So the companions for docs 3, 4, 7 & 8 have been tweeted, plus 6's were mentioned in the news item (Charley & Menzies). Big mystery then is who is accompanying 5 ... ?

*slight deviation from the subject* As great as it is to see that Tim's version of the Third Doctor will be playing a part, I can't help but wonder what (if any) part Peter's version of the First Doctor and Frazer's version of the Second Doctor will play in Legacy of Time. If they are not, then I can't help but wonder if Big Finish have something else planned for the early years contribution to the 20th Anniversary.. *pure speculation ahead* ..maybe..just maybe..a crossover of the First and Second Doctors against James Dreyfus' Master? Quietly hoping... Oh I'd love love LOVE a story where the Doctor and Steven meet the Doctor and Jamie. And Peter and Frazer get to have a Doctor-off. I suppose the best two teams would be Steven meets Jamie, Ben and Polly. Steven got so close to meeting the second Doctor anyway, he can meet the team that replaced him. And pitting them against BF's B&W Master would fit the epic nature. And be nicely cute in bringing him over from the David Bradley Adventures.

No Tennant? But it does include the fake Third Doctor? Hrm... :\ Edit: That was a little negative of me. This group of writers is stellar, and finally having Benny and River cross paths sounds pretty amazing! I think there are better ways of phrasing it than 'fake'.

Have pre-ordered and grateful for Big Finish revealing who the Doctor / companion teamups are on Twitter, though I think they’d have been better putting that in the announcement!
Fourth story being TBA is interesting; Tennant perhaps?

First time an audio with Treloar that Jon Pertwee has been used on the cover and not been blacked out.

Anyone else feel like they're deliberately putting off revealing who the Fifth Doctor is going to be with?

Anyone else feel like they're deliberately putting off revealing who the Fifth Doctor is going to be with? On one hand I’m imagining that they’re gearing up to reveal that Five will be with Jenny and/or 10 in an hour’s time, but on the other hand that seems like wishful thinking and I wouldn’t be surprised if they just said “Oh yeah and Five will be having a side adventure on his on while all this is going on”

Question for the continuity experts amongst us
If it comes after 6 and Charley's first 2 meetings with Menzies, then would it have to be Mila? Or is there enough scope in the dialogue for a meeting between their 1st and 2nd meetings in Condemned and Raincloud Man?

Five with Jenny and Ten would be a fun family romp, but I'd honestly be more than satisfied to have just her and Five so she can keep calling him "dad" and I can revel in the wink-to-the-camera cheesiness of that (Now that I've said that, watch as they announce his story features neither of them in any capacity)

I'm also very curious about it being an 8-disc set, but it only (well, not ONLY, but you know) having six stories. Is one story double-length? Are there TWO discs of bonus/behind-the-scenes material?

Going by previous high profile releases (LATE, 10DAs) there will likely be 2 discs of extras. The first will be the normal extras we get with most releases, while the second will be a general documentary / intro to big finish with promotion for all the doctors / ranges the BF does aimed at casual listeners who haven't tried those ranges.

I would guess extended interviews on one Disc and a BF Range Sample Disc on the other (like they do the 10DA Boxsets).

Unless it’s set after Blue Forgotten Planet for both of them, which seems like the less likely option. It does seem strange though that The Legacy Of Time is listed as part of the Charlotte Pollard Range yet The Last Adventure and none of her other Adventures with Six are.

Oh that's Interesting considering Series 3 (whenever it arrives) is supposed to be the last.

Judging by the fact it's now a fair way past the hour, it looks like they're not telling us who the Fifth Doctor's story is going to involve today... That's... interesting
