Ignoring those already announced I'd like the remaining Ian Marter books, Power & Evil of the Daleks, the 3 Peter Grimwade novels, the 2 Steve Gallagher/John Lydecker novels. Also the Ultimate Evil, not because it's good but because BF never adapted it
New novelisations of Resurrection/Revelation would be great as well.
I realise this is unrealistic due to rights issues & causing offence to the original writers/novelisers, but there are some stories that were turkeys on TV that could benefit form a good renovelisation, Silver Nemesis, Monster of Peladon (novelised to the same standard as the novelisation of Curse), Arc of Infinity, Destiny of the Daleks ... the list goes on

Wasn't there a Resurrection of the Daleks adaptation/reading in the pipeline before AudioGo went down?

Yeah, I think Steve Lyons was writing the adaptation and it was even up on Amazon for pre-order at one stage... then AudioGo collapsed. It would be nice if the BBC followed through and finished that project one day.

Oh is that why they're talking about a new version of the Daleks with a changed beginning

Given the popularity of the range, I'd imagine that new novelisations of Resurrection and Revelation (Saward was actually going to write a new novelisation for Ressurection, but then scant few details were revealed afterwards) is a high possibility. In the case of Silver Nemesis, it'd be intresting if Andrew Cartmel did the novelisation. Original author Kevin Clarke from the interview on the Silver Nemesis DVD didn't seem to be all that intrested in Who - and was clearly using the interview as a 'take the money' situation! On the DVD, he relates how he didn't know anything about Doctor Who and bluffed his way through the interview believing The Doctor's name was a pysendeom for God and believed it was a successful bluff!

Also the Ultimate Evil, not because it's good but because BF never adapted it There is a reading of that commercially available.

But I doubt it has much commercial appeal - it doesn't even have the TV version to fall back on it. Most people will look at it like "well, that was a mediocre/terrible story" or "what on earth is this?"

To an extent, when it came to the others Terrance would say "well I did them as well as i could in the time-contraints, better could be done with longer".

I wonder if we'll see The Power of The Daleks novelised in the first year of the next Doctor?

An Unearthly Child - just release the one you've got already! The Keys of Marinus - round-robin read by Russell, Ford, and Jemma Powell Planet of Giants - read by John Guilor The Time Meddler - read by Greame Garden The Seeds of Death - read by David Troughton, with Ice Warrior voices by Briggs Day of the Daleks - read by Katy Manning, with Dalek voices by Briggs The Mutants - read by Tim Treloar The Time Monster - read by Geoffrey Beevers Downtime - read by Jemma Redgrave
And that would, between existing audiobooks and soundtracks, give us the entirety of the first three Doctors on audio.

It'd be nice to hear Michael Troughton get a turn on a Second Doctor audio. And when it comes to The Mutants, I find it hard to see past Garrick Hagon - an audiobook legend.

New novelisations of Resurrection/Revelation would be great as well. I can't help in terms of providing a reading, but if you're just looking for novelisations of Resurrection and Revelation of the Daleks, I'd like to point you towards the Doctor Who New Zealand Fan Club's attempts on their website. They also have three rather splendid adaptations of City of Death (with additional scenes including the Doctor's visit to the Hermit and his birthday party with figures like Napoleon, Shakespeare, Dickens and Leonardo), The Pirate Planet and Shada. Well worth the look: doctorwho.org.nz/archive/novelisations.html
