The fifth volume was leaked a while ago but the sixth was a surprise. This and Torchwood are my favourite Big Finish series so I’m glad we’re getting more instalments.

Derek Jacobi seems to have taken quite a shine to audio. He certainly has the voice for it.

Good news and bad news. Good news: MORE WAR MASTER! Bad news: ouch, my poor wallet.
Hearts of Darkness: Conrad again?

More War Master is always good. One of my favourite incarnations, Derek Jacobi is superb in the role and he’s had a cracking run so far on the whole. I loved the showdown between him and the Doctor in Rage of the Time Lords, so another one will be intriguing, and Paul McGann’s best Time War performance is always outside his own range.
A nice mixture of writers too!

It's that time of year again that we play "mind wipe or no mind wipe"
(I'm just playing, I'm very excited for this really)

I thought Vols 1&2 were some of the best stuff Big Finish has ever done. Wasn’t quite as keen on Vol 3 but I didn’t think it was bad though Vol 4 wasn’t really my cup of tea. But I’m excited nonetheless as when this range is good it absolutely hits it out of the park.
Has anyone else noticed the revamped theme tune in the trailer? It’s a bit hard to hear underneath the action though it’s easier heard with headphones and sounding good!

Yeah, it’s a nice little variant, isn’t it? I hope that’s going to be a new feature, rather than specially made for the trailer! I love the cover for Hearts of Darkness. It’s simple, distinct and eye catching. I wonder who the couple of returning faces for Killing Time? My instant thought was Susan and Romana II, only because they have involvement in the Time War and haven’t met the War Master yet. I could be wrong, though!

Ah yes, more of one of Big Finish’s best series.
A second War Master/Doctor clash, sure why not. Volume 5 does sounds like its putting the Doctor in an anatagonist role, which might set it apart from Volume 3.

Well this all sounds very exciting!
I didn’t expect to be ordering more War Master before Masterful, but very pleased to be doing so.
The only complaint I have is in regards to the cover - I suppose they don’t have very many pictures of Derek as the Master, but I thought the image used on Master of Callous was photoshopped and was a little off...so to use the exact same image on this was a bit unfortunate. The composition itself is good enough, I just wish a different image had been used for the Master.

I know that the range has a different placeholder, but I think this is a placeholder to specifically remind people McGann will be in this set. My main reason for thinking this is that none of the cast info is present on the current image, and if an image is missing all of the appropriate text it seems more like a placeholder. I could be wrong, but I sense the final cover will be different to what we're currently seeing.

Ah yes I see what you mean there are not the usual cast listings at the bottom and comparing it to the other covers it does look basic. I take it all back as a placeholder cover it is very good! I look forward to seeing the final one. The article did say... cover artwork will be revealed nearer to the release date But I had thought that was referring to volume six.

Like I say, I could be wrong. It could just be awaiting cast text. They seem to be trying not to reuse the same McGann images though, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see...

I had the same thoughts with the cover, maybe with this and the next lot of lost stories they're starting to have placeholders for specific releases rather than the generic range placeholders

It similar to the place holder cover they have with John Simm for Masterful

Honestly part of me wonders if this is a Prequel To Rage of The Time Lords
also i wonder if Volume 6 will feature {Spoiler} Susan, The Brigadier, Romana 2 as the classic characters that were mentioned
