I've just seen this in a news item from Big Finish (the final paragraph is the relevant one):

It may be a Doctor Who lite year on television for 2009, but you can still get your weekly fix of excitement with the Audio Adventures of Doctor Who. Paul McGann and Sheridan Smith are back as the Eighth Doctor and Lucie for a new series of adventures in time and space. This time, though, the stories will be released for download every Saturday night in half-hour episodes, for sixteen consecutive weeks from Saturday 7th March. Each complete two-part story will subsequently be available on CD as normal, with one a month being released from March. Plus, there will be a bonus ninth adventure which will be released as a Christmas special in December 2009.

The season begins with Orbis by Alan Barnes and Nicholas Briggs, which picks up from the previous season’s cliffhanger in The Vengeance of Morbius. Guest stars for this story include Andrew Sachs (Manuel in Fawlty Towers) as Crassostrea and Laura Solon (Ruddy Hell! It’s Harry and Paul) as Selta.

The Krynoids (The Seeds of Doom, 1976) return in Hothouse, a cautionary ecological tale by Jonathan Morris. Nigel Planer (The Young Ones, The Colour of Magic) plays Alex Marlowe, while Lysette Anthony (Dark Shadows, Dracula: Dead and Loving It) is Hazel Bright.

There’s death and mystery in a small German town in the year 1827 in The Beast of Orlok by Barnaby Edwards. The impressive guest cast includes Miriam Margolyes (Being Julia, Happy Feet, the Harry Potter films) as Frau Tod and Samuel Barnett (The History Boys, Beautiful People) as Hans.

The Doctor and Lucie are then thrown into a war in deep space in Wirrn Dawn by Nicholas Briggs, which sees the return of the parasitic insect monsters from The Ark in Space (1975). Colin Salmon (Hex, Alien vs Predator, Resident Evil, Die Another Day and Dr Moon in Doctor Who: Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead) is trooper Salway, while Daniel Anthony (perhaps best known to DWM readers as Clyde in The Sarah Jane Adventures) is Delong.
