I seem to recall someone saying that in 2017 the Holmes range would be adapting some more canon stories, I'm curious as to what ones we'd like to hear.
for me, I'd love to hear what they'd do with "The Devil's Foot" and "Dying Detective".

There can never be too many adaptations of "The Sign of the Four" in my opinion.

His Last Bow, for me. It's right in the middle of a bunch of stories BF have done, and they tied Childs' character to it, so I think it'd be nice for them to do.

That would be my number one request and I hope they could expand upon the ending into other stories. In truth I am not too keen on more adaptions, simply because I have all the BBC audio adventures, but as you say this would link in with the existing Big Finish Holmes canon. |

Again I'd like to add my vote for
'His Last Bow'
It would as said fit in with the background to Tracey Child's character and give opportunity for Nick Briggs to show off his vocal range
Also the speech about a bitter wind coming and that England may wither before its blast could not only be seen as referencing the First World War (but also the Second World War in the Rathbone film ''Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror) .
This would also allow Big Finish to make an oblique comment on the future following Brexit

I also think 'His Last Bow' would also allow Big Finish to stretch their imagination on casting a big baddie in Von Bork
And then also allow an exciting cameo in
Baron Von Herling as a Senior German at the beginning

I think "Study in Scarlet" isn't adapted enough given that it's the very first Sherlock Holmes story. His Last Bow would also be great, as would The Sign of Four, Scandal in Bohemia...
Can we just get all the stories in the canon?

Pity this is just canon. I'd love to see Big Finish's take on the giant rat of Sumatra story.

The Valley of Fear needs a good adaptation. The only adaptation I am familiar with is The Triumph of Sherlock Holmes from 1935 with Arthur Wontner as Holmes. The film was in very poor condition but I thought Wontner was very good in the role. It is however not one of the better Holmes stories. He's absent for a significant amount of the story due to the excessive flashbacks. I think it needs an adaptation the most.
