Does Big Finish need to get script or plotline approval from BBC? Or are the latter happy for BF to do whatever they like?

Basically, yes. They need to approve everything. These stories aren't allowed to negate the tv show.

All outlines go to the BBC even short trips. I understand they see scripts as well for modern Who

It can take days or weeks for approval and there’s no negotiation

I recall they stopped a BF story a couple/few years ago as they were bringing back a certain villian/monster on the tv show. An 11th Dr story

Agatha Christie was originally supposed to appear in The Magic Mousetrap but the BBC vetoed it because she was appearing in The Unicorn and the Wasp.

I suppose they could always throw it in the Unbound universe...

I Doubt it The BBC wont allow The Unbound range to continue with New Doctors however Big Finish can still use the Unbound Doctors that they already created Michael Jayston, Arabella Weir and David Warner (who is still continuing adventures with Bernice) but sadly they cant create new doctors

Wasn’t it the BBC vetoing the use of the Master the reason Big Finish couldn’t state who Professor Stream really was in the Hollows of Time?

I have just looked it up in Vortex 129 letters page Nick said.. “The whole Unbound thing is rather fascinating, it’s something I’ve been thinking about quite seriously recently. When some concrete plans are formulated you’ll be the first to know, Jimi... along with everyone else of course!“ Now these plans could just relate to the David Warner Doctor and not include any new incarnations. Or Unbound might mean “what if” parallel timeline stories for the existing Doctors.

Hopefully the whole Unbound thing gets sorted and that BF can create more new doctors if not then yeah the What if Parallel Stories with the official Doctors is a great idea for a range can easily see 8 and 10 having those kind of stories in all honesty
