A post on bluesky quote-posting a post by Big Finish that reads: "The Big Finish team were deeply saddened and shocked to learn of the passing of our friend and colleague, Justin Richards, who died peacefully at the weekend. Our sincere condolences go out to his family and friends. A full tribute will follow." The quote post, whose author's name and handle are removed in the image, reads: "A complicated legacy. Prolific and reliable like few if any Wilderness Years writers; The Burning remains one of Who‘s most impressive reinventions. But he also exemplified how the Wilderness generation hung around too long, squandering the chance for new series books to be anything but disposable."
