News: www.bigfinish.com/news/v/a-diamond-doctor-whoaudio-specialRelease: www.bigfinish.com/ranges/v/doctor-who-once-and-futureThe Time War. The Doctor has been injured and brought to a Time Lord field hospital. His body glows with energy, but this is no regeneration into a future form - instead, the Doctor’s past faces begin to appear as he flits haphazardly between incarnations...
Staggering to his TARDIS, the Doctor sets out to solve the mystery of his ‘degeneration’. Who has done this to him? How? And why? From the Earth to the stars, across an array of familiar times and places, he follows clues to retrace his steps, encountering old friends and enemies along the way. Tumbling through his lives, the Doctor must stop his degeneration before he loses himself completely...Doctor Who – Once and Future stars Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann, Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant, with dozens more guest cast still to be revealed. Comprises of 8 releases, all available individually or as a bundle. Part 1 - Past Lives Part 2 - The Artist at the End of Time Part 3 - A Genius for War Part 4 - Two's Company Part 5 - The Martian Invasion of Planetoid 50 Part 6 - Time Lord Immemorial Part 7 - The Union Part 8 - Coda: The Final Act |

Degeneration is all the rage this anniversary it seems then! Makes a change from the 50th where it was just a series of multi-Doctor shenanigans everywhere (except DWM, bless them). And Eccleston is confirmed!!
Oh goddamnit I’m gonna have to put this in the Time War order aren’t I.

Well I don’t think it can be preordered yet (it’s giving an Error page) but we may as well start speculating who else is in it. My money’s on at least David Warner and Lisa Bowerman having recorded something as the Doctor and Benny.

It’s weird. It’s sort of what I was expecting but I really don’t know how I feel about this to be honest.

Shunting through incarnations and degeneration is such a fascinating concept that has never really been touched upon until now. Dimensions in Time was probably the media that dealt with it best before now...! I did smirk when I finished reading the article and thought about your Time War timeline! |

The Coda is what has me intrigued the most. Parts 1-7 are out between May & October 2023, but 8 isn't out until November 2024!

Odd that there isn't a release in November '23 too -- we know that this was recording long before Eccleston joined BF, and Tennant's contribution was likely recorded before it was known he'd be in the 60th on TV, which might explain some things... |

I think Warner has at least, because i swear Eccleston said somewhere about him sharing a scene with Warner |

You're right, Time Lord Immemorial & The Union are both out in October. I love the idea, but the lead time does give a whiff of making it up as they go along, which doesn't necessarily make for the best listen. It's a bit like how the multi-Doctor interaction in The Legacy of Time falls flat because they're all recorded separately and added in as and when available. Will certainly be interesting to read more details as they come. |

Hmmm...now why is the coda over a year after part 7? Unless (cue massive speculation on my part..) the clue is in the title? Once and 'Future'? 🤔
Well, whatever the reason I'm going to wait for a bit more information before commiting myself to buying. I'll be watching the feeds carefully until then...and no doubt still speculating like mad..😉

I'm in the States and 99% of my purchases are download, but with extra art in the limited editions, I *may* need to splurge for the CDs...

Do we know any of the writers yet?
Some I'd be pleased to see announced would be John Dorney, James Goss, Timothy X Attack, Tim Foley, Rob Shearman (long shot I know), Lou Morgan (written some great War Master stories), Roy Gill, Guy Adams, Rob Valentine and Jonathan Morris.

BF Tweet Bring it on! Regards mark687 I have to be honest: I think this sounds absolutely, unashamedly brilliant. The very impressive trailer does nothing to dampen my enthusiasm. I mean - what a line-up, really.
As for writers ...
{Spoiler}
I can't imagine Nick Briggs won't be involved somewhere along the line. |
