It's a surprising announcement. Doesn't particularly excite me reading the article, but I do like the idea, and I liked the concept of Tales of New Earth too. That set seemed to bomb, but based on the news article, I think this will have a few hooks to broaden the appeal - incarnations of the Doctor, River Song, War Master, etc. - that was missing with New Earth. I don't think either idea is better than the other on paper.

This has shot to the top of my most anticipated releases next year! The writing team are some of my favourites at Big Finish and I adore the Peladon stories! I also heard about this set back when I interviewed Tim Foley, but only a vague premise, not knowing it was a Peladon set.
As to who the familiar faces are, I'm going to guess the following.
Ordeal - The Third Doctor
Poison - Leela
Death - River
Truth - The Sixth Doctor
For no other reason than those are who I want to show up!

My feelings are pretty positive about this. As a concept, Peladon is one of the most rounded and convincing alien planets/cultures the classic series ever produced, and it surprises me that BF have only revisited twice (I think I'm right in saying). I'm hoping we get a really strong story, full of atmosphere, with crackling torches and howling storms. The headline 'Troughton returns to Peladon' had me wondering why the Second Doctor was visiting the place - before I got my head together. It would be a huge shame (for me) if Tim Treloar's Doctor didn't get to either be part of the set, or have some 3DA tie-in.
Let's face it, this is another twenty quid in Big Finish's coffers from me! |

Will there be a brexit (pexit?) story?

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if we might get a 10th Doctor Peladon story in this. Utilizing the specials year era would make for a potentially dark political drama.

It’d be nice to think there’s more unannounced lockdown recordings with David, wouldn’t it? And that Specials year has been Big Finish’s playground the past year. |

Never been the biggest 10 fan on TV, but the last couple of years at Big Finish have been and look to continue being quite brill! |

This made me laugh! " It was, if you will, an alien Game of Thrones many decades ahead of its time."

Some validity to that point you could call it Yes Minster in Space Regards mark687 |

I wonder if this is merely intended to be a one off or the potential start of a whole new series? Admittedly, compared to something such as Tales from New Earth I think a rich setting such as Peladon has a lot of story telling potential.
