Tom Baker has officially signed on for Big Finish to reprise his role as the Fourth Doctor and he will be reunited with former companions Louise Jameson (Leela) and Mary Tamm (Romana I). More details here: www.doctorwhonews.net/2011/03/dwn150311230312-tom-baker-signs-for-big.htmlThe most popular of the Fourth Doctor companions is Sarah Jane Smith played by Lis Sladen. Sarah probably isn’t able to be reunited with the Fourth Doctor on Big Finish just yet most probably due to Lis’ commitment to her own TV spin-off series The Sarah Jane Adventures. It is probable that recording of the new Fourth Doctor Big Finishes would clash to filming dates of SJA season 5. |

Found out from DWM 443 that Alice Krige finally made an appearance in Doctor Who in the Romana season.
Alice Krige was the Borg Queen in Star Trek: First Contact & the Star Trek: Voyager, therefore becoming the latest actor to appear in both Doctor Who and Star Trek, and more recently as Elena Gavrik in the final season of Spooks.
Looking more into this, she is a guest star in the story Phantoms of the Deep.

From the Doctor Who News Page:
The second season of Big Finish’s Fourth Doctor Adventures will start with The Auntie Matter to be released in January 2013 with the late Mary Tamm as Romana.
The guest cast includes Robert Portal as Reggie, Lucy Griffiths as Mabel, Alan Cox as Grenville, with Julia McKenzie as the sinister Aunt Florence.
Absolutely delighted about the casting of Lucy Griffiths who I have seen in Robin Hood (2006-09) as she had played Marian.
