Very simple and reminds me a lot of the early Torchwood Monthly Ranges covers. Which isn’t a bad thing at all.

No captain jack = No torchwood in my eyes If I had to make a top 10 of BF's Torchwoods. I don't think he'd be the star of any frankly. I've always said he was better as a charismatic side-player than leading man.

I wonder if they'll still do a 50th special and if so, how will they without John Barrowman being involved? They'll probably have had to cancel a lot of pre-made audios featuring him.

No captain jack = No torchwood in my eyes Interesting. I have only listened to a couple of the audios as Torchwood isn't really for me but looking at the releases it does seem like a strong enough spin off to exist without Captain Jack as there have been plenty of stories without him.

Despite buying the 49-54 bundle, I don’t seem to have received this email. Odd. Big Finish may want to put out an actual announcement somewhere public cause presumably I’m not alone in that (thank goodness for this ever-viligent forum). If the “intern“ is scared of backlash they can always turn off comments.
That’s a big statement by Big Finish. Discretely releasing or delaying it is one thing, absolutely purging it and thus incurring costs of refunds and having paid everyone to make a product that will not sell is another. Plus costs of this magic release to fill the hole in the bundles.

Its rubbish What's with Gwen/Eve Myles? Must have missed that news. There was a rather infamous night where she went on a bit of a Twitter spree and said she didn't want to play Gwen anymore, it didn't feel the same as making the show, she wishes it was back on TV and she was done etc etc. Turns out...Eve had a few too many that night and did indeed play Gwen again but she's done so very sparingly, especially noticable with the "fake Gwen" arc in the "Among Us" ongoing series (the Colchester Audios as I call them!). So she does maybe one a run at best. She's a busy actor though so even without her going on that drunk tweetalong of her TW at BF feelings you can imagine there are easier people to lock down for recording.

Does make you wonder what'll happen to The Story Continues... Apparently Goss had been having a complete nightmare planning Series 7, due to cast availability, then it finally all lined up and then lockdown hit... then they decided that their storylines about a deadly virus wasn't the best move...
I wouldn't be surprised if they only recently were able to get to recording - and then the Barrowman stuff happens. I really do not envy Goss and Handcock right now. I just hope Torchwood continues. I'm sure they'll find a way around it. Maybe now could be the time to recruit Mekhi Phifer and record a boxset or two set between Miracle Day and Aliens Among Us. Or some stories set between Series 1 and 2, while Jack was travelling with the Doctor. Thoughts, anyone?

"Funny" how Tom Price's Andy has gradually and accidentally become Torchwood's main character at Big Finish recently, being in a lot of releases, box sets and even ranges outside of Torchwood now. I wonder if the trend will continue, now more than ever before.

Not going to reply to anyone personally but I think it's ridiculous that people are more offended about losing out on a 1 hour big finish than they are about John Barrowman committing an actual crime. It doesn't matter how long ago it happened, it still happened and made people uncomfortable. In what I've seen people got more upset *after* Barrowman's apology as he claimed to have stopped in 2008 because he realised it was wrong even though we know that he didn't stop in 2008. It gave the impression that he didn't actually care at all and was just trying to cover himself. When you say 'cover himself' ... * I don't think anyone is 'offended' by missing out on a story, just upset and disappointed, which doesn't impact one way or another on what John Barrowman did. Considering it was a release people were looking forward to, I can understand that - I feel the same way. You can be disappointed about losing the story while understanding the reasons behind the decision at the same time. Doesn't make it any less disappointing.
