So 2 days left in the month, 2 releases left, nothing released today. They are really pushing this Lovecraft thing until the last moment. You know, I'm actually wondering if it will be released at all

You know, I'm actually wondering if it will be released at all It honestly wouldn’t surprise me if much like some of the Fifth Doctor Adventures they delayed their release until next year. If only to avoid a backlash or any accusations of being insensitive considering the current social climate.

The delay for the 5th Doctor audios was mostly due to the coronavirus outbreak I think, not because of (supposedly) BLM concerning The Lovecraft Invasion. I don't see BF not releasing the audio at all and delaying it with no explanation whatsoever. We'll see I guess.

Although if this story is dealing with the issues of racism it may have been better if we didn't have an all white TARDIS Team. When was the last time the main range had a recurring companion who wasn't white?

If (emphasis on if) BF are delaying the release because it deals with race issues I think they’re overreacting. People have issues with racism in media that isn’t acknowledged to be bad/is encouraged, and although I obviously haven’t heard the story I doubt that BF would make anything that encourages that sort of mindset.

More than the delay of the release, the fact that they are doing it without any official comment makes it worse. People will speculate about the worst scenarios possible.

It's funny there's been no comment from the powers that be, either reassuring or advising caution. My money is on the fact that Lovecraft is treated sympathetically by the main characters, despite an accurate portrayal, and that's where they think the controversy will be. Pure speculation on my part of course.
In retrospect they should have cited production difficulties and brought Time Apart forward, if that was possible. Lovecraft could have slipped out unnoticed mid November.

Whats the worst case scenario? That's its pulled entirely which would be a shame as the story's theme is to explore the concept of Can you separate the Art from the Artist which in regards to Lovecraft is one of the more challenging examples.

What’s betting the Martha Jones set will be announced tomorrow morning (anniversary of Last of the Time Lords) and The Lovecraft Invasion is quietly released at the same time?

Regards mark687 BF are not a big enough company to be able to pull something that's already been recorded, edited and had post-production completed. Worth considering that given they've already had to delay The Lost Resort and Perils/Nightmare of the Daleks to 2021, and we don't know if Sylvester is able to record remotely or even if they managed to finish the trilogy that starts with The Flying Dutchman/Displaced before lockdown hit, it may be the case that the monthly range schedule can't be rearranged any more than it already has been...

A Cool idea if They cant get Sylvester is perhaps they could record some 8th Doctor Main Range Stories as a replacement instead but yeah i guess it would be really hard and time consuming to edit and record it all together by then

Could it actually be a BBC decision not to allow it to be released, or hopefully just not released right now?
It's probably not the best time for Doctor Who in an adventure with an anti-semitic, misogynistic, racist, even if the story itself holds him to account for his views.

Be interesting if that is the case because then I would've expected a definite statement. Regards mark687
