It’s a dull cover, but there’s something pleasing about seeing that companion lineup.
It’s a busy three months for River, between Series 5 of her set, The Eighth of March, UNIT and Ravenous!

Am looking forward to Ravenous 3 can it exceed the excitement of 2 Who Knows but its one hell of a cast line up and am a fan of Heffernan ever since his Doom Coalition 3 turn at impersonating the good Doctor.

I am curious as hear how they incorporate all the different characters into something that doesn’t feel crowded or overstuffed.

I did interpret that the Eighth Doctor wouldn’t be in the companion centric story, but that’s still five lead characters to cater for, as well as any potential extras; The Nine, The Eleven, etc. Looking forward to that story in particular. In fact, there’s part of me which hopes it’s nothing to do with the Ravenous arc.

I think I have a suspicion how this multi- companion story will turn out...
We got a hint that the Doctor is not necessarily involved there. Since the Ravenous are specialised in attacking time lords and the cliffhanger ended on intense peril: my guess would be, that the Doctor gets severely injured and they only escape by the skin of their teeth- if at all. Maybe the Doctor even gets captured and kept as a lure. But his companions escape and try to get help, only kept on track by some feverish whispers by the Doctor. This is how and why they assemble the gang, so all help together to stand up against the baddies.
Or we get the tried and tested "meeting friends while in a fever dream"- story.
In any case, we have seen in Ravenous 2 that Liv and Helen can carry the story and that they are quite competent in what they are doing, so having one- and a half or two stories without the Doctor would be possible and worthwhile.
From how the story is going and is set up so far, having the Doctor injured and/or out of the picture would be plausible IMHO.

Part of me wishes we had an hour of 8's former & current traveling companions just going out for drinks and bitching about him.
