And not experienced Christmas or plum pudding yet no C’rizz or DU it can only get better...It also gives Paul a wee chance to flesh out his younger fresher Doctor I must admit it does surprise me they decided to go ahead and do a boxset focusing on the Untold Adventures of Charley Pollard. Especially considering I’m sure I read somewhere that McGann was more interested in exploring the latter half of the Eighth Doctor’s existence then going back and exploring a younger Doctor. Still, any excuse to carry on working with India Fisher, eh? I must stress though that I am looking forward to this release.

Definitely wanna see Charlie meet some Ice Warriors. Wait, no, scratch that. I want Charlie to recruit an Ice Warrior companion onto the TARDIS.

Maybe a few more?) that he's probably satiated on that front. And presumably they'll keep on making them until.... It makes sense to me he'd be open to a throwback set at this point.

Well 8 already had an ice warrior companion called Sazzard Who ended up marrying Stacy another 8th Doctor companion in the book and comics Another thing is perhaps there isn’t much more they can really do with 8 So maybe McGann has agreed to do more earlier stuff

The context for McGann being interested in going forwards rather than looking back was that at the time the Divergent Universe arc had been cut short by the return of the series, and I think even people who like the post-DU Eight/Charley/C'rizz stories would admit there's not a great deal of direction to them, especially compared to the earlier Eighth Doctor MR stories. These days McGann has a dedicated range that constantly moves forward so he's probably happier to have the occasional look back.

Sword of Orion is one of the stories that got me into Big Finish. Sign me up for a sequel.

Wait….. genuinely optimistic eighth Doctor stories? I can’t wait! Yes well he does need a little cheering Up get the smile back on his face or is that me? Forget his face, let's use the opportunity to get a new haircut, somewhere in-between the long-and-short varieties.

Personally if we're going to have this back I'd have preferred stuff IN the DU and some attempt to course correct some of the blatant nonsense from that.

Well am like glad BF now has a history of its own and can revisit its own companions...and not undo the timelines....😂 As per my DU comment, I don't particularly want them to undo it, but...take Absolution for instance, that story should have been a 4 disc box rather then everything hammered into one story. Give it some space to breathe so we know what on earth is really going on. And it's not the only one. The DU also contains some amazing work IMO. The Natural History of Fear for my money is outstanding.

The Natural History of Fear for my money is outstanding. I just didn’t like Absolution and i am not sure making it even longer would have helped 😂 Yes History is good but when i go to play stuff i very rarely pick a DU story LOL, fair point. I'm not talking about making it "longer", just take the same amount of story we have and give it the space it needs to sort it out so there's some sense of progression, especially with C'rizz's transformation.

You know, it honestly wouldn’t have surprised me had they used the opportunity to have India Fisher record a boxset with Colin Baker as well.

It would still make a depressing story though lol you know maybe its due a relisten soon Still better than Minuet in Hell.

Imagine a 6 and 8 crossover, with Charley desperately trying to keep them apart, Well, they have done panto on audio before. Albeit for the Bernice Summerfield. Definitely would be up for a more comedic Multi Doctor story though.

Definitely looking forward to it. Great cover, too. Even in my favorite colour!
