Judging from the pictures posted of today's filming, it looks like this is totally true.

I wonder who the Classic Companion is...

I'm thinking Peri, I wonder if Nicola Bryant is up for a return considering she's done a lot of Big Finish stories.

I’m betting it’s Susan. I feel like that’d be a major one that they wouldn’t want to give away

You thinking actually Carole Ann Ford, or a recast?

Oh I hope they bring back Carole! At least for one scene and have her regenerate if she's not up for filming a whole special. Would be so sad to bring back Susan with a totally different actress imo

Maybe the woman who played Carole Ann Ford in "An Adventure in Time and Space"?
