Bring back the old theme tune! I'd love it. Along with Iris, it's my most missed theme. I don't know why BF bother tinkering with things that work fine!

I wonder if we'll be seeing the Doctor in this "new" Counter-Measures series? Will it take on the (financial mandatory) participation of the Doctor as did UNIT: Dominion and the latest Benny box sets? If sales were perfectly fine, wouldn't the now past tense Counter-Measures product just have continued onto the next series without a rebranding? I'd be ok with a CM Doctor presence, but more so on special occasions only.

I'd love for the CM team to go really deep undercover to work outside of the old power structure, while also setting up ties to the other parts of the Who universe that cover a lot of the same ground. So start weaving in Torchwood & UNIT as way to highlight what they have in common but also using that as a way to highlight the differences.

Maybe an appearance by Dame Emily Shaw. She's been active in committee circles a while (OMG, that could tie into the current Torchwood arc!), as noted in The Last Post, and in the same story she says she's signed the official Secrets act many times.
Sir Toby: Hello, Dame Emily. How's your daughter? Emily: She's doing fine. Liz is currently at Cambridge studying physics. Sir Toby: That's interesting. I used to employ a scientist who went there.

According to Vortex, the New Counter-Measures special release is entitled Who Killed Toby Kinsella?
Interesting...

{Spoiler} Or maybe he is as dead as the rest of his team (ie: not at all)! It will be fun finding out.

If Chunky dies, we riot.

As I noted on the previous forum, I don't think anyone died. Their "deaths" were all too public. I think Counter Measures transitions into a Torchwood style organization that operates outside the typical power corridors of Whitehall. Or in my perfect world, a British style, alien threat hunting A-Team.

In the future, he writes his memoirs (Assassination Games), speaks fondly of Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart in the early 70s (Foreshadowing) and puts Ace on the right track in 1968 ( The Dimension Riders EDIT: Left-Handed Hummingbird. Cheers, seeley). So, for continuity's sake, I agree entirely.

I'm sure I'll come up with some theory if it does happen, but I'll actively hope against it. Also I like Gilmore and I want to see (hear) him happy.

puts Ace on the right track in 1968 (The Dimension Riders). If you'll pardon my pedantry, that was the Left-Handed Hummingbird. Also, for what it's worth, there's a recently-released short-story from Candy Jar Books in which a post- Web of Fear Lethbridge-Stewart meets Gilmore.

Oh, it totally was Left-Handed Hummingbird. Nothing takes place in 1968 in the other novel, but having read both in quick succession recently, the whole Alt Universe arc is melding together in my mind. And that's fascinating! Was that the free Christmas one?
