New Eighth Doctor Audio Range
Big Finish has announced that a new range of 8th Doctor adventures titled Doom Coalition will begin this fall. The 16-part series will star Paul McGann as the Doctor and Nicola Walker and Hattie Morahan as his companions Liv Chenka and Helen Sinclair. The first story will introduce the Eleven (played by Mark Bonnar), a deranged Time Lord who has kept all of his personalities and has escaped from his prison on Gallifrey. Producer David Richardson commented,
The overall story of Doom Coalition was devised by myself and Ken Bentley over the course of many walks to the studio. Our framework has been fleshed out by a fantastic team of writers, and realised by a brilliant cast – and I can’t wait for the roller-coaster to begin in November.Volume 1 will be released in October priced US$20 for download and $29.46 for CD. The remaining three volumes will span into 2017.
Helen is from 1963. She was, in part, inspired by Doctor Who’s first producer Verity Lambert – she’s a driven, career-minded woman in a male-dominated profession. And she’s a head-strong and capable companion in the mould of Barbara Wright, Sarah Jane Smith and Tegan Jovanka.
Hattie had been on our radar for some time and we’d been waiting for the right role to come along. When we were recording Dark Eyes 4 Hattie’s name came up during conversation and Paul got very enthusiastic, telling us how much he’d like to work with her. The pieces just fell into place. It was the most effortless casting ever.

One of Us Review
So it appears that Cal has similar history in the MCU and the comics. From what I remember of my reading after they revealed his and Skye's identities in December, he was experimenting with Dr. Jekyll's formula and developed super strength and mental instability. The main difference is that in the comics, Daisy got her powers from him, while in the MCU they came from her mother's side of the family (which is Inhuman in origin).
Raina and Cal have both been taken by Gordon in front of SHIELD. So not only are they now both in the same place, but Coulson knows someone else has a vested interest in them. I don't think Coulson's likely to realize that Gordon is an Inhuman anytime soon. He's more or less unaware of any other Inhumans out there. He knows there might be, however, since Vin-Tak mentioned these experiments took place thousands of years ago, so there could be millions of Inhumans by now, and there are several Diviners unaccounted for. The only problem is that Coulson is under the impression that you need to travel to the temple under San Juan in order to use the Diviner. That could be true and the Inhumans might have some secret portal there, or there could be another temple somewhere else. I still like the idea of an Inhuman city being somewhere in China.
I was hoping Bobbi and Mack would turn out to be working for SWORD. In ten movies, we've seen surprisingly little of SHIELD's sister agency. At this point, with SHIELD down, I'm beginning to think we're not going to see them at all. I am, however, intrigued by this group's claim to be the "real" SHIELD. That would imply that either they're staying true to SHIELD's roots (while Coulson somehow isn't) or that they have the official backing of world governments while Coulson has only the unofficial support of General Talbot. I'm rather curious to see how many resources the two SHIELDs have compared to each other. It's possible that this new one has control of several major SHIELD bases and significant manpower, compared to Coulson's one old base and several dozen agents. I think they only way they could have taken that many facilities is if other intelligence agencies let them or if they somehow managed to wrest them from Hydra without other agencies ever finding out about them.

Sherlock Special to Be Victorian
Steven Moffat has confirmed that the Sherlock special will be a non-canon adventure that takes place in Victorian times. It is not a dream or costume party, though he didn't rule out WhoLock.
The special is its own thing. We wouldn’t have done the story we’re doing, and the way we’re doing it, if we didn’t have this special. It’s not part of the run of three episodes. So we had this to do it – as we could hardly conceal – it’s Victorian. [Co-creator Mark Gatiss] and me, we wanted to do this, but it had to be a special, it had to be separate entity on its own. It’s kind of in its own little bubble.
