Her Survivors stuff has been very good. Agreed. Her Omega Factor story Phantom Pregnancy is also excellent, one of the best in the range for me. I've still to do The Omega Factor.

Is everyone ignoring the fact they basically announced a license extension with the fact we're getting stories in 2021?

VERY excited for these and very grateful for the extended length. Some of the 4DA's have been great as 2-parters, but I feel like they sometimes are just a little too light because they can't do much world building. This changes that. Here's hoping that after this we get another set of stories set during season 17, but this time with 4-parters and get a post E-Space 4th Doctor/Adric set.

Can you credibly get an entire series of stories between Traken and Logopolis?

So with seasons 9 & 10 announced, I'm guessing work is underway on seasons 11 & 12? At least?

Between Warriors' Gate and Traken is more likely.
Only at the end of the audio season does the Doctor finally get a new N-Space image translator we know he needs... and get to show Adric N-Space on the scanner in Traken.

Can you credibly get an entire series of stories between Traken and Logopolis? Sure, why not, as long as they don't go to Earth too many times (IIRC Adric just knows it as "the one with all the oceans" or something along those lines) and it ends with "we should really be getting to Gallifrey." The '82 Annual had stories with Adric, the Doctor and K9; the Wiki assumes it's Sarah Jane's K9 and it could be cool to have that trio on audio. Then, with the Doctor knowing the end is near, he sends the dog off to his new home...

Series 9 finished recording Today Regards mark687 Whilst they were on with the photoshop (I mean, Tom with Adric? as if!), they could have included a ghostly JNT, finger pointing across, so as not to be cropped out of the photo shoot. It's what he would have wanted.

I'm just hoping I live long enough to enjoy all the 4th Doctor goodness Big Finish has planned.

I've always thought he's best suited for 4-6 parters

Just as a bit of a side note, Guy Adams has confirmed on his website that this is only the third of six stories he has written that have been announced. The most likely explanation is Series 11/12/13 etc. but it could also mean special releases down the line.

I am really excited for these stories for the following reasons:
1) Back in 1980, I rather resented the character of Adric for - as I saw it - replacing Romana, of whom I was very fond. With that adolescent nonsense behind me, I look forward to the what addition of this deliberately awkward character brings to the Time Lord partnership.
2) David Richardson's words about capturing the high concept tone of the E-Space stories makes me think this collection will be truer to style of Series 18 than the otherwise enjoyable 4DAs series 5.
3) The fact that Jonathan Morris (who wrote The Paradox Planet/Legacy of Death) and Marc Platt (The Skin of the Sleek/The Thief who stole Time) also wrote my favourite four-part 4DAs recently is also a good reason to get excited.
4) Four parters are ideally suited to the 4DA (and more occasional 6 parters would be welcome too), allowing the stories to breathe and giving extra time for some Tom-libs!
Can't wait, in other words.

I wouldn't be mad if we got a 6-parter and a 2-parter in a set at some point when I think about it. Every full length six-parter with Baker has been rather wonderful
