Just wondering with Scott leaving, what's happening with the War Master range? The final episode of box set 8 features Dorian Grey, seems like a natural finishing point or could there be more as yet unreleased sets to come? Also will the range have a new lead producer , I hope so as Derek is fantastic. Best wishes to Scott, good luck with Bad Wolf and thanks for your excellent work on one of my favourites ranges.  |

I’d suspect for something as high profile as War Master, which has also had loads of contributors over the years now, someone else will take the reigns as producer. But if this is the end, it had a very good innings.

I suspect that this might be the end, as from many BTS interviews, it seems that if Scott leaves, Jacobi might simply because it seems like the range is an outlet for a very genuine friendship between the two, and Jacobi might not want to continue without Scott. Though maybe it becomes a once in a while like Dorian is.

I certainly hope this isn’t the end for the range but at the same time I can understand if Sir Derek didn’t want to continue without Scott.
However, I don’t think that necessarily means the end of his association with Big Finish. I could still see him popping up occasionally. In fact, I’d put money on him making an appearance in the 60th.

As to Thread Topic I'd hope for more War Master but could understand Sir Derek moving on. Regards mark687 |

www.bigfinish.com/news/v/scott-handcock-joins-bad-wolf Although Scott has now technically moved on to pastures new, long-term listeners will be aware that many Big Finish audio productions are recorded months or even years in advance of release. Let's just say you haven't heard the last of his work yet...

Regards mark687 Seems from a search to have been from a a CV listing from Timothy Blore, frequent collaborator on Handcock BF. Here is the link, and it seems it was recorded sometime this year, as opposed to Volume 7 and 8, which were in 2020 and 2021 throughout, so perhaps two more volumes next year(I imagine announcements would be in December alongside Vol 8's release |

If Sir Derek wishes to continue working with Big Finish then I hope they record as much as possible, like they do with Tom Baker, so we'll have years of his masterful performances to enjoy. |

While some of their business decisions can resort to major palming of the face, I'd wager Big Finish are smart enough to recognise the financial benefits of having Sir del linked to any of their audio recordings. I doubt we've heard the last of him for a while yet.

I think it has been mentioned that Derek has a particularly good working relationship with Scott though; I doubt it'll be such a red line that we'll never hear Derek at BF again, by all accounts he loves working with them.
Scott was also producing The Lone Centurion, working on the Dark Season sequel, and he's script editor on Torchwood Soho, so those might be vacant now.
