January 2012 sees the release of Doctor Who: The Lost Stories – The Fourth Doctor Box Set, five-disc package.

The serial was planned for TV broadcast in 1977, and development was well underway when Stewart was offered a job with ITV.

"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."

It is good to hear another original Doctor is on board. That brings all the surviving actors from Tom Baker to Paul McGann on board, form the original series.
I have placed my pre-order for both the Lost stories and the 2 series on CDs. Cost is $240 AU or $125 AU for download only. (I am so old I still like to have a CD to rip)
