Further Details Released about Tom Baker's Doctor Who Big Finish Audio Adventures

Big Finish is finally at liberty to reveal further information about Tom Baker's upcoming Big Finish audios. In 2012 The Lost Stories series turns to Baker and "The Fourth Doctor Box Set", a five-disc package featuring two stories once intended for the Classic Series.

Audio production company Big Finish has introduced details about one of those two stories.
The six-part The Foe From the Future by Robert Banks Stewart has been adapted for audio by John Dorney, and will be recorded as a full cast drama with Tom Baker as the Doctor and Louise Jameson as Leela. The serial was planned for TV broadcast in 1977, and development was well underway when Stewart was offered a job with ITV. Regretfully he was forced to abandon work on the story, which was ultimately replaced by The Talons of Weng-Chiang.
"The Foe from the Future was one of those Doctor Who storylines that somehow got away," says Robert Banks Stewart. "It's great news that Big Finish are going to recapture the yarn with an audio production."
The audio attempts to embrace an authentic tone of 1977 Earth, "where ghostly figures are appearing . . ."
