** Similarly, he gets to do this in "The Maltese Penguin", acting both as Six and as Frobisher[[note]]a shape-shifting alien who was a companion of The Doctor in the comics[[/note]] posing as Six, meaning that Colin Baker has to do his own voice as if he were a Canadian[[note]]Robert Jezek, Frobisher's actor[[/note]] doing a bad Brooklyn accent trying to sound like Colin Baker. And it is as awesome and hilarious as it sounds.

* MoneyDearBoy: Creator/ChristopherEccleston was very honest about his main motivation for returning to the role of the Ninth Doctor being the difficulty in finding work during the 2020 UsefulNotes/COVID19andemic. He did stress, however, that he still wouldn't have taken it if he wasn't impressed with the quality of the material, and the fact that at Big Finish he didn't have to contend with BBC executives (which he cited as one of the main reasons why he quit the role on TV after just one series) also appealed to him.

* TheOriginalDarrin: A peculiar example happened with Omega. When Big Finish first made a story about Omega in 2003, they cast Ian Collier, the actor who potrayed him in his second appearance on the TV series in "Arc of Infinity". By the time Big Finish made a second story featuring Omega in 2015, Collier had passed away in 2008, so they cast Stephen Thorne, his original actor who portrayed him in his first appearance in "The Three Doctors" instead.

** In a [[https://www.bigfinish.com/podcasts/v/2021-10-31-twelfth-timejacked 2021 episode of the Big Finish Podcast]] Nic Briggs reveals that ''Matt Smith'' was at one point cast to play one of the companions in the ''Company of Friends'' monthly adventure, and it's heavily it was going to be as ''[[Literature/EighthDoctorAdventures Fitz Kreiner]]''! We didn't get to see this because Briggs veto'd the decision since he thought that Smith was too young... and then Smith got cast as the Doctor a few months after they finished recording and before the stories release. Considering the boost in interest that the Luther Arkwright release got when David Tennant was cast as the Doctor they were most likely kicking themselves over this decision.
