What new release are you expecting to be announced, but haven't been as yet...?
Even after the recent Eighth Doctor news of three more Time War box sets I currently feel like I am waiting for lots of Big Finish announcements
Here are my current top five.
1 - Jago & Litefoot series 14 I am desperately waiting on news regarding them. If they continue the twice yearly release pattern, I am still hoping for the next series around October this year.
2 - Sherlock Holmes It has verbally (or did I dream it?) been confirmed that there will be another Jonathan Barnes boxset and (I think) a Christmas special. However with Nick doing so much else, I fear I might have to wait until next year for the release, but some confirmation in print would be nice.
3 - River Song volume 3 Surely the next volume must be on it's way and will it be the Fifth Doctor she meets this time?
4 - More Four With so much already having been announced and pre-ordered. Is it so wrong to hope for more? After all there is a comic strip adaptation still to be announced.
5 - The Doctor's Daughter I really did think that we would get this before the Tenth Doctor Adventures volume 2. The more I think about it the more I hope it still happens. However I fear that this will fall into the Charlotte Pollard trap...

I thought the last Sherlock Holmes box set was supposed to be Johnathan Barnes final entry into the series and Nick has spoken about doing adaptations of other Doyle stories and/or adaptations of Holmes stories from other writers. I could of course be wrong. I'm hoping we finally get that Jago & Litefoot Christmas special so many of us have asked for over the years that gets the "That's a good idea" comment from Nick. River Song is so tied up with Alex Kingston's availability in the UK that I figure we are in the we will get it when we get it. My main hope if for Dark Shadows: Bloodline in 2017 or very early 2018.

1. River Vol 3
2. DWM Comic Strip Adaptation
I'd hope for a Classic Doc New Monsters Vol 3
I'm torn in as much as I find it an intriguing idea would I prefer a Jenny Boxset over more 10DA.

Yes, on a podcast Nick did say we will be getting a Sherlock Holmes box set (Barnes not specified) and Christmas Special.
With Lives of Captain Jack coming out this month (for those of us who have crossed the date line) I wonder if it will be become a Volume 1.
Jago and Litefoot 14 needs to be recording now for an October release.
Actually, October, November and December are looking kinda sparce. What will we get for them? What will Halloween bring us? More than The Tony and Cassandra Mysteries? Without monthly Torchwood, what will fill the gap?

The next Sherlock is supposed to be a single story boxset by Jonathan Barnes is called The Master of Blackstone Grange.

Sherlock, for one!
Future sets featuring Jago and Litefoot, The Prisoner, Dark Shadows: Bloodlines.
This whispered-about secret contract from years gone by, which I'm hoping is The Tomorrow People.
The HP Lovecraft Tales. (Fair enough, that last one is purely wishful thinking on my part, but as they say, if you wish hard enough ... )

Well, there you go. Proven wrong by the keeper of the information.

Which reminds me, I don't think I ever listened to last year's Sherlock Holmes box set.

And I agree the last quarter of the year does look a little light. If I was a betting man I would bet that a release for Jago & Litefoot and the comic adaptation will be announced for that period.

I agree the last quarter of the year does look a little light. I find it interesting that this year we got three monthly series in the first half of the year: Fourth Doctor, Pathfinder and Torchwood Stories (as I call the "non-specials" range). It means that the second half is full of box sets. Has that been a trend in previous years, and why? Although, with previously-monthly series moving to box sets (Blake's 7 Full-Cast this year and Fourth Doctor next year), it probably is changing. (On the other hand, Torchwood is setting a precedent for an alternating schedule.)

A sequel series of box sets between Doom Coalition and The Time War. The Third Doctor Adventures Volume 04 (surely we'll be getting more). And a story with the 80s Cybermen, which I think was said to be in the works in a podcast.
I'll add to the voices for The Diary of River Song Volume 3, Classic Doctors, New Monsters Volume 3, and DW Comic Adaptations.

The next Jago & Litefoot and Gallifrey are the two I'm most hanging out for.
The Tenth Doctor Chronicles (especially in the light of Tennant being back with volume 2 of the Tenth Doctor Adventures) and the Eleventh Doctor Chronicles, along with the Jenny boxed set are the releases that I'm most curious about at this point, as far as BF's plans go, even if there's no guarantee that I'll be buying them personally. Oh, and the comic adaptations, which I probably will be buying regardless.
As for what I long to see announced, the usual. Fourth Doctor and Adric, Sixth Doctor back with Peri, or Frobisher, or both. Seventh Doctor going solo for a while. Eighth Doctor and Mary Shelley. Eccleston and Smith announced (blind hope springs eternal). BF using the Short Trips format to close off long-standing/abandoned dangling plot threads and cliffhangers. Series D set Blake's 7. Denis Lill as Charles Vaughan in Survivors. Mark Elstob cast in a Danger Man audio series. As I said, the usual.

4 - More Four With so much already having been announced and pre-ordered. Is it so wrong to hope for more? After all there is a comic strip adaptation still to be announced. I wonder just how many series of the FDA they are going to record?, last I read they were already recording Season 10 a few months back, and I've read they generally work three or four years ahead of release schedule, Tom Baker certainly seems keen to keep working as long as possible, maybe they will even reach series 20... Presumably the new companion will get at least two or three seasons (if she is popular I guess BF might create another New companion later down the line?), both Matthew Waterhouse and Tom Baker have indicated they would be willing to work together so hopefully we will get a couple of seasons of 4/Adric or 4/Romana/Adric (and K9? or would that be prohibitively expensive?) eventually, I feel certain the comic adaptation will be a 4th Doctor story (I think he has a different companion in the comics?) and there's always the possibility of more PHP...

Nick has made it sound as though there won't be anything made with Frobisher when it has come up in podcasts or questions in Vortex.

Nick did mention that original Conan-Doyle stories might be on the agenda,but a new Johnathan Barnes boxset "The master of Blackstone grange" This sounds brilliant to me!!! Although Oct, Nov, Dec, are looking sparse at the moment, I am sure this is something BF will quickly remedy!! Cheque-Books ready!!!

What new release are you expecting to be announced, but haven't been as yet...? 5 - The Doctor's Daughter Is this a definite thing, or wishful thinking? If we're doing wishful thinking, then I'd like to get "The Watcher Chronicles" with Anthony Head.
