Do we know if the download is included with the vinyl, if not the behind the scenes? The news article has been amended to say that a download is included with the vinyl.

That was pretty minor compared to some of their crashes. Some of the 8DAs and Dark Eyes 1 were much worse.

Well I wasn't expecting that.
Even though Eccleston was my least favourite Doctor for a long time, I find this news incredibly exciting. I'm a little curious as to what these stories are going to be like, given how tight Eccelston's era was would seem to make some restrictions, but I trust Big Finish to make it work.

I mean they could throw a new companion in as long Rose is at a alien holiday Spa. I hope we actually get a new companion. Shame that its unlikley we'll get to see Mickey or Jackie.

I thought I was dreaming when I saw the news!!!! This is so exciting he’s my first Doctor and I never thought he would come back!😯😃 Hopefully this means he will be back for the 60th too and that Matt and especially Peter won’t be to far behind doing BF too!🤞😃 I wonder if Rose and Jack will be 9’s BF companions or if he will get any audio only companions? Ooo now I wonder what villains they will have him up against?! And what crossovers they could do?! This is exciting!!!!😃 Eccleston wasn't exactly enamored with some of Barrowman's more adult antics on set, quite infamously, which he confirmed in his book while John has said in interviews he much preferred working with Tennant as Eccleston was grumpy and too intense for him. So I would have said I thought it unlikely for them to work together again but after today? I think all bets are off.. I'd love to see a new companion for Eccleston personally. Really expand his era. It would be cool if 9 had a historical or alien companion! Or maybe another northerner!😀

I'm sure they could fit a new companion in somewhere, Charlie Higson's short story The Beast of Babylon is set between the defeat of the Nestene Consciousness at the end of Rose when he briefly leaves & returns after the events of that story.

Jackie has been in a lot of Tenth Doctor Adventures, Captain Jack box sets and short trips now, I think she'll most likely be in one box set at least.

That story actually directly plugs the gap and doesn’t leave any space for more stories. That’s not to say that BF couldn’t just ignore the continuity of that story. And actually, I hope they do. A short arc with Eccleston meeting a new companion before parting ways with them and deciding to return to Rose would be nice.

Just what Big Finish needed, really and even better news for us. A simple matter of having 9 months to wait now. Checks watch...oh its the 9th today too.

The sets aren’t necessarily going to flow into each other. The might be more like The Tenth Doctor Adventures rather than, say, The War Doctor. We could get a set with Rose, a set of him solo, etc.
Big Finish have been keen to utilise that gap pre-Rose so far; I wouldn’t be surprised to see them prop that up with a bona fide Chris Eccleston adventure.
And an encounter with River has got to happen, surely? A story if not a set.

While I thought it more likely now he's on the con circuit....I thought at BEST they might tempt him to do a one-off trial run - but four boxsets? And like the Tennant ones we've had coming out for my birthday in May? FANTASTIC! Just in time for for rescheduled big finish day 22 May 2021 (My birthday).....lol i know we had our differences but genuinely glad to see you back and active after your truly terrible time.......

And an encounter with River has got to happen, surely? A story if not a set. I'd prefer to get standalones, honestly. It gives more scope for different stories, times and characters. After a while though if either Chris or David do want to do more BF then an arc would be nice, so it doesn't feel like we're constantly getting the middle-season eps. Though you can easily get a dozen adventures of just one-offs without the novelty slightly wearing off. I hope some of the writers have ideas specific to Chris' Doctor and really explore the character.
