Woo! It's the future!

-New companion for one of the Doctors.

Will she have an emotional hang-up or be about to destroy the Universe because her timestream is screwed? Here's hoping for Kyal Marsh or Linda Robson.

-Doing "something rather strange" with one Doctor/ companion team

They have sex on audio. That would be strange.

-Something rather nice for Christmas 2008

A free cake for every subscriber. That would be rather nice.

-A Dalek, Cyberman and Ice Warrior story next year

We haven't had that before!

- New McGann series will be on BBC7 featuring two returning alien races and a returning villain.

Hurrah! BBC7 wants them again! Here's hoping the returning villain is Geoffrey Beevers Master and not that bloke from "Medicinal Purposes" or something.

Oh yes I forgot to mention, Robert Ross will be completeing the Robert Ross Trilogy of Dross next year. *yawn*

[Si Hunt]

Really? Why do they keep using him? I bet Episode 1's cliffhanger will involve someone we've never heard of having just died.

-A Dalek, Cyberman and Ice Warrior story next year

Is that all three in one story?

[Pip Madeley]

When is BF's licence good till?

[SiHart]

End of 2009 at the moment.

That'll get re-newed. There's no reason it shouldn't. Big Finish fill a gap in the market that needs to be filled. I like things to be filled.

[Pip Madeley]

Maybe Planet Skaro Audios can steal the licence away from them. We could have a whipround.

[Dirk Gently]

At least the quality of stories would go up.

[Si Hunt]

Nice of you to say so Tim!

Si.

[Pip Madeley]

Well you do a damn fine job being Nick Briggs, Si!

[Si Hunt]

I'm barely in them in truth - the thing that makes a good audio is convincing, strong performances. As you'll hear from our wonderful cast when you all (I hope!) download Episode 1 on Saturday.

Si.

[Pip Madeley]

I don't appear in episode one, so it's bound to be crap.

[SiHart]

Quiet you.

And I thought you were in the pre-credits teaser of pt 1 of MHT?

[Pip Madeley]

And I thought you were in the pre-credits teaser of pt 1 of MHT?

Possibly! It (possibly) feels like ages since we recorded it, I've (possibly) only heard a few clips anyway whilst (possibly) producing the documentary (possibly produced by Pip Productions) that will be released (possibly) on October 13th.

[Si Hunt]

No, Pip's actually not in Episode 1 as the pirates featured in the scene you're thinking of are played by Wayne and Martin Penny. So you'll have to wait a few more weeks to hear his fruity tones in the story.

[SiHart]

That be a mighty pity, that be. Yahhrrrr!

My tones are always fruity for you, Si.

Maybe Planet Skaro Audios can steal the licence away from them. We could have a whipround.

Can The Lads be in charge of the whip?

[Si Hunt]

I'm at home now, and I'm making another 'extra' for disc 1. I really am being Nick Briggs too! It's outrageous!

Si.

[Dirk Gently]

Really? Does this mean you'll have recorded your journey from your transport to the recording studio?

[Si Hunt]

No, I'll save that for a future release!

Si.

[Dirk Gently]

Goodie!

[Stuart Wallis]

And does this mean that Mr. Hunt is going to be doing RTD's Dalek voices from now on?
