I do wonder if it’s an example of ‘fansplaining’. "fansplaining"
is that a real word?
It is now.

It's a good one! And we read it here first; DU will be a footnote in etymological references.

Supremely excited for this. Ticks all my boxes. Tennant, Daleks, Mechanoids, Davros. I just HAD to have the vinyls.

I see Jane Slavin is in the cast list for the 4rth Dr prequel - timeywimeyness, or else she never meets the Dr in it

Exciting stuff to be sure. I'd like it if it's got a vibe of Dalek Empire, where the spectre of The Daleks is always looming even if they're not around. The fallout from their actions, or the looming threat of what they're going to do, can often be much more exciting than using them in person. With Davros, Movellans, Exillon and Mechanoids it seems to have that vibe of going through the eras of Dalek stories, it'd be interesting if the writing style kinda changes to reflect that - Tennant in a Hartnell style story, a Pertwee one etc etc. I hope revealing what Jane Slavin's character did in the 4DAs didn't ruin that series' twist for anyone who hasn't heard it! Interesting to have her back too. Fun to tie the 4th and 10th Doctor eras together so soon after Out Of Time.
As David says in the news piece it's designed as an actual season, like Torchwood's recent boxsets, and that excites me very much as I've said since Tennant signed up for BF that the specials year leaves room for entire eras and new companions, it doesn't need to be one and done stories. I'm so glad BF agree and are going down this route now. I love the 10DAs but there's maybe a sense they're all kinda mid-season runarounds - doing a full season with an arc allows for much more developed storytelling.

Exciting stuff! The first season long story line for the Tenth Doctor at Big Finish. Hopefully the first of many!

Exciting stuff! The first season long story line for the Tenth Doctor at Big Finish. Hopefully the first of many! I sure hope so. Ten is a Doctor who I thought wasn't explored nearly enough and the Special Season era is precisely the time to explore him. This is obviously going to be a success so I can only hope we see more.

He might have also filmed a small cameo for the 60th anniversary as well. Makes sense as Tom has already recorded his lines for The 60th Makes we wonder if Eccleston will do the same
I didn't know that about Baker, is that from the podcast? Nice to know BF is planning ahead in any case!

It is now. It’s great to see 10 back in a full on series of adventures. I’m going to take dorney at his word on the usage of the Daleks. A little ring modulator goes a long way for me but hey, different companions and no TARDIS gives this a different feel right off the bat. Exciting times for BF. And what BF has gotten done with David Tennant is nothing short of a miracle. Pretty much a textbook case of taking lemons and making audio lemonade.

I am offering my opinion on what has been revealed so far, as others have done here in this thread. I obviously know not ever single minute of these 9 hours is going to have daleks in but the thrust of this release is Doctor Who v Daleks, hence the title. I refer the honourable gentleman to my previous answer. Don’t get me wrong, it’s perfectly legitimate to offer an opinion on what is revealed so far (a trailer and a title) and say ‘if this is 9 hours of Daleks then I’m out’ (with the emphasis on the ‘if’). But I might know a little about what the thrust of this release actually is, and it isn’t what you say. So on one hand my opinion is legitimate but also "as ever find out a bit more". As for the fact you may know more I don't remember challenging you on that, & of course any writer for BF can come onto a forum & say something similar, which would be obvious but not very helpful. But I apologies, next time I comment on any BF product announcement I will use an emphatic "if" in any of my opinions be they positive or negative.

And of course the cherry on top is more 4th Doctor as well.

Another preorderer here. My initial reaction was I won’t, or at least I’ll just buy the first box. But then I heard the trailer. Wow. So despite my doubts re writers (I have a bit of a Nick Briggs writing allergy) I’m in for the CD combo bundle. Really pleased to hear more Jane Slavin in that role, having felt somewhat cheated at the end of her 4DA boxes. So yup, bring it on.

But there isn’t much info, so I don’t feel it’s entirely fair to judge the entire series, let alone decide what the thrust of it is. You simply don’t have enough information. If you are deciding to skip something because of the content, it’s always best to make sure that content is actually what you’ve decided it is. You’ll appreciate that it can be frustrating when something like this (or indeed Shadow of the Daleks) gets announced and is immediately dismissed offhand for being something it actually isn’t.

There's a line in the OP, "pulled out of time", but I find the notion puzzling.
Sure, the Time War is in 10's past. But the Time War is always going on at the various whens that it happened at (subject, I suppose, to the restriction that it is "time locked").
Events in Doctor Who time do not happen and then disappear. Postulate time travel and a given even always happened, is always happening, will always happen. Otherwise he'd never have to worry about 'crossing his own timeline', and he couldn't end up meeting himself. The events of any given episode are always happening at the place/time they are set. So there are always times when there are Movellans, when there are Mechanoids, when there is Davros. He doesn't need to be "pulled out of time" to run into them. He just has to land at the right (or is it wrong) place and time. ie, 12 deliberately popping in on a pre-Time War Movellan-Dalek battle ("the pilot").
It's sort of what irked me about the notion of being "Last of the Time Lords". He could always run into some pre-Time War timelord like Drax bumbling about somewhere, even after the Time War from the Doctor's own perspective. Or he could run into his pre-time war self.
So what, really, does it mean to say that ten is "pulled out of time"? He can already go anywhere or anywhen.
Is the idea supposed to be that the Time War involved a whole lot of rewriting and history, such that he is ending up somewhere/somewhen that should not exist because it was rewritten however many times? That's the only sense I can make of it.

I Wonder if its the last of The David T Lock down recordings so far we have: Out of Time Expiry Dating Precious Annihilation Ghosts The Gates of Hell Wink Dalek Universe Volume 1 Episodes 1-3 Dalek Universe Volume 2 Episodes 4-6 Dalek Universe Volume 3 Episodes 7-9 There was also something about him recording a Luther Arkwright sequel, but I think that's probably it.

You’ll appreciate that it can be frustrating when something like this (or indeed Shadow of the Daleks) gets announced and is immediately dismissed offhand for being something it actually isn’t. It is pretty common thing to do on a forum, also people make positive comments based on the scant information provided. That is the point of such early announcements to generate interest/speculation in an upcoming release, some of the positive comments made could equally be wide of the mark in terms of the release content. & if as you say it is perfectly legit to offer an opinion on 'what is released so far' then why respond saying "maybe find out a bit more". At this point I can't can I? No more has been released.I get that it could be offensive to a creator or someone with inside knowledge but, & I don't mean to be offensive (which of course is often the precursor to some offensive comment), this is a forum for fans of BF, there are going to be things said about the releases which creators will not agree with or find frustrating however when creators respond in such a way it gives the impression that they are very thin-skinned. In fact all I actually said was that this release is "not for me". I didn't say it sounds s**t or any other rude responses. From one rather innocuous comment this has grown into a bigger issue, which I admit I am contributing to, but I'm sure you can equally appreciate how frustrating it is for a fan to make a rather simple comment only for a creator to respond saying basically "ahh, you don't know what I know!". We as fans shouldn't feel that our responses our being stymied by a creator who critiques our response based on their insider knowledge that has, as yet, not been made public. Can you honestly say that you have never responded to the announcement of something, a film, book, an album, based on little information or just a teaser trailer for example?
