If Eccleston is indeed in Out of Time, I'm not at all surprised they didn't announce it. Announcing Eccelston's return today and then announcing his first multi-Doctor story down the road = twice as much publicity, which is just a smart move all around.

Big Finish have themselves said that they like to make as many impacts as possible, which is why we rarely get full details of releases as soon as they're announced.
I do wonder if OOT1 will end with the reveal of a Doctor for 2

It's a double edged sword, isn't it? The potential surprises in Out of Time 2 & 3 shouldn't alter the lack of information or marketing we're getting for the first release. And when an attractive bundle price is being offered, there should be some efforts to give an indication of what to expect to influence the customers decision.
I understand that any potential Eccleston involvement in Out of Time would be reliant on his range being revealed first, but it might also be a good idea to make another splash in the coming fortnight before the release of the first volume. Revealing a Doctor at the end of the first is one of those brilliant ideas on paper, but it's of no use if you didn't buy the first one because you're holding out on further news in order to get the bundle. You could argue that the bundle pricing is there to encourage customers to take a risk, which I can see, but I think it'd have to be a little cheaper for that; getting one release entirely free, for example.
It's a unique one for Big Finish, as you tend to know what to expect with their other ranges and bundles. You know you're getting two sets of the War Master, four sets of the Paternoster Gang, the Eighth Doctor in the Time War, etc. I don't even think we know that this is three multi-Doctor stories do we? But as it's unique, it should be dealt with differently, and I don't think it is at the moment.

I don't even think we know that this is three multi-Doctor stories do we? We do:
Producer David Richardson added: “As fans we’re fascinated by the idea of different incarnations of the Doctor meeting, and Out of Time celebrates that. It’s a series where pairs of Doctors come together to battle a familiar enemy - and we begin with Tom Baker and David Tennant battling Daleks together. How brilliant is that? And there’s lots of exciting combinations yet to come.”

Ah, thank you, missed that one. I'm still not convinced that's enough information and it still makes it distinctly different to purchasing a bundle from the likes of the Eighth Doctor, War Master, UNIT, etc. I do understand why they may have held back on, say, Eccleston (if he's in it!), and acknowledge it's a double edged sword, but it still strikes me as being unique and needs to be promoted / marketed accordingly. And it still doesn't stop the marketing for the first one; we still have no trailer or a real publicity push. You never know, we might get a trailer this afternoon that's heavily promoted, an announcement of the remaining two volumes next week and then the T Baker / Tennant interaction at the end of the month and what I am saying is moot!

Everyone looks great in it! They do!
8 looks dangerous somehow, the dark side of Eight in bright colours. 'A Fistful of Sonic' or 'Now I know what you're thinking, do I have 5 regenerations left or only 4. D'you feel lucky, Dalek?'
10 looks especially good, the style carries the colours. There are genuine cricket club members' outfits (dating to Victorian times) that are far less restrained than that! 11 looks like a Gallifreyan Willy Wonka, but without the mean side. Anyone got a Third Doctor version? The jacket he did already; imagining the mustard-velour trousers and what do you think for the frilly shirt? Green? ('Oooh Doctor, you look grooovy!' 'Thank you Jo, I like to fit in with the times.' (Brig. rolls eyes silently while Benton goggles and Yates discovers he has a sudden cough... ) )

I'm thinking Matt looks more Harold Lloyd there!

If something were to come out this week, my money would be on the DW Main Range episode and the Six and Peri box set.

We've not even got a trailer yet Someone theorised either on here or GB (can’t remember which) that they might go all-in with the promo the day this is released. So that the Tennant fans who might not normally go for BF stuff see this all over social media and can buy and listen to it instantly. Although that’s just someone’s guess so we could well be waiting for a trailer before release yet.

You'd think Tennant, Baker and Daleks would be the easiest sell ever.

Looked at my account of the Preorders i did and i clicked on the Out of Time 2 and 3 to see if there was any information and it came up with
Out of Time 2 slated for June 2021
and weirdly enough Out of Time 3 is out for March 2021
Does this mean that its kinda playing out of sequence maybe similar to the new adventures Bernice summerfield Sutekh set with the rearranging of stories
