If Anyone wants to add their thoughts to these questions that were posed
1. Ace - How do you feel about her introduction to Gallifrey? What are the key differences we see in Ace here compared to her more mainstream Doctor Who appearances?
2. Romana/ Trey - What do you feel are the key differences between this regeneration and earlier incarnations? Is she better at her job in this body?
3. The Adherents of Ohm - would you like to learn more about this unexplored chapter of Doctor Who lore?
4. And finally....What in blue blazes happened to Narvin and Ace?
Bonus Question Narvin - Narvin has proved incredibly popular with our listeners, but would you trust him?
Regards

I shouldn't tease people about typos but "Callifrey" sounds like it must be a wonderful Blake's 7-Doctor Who crossover that I never knew I wanted to hear until now, thanks :-)
Some really good questions, most of them too good for me actually.
I'm very glad to have Ace in Gallifrey, for her prospects with the Time Lord Academy to have a chance to go somewhere. I'd greatly enjoy for her to remain present and have even a minor role in the Time War, I just think she'd absolutely relish the unparalleled opportunity to dismantle a few Daleks and probably more so to get do it the old-fashioned way. That would be so much fun to hear.
Trey, I'm not sure we got enough of for me to compare fine details with Romana I or II, and I seem to recall her as being a little bit enigmatic, probably for dramatic purposes, at least in places? I did feel like Trey was very plausibly the same person as her earlier incarnations though, which was very impressive since Romana is probably my favorite companion twice over and that's bound to make me a tough sell for a new incarnation. (I read that Juliette Landau was into doing vampire stuff last I checked, would probably be as lovely to have her do some Dark Shadows as more Gallifrey)
Narvin, I think I would "trust, but verify"? :-)

So are these your questions or those posed by Big Finish on Facebook? 1, was she introduced? She just seemed to turn up. I would like to hear the story where she comes to Gallifrey. Plus I agree with barnabaslives I would have liked to hear her in the Time War. I did wonder if Gallifrey would send her back in Time to prevent the Doctor’s regeneration from Seven into Eight as they think that Seven would be happier to fight in the War. 2, we didn’t get to hear enough of Trey to find out. I certainly accepted her as the third face of Romana (I will not say the third incarnation because I still have my pet theory about that) 3, a secret society is always fun and one set within Gallifrey is even more fun. 4, Narvin seems to have grown into a reliable companion to Romana, but I preferred him in the earlier series when you never knew if he could be trusted.

Thank you for the clarification. Was there anything interesting that came out of the discussions?

Similar to what you to what you said in regards to Ace in that she just randomly turns up, but does she add anything to it?
About a fifty/fifty split whether they want more Trey or not.
Brax is a swine but dose he act for the greater good? Interestingly when compared to the Doctor, Brax is coming off worse because the audience feel the ends he goes for don't justify his means, and the "Brother" debate still goes on.

So no insight into the thinking behind this release then and why Trey has not returned.
For me the best thing about this release was Gyles Brandreth - I would have liked to hear more from him. He made a perfect Time Lord.

I live in (the almost certainly vain) hope that some day we'll get Gallifrey 7.1: Omega War.

He made a perfect Time Lord. Not yet Regarding Trey, the audience feeling about the Release is decent diversion if not the best intro to the Range. Occasionally BF give the direct "Answer" to a talking point but they haven't on any this time yet.

Late to the party, but never mind. 1. Ace’s introduction to Gallifrey works well by just having her be there, though would be nice to know how she got there. She seems a bit more mature than her other audios, but other than that seems fairly the same as always. 2. She seems much less authoritative, maybe world weary. She’s still very much the same person though. 3. Adherents are a neat concept. Not really much else to them. 4. Thought Narvin and Ace were just left in the dead TARDIS, did I miss something there? Trusting Narvin seems a dangerous game, but if he’s on your side then you’re more likely to win (well...mostly). It is odd that Intervention Earth ended up as this side-step. I haven’t heard Enemy Lines yet (it’s sitting in the app for tomorrow) so no idea if any plot points are paid off, but obviously Landau’s Romana has disappeared completely. Were sales just not great? Did Bob Baker get fussy over the use of Omega (since Omega’s meant to have a role in whatever the K-9 film project is these days)? It’s just very odd to have a story seemingly designed as a first chapter, and then have no further parts.
