    Here are the answers to a bunch of questions no one has ever cared about.

    These projects depend on the spending power and willingness to buy anything with that character’s name on it, plus the backward-looking nostalgia engendered by the show’s post-Capaldi degeneration. I completely understand that. But some of the ideas explored by the Big Finish stories fire my enthusiasm a LOT more than reading about this book.

    Im worried about these, cant they just let the characters rest between adventures: they dont need to on any adevnture , just strains credibility. . I thought Big Finish did these gaps to death anyway? Overegging the canon.

      Agreed. I never liked how Big Finish completely saturates characters by squeezing in extra stories where they often clearly don’t belong. And this seems even worse.

    This confirms that the short story collections are not for me now. I’m sure others will enjoy it but it’s time to stick with just the individual books I actually want instead of feeling I need to have everything!

    This sounds a little bit like the Target Storybook. It’s an interesting idea but one would ask why anyone would “want” to know these things

    Hmmm find out how Turlough and Tegan made lunch during the Five Doctors? What the surgeon did when the 3rd Doctor nicked his car in Spearhead? Interesting idea but quite niche.
