The story details have intrigued more than I was initially. Do wish we were getting more about the other incarnations of the Collective though, as the Eleven has done a lot of stories.

The Collective is an incredible villain for Big Finish and I am sure they don’t want to over use the character, but I agree we could do with some of the other entities. I am not sure if Julia McKenzie is able to record, but I would love to hear the Twelve and River Song together. And I had hoped that we might have gotten Blake Ritson playing the Ten in the Tenth Doctor Dalek Universe set, but that doesn’t seem likely anymore, However we do have the Nine meeting the Fourth Doctor next year, so at least we can look forward to a bit of variety.

Yeah, but at the same time, the more actors they cast, the "muddier" the character's identity becomes. Casting might be an issue, too, as they'd need someone with both the range to do all the preceding voices, while still being distinct and immediately recognizable as the present incarnation. I suspect the reason they went with the "kindly grandmother" thing for The Twelve was precisely because that kind of character is essentially the polar opposite of The Eleven. Which raises the question: who might it be fun to see cast as other incarnations of The Collective? The first name that leaps to my mind is Lisa Bowerman, as she has incredible range, and it'd be very interesting to see (erm, hear) her play a villain for a change. Especially someone more suave and indirect to contrast w/ Benny.

A lot of it is merely hypothetical what ifs? but there are a few interesting choices. notthebigfinishforum.freeforums.net/thread/6852/who-cast-unseen-incarnations-collective

Just read the Vortex article for this set. Interesting how it mentions the Doctor is absent from the second episode. I feel a bit fatigued by the character overall, but I think an episode where the Eleven is just allowed to play havoc without the Doctor interfering is appealing and a great platform. Much like how the various Master spin-offs shine.

Couldn't be impressed enough by the trailer, its nostalgic 80s graphics and the gentle music! 🤩👏
