      I cannot believe it's been a year since this thread was active. How are people getting on with BF? I've still been enjoying. My favourites have been the War Doctor boxsets which have been amazing!

        2016 was a pretty stellar year for them, but there's been a few terrific releases this year as well. Just in recent memory...their adaptation of The Invisible Man, and today's Torchwood release (with Burn Gorman) have been excellent.

          Actually, I just finished the second War Doctor set and found it to be a mixed bag. Legion Of The Lost is one of the creepiest Doctor Who stories I've ever heard, but for some reason, I couldn't get into The Neverwhen.

            I've been thoroughly enjoying Big Finish! Doom Coalition, The War Doctor, UNIT, The Diary of River Song, "The Master Trilogy"...all amazing! I absolutely loved The Two Masters though! The Master is so brutal! Just hear that TCE go!

              Ohhh yes! Wasn't that two Masters trilogy something? Especially the third/final release with both of them in it, wonderful stories!

                Definitely! Geoffrey Beevers and Alex Macqueen gave amazing performances both apart and alongside each other and also whilst working with Peter Davison, Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy! Very clever storytelling!

                  New Audio Torchwood Series from Big Finish
                  Sunday, 07 May, 2017 - Reported by Marcus


                  http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2017/05...-from-big.html


                  Big Finish
                  has announced that Torchwood will be back for a brand new series of audio adventures with Torchwood: Aliens Among Us...

                  The new series, revealed at the DWAS convention The Capitol II, will follow the events of Miracle Day, and will see the Torchwood team reunited. Captain Jack, Gwen and Rhys will be joined by new characters co-created and overseen by series creator Russell T Davies.

                  In this series, Captain Jack and Gwen Cooper have restarted Torchwood in Cardiff, home of the original Torchwood Three. But it's in a very different Cardiff. Something terrible's happened to the city. With every day getting darker, will Torchwood need to adopt a whole new approach?

                  Producer of Torchwood Season 5, James Goss, talked about the new Torchwood team and Russell T Davies’ involvement.
                  Russell's been wonderfully involved in the continuation of Torchwood. We came up with some characters and ideas and he very kindly, very politely said 'Marvellous, but no. Howabout...?'. And that's what lead to Jack and Gwen being joined by Mr Colchester (Paul Clayton), Ng (Alexandria Riley), Tyler (Jonny Green) and the enigmatic Orr (Sam Béart). Who are they? What part do they have to play in the future of Torchwood? And can they save Cardiff from an invasion that's already been lost?

                  This is an ambitious series for Big Finish - an entire season of Torchwood! There are some great scripts by some new writers, but there are also some familiar old faces - of course Rhys and Andy are in it, but there'll be a few other surprises, including an appearance by someone who just has to be, has to be dead...


                  This new series of Torchwood will be released in three boxsets, the first being out in August. Torchwood Series 5.2 will follow in October and 5.3 will complete the season in the new year.

                    It's nice that Russell is involved again, but this is them officially giving up on the show ever being on TV again...

                      It does kind of come across that way, doesn't it? Sad if it is indeed the end of the dream for further series of Torchwood on TV...

                        I find it a little odd that they're billing this (at least in the promotional text) as "Season 5," considering the Torchwood work that Big Finish has already done--including a number of post-Miracle Day stories. And weren't there a few BBC Audio stories that are post-MD as well?

                        I suppose this is just an easier way of marketing it to newcomers, but it just strikes me as odd.

                                Georgia Moffett to lead a series of Doctor Who audio adventures as the Doctor's daughter
                                Following on from the announcement that Jodie Whittaker is set to play the Thirteenth Doctor, another woman is set to lead the cast of a time and space drama...

                                Doctor Who star Georgia Moffett, who played the Doctor’s daughter Jenny in 2008 for the BBC1 sci-fi show, is set to return to the part for a series of audio adventures.

                                The actress – the daughter of Doctor Who star Peter Davison and wife of former Doctor David Tennant – is recording the stories this summer for production house Big Finish, with a release expected towards the end of the year.

                                It marks an interesting week for Doctor Who’s women after the sensational casting of Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor.

                                RadioTimes.com can also reveal that the Doctor’s daughter will have a male companion for her audio adventures: Sean Biggerstaff, the actor best know for playing Oliver Wood in the Harry Potter films, will star alongside her.

                                One of the new audio adventures is being written by Christian Brassington – the actor will be well known to Poldark fans for playing the loathsome Osborne Whitworth in the current series.

                                His episode is called Neon Reign and will be the first major production of his work, he told RadioTimes.com.
