If it's 'Desert Island' anything, then the correct number is 8.
Plus we get to choose a luxury item (Who-related of course.)

Non-Who? Hm... Probably ATA Girl, Blake's 7: The Spoils of War, The Invisible Man, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Sherlock Holmes: The Master of Blackstone Grange, and The Ordeals of Sherlock Holmes. If Torchwood counts as non-Who, I'd add Torchwood: Believe, Corpse Day, and Fall to Earth to the list. Runner-ups include House by the Sea, Blake's 7: Fractures, Sherlock Holmes: The Hound of the Baskervilles, and The Quentin Collins Collection (or some other Dark Shadows collection).

Yes Guy May have adapted but HG Wells material. Oh indeed yes Wells' material (mostly) - but he adapted the "unadaptable" book into a coherent, gripping adventure with a strong narrative thread, out of several hundred pages of Wells' imaginative but sometimes nebulous far-left propaganda.
I admire what he did all the more because I disagree with practically every word of the political thrust of the story - but I still loved the adventure!

And Shilling and Sixpence SHILLING AND SIXPENCE! finished it last night, glad you enjoyed it but it’s in my torture list not desert island.........hated it.......lol I only did the [free] first episode of Shilling & Sixpence and I thought it was dreadful... if it gets better in later episodes then I'm missing out. But based on what I've heard, it's not for me.

Hammy no I have seen Sylvesters Time and the Rani 😂 Lol.....that’s not ham.......that’s high camp! It’s definitely something....But truthfully I felt the clipped upper class English dialogue ended after the second episode and by the time you are on Appointment with God it becomes excellent and truly quite chilling drama. Celia trapped in the cage within the lighthouse with a madman and a corpse really is excellent drama. And in no way Hammy,I will defend it Shilling and Sixpence is excellent as is the acting.

And just to ensure my defence is justified as regards Shilling and Sixpence i had a quick listen to Lord Peter Wimsey an upper class English detective that does annoy me Then a listen to The Dying Room in Shilling and Nope not a ham in sight,actually i have never had a Big Finish that genuinely sent shivers down my spine and this episode does it in spadefuls
