Well that rather blows the notion that the Coda was delayed due to Tennant being involved out of the water. Surprised the BBC are letting him front and centre a piece of Big Finish’s 60th whilst also doing the same on TV.
Like A Genius for War was “Seven in Time War era” this is sounds like a “Ten in Twelfth Doctor era” story, which I’ll take compared to the random mishmash of first two entries in this series. I’m not sure it’s as inherently interesting an idea, but I’ll take it.

I almost feel like it would have been more interesting had it remained The First Doctor meeting the Paternoster Gang.
Would still be unapologetic fan service of course, but the First Doctor would really fit the Victorian setting.

Curiously optimistic about this one. As mentioned it seems more like the Tenth Doctor in a Twelfth Doctor scenario, yet also doesn’t seem too out of place as to be forced. The interaction between Tennant & Gomez in the news article sounds great, looking forward to that as I think a lot of these meetings have been wasted in Once & Future so far.
Also seems that the degeneration comes into play a bit more and that the First Doctor has a relatively substantial role.
I’d like it to be established that the Paternoster Gang have a history with the Doctor prior to Eleven. It always seems like the case, but has never been cemented as such.

Well that throws all kinds of spanners into the works!
What a gorgeous line up of characters.
And once again the standard edition cover makes the special edition look less special.

I'm just surprised it's taken so long for Big Finish to have The Doctor and The Master encounter one another out of order. For most incarnations of The Master, there's no problem with The Doctor encountering a "future" Master.

I thought this regular edition cover also did an excellent job of integrating the diamond into the central design without hitting you over the head with it. Very nice work.

I admit that (a) I’m quite looking forward to this and (b) I’m confused. Had assumed that since the degeneration happens during the Time War (it does, doesn’t it?), the initial Doctor was the War Doctor. Or maybe the Eighth Doctor. But … oh well, this will be quite the ride.

Hmmm...either Big Finish are playing hard and loose with what our expectations of the Doctor's 'degenerations' actually mean.....or we were all wrong in our assumptions that the Doctor who was initially taken into the Time Lord field hospital was either the Eighth or the War Doctor. David Tennant's inclusion opens up some rather interesting possibilities...🤔
Still watching from the sidelines, but Once and Future may have just piqued my curiosity..

How cool would it be if the big reveal of which Doctor is degenerating was 11, 12 or 13?
With Doctors 4, 5, 7, 6 and 10 used up in 5 episodes, is it safe to assume the next two episodes will be x 1 with 8 and x 1 with 9?
I remember seeing Liv Chenka listed on a list of guest actors last year, no guarantee she'll be appearing with 8 this time though?
Does anyone have a link to the guest actor post from last year? I'd be interested to see who else could turn up in episodes 6 and 7?

The synopsis says "the Doctor is propelled into a future incarnation" - which I took to mean he becomes an incarnation chronologically later than the one he was at the start. Which would fit with it being Eight or War we started with.

That's interesting to read again, in my mind the list was longer. So according to that list we have the guest Doctors 1, 2 and 3, the unbound Doctor and Liv Chenka still to come. The guest Doctors continuing with their cameos, the unbound Doctor appearing with 9. It would be interesting to have Liv Chenka meeting Time War era 8. I hope we have some fun surprises in terms of unexpected appearances. I was a little disappointed with Past Lives (mostly my expectations of what the first story would be) but I've enjoyed the last two episodes and the anniversary spirit of these releases. I'm definitely looking forward to future reveals.

Perhaps the degenerating Doctor crossing their timeline to meet a past incarnation.

Not a big fan cuz I hate Tenth Doctor but with the best girl Missy... Who knows By the way crazy theory: maybe in the end of the series the weapon that caused degeneration will be stolen and there will be some sort of connection between Thirteenth Doctor not regenerating into brand new incarnation but "old" one (I know he has a new number, I know ) in the show?
