February 5th, 2015 - 11:16pmIt’s funny I was just thinking the other day, “I wonder if BF will ever do this story?”
Now I just hope that they do the Master’s trial that leads into the TV Movie.

February 5th, 2015 - 12:51pmGary Russell’s novel Spiral Scratch was the Sixth Doctor’s grand exit. How dare BF do this? Why not adapt that, or wait till they are able to? I shall be ignoring this release. Who wants more Valeyard anyway?

February 5th, 2015 - 3:58pmSpiral Scratch pretty much asserted that the books, audios and comics exist in different continuities within a whole multiverse of possibilities. Personally, I’ve never liked that idea, I like to think every media happened until it ‘unhappened’, so for me, Spiral Scratch is the 6th Doctor’s ending in a nearly identical universe to the actual one we all know, otherwise I can’t enjoy the virgin books alongside the bbc books etc. 🙂
(And hey, I love the Valeyard 😉 )

February 5th, 2015 - 3:59pmspiral scratch was good don’t get me wrong but I do feel this is a good idea and perhaps in the future they will make adaptations of spiral scratch
The TARDIS
February 5th, 2015 - 4:35pmSurely the whole plot of Spiral Scratch explains how the two can exist side by side? If you choose to believe Spiral Scratch is the Sixth Doctor’s farewell… This is simply another one!

February 5th, 2015 - 4:40pmSpiral scratch was good don’t get me wrong but I think BF are going in the right direction

February 16th, 2015 - 12:46pmWho’s to say this release might lead into spiral scratch or BF might come up with a way in which which both stories are cannon

February 5th, 2015 - 9:39amI wonder why Big Finish are ending the 6th Doctor stories…unless Colin Baler has decided to call it a day…?
booboo
February 5th, 2015 - 9:41amno its not that, this leads up to his regeneration, the story he never got on screen.
Anonymous
February 5th, 2015 - 10:29amOh…so they “could” still make more stories that happened earlier in his timeline. I thought there was a BBC book that already bridged the gap between Trial of a Time Lord and Time and the Rani…weird that the BBC approved this story.
booboo
February 5th, 2015 - 10:29amyes that’s it

February 5th, 2015 - 10:35amTo be honest, I put BF Audio ahead of the books…BF seem to have some control and more or less keep in line with the TV show….however, because the books were published by so many different companies over the years (Target, Virgin, BBC), it all got a little messing in terms of continuity…although, that said…there were some damn fine stories amongst them.
The Bus Conductor
February 5th, 2015 - 12:52pmThey’re just giving him the exit story he never got, but Gary Russell already did that most satisfyingly in book form. Doesn’t mean he isn’t recording more missing adventures.

December 17th, 2015 - 12:01amI like the idea, but another explanation was in the book. When stuff like this happens, somebody is gonna take a hint from Disney and erase 95% of continuity.
Daleks 4 Ever
February 5th, 2015 - 7:38amWell, spiral scratch is no longer cannon.

Hopefully the dearly missed Evelyn shall get a namecheck, maybe even a ‘vision’ like the Tom Baker > Davison and Davison > Colin Baker regenerations.

December 17th, 2015 - 12:02amThat would be cool. Maybe this time the Valeyard will pop up saying “DIE, DOCTOR, DIE!!”
LOL

February 4th, 2015 - 7:51pmThank you Big Finish for this, just wow! Colin is the ultimate Doctor when it comes to the audios and this should be a absolute classic…do wonder if it’ll link in to Time and the Rani though……
Anonymous
December 17th, 2015 - 12:05amIt would be cool if it was revealed that the Rani was in league with the Valeyard. Then the Rani stabs Valeyard in the back (literally or figuratively ) and blast the Doctor out of the sky, leading into McCoy’s first episode.
