Oh am sure she is lined up...do not expect BF to miss a trick. I enjoyed Donnas stories and am sure when she is in full swing they can only get better.I thought Cold Vengeance and Sword were wonderfully era perfect.Infamy i actually have still to listen to (i feel its probably jokey)not a fan of Jokey but am sure i will be proved wrong.Freema cant wait. From what Nick has said on the podcast I do get the impression that Freema isn't keen to return. My understanding (can't remember from where, this is definitely hearsay) is that Freema felt a bit mistreated by the producers; she'd been contracted to do two series of Doctor Who but the fan reaction to Rose's follow-up wasn't great simply due to Martha's position as the "rebound girl." So the producers decided to replace her with Catherine Tate. Yet they still had her under contract so rather than let her find other work right off leaving Doctor Who, they pulled her in for guest-appearances throughout Donna's season, as well as those three Torchwood episodes which were actually centered on Owen anyways, giving him all the juicy material any actor would love to sink their teeth into, while Freema's material was to provide exposition and moral support. Which must be frustrating for any actor, especially if they're just itching to make the most of their Who-heightened profile in landing new roles.
Then they had thoughts of having her join Torchwood as a main cast member, but by this point her experiences with the franchise were leaning in a negative direction, so the most she agreed to was cameo-ing in David Tennant's finale.
But... this is all unconfirmed, of course; I'm just a know-nothing fan like anyone else. To me, though, this would explain Freema's reluctance to rejoin the franchise for audio-plays.
I wonder what might happen if David Tennant reached out to her and made a good case? They seemed to get along well in behind-the-scenes footage and she showed up for his finale, but who knows?
But all my speculation aside, it's fully possible she's simply too busy with bigger projects to schedule in radio-plays right now, but might find time later in her career?

Can't help but feel Big Finish need to get better at this kind of thing? I believe that's Torchwood and all three Tenth Doctor sets leaked this way... Well ... it is Tennant and Torchwood, are the random 6th Doctor main range stuff gonna get leaked Probably not The Radio Times was reporting that Jenny TDD was getting a boxset long before Big Finish said anything

Hmm... if this is true I will also get this! Donna is so much better than Rose; and then.. Wilf! Although I have to say the previous 10th Doctor releases, while not bad, were not the best or my favorite works from Big Finish. I think somehow something was missing, maybe it needed longer, connected stories like in the 8th Doctor sets. And I alsolutely agree, Judoon in Chains was great! But I liked the Classic Doctors/ New Monsters sets in general, because they gave new facettes to these aliens. The Judoon and especially the Sontarans got some added depth and were used as more than just comic relief and one-trick ponies. So if this new box set is on par with the writing of Judoon in Chains, this might be the best 10th Doctor release so far. There is hope. I think it’s because they are ...”safe” like it’s more about nostalgia and making them suit S4 than Big Finish’s crazy and experimental other(mainly classic) Doctor Who stuff

I'm so glad to have this forum and all the lovely people who call this place home. In my excitement I posted the image to the Big Finish Listener Facebook page this morning and as I write this I am no longer a member of the group. I think my favorite comment for why I should not have posted it is that in doing so I was hurting the feelings of everyone connected with this production. Or something like that. Anyway, thank you all for being fantastic. ❤️❤️❤️

Anyway, thank you all for being fantastic. You're welcome, we can't help being fantastic! Seriously, what sort of BF 'fans' would a) complain about such a scoop and b) not be DU members and so know already.
This forum is where we belong, lined up waving our wallets and credit cards in the general direction of BF's website, chanting 'What do we want? 'Pre-order!' 'When do we want it?' 'Now!' 'Wilf! Wilf! Wilf! Wilf!'
etc.
Far from having 'hurt feelings', BF must be delighted to have such a loyal fanbase!

I guess they're big enough to not be reprimanded for it.

We did have a few members here who were upset about the Jodie footage leaking....some people only like news when it comes from the source directly I guess. I'd only really see their POV if it ruined BF's plans for announcements - but they've not done the week long teases in a while.

I don't really see the correlation. It's not going to get pulled for such a small reason that no-one will care much about when the stories are officially announced. The sky didn't fall when Blogtor Who leaked Volume 1. In fact Cameron who wrote the piece ended up working for BBC Worldwide months later. It's today's news, tomorrow's fish n chips wrappers. I think the bigger, but much more niche concern, for anyone into Doctor Who spinoffs is that apparently the new branding regime are not fond of fan audios, writing and films. The Seasons Of War guys have already had threats from the Beeb.

It might even be someone at the bbc not Big Finish Why not leak stuff for (arguable) the most popular new Who era? Get more clicks and buzz

The website which reported the iTunes was saying the 7th of October got a legal letter from the Beep threatening them and basically confirming it was correct too

Do you guys think a production team would ever pull the license from Big Finish ? What would have to happen for that ? As Big Finish have the rights until 2025 so (I’d assume) after Chibnall and Whittaker have gone
