Glad to have some confirmation that he'll be recording more. It's been lovely having him back and I've been quietly hoping that he'd continue to record.

I'm really happy he's decided to do more. He clearly enjoys working for BF, and it's so nice to see that he's so positive about it.

I cautiously think this is for outside of the currently announced sets. Whether it be more 9 or Macbeth, I want Eccleston around at Big Finish for as long as humanly possible.

youtu.be/LbFq37yhKl8Exciting news from Dragon Con 2021! Chris just confirmed that he will be heading back into the studio in three weeks to record more Big Finish. Big Finish discussion at 13:54 for those interested. A great interview, once again Eccleston is honest about his experiences as Doctor Who, as an actor, as a human being. & then there's this from him, "My favourite Doctor is Jodie Whittaker". & also his opinion on multi-Doctor stories seems to veto any plans for that happening on BF.

I think it also depends on the circumstances too. Something like The Light at the End is unlikely, but something like Collision Course seems likelier given the nature of how they pan out and are recorded. A short, almost generic, interaction that requires the actor to do some extra ad hoc lines at the end of the day.
I’m not sure the actors are even privy in these cases.

Big Finish discussion at 13:54 for those interested. What do we think he's going in for? More 9DAs? Maybe he's going in to do Macbeth, given that he recently said he'd like to do it on audio? Macbeth!....never BF last foray into Shakespeare was a financial disaster, but may be they would do it as a vanity project to sign a deal. sure its just to record the last of the announced box sets, but its great to have him back but i do hope its another run, but surely that's too much too hope for just yet ps i am sorry if things not spelt correct or sounds gibberish etc but struggling to type very well as my sight n coordination not so good at moment......... but not going to let it beat me.......so apology's in advance

If it’s a day of recording, then I don’t see why they would be privy to the specifics. If they’re booked to record a specific story, then potentially, but I can’t see them necessarily doing that in every case. And even so, if they’re recording ad hoc lines on their own, then it’s not always obvious what the context of their recording is, even if they are aware it’s for another release. Not Big Finish specifically, but Hayden Christensen’s Return of the Jedi and the many Marvel bits and pieces spring to mind.

Yup, let's not forget that Gwyneth Paltrow didn't even realise she was in Spiderman: Homecoming...

That's not necessarily the same thing; Marvel actors may be contracted for stuff in general within certain bounds, but I doubt BF would trick their actors into doing stuff without knowing. Also, Gwyneth may have lost track or not being paying attention. She's not exactly known for her firm grasp on reality....

You show me an actor who is booked for one job and ends up recording two and not knowing about it and you end up getting unions involved and furious agents on the phone. I’m sorry but it just should not happen.

They've gotten Tennant in for a couple of other cameos in other projects -- his extended cameos in the Donna set and The Legacy of Time were both done alongside the recording of the third volume of the Tenth Doctor Adventures. Provided Eccleston was OK with it, there's no reason he shouldn't be able to do something similar.

I’m sorry but it just should not happen. I mentioned that I wasn’t entirely sure if actors were privy and you made a definitive statement saying they would be. I questioned that with examples in my response, but you seem to have overlooked that in your response asking me for examples! I’m not saying they won’t necessarily know about separate recordings, but it may not be obvious what the context is, even if they’re aware it’s for another release. That in turn could produce a multi-Doctor interaction with Eccleston, which was the topic of conversation in the first place. Whether it should or shouldn’t happen is another thing, but as I’ve mentioned, I’d have thought it would depend entirely on how it’s being booked and contracted. Doesn’t have to be any form of trickery, could just be the difference between “Chris, how would you like to do a full story with Tom and David?” versus “Chris, could you please just do us these few lines for an upcoming anniversary release we’ve got planned?”.
