With the Ood coming back in the first box set, as link to the Tenth Doctor era and the behind the scenes acknowledging the productions desire of female protagonists for the Doctor’s Daughter, my obvious thought for series 2 would be the Carrionites.
Basically because they are the only female based monster I can remember from that period, plus I like them. The Junior Doctor encountering a coven of witches amongst the stars sounds like fun to me.
But it is awhile since I watched the Tenth Doctor on television, so are there any other female candidates for a return?

The Wire, the Krillitanes could easily be female, possibly another Plasmavore (?), maybe the Pyroviles (?), a Vespiform (?). There weren't many specifically female monsters/villains from that period (that are still alive, see Ms Foster with the Adipose). It isn't the richest period for returns...

Margaret Blaine.
Basically I'm going to keep suggesting that for every range until it happens

I would like the second box set sooner rather than later please. That is all.

It's possible Big Finish might want to establish Jenny's own rogues gallery, though before relying on any other Who villians.

I wasn't saying that they would or should use these, I was simply answering mbt66's question.

Not a villain per se, I could see Jenny running into Leela at some point. It'd be intresting way for Jenny to reconcile her two dividing natures. In terms of Who villians, The Rani would be an intresting villain for Jenny to encounter without The Doctor's experience later in her arc, although I imagine Chibnall probably has her in his deck for the time being.

Sorry, it just seemed like you were making it my suggestion by quoting me back I was just trying to give the idea's creator their due.

How could I have forgotten the greatest female monsters of Doctor Who - the Weeping Angels! They do pose a problem being silent assassins in the TV series, but Big Finish have managed to use them well previously so I am sure they could give them a voice. Oh...Voice of an Angel...sounds like a good title, which then makes me think...Song of an Angel. Perhaps Jenny and River Song could have a cross over adventure featuring Weeping Angels in their own boxsets with the same story told from their different viewpoints!?

Well, this was really good. Stolen Goods in particular, was a hoot, and there were a lot of good moments in Prisoner of the Ood.
Someone's going to need to explain the physics in Zero Space to me, though. In particular - why did they lose control of the ship in Zero Space? Also, like Jenny, I didn't get the Schrödinger joke. As I understand it, the point of the cat thought experiment is that even after its death/non-death from radiation poisoning, the cat remains in a superposition of alive/dead until a measurement is taken (i.e. someone looks inside the box). How was this funny or relevant to the events in the story?

I think the point is more about that just as the cat could be alive or dead, the clones could live or die if they leave the station. By staying there they never open the box to find out out of fear of dying, so life and death are equally valid and none of the two states are disproved.

But that's not the point of Schrödinger's thought experiment, as I understand it. Surely it was specifically designed to illustrate the absurdity (as perceived by Schrödinger) of the Copenhagen notion that quantum systems don't have definite properties until a measurement/observation is made. There's nothing at all absurd about the notion that something has definite physical properties even if they are unknown until an observation is made or experiment performed. If there were, what would have been the point of Schrödinger's analogy? And wouldn't these incredibly brilliant scientists be well aware of that?

I’ll hopefully have a full review ready to go soon, but this has got to be my favourite release of the year so far. I loved everything about it and I can’t wait for a Volume 2. I was intially sceptical about a range based on a polarised character who appeared once 10 years ago but I’m so happy to have been proved wrong. Amazing.

Stolen Goods
That was fun. A lighter tone that fits Jenny perfectly. Exactly what I'd hoped for from this set.
Love the theme tune too.

Prisoner of the Ood
Nice to see the Ood again (well, hear) and the story was pretty good. Worth pointing out though, technically Jenny is responsible for everyone who dies here (which is quite a few people) since it was all caused by her blundering into the prison.
A certain writer's cameo was fun too.

Finished the series, but haven't listened to the interviews yet. One thing on the mystery of Noah - weren't they given a big clue by the events in Neon Reign? Unless I missed something he was recognized an an "elder one" throughout. So, he must be related to the people on that planet or who came to that planet. That bears investigation.
Overall, I enjoyed the set. In Prisoner of the Ood, I thought it was a bit strange that just resisting the scan killed the people the Ood were scanning. I would think that they were come up with some way to calm them down or Noah would have eventually convinced them to do that. Or perhaps they would have allowed him to somehow to get the message across appropriately.

Neon Reign
That was a weird one, with a twist out of The Wizard of Oz. Weakest of the set by far.
Zero Space
A pretty small scale finale but interesting stuff, addressing Jenny's feelings on her parentage in a context that make sense. Oh and that cameo!
Overall the set was pretty enjoyable, I think the first story was the strongest. I hope there's a follow-up, especially as we still know nothing about Noah (aside from some odd hints in Neon Reign)
