of his body-hopping adventures, eventually offering him that same deal they made when he was in Tremas' body?

I’m curious how this will fit as well.

Roberts, 4. Jacobi From Jonathan Morris’ UnderThreeHundred blog... The new issue of Doctor Who Magazine, out today, contains an announcement about a forthcoming thing I’ve written. It’s one of four stories contained in the box set of the fifth series of The Diary of River Song and relates the meeting of River Song and Missy. Yes, Missy, as played by Michelle Gomez. The first character from the Peter Capaldi era of Doctor Who to appear in a Big Finish release. I can’t tell you what the story is about, but it’s title, The Bekdel Test, may give you some clue. I still can’t quite believe they let me get away with that. Hahaha.I cannot wait (although I will have to) to hear what Mr Morris does with these great characters!
