Big Finish’s Short Trips Range Gets Two More Years

Katie Gribble is a writer at Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews - All the latest Doctor Who news and reviews with our weekly podKast, features and interviews, and a long-running forum.

Cheers, jubilations and street parades coincided with the confirmation of two more years of downloadable Doctor Who – Monthly Short Trips readings available from January 2016. For those of us who require a regular fix of Doctor Who action, this announcement came as welcome news amidst the flood of exciting Big Finish news to come thus far.

In the producer’s chair for the next run is Ian Atkins stating:

‘I’m delighted to be taking over from Michael Stevens on this intelligent, often thought-provoking range…It’s an honour to get that vote of confidence from David Richardson, Nicholas Briggs and Jason Haigh-Ellery and quite daunting to now have so many stories and times and places to think about in one go!’

Ian has plenty of experience with Big Finish Doctor Who writing the Fifth Doctor Short Trip Doctor Who: The King of the Dead, and producing the Doctor Who Main Range Subscriber Short Trips since 2014.

He has already sat down with director Lisa Bowerman and have a very long wishlist which they wish to pursue over the course of the next two years.

He says: ‘It’s too early to be sure or make any firm announcements, but I’m certainly planning a couple of proper Christmas stories and to explore some periods and characters in Doctor Who which may have been forgotten about – and not just with companions either…’

Oh the suspense is killing me. Doesn’t that just tickle your curiosity?

Big Finish’s other series span a wide range of award-winning, full-cast original audio dramas from the worlds of Blake’s 7, Dark Shadows, The Avengers, Survivors, The Omega Factor, Sherlock Holmes, Dorian Gray, Pathfinder Legends, 2000 AD and new for 2015, The Prisoner and Terrahawks,
