The BBC has
extended Big Finish's license to produce Doctor Who & Torchwood content through June 20, 2025. Interestingly, they just received an
extension through 2020 a year ago. Jan Peterson, BBC Worldwide Head of Audio Publishing commented,
We very much look forward to continuing to work with Big Finish over the coming years. The high standards of their productions — quality scripts, impeccable
sound design and music, and impressive casting that utilises some of the
country’s biggest stars — are a reflection of the care and thought that
goes into every audio.
Big Finish executive producer Jason Haigh-Ellery said,
It is very rare that a production company is given the luxury of being able to plan so far ahead. Thanks to the faith placed in Big Finish by the BBC we can look forward
to many years of story progression and real character development for
the Doctors and their companions. We are excited about what the future
holds and look forward to the next decade of adventures travelling in
time and space.
Nicholas Briggs commented,
Doctor Who is my favourite thing. It’s been with me all my life in one form or another. So it’s truly
delightful for me that the good old BBC has given us permission to carry
on space-time travelling.
Line producer David Richardson said,
It’s such an honour for us to tell new stories in the worlds of Doctor Who and Torchwood. The possibilities truly are endless, the potential for ideas is
infinite. It’s a wonderful feeling when we have been doing this for
seventeen years, yet feel like we’ve only just begun and that the best
is yet to come.
