A big finish for Gary Russell
16/07/2006 . Source: Jessica Martin 
Gary Russell is to step down from his role as full-time Producer of Doctor Who at Big Finish. Buy Doctor Who in the USA - or Buy Doctor Who in the UK  Gary has been producing for Big Finish since 1998 and has been responsible as producer, director and script-editor for the vast majority of the company's output to date.
Of Gary's contribution to Big Finish, Company Director, Jason Haigh-Ellery said 'Gary's hard work and tireless dedication to Big Finish has enabled the company to develop and grow over the last eight years to the point where we are now releasing over forty productions a year.'
Gary has chosen to move on from Big Finish to take advantage of an exciting new opportunity. However, Gary will still be on-hand to ensure an 'orderly transition' and he will also continue to direct several Big Finish productions each year. 'Obviously we are sorry to see Gary go,' said Jason, 'But we're very pleased that he will still be able to work with us as a Director.'
As a result of Gary's departure, Big Finish has undergone a process of restructuring and redefining of roles. In effect, the job of Producer, as it previously was, will no longer exist and the responsibilities have been reassigned. Nicholas Briggs and Jason Haigh-Ellery are to take on the roles of Executive Producers.
With assistance from Script-Editor Alan Barnes, Nick will have full creative responsibility for the Doctor Who range. This will extend to the commissioning of scripts, the appointment of Directors and overseeing post-production.
The redefined position of Producer will now be an organisational and administrative one with responsibility for co-ordinating the entire output of Big Finish and ensuring that all production deadlines are met. This new role has been taken by Sharon Gosling.
Sharon comes to Big Finish from Titan Publishing where she was editor for the official Stargate and Battlestar Galactica magazines. Jason Haigh-Ellery said, 'Sharon's experience and strong organisational and editing skills will make a major contribution to the smooth running and continued development of Big Finish in the future. We are delighted to have her on board and are looking forward to working with her.'
