I looked it up and realized that all of these characters are currently dead in-continuity, so I'm guessing the Green Goblin is going to most likely be Harry over Norman to line up with that. It's probably going to be Mephisto resurrecting all of them.
Oh now thats a stacked team. Also begs some questions. Are some of these guys alive or dead or mind controlled.

Again I gotta point out that they are really going all out for these releases. I know this is basically just a remix of 8's old theme, but the fact they went through the effort to do so at all shows they are going all in on it which is nice.
NEW 8TH DOCTOR THEME TUNE JUST DROPPED @bigfinish #DoctorWho

Oh wow this hits hard. For some reason I really thought we'd be getting so many more stories with K9 for years to come. John's voice will carry on in our heads forever. RIP to possibly the most unique companion we've ever had.
Everyone at Big Finish is very sad to learn of the death of John Leeson earlier today. Our condolences go out to his family and friends. He will be sorely missed by us all. A full tribute will be published later this week.

So unhinged it is neither explained or really followed up on in the next episode. I genuinely will never understand people who can defend Flux's overarching story. Like certain parts of it are good, but the overall narrative is so bad.
DOCTOR WHO: FLUX (2021) really ended an episode with Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor turning into a WEEPING ANGEL, complete with the wings unfurling behind her. What an absolutely unhinged cliffhanger.

The Six & Fugitive is already the perfect one, but that's been said already so I'll go with the War Doctor & The Eight. The Doctor of War meets the only pacifist. Tho timeline wise idk how that'd work. The Four & the 7th Doctor could be interesting as well.
Which other incarnations of The Doctor and The Collective would you like to see take each other on in a boxset akin to these sets? #DoctorWho #BigFinish

Didn't they literally create the Red Band imprint for the exact reason he says they can't tell stories like Miracleman? Also that's not even the main appeal of Miracleman, you'd lose nothing by making it less graphic. He doesn't care for the OG series at all and it shows.
Hickman already did this with his Avengers and I guarantee Zdarsky won't live up to it lmao.

This gives me the excuse to say that they should just called him Marvelman & it would've gone over much better. He has the power of the original character w/ none of the connection to the Miracleman version, so call him the OG name! Moore only changed it so y'all wouldn't sue!
I've been calling this guy John Marvel I am so sorry.

I'm not gonna lie the more they release about this the more I'm interested in it. Like I can kinda understand how this is a celebration through exploring something new with the 8th Doctor. I just really hope they are willing/able to keep this team to a mini-series.

I'm glad Gwithian is willing to speak out publicly about this. It's good to have someone from the actually cast that understands where the consumers are coming from & is willing to bring it up directly like this. Makes total sense that you are a 12th Doctor companion my guy.

Anyone buying the 11th Doctor CD willing to sell me just the exclusive 11 & Eleanor timeline poster? Serious enquiry. Big Finish should think about selling merch like that by itself.

To compare her with her dad, Kate feels like if the Brigadier never went through the development he had in the 3rd Doctor's era & just kept occasionally showing up in the same manner & characterization he had in the 2nd Doctor's era. We need to see her develop as a character.
Kate Steward is a weird, inconsistent character. She’s there at the show’s peak, she’s there at the show’s low points and she’s always just… there. Never really given a focus or anything to do, she says exposition, a joke or two and stands around statically.

Still mad they didn't have the balls to put Colin in his original costume for both Power & the Tales from the TARDIS. They still have Davison walking around with celery & McCoy in the ? jumper, but I'll never see Colin in that rainbow coat again & that makes me quite sad.
God. I love these photos. There's something really heartwarming about seeing them wearing their outfits.

As hyped as I am for this, it does feel weird to me how much the lead up is focusing on Chase as the 'new' companion when we know nothing about Alfie as well. I know he's been 'travelling for a while', but he's brand new to us. Would like to get to know him some more!

I just don't get why it had to be a regeneration at all, he literally just could've ended it like classic did. No stupid plot of sacrifing The Doctor to make Belinda a single mom w/o her consent and instead just have him jump into the TARDIS onto the next adventure.
An example of said frank and honest remarks. Believe me, hearing it in Russell's own voice is even heftier. theguardian.com/media/2026/o…

I've been seeing takes like this a lot, so this isn't aimed at OP directly but did she really not have 'none of the defining aspects'? She literally calls herself the Doctor, has a police box TARDIS, & goes around helping where she can. Those seem like THE defining aspects to me.
This ain't aimed at Jo, she's brilliant but Fugitive just feels like a massive wasted opportunity. Shes introduced as not your usual Dr Who and has none of the defining aspects we know and could legit do anything. And their brightest idea is give her a sonic and fight the daleks

This is why I think she was a botched idea from the beginning. The Timeless Child is an idea that can work, but Fugitive messes it up from the get go by having basically identical traits to her future life as the Doctor with a bit more of a hard-edge. Just put her in Season 6B!

Oh wow some actually acknowledgement of post-Liv Helen adventures! I'm betting we see a set with Helen & Alfie in the next couple of years.

Surprised to see that this is coming out in November! I wonder if it was planned or recorded ahead of Circuit Breaker, but Big Finish had to hold off on it until the story was done. Either way quite excited to get back to Fugitive's good storyline.

Genuinely disheartening how open he is about how this decision had nothing to do with the story of Miracleman at all. At least Doomsday Clock had SOMETHING to say about the story of Watchmen, this is just like 'I needed to make my OC more powerful & no one was using the IP'.
