Russell Tovey has spoken a bit about the spin off show he's going to be in: https://thedoctorwhocompanion.com/2...s-a-sea-devil-in-the-new-doctor-who-spin-off/
Some fans are determined to believe he's
playing The Master in disguise, but I'm not sure. The last time we saw The Master, he practically destroyed UNIT in a single story. A new incarnation infiltrating UNIT doesn't seem likely.

I only started getting into the Big Finish audios last year, and they have a MASSIVE library, so there's still a lot for me to go through.
I'm currently going through the Monthly Range (which is still 275 releases!) and have listened to about 60 of them.
My favourites so far are:
* The Fearmonger
* The Marian Conspiracy
* The Holy Terror
* The Chimes of Midnight
* Spare Parts
* Jubliee
* The Kingmaker
* Red
I think most of the ones I listened to are pretty good and there's some very imaginative stories. Some are more middling and average than others, but I can still tolerate them (except Nekromanteia, that one is just pure dumpster fire).

I'll pre-order. I have the new Jodie and Mandip pre-ordered too. Lots of new adventures to enjoy, especially with Season 2 on the way.

Oh wow, that's a nice surprise. I hope Billie's accent is better than when she came back in Series 4.
Her new teeth got the blame!
Bring back the Daleks, Russell!

Yes! A crumb of a classic monster would be great
I’m a bit excited for this but I’m still not over how diabolically they handled the Ruby reveal at the end of last series, so I don’t have much faith. Especially for the Mrs Flood stuff which is actually intriguing.
I always found Russell's finales to be overblown and kitchen sink heavy. Only Parting Of The Ways is totally satisfying for me, so the stuff about Ruby didn't bother me that much. I'm looking forward to having a companion who isn't a teenager in awe of The Doctor. Belinda has potential icon vibes already. We just need to get past the light frothy opener and into good stuff.
Every day that goes by I realise just how diabolical Space Babies was as an opener
I enjoyed it, but to kick start a new era, it probably wasn't a great idea. Fans really seem to dislike The Devil's Chord as well, which is also unfortunate considering they both premiered on the same night.
He/him
The first time I saw The Devils Chord I was a bit "meh" (and may have had a few beers).
On a second watch I enjoyed it a lot more. Space babies however is absolute trash.
A blitz of news!
The episodes will drop at 8am instead of midnight.
Alan Cumming is back to play a cartoon who suddenly gains sentience after being stuck in reruns for years.
Freddie Fox is a guest star. So is Christopher Chung.
