I can get behind this. Enjoyed the first set and love the sound of how they’re incorporating the Time War in these two new ones. Hoping for something meaty in the interaction between Susan and the War Doctor; it should really highlight the differences in them both, past and present. Third set looks to bring back the Voord.
Noticed we’ve gone from splitting a box set into single releases to splitting a box set into box sets! Fortunately a much cheaper alternative to the individual releases and only £2 more than, say, River Song.

Very good! I enjoyed Vol 1 and will definitely be getting these.
And it's only a day or two ago that someone on DU (not me) was saying 'how about some more Susan's War stories'. It's as if BF heard and responded!
(Of course to have them ready in just two days they'd have to be able to go back a few months in Time to get all the work done. Seems reasonable then.)

So this means she's not in the tv show?

Now William Russell has sadly gone, Carole Ann is the only original cast member left. I've been wishing for a long time that Big Finish used her more, so I'm delighted about this news.

Looking forward to it, but I wonder how they'll square off Alex's appearance in this with the ongoing Eighth Doctor Time War sets, which are currently set in the (presumably) negated Cass timeline?

Wasn't there a press release recently where BF mentioned a classic series monster returning for the first time in 8 or so years? |

Interesting that there is absolutely no mention of Alex in the article since he's on the cover. I wonder how that will go.
I really enjoyed the first box set when it came out in 2020 and I thought only a few days ago that I'd revisit it after the passing of William Russell... I'm glad we're getting the second box set so soon.
Also glad that the War Doctor is back, I can't wait to hear how Susan will react to this incarnation.
Though I guess this also means we're not getting Susan in the TV series at all.

Could be a misdirect, but I suspect she isn't.

I doubt BF would do that. |

Looksmike we’re finally getting a follow up to where Susan was left after To The Death, I’m very much looking forward to this.

Very excited to see more Susan's War! Considerably less excited to see it's a crossover with the WDB range. So this means she's not in the tv show? I don't really think the one affects the other. Though if Susan does show up in the TV show, I suspect it would be a different actress playing her, rather than Carol Ann Ford. The TV show can afford to have Time Lords regenerate, as many times as they like, Big Finish cannot. I also wouldn't expect her to show up in the TV show this year, no matter what. There are already too many balls up in the air right now, going into the finale, Susan just... wouldn't fit. Maybe in season 2 or season 3? My gut sense is that all the foreshadowing re: Susan is set-up for the 15th Doctor's final arc/story. Or maybe it's just that if I were in RTD's shoes, that's how I'd do it. It'd be a great way to wrap in the themes of the Doctor-as-an-orphan with this notion that he just sort of... abandoned his own child (in a manner of speaking). And Big Finish has done a lot with Susan over the years. I think we can pretty much take it for granted that anything they've done or will do... can and will be retconned by the TV show should they ever bring Susan back. Thankfully it's all really easy to handwave discontinuity aside in this case as just more Time War shenanigans. |

Just realised the first story of the third set is "The Last of the Kaleds". I wonder if this will come back to the story of the alternative War Davros? I'm still hoping against hope he manages to get his happily ever after with Charn.

Looking at the background info available on the website, I see that Vol. 3 "Grandfather Time" overlapped recording with next year's 1DA. Feels like a safe bet that Noonan's in "Grandfather Time" (I mean, that title!) and/or Carol Ann Ford is in next year's 1DA. Fingers crossed!
