Doctor Who Magazine regularly release Special Edition magazines about a certain topic and I have always hoped that they might do an edition (say) once a year based on Big Finish.
In the monthly magazine they cover the many audio releases with articles, previews and reviews and it would be nice to be able to collect all of their content into one place focused around a particular range.
For example I thought about this with the sad passing of John Hurt. A special edition on the War Doctor containing interviews with him supplemented with Big Finishes own vortex articles. DWMs previews and reviews of all the audio boxsets as well as new content such a retrospective reviews, additional interviews with the writers and other production staff, plus information of what stories they had planned and perhaps a script of the first story with additional thoughts and notes interspersed like an audio Fact of Fiction.
Now with the loss of another well loved actor and the end of another audio range I am once again thinking how wonderful it would be to have a special edition magazine. This time focused on Jago & Litefoot. Although not as high profile compared to the War Doctor in DWM, the sheer volume of their output coupled with Big Finishes own back catalogue of writings would easily fill a magazine and provide a collectors item as an accompaniment to their now complete audio adventures.
So what do others think? Does this idea have merit and if so why wouldn't they have already done something similar?
Or would you rather wait for Big Finish themselves to produce a hardback Jago & Litefoot book?

Both of these I would love to see. A Jago and Litefoot one would be perfect. Maybe they can use Billy2's Timelines to get it in order

Though isn't that something the two Big Finish Companion books have already done?
