Well that is a nice surprise announcement.
I was right that it would be three single disks starring the Eighth Doctor and a pair of short trips. However I didn’t see those two Masters lead trips coming. I had expected those to cover the Ninth Doctor.
But I must say I am very happy with what we have already, and still a tease of something else to come!
The bundle has been ordered!

Plus a tease of one more "very special release" yet to be announced... Hmm I wonder what that could be? Starts with a C and ends in an N maybe. Finally! The return of the Chimeron!

It's nice that the Short Trips can be utilised to support existing ranges. I thought it was great when they did it for the Eighth Doctor Time War set and it's good to see it done again for Time Lord Victorious. I think it's a nice way to add to the backstory without being grand about it.

TLV-Short trips+TLV1 Both are released in October.So i guess the listening order is not important?

I’d guess if there’s a chronology it’ll just be release order which atm seems to be two novels bookending the audios. So we’ll have to see which gets released first, Short Trips or Eight’s first instalment.

Isn't it odd that there hasn't been any Time Lord Victorious Audios with David Tennant?

So when that whole Chris Eccleston contributor page thing went down, I fished through the numbers around him and pretty much every name that didn't have anything attached to it was related to these releases. Whatever that means! (ALSO: Four out of the five writers for this project are women, which is great!)
Hmmmm what a coincidence

he did record audio for the lockdown gridlock sequel and there is the rumors that {Spoiler} David and Alex Kingston recorded for a boxset recently not to mention possible audio cameos for the martha jones boxset

Bit underwhelmed by this annoucement - BF's blurbs don't have the excitement or the scope (or much of a sense of what TLV is all about) that the books had. The Short Trips did pique my interest, if only for the probability that we might have an actor to play the Delgado and Ainley roles from now on, but I do wonder whether BF might get a bit reliant on Jon Culshaw.

Hopefully when this final BF release is announced they will let people who ordered the bundle add it on.

Hopefully when this final BF release is announced they will let people who ordered the bundle add it on. I suppose it depends on what the release is. If it’s a grand, limited edition packaging release with a few stories, then I can’t imagine that being incorporated into a bundle? If it’s another single disc release, then I agree a bundle add-on would be good.

So, when are we thinking that BF will announce the “very special release”? The wait is going to kill me!

My money is on that the "very special release" includes David. Maybe David and Paul going up against each other? I do not believe all the hyped rumors that Chris might be coming back. I think that is highly unlikely considering his backstory.
