I’d bet that MacQueen and Simms Master will get on like a house on fire. Having a good chuckle whilst Beevers Master just shakes his head disapprovingly.

A new audiobook, eh? That's tempting. I wonder if it will be available separately after a while? Anyway, I'm quite excited for more Macqueen. And John Simm! That was unexpected. I must confess I really did not like his Master in his Tennant-era outings, but when he returned alongside Capaldi, I was very impressed. Here's hoping it's that version we're getting here. Pretty sure they will sell the audiobook separately later.
And I am with you on Simm- I also found him utterly annoying during the 10th Doctor era, but he was great in series 10.
I think we are in for a real treat here.
My suspicion is that it will remain exclusive to the deluxe edition - I can't think of any precedent for something like this being released separately later.

I just cannot believe they would not make this available later on. Maybe after a couple of years.

D6-D8 - a new, narrated audiobook featuring the Third Doctor, the Master and UNIT How new is new? This could easily be a new recording of an old book.

John Simm doing Big Finish! Hopefully opening the door to more John Simm Big Finish stories in the future.
Alex MacQueen is back! With all these tv Masters now doing BF stories and no sign of him, I was worrying we'd heard the last of Alex MacQueen's Master. I'm glad to find out that's not the case.
Milo Parker as the Master? Well this mystery will keep things interesting as we spend all of 2020 waiting for this story.
Then you consider the other Masters in the story. They're already doing Big Finish so their appearances aren't big news but when you consider how talented all those actors are and that they're all in the same release together... This is by far my most anticipated future release BF have announced.
I'll be sticking to the standard edition though. It's the Masterful story itself that I'm interested in.

I hope the packaging is something more lucrative than The Legacy of Time! I prefer The Legacy to Time digipak packaging over the previous cardboard-only limited edition booklets that housed special releases such as: The Light at the End and The Last Adventure. Yes, you do regrettably lose those extra pages of pictures, but the plastic trays offered within The Legacy of Time set is far superior in NOT scratching the MEAT of the product...the all important discs! On the bright side for some, The Legacy of Time limited edition will now probably have a matching set of the same physical mass.

Personally after The Legacy of Time and the utter disappointment I felt opening that limited edition I am reluctant to spend that much without a few physical extras. I agree about the housing of the discs, but they should have built in a booklet at least. Once bitten, twice shy, which with such a low run number could mean I miss out, but I want to know more about what I would be paying for.

As excited as I am for Simm, can I just take a sec here and say how completely and utterly jazzed I am that Alex Macqueen is finally back?! It's been so long since we've heard his Master, or even heard anyone at Big Finish say much about him, that was worried there had been some kind of falling out and that he would never be back. Rarely am I so pleased to be wrong. I cannot wait to hear his lunatic Master again! MacQueen is the main reason why I'm totally thrilled and excited right now, you're not alone. He's my favorite Master and I was afraid it would take even longer for him to come back to BF since he's been absent since 2016 now and has missed several important Master stories this year. What a relief !

I know that John Simm coming to Big Finish is big news, but I am most intrigued about having another new Master....Young Master Milo! Thinking about it I am surprised Big Finish didn’t keep him as a reveal a little later to give the pre-orders an extra boost. I am also wondering if Milo Parker as The Master might make an appearance before Jan 2021..?

I’m a little disappointed that we’ve still got Gatiss subbing for Kisgart, I know Kisgart has been banned from Oxford AND Cambridge for moving all of the Bodlean’s copies of rhe Bible to rhe Fiction section, but that shouldn’t mean he can record for Big Finish.

Well Gatiss does a decent impression of Kisgart as a recast at least, but I really hope the latter one is in good terms with Big Finish. I would be so sad if we didn't get to see him again someday.

Upon listening to some Big Finish stories I think to myself, "Well, they're never going to top that." I remember the first time that happened - The Light at the End, my first story. Then we got the War Doctor series. Then I heard Dark Eyes and Doom Coalition. Then The Two Masters. Then several others. And now we have this. I may not have even heard it yet, but this has all the ingredients to be phenomenal. And we won't get it until 2021... The wait begins

Am I being a bit thick, but why are they not using James drefuss, have they had a fall out? Although no official statement has been made to this effect, it seems pretty certain that Dreyfus has been dropped following his transphobic comments. The only stuff with him that will be released is what was already recorded before the fallout.

So I just pre ordered the boxset.. Interesting to note for us Australians, the "per order charge" has already increased by a couple dollars.. Because of the UK vote yesterday?
OUCH..
Worked out to AUST $105 .
