Very excited for one of my favourite Doctors and companions to return, especially because at the time I was hoping series 13 would just be the two of them (as much as I love Dan now). Now I just hope it doesn't descend into the usual checklist of meeting every other person from the Whoniverse...

Most people who know me know that I'm not a fan of this era nor of Jodie in the role. (I think she's a fine actress, just miscast.) I'm looking forward to having BF prove me wrong. Let's hope we get some great stories! I find it interesting and pretty great how soon she is coming aboard the BF train after her time on TV. She's as busy an actor as any who have taken on the role and then left, but she had found the time to do some audio stories. I mean, it made sense for David Tennant, since he is such a fan and worked for them before, but Jodie doing this now is just lovely. Too bad we still haven't been able to have Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi(who may never do any BF. ![(zzz)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/asleep.png) )

YES!! I never would have expected to get them so soon, but wow I can't wait!! The Thirteenth Doctor is incredibly important to me and I just know Jodie's going to knock it out of the park again on audio! I'm actually more excited to see Yaz get a little more development here though! I felt like she was one of Jodie's better companions, but similarly to Nyssa with Five, she kind of got overshadowed by the other companions, specifically Graham and Dan. Finally getting to have adventures where she's the solo companion is exactly what I think she needs!

I wonder if there's any chance they can get Segun Akinola back to do the music? Well, we will at least have his awesome theme! IMO so much better than anything Murray Gold has done. Your mileage may vary but for me it is an amazing blend of the modern with the old creepy feel of the Derbyshire version.

Well, they needed *something* to stop all the silly Star Trek crossover speculation on Twitter, perhaps Jodie is the only former Doctor who had her phone on at two o'clock this morning?

The Akinola theme is especially great listening through earphones, so will be ace for the audios. When the theme builds up and then the bass drops? *chef’s kiss*

An announcement on a Saturday! Maybe hoping to keep the site from crashing too much? More like they wanted to announce on the THIRTEENTH.

I'm incredibly happy about this news. I always thought Jodie would be the next Doctor to join Big Finish, giving her willingness to do audios when asked about it, but I didn't think it would happen so soon after her TV run. I actually enjoy series 12 and Flux better than series 6 and 7 so count me in. I was never quite convinced by Yaz however, so I'm glad the actress is returning to get - I hope - some proper development thanks to Big Finish.
Now, give me scripts by Tim Foley and I'll be more than happy.
Really great news, it just made my day.

I'd love for Segun to come back, but somehow I can't see it happening. That might be too much to hope for.
Still buzzing about this news. To get Jodie is one thing, to get Mandip is another; to get them both is a dream come true. I still see Yaz's tears as she tells the Doctor "I don't want this to end", as they sit on top of the TARDIS eating ice cream, that little face crumpled in sadness. Although she had her family, Yaz might have been very alone after her adventures were it not for Chris Chibnall's ingenious idea of the 'old companion's club'. So much more to say - and thanks to BF, we're going to hear it!
As for Nick Briggs writing the debut. Let's see, he's there in early publicity photos; he isn't directing or producing, so its a possibility. The only (original) Doctors he hasn't written first stories for are the Tenth and the Eighth, so time will tell.

Not a fan of this era is a very very generous way of describing it

Hoping they will not be restricted to a certain number of copies like what happened with the classic Doctors. I'll probably be waiting until july next year to buy them in bundles of 4-5 CDs at a time due to them being expensive and for financial reasons.
But I don't think that's the case for the 9DAs so it will probably be alright.

From the Podcast's Announcement of the News
Recording has already started. Each gave an immediate Yes when asked. Jodie Orders Coffee for everyone at the Recordings, Nick Rates the Scripts as some of BFs best (sounds from the Interviews that Jodie and Mandip had a great time and are genuinely close friends)
Regards

Recording has already started. The Backstage info on the website for the first story notes it was recorded on 19th June 2024 at The Soundhouse. So 3.5 weeks ago. None of the other stories have recording dates noted online yet. This was an instant preorder for me, even a year away. I don't want to forget to order this one!

I know Eccleston isn't keen on the idea of multi doctor stories but I feel like if there's any Doctor he might agree to do it with it's Whittaker. They did a play together and they're both northerners!
