If they do The Three Doctors revisited as the recast Doctors contribution to the 60th, and we get a surprise Doctor debut for the anniversary then they could have the Doctors that add up to exactly 60
I.e 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 = 60

More Locum Doctor stories would be nice.

More Locum Doctor stories would be nice. I always felt Big Finish missed a trick by not doing a Locum as the subscriber bonus the year those came out, They should have put either 1 With Teagan/Nyssa, two with Peri or 3 with Ace. it would have been nice to see what the transposed Doctor's got up to outside their timeline. Alas, what could have been.

I am hoping that once the BBC’s centenary special has aired, and to distract everyone from their price rise, Big Finish will release some information about the Sixtieth Anniversary special.
Christopher Eccleston has said that he recorded with David Warner for the sixtieth, so assuming that means two Doctors will appear together I started wondering what other matchups we might have in store.
Also assuming it will be a six disc story, like the Big Finish 20th Anniversary - The Legacy of Time, how about, in no particular order…
9th Doctor and the Unbound Doctor As per above it is the reason for my post.
The Big Finish recast Doctor’s One, Two & Three. Another Three Doctors adventure has been spoken about before.
4th Doctor and 5th Doctor. Since Tom opted not to do the Five Doctors, I have been waiting for these two to meet and work together.
7th Doctor and 10th Doctor. Sylvester missed out on teaming with David Tennant in the Out of Time range. This might be the perfect time to rectify that omission.
8th Doctor and the War Doctor. My first thought was I would like to hear 8 and 7 together, but perhaps that might happen during the Seventh’s run up to his Final Adventure. This would be interesting to hear the contrast between the Doctor who couldn’t fight in the Time War and the Doctor who did.
6th Doctor and Doctor number….? Could we get another New series Doctor added to the special? Yes of course, it will be… David Bradley’s First Doctor! Who would make a delightful pairing with Colin and provide a nice beginning and ending of the special with the Doctor who started it all.
What other matchups would others like to hear?

I wouldn't assume Warner was playing the Doctor when he recorded with Eccleston. And we know they were recording for this as early as 2019, so definitely Eccleston and probably Tennant (assuming he's in it) would have to have been added to the mix well after planning was underway - it seems likely to me they have extended cameos.

I have been curious about Eccleston and Warner in this ever since Eccleston spilled the beans at the convention. I am still very sad about Warner's passing, so this will be a very special treat.
As for teamings.... Why not team Sixie with 4? Might be interesting. Or even better, Sixie squaring off with Three. THAT would be a sight to behold. Not sure he should meet One, mainly because One would have a heart attack upon seeing Sixie.
And actually, would like to have Eight and Seven try to work together. That could make for some nice sparring. I do not think they will pair Eight with War, since that might go too dark.

Or this will be a REALLY big thing and they go all out. Everything they have not dared before, now in a true explosive epic. Could go both ways. They have to do something different from what they did last time, so again having the NuWho Doctors as cameos.... really not sure about it.

Didn't Eccleston say he won't do multi-Doctor stories? If I've remembered that correctly, that would seem to rule out Warner having played the Unbound Doctor.

I could see him maybe reprising his role of Cuthbert one last time though. Unless of course, Steel is going to make an unexpected appearance...

Tbf Eccleston says a lot of things and then changes his mind later

Well, at the convention Eccleston was absolutely smitten with Warner. I can imagine he might make an exception there. He is also VERY happy with Big Finish.
Also, yes, he repeated at the same panel that he will NOT come back to TV and he would especially never ever do a TV multi-Doctor story.
So I actually hope that this means he softened up to an audio multi Doctor story.

I don't think Warner is playing the Doctor here unfortunately - DWM's review of Blood and Steel seems pretty assured that it's Warner's last performance as the Doctor. I guess we'll probably get confirmation in the news piece on BF's website when the boxset is released, but I wouldn't get hopes too high.

David Warner might have been a compromise candidate between Eccleston doing or not doing a multi-Doctor story, but I reckon that if he was playing the Doctor in the 60th they would have said so when he died (I suppose maybe not if his appearance is a surprise).
As for potential team-ups, I think 9/Valeyard has definite promise, and also putting together 3 and 9 with their respective class-based chips on their shoulders (posh 3 likes to pretend he isn't, 9 likes to make out he's one of the common herd, so I'd send them both to a country house and have 9 above stairs posing as a northern industrialist with 3 downstairs in the guise of his valet)

I'm of the opinion that a story with Warner's Doctor might not "count" as a multi-Doctor in the same way a Nine-Ten story would, but it's totally possible he's playing a different character, either brand new or recurring (and he has no shortage of roles that he might reprise - my choice would be Luke Betterman from Jago and Litefoot).

As fun as multi Doctor continuity fests can be, I'd much rather have an epic story that keeps me on the edge of my seat. There have been many milestone celebrations with Doctor Who over the years, for the 60th I'd like to have something we've not had before.

I think we've basically gotta have Eccleston involved, right? Hopefully as, you know, the main character. At this point he's the only Doctor who's never done any multi-Doctor stories. That's gotta change, and there's no better time than the 60th.

I liked his take on an insane Isaac Newton.

I hope that he's designed it in such a manner that he could slot in new Doctors etc as they became available over the years (but, y'know, more like the Kate/Brig bit from 'Legacy' rather than the cringeworthy 10/1/2 sequence), but I'd be surprised if Eccleston was the lead. I suppose maybe they could write him a framing sequence?

I'm pretty sure that, with all his alchemical work, Newton was literally as mad as a hatter.

I suppose maybe they could write him a framing sequence? I suppose it depends on how it’s been crafted. Masterful seemed pretty clearly built to scale depending on how many actors they managed to secure, with little issue if any were unavailable. Legacy of Time is another example. You have the 10/1/2 interaction you mentioned, but equally you have the ability to add extra stories without any structural issue as people come on board. It could run the risk of making content feel superfluous or the interaction generic, but production wise it makes sense and it makes for a catching cover art.

They certainly keep a tight lid on this one. Apart from Eccleston spilling the beans, not much more information or rumours have emerged. Not even a release date yet as far as I can see (although I would suspect November 2023 for some reason ). Bursting inside from curiosity.

It should be called Briggs Finish: The Time Warner: Volume 1: Bowermania and every non-Doctor role be played by Nick and David and Lisa.
