As well as the first part of Time Lord Victorious: Monstrous Beauty, this issue of Doctor Who Magazine has a detailed guide to Time Lord Victorious and an interview with producer James Goss.
James reveals more about the origins of the multi-platform story here:
“Essentially my job was to shape the entire project and provide vague story outlines for each strand. I spent my first week at the BBC writing a Time Lord Victorious bible. Then I had meetings with each of the licensees, going into more detail as people asked questions or made suggestions.
"There was a terrible moment at the end of March – I think we all had a terrible moment at the end of March – when we had a routine meeting and I expected everyone to say, ‘Sorry, can we postpone this project until the crisis is over?’ But absolutely every licensee was committed to finding a way of carrying on. It was a genuinely moving meeting. Big Finish started the ball rolling by saying, ‘We can’t record in a studio but Paul McGann’s son has some band kit in the garage…’ And it went on from there.”
