This set looks like a lot of fun and the stories sound quite intriguing. Should be a good ride and a nostalgic trip for both the audience and Tennant, I expect. This group are among my favorite companions, but I think I'm most excited for Ten and K-9 to interact. The sheer glee that Tennant had in his scenes with K-9 on Doctor Who was infectious.

Is this Nyssa’s first BF story with a Doctor other than 5? Full-Cast yes but there's the 8th Doctor Time War Short Trip A Heart on Both Sides Regards mark687 |

Talk about bad timing.
Yes, it doesn't matter in any real sense but how many people's first thought is now, "But Ace didn't meet the Doctor after whatever one of her final stories* it actually was."
*Probably not 'Ground Zero'...

Stories sound good and fun not really broken up about the continuity issue as I don’t count 13 and her era in my head canon so ace meeting 10 is all good for me
Cover art is terrible overcrowded and the colours aren’t flattering

I didn’t want to be the first to complain about the cover…I don’t like to complain, but I will happily jump on this bandwagon as I really don’t like this style of cover. And speaking of continuity it really isn’t in keeping with the art style used on the Tenth Doctors previous releases. |

I quite like the art style, but it’s one of those that feels like it needs to be used consistently. That’s why it works well for The War Doctor Begins.
The colour palette lets down The Tenth Doctor / Classic Companions for me; it doesn’t compliment any of the characters and the background and Axons blend together so don’t stand out.

Just out of curiosity, now that it's been established on TV that Tegan and Ace didn't meet that Doctor again for decades, are Big Finish allowed to make new stories in which they do and would they have to keep pulling out the old memory wipe if they did?

Like in another thread Chibnall decanonised The Gathering, Dark Universe and the Sophie Aldred novel I think perhaps big finish should be considered it’s own timeline/ universe and should do any story they want (with approval from the bbc) because I think neither the tv show or big finish care anymore about continuity |

I wonder who commissions the cover artwork.
Is it the producer of the release or the marketing department or someone else?
Just to demonstrate the power of the cover…
I wasn’t sure whether to buy the Further Adventuress. The packaging and the format of the stories wasn’t in keeping with that era. Then I saw the cover and was seduced into buying.
I have purchased all the David Tennant Doctor releases up to this one, but having all the past companions in the same set, just felt gimmicky and didn’t inspire. If it had just been K9 & Ten I would probably have ordered it, but as it was I was waiting for more details and that all important cover.

It’s not one of their best trailers. Just a load of choppily edited soundbites that suddenly ends with a pause before that bloody ident. Ten & K9 did make me smile, though, they’re such a joyous pairing.

Love how excited 10 is to meet Leela. That's also how I react every time I hear Louise Jameson in a story.
Anyway, cover illustration looks neat, but what the heck is that 5ing in the upper right corner?

I dunno, I kinda like it. The only part that doesn't work for me is the title... rather than making a huge portion of the image a brown morass at the bottom, I think it'd look better if the characters were down lower w/ the title in the orange space above their heads.
