Our Guest Gary Russell - This is what got Big Finish the Doctor Who License - Oh Yes It Did!

Has it really taken us this long to review the first two releases from Big Finish? Oh yes it has! Would Big Finish have acquired the Doctor Who license from the BBC without these recordings? Oh no they wouldn't! Oh No It Isn't by Paul Cornell and adapted by Jacqueline Raynor, and Beyond the Sun, written and adapted by Matt Jones, were released way back in 1998... and the rest is history! Gary Russell joins us to talk about those very early days and specifically, the production of these original Big Finish classics.
