I’m liking the flexibility of story formats in Series 13 across the three sets; looks to be a mixture of 2, 4 & 6 parters. I guess there could be a 5 and a 3 thrown into the mix for good measure, but that seems less likely! I think this series is probably the best indication of how the Doctor ranges will be looking moving forward. Set is a 4-parter and a 2-parter (there was a reference on Khan/Salinsky's website to their story being "hour-long"); Set 2 is presumably 2:2:2; and Set 3 is presumably also 4:2. I don't think there's any 6-parters. Sorry, that’s my mistake there. You’re absolutely right. I thought the Sea Devils story was a 6 parter and the Khan / Salinsky story would be a 2 parter to round it up to 8. Given they’re 3 disc sets it can’t be 8 episodes, will be 6 maximum. I’m hopeless at maths!

I have fingers crossed that Dominant Species will bring the Quarks and Dominators to Big Finish (I can live in hope!). Their rights do sit with Andy Frankham-Allen/Candy Jar and BF seems to be doing business with them more and more! (P.S. I'd love to see Culshaw headline an adaptation of The Forgotten Son)

I’ve not read Forgotten Son, but it sounds that you rate it as a story. I think it’s optimistic of anyone to hope for an adaptation of an existing story to audio given the lukewarm performance of the novel adaptations. However, having Comic Strip adaptations become a thing just goes to show you never can tell! 🤞 Oh, absolutely, long shot for sure. Though the main difference IMO is that if successful, it could be the first part of a spinoff series, bringing the LS series into the world of audio, rather than just another standalone DW novel/comic!

Beginning to think Big Finish has Tom Baker locked in a studio somewhere in England and they're not gonna let him out.
