Audio maestros Big Finish have had their Doctor Who license renewed for another year, giving them the rights to produce more classic Who audioplays up until 2012. There is, of course, no point in them asking for an extension beyond that point because as we all know the world is going on end on December 21st, 2012. So that ought to save them some money.

Actually that was a joke.

Nick Briggs also mentions in the announcement that BF are still in talks with Tom Baker, which is promising.
