From the comments:
Also in the podcast, Nick said Benji’s gonna be working on a 3DA soon
Something interesting about this podcast (which I’ve just listened to) is that the epic backlog of Fourth Doctor Adventures were, according to Nick, recorded at Tom Baker’s request—he wanted to do as many as possible before it’s impossible.
I can’t find it right now, but I read somewhere that Louise Jameson said that she has at least a dozen recorded stories with Tom that don’t have release dates yet. It wouldn’t surprise me if there is 30+ in the backlog, or there is a load that have his part recorded but not other characters. I’ve heard he likes to just bash through scripts one after another.
Saw on a Big Finish group I’m part of on Facebook someone posted May release dates for stuff from Twitter. Eighth Doctor: Echoes drops on Thursday (May 16), Missy: Bad Influence drops on May 21, and the new Ninth Doctor set drops on May 29.
This is equally eerie and sad to me. Imagine that there will come a day in the not so distant future where we will be listening to new Fourth Doctor Adventures knowing that the man himself has long since passed away. I’m dreading that day!
This is super helpful, it allowed me to schedule all those sets in advance so I don’t have to worry about scrambling to add them as soon as they drop.
Could we maybe have a thread for future release dates so I can keep up to date? (I don’t use Facebook and rarely use Twitter).
This is next month. Sadly, I can’t find exact dates without hitting FB etc
I’m not on Twitter and not on Facebook as often as I used to be. This is my primary social media spot now. So, if I happen to see something, I’ll pass it on, but can’t guarentee anything.
I’m going to create a new thread that I can maintain with future releases. I’m still on Twitter, and they usually give releases dates a week or so before. I’ll just have to pay more attention to them.
I’m on Twitter occasionally and I listen to the Big Finish podcast as well, so I’ll try to keep track of the release dates so I can pass them along before the releases drop
