Sure, why not 😂.
I can see the idea of sci-fi heist stories and she was quite a cool character at the time, although if Sylvia had the Slitheen are coming back for it, then it does feel like they're retreading the stuff coming up in the 10th Doctor Chronicles.

I'll give it a go probably on DL I thought she had the most potential for a spin-off at the time well tied with Jenny that is (and incididently if you haven't got the Jenny Boxset you can it Bundled with this or the next 2 Dairy of River Song Volumes)

Part of a bundle with the Jenny release but no discount for buying as a bundle?
What's the point in that?

The UNIT links and the two new writers intrigue me. I'll keep an eye on this one.

Hmmm
I was thinking of maybe trying the Tenth Doctor Chronicles so I guess if she's good in that I might give this set a look.

Intrigued to see what they do with the character. I wonder if it’s somehow linked with Tenth Doctor Chronicles considering the use of Sylvia and Slitheen in both box sets. I don’t think it’ll be an instant buy personally, probably more depending on the reviews as I feel maybe with Benny, River, Jenny, Graceless, Charlotte Pollard, the whole Female Adventurer and former companion of the Doctor on her own adventures, format is becoming a little tired.

So they’re using the Slitheen and Sylvia... much like the Tenth Doctor Chronicles set...?

This intrigues me more than any other 'nu-Who' Big Finish spin-off if I'm honest. Michelle Ryan is a terrific actress and Christine de Souza the most interesting element by far in Planet of the Dead. Two very good writers, and two I'm not familiar with. Shall I give this ago? I think so!

I am intrigued by the title "Skin Deep". Presuming this is the Slitheen story, I hope it is the story I have long wanted BF to tell about them - really exploring the whole "impersonate people by murdering and eviscerating them and using their physical remains as a disguise" which is only ever touched on briefly on television.

Ooh, this one does appeal to me. I do like a rogue. She's definitely an interesting character with a lot of scope. I look forward to seeing how these turn out.

Oh, this is evil, Big Finish. Oh, this is so, so evil.
I know your going to redeem a character I thoroughly despise (I HAVE NEVER HATED A DOCTOR WHO CHARACTER BEFORE LADY CHRISTINA), you know that I wait can't wait to see how you do it in the Tenth Doctor Chronicles AND THEN YOU GIVE HER A WHOLE BLOODY SERIES WHICH I KNOW WILL BE BRILLIANT? (And you threw John Dorney into it. Just to let me really know)
Just take my wallet, Big Finish and I know you've bloody earnt it.

I'd imagine anything involving Pete's World is something the TV series is going to want to keep in it's pocket - I don't think the Meta Crisis Ten and Jackie stories are going to be anything other then a grounded expansion of Rose's ending in Journey's End. But hey, you know Big Finish are going to do great things with Lady Christina
