I've noticed that the Short Trips range has been running stories with Companions from the first eight Doctors on a regular cycle. If it runs according to schedule, April will be an 8th Doctor story. Oddly, Big Finish hasn't said anything about the releases for April and beyond yet.
Perhaps, under their new license, we'll continue on to later Doctors for the first time.
I expect we'll hear Short Trips from both Capt. Jack and Donna, if not from other Companions of New Series Doctors.
And if the next War Doctor box set introduces a Big Finish companion, then I expect a Short Trip for the War Doctor as well.

Please we all know they have more ways to steal our money in 2016. Big Finish have not revealed all of their dasterdly plans to make us all beggars in the street just yet. We both know what that means - Bandril Empire is coming. aet during the Time War, someone steps into the void left by the Daleks focusing solely on rhe Time Lords, and there's no Doctor to defeat them this time.....

From this week's This Week at BF Article
This week the Big Finish team have been busy preparing for a very exciting 2016 – including some top secret projects in studio that we're not going to mention just yet!
So things are happening...
I reckon mid-Feb-Early March we'll get a few new Pre-Orders.
Regards

My guess is mainly new series related with an odd classic series announcement. Probably The Third Doctor Adventures 2, The Tenth Doctor Adventures Volume 2 starring Freema Ageyman, Jago & Litefoot & Strax & Madam Vastra and new series Short Trips.

Didn't David Tennant insist the Tenth Doctor sets be with Donna?

I don't see why he'd have a problem with then playing 10 with Martha, followed by 10 with Rose a year after that.

I hadn't heard that, but that could be interpreted several ways: (1) He was initially asked to do them solo, but he asked that they bring in Catherine Tate (2) He asked to do his first set with Catherine Tate (3) The box sets will all be with Donna, but other companions will feature in the yet-to-be-revealed 10DA range. I prefer to imagine it's option (3).

All I know is that 10 is in the fold, as is Donna. And that is a good start. Personally I'd love to have a box set or two with 10 & Sarah Jane's Bannerman Road kids.

I'm also hoping we'll see Tennant in a River Song boxed set.

Why only use classic series Doctors when they can use new series ones now also? While I think it'll be an inevitable move one day, I can't see it happening anytime in the future. I'd imagine Big Finish wants to keep the revival Doctor releases as much as an event as possible and such tales will be box set only for some time to come. Also, The Churchill Diaries seems to be the testing ground for narration-based adventures for the wider audience coming in for the revival releases.

I disagree, I think DWM proved there are some interesting stories to tell with Clara splinters. I'm sure there are, but that doesn't change my opinion it's best left forgotten. Just because there is good that comes from it, doesn't change that it made Clara a GOD. It removed any time that the Doctor saved himself by being clever and made it instead The doctor was saved by someone else, every time. And now you want to make Ace leaving a part of that for nothing more than "Look, It's Jenna Coleman" or "Look, see it is the same show". I don't need the validation. It's the same show. Eh, I don't see how it takes away The Doctor's intellect at all. There have been plenty of times companions have gotten The Doctor out of a many scrape - and as much as The Doctor is an alien super genius, he is not infalliable and certiantly not agasint an enemy who is omnipotent.

It's all escapes. She became the girl who saved him always and forever. Because it was in his entire timeline, not just his past. I'm fine with a companion saving the doctor. I'm not fine with the doctor never saving himself. Which is what splinter Clara becomes. It doesn't remove intellect, I didn't say that. If I had a problem with Stephen Moffat, it would be that he seems to demean the doctor to make his characters stand taller. I see it with River, I see it with Clara. It's unsettling in many ways. But of course this is my opinion.

I'm not sure how that explains Dalek Clara. Or even Victorian Clara. We don't see any hint of how the Great Intelligence went back, and affected his timeline. We're told that she reverses what he put wrong. But in the two adventures we see with Splinter Clara, we don't see how it was put wrong, there is no hint to go back and look for, none I've seen at least.
