Big Finish just released more information about the third in their
Doctor Who Unbound audio series, Full Fathom Five by David Bishop. As
noted yesterday, actor David Collings ("Sapphire and Steel") stars as
the Doctor; he is joined in this story by Ed Bishop, whose many roles
include Commander Ed Straker in "UFO," voices for the animated "Star
Trek" series and guest shots in series such as "The Professionals"
and "Highlander", and Siri O'Neal, who starred in the popular BBC
children's TV serial "Moondial". "The story is set in two time
periods, twenty-eight years apart," says producer John Ainsworth, "in
a military base at the bottom of the ocean. To reveal much more about
the story would perhaps spoil the enjoyment, but unlike the previous
two Doctor Who Unbound adventures, there will be no re-working of
familiar Doctor Who continuity. This is quite a different approach to
the Unbound concept."

The Unbound series is a "What if" line that is being put out for
Doctor Who fans - they have recently acquired other actors to play
the Doctor including David Warner and Derek Jacobi!!
