How about River Song having to deal with Rose Tyler in the Ten era? Which one does the Doctor love the most? My money is on Miss Tyler. That would be war. I mean, Rose could barely handle Sarah Jane!!

I mean she was a wee bit of a bunny boiler in the end 😂🤪 I think i sensed, he really planned the parallel universe gig with the Daleks and the Cybermen as a way to permanently get her out of the way. But in true psycho ,not going to let anyone else have you style ,she goes and builds a cannon to punch holes in universes and stuff to find him.A normal girl would have got the message😉 I mean no sooner gone he’s Got Martha😎 Ha! He loved her as much as he loved River Song. As for the rest? Get that nonsense over to the unpopular theories thread toot sweet!

I know nothing about the Eighth Doctor books. As such I would only want adaptations if Big Finish fully committed to them with introductions and exits for companions and resolutions to any arcs. The benefit of the Missing Adventure range of novels were that they were just that and therefore could be dipped into. Having just one or two novel adaptations with a companion I know nothing about would give me pause. 100% agreed. That was one of the misgivings I had with adapting the VNAs. I liked the concept but for my liking there wasn't quite enough commitment to connecting the dots. You can't listen to the audio versions on their own and get a cohesive run for that era. I wish they'd go back and fill in some holes.

Ten loves Rose, who the hell is River Song to him? A possible future? He's got a billion of those, Rose is with him now. And I say all this even though I rate Martha as Ten's best companion and I really like River, but the Moment took Rose's form for a reason, not River Song's.

And I say all this even though I rate Martha as Ten's best companion and I really like River, but the Moment took Rose's form for a reason, not River Song's. I would have to agree that Martha was a better companion but they still did the unrequited love aspect. I still remember when watching that i wished the writers would go for a different angle and return to a sort of disinterested in love aspect of the Classic years.It was much better that Sarah Jane loved the Doctor as did Jo Grant but not the “pining” aspect that got written in.Nothing should interfere with the saving the universe and battling monsters. Its interesting that the audios of of Ten and Rose kept that angle out of it and are the more enjoyable for it IMO.The Donna Noble years proved far more entertaining as well when it was establkished that they were just MATES. As for the “Moment” taking Roses Form she was kind of pushy,she probably locked the River Manifestation or the Amy one in a cupboard at the time of selection lol😜😂🤪

Because they wanted her to appear in the 50th.
What I've never understood is that for the War Doctor, surely Rose is just one possible future among billions? Why would he, a very very different personality from Ten or even Nine, be expected to react especially well to seeing her? Still, I suppose Time was doing complicated things around then, it must have been some 'future potential thingy' event that only a Time Lord could pick up.

DI Menzies becoming a legit companion. Ideally with Sixie, but I'm not fussed. I mean, I'd even buy an X Files style non-doctor Menzies spinoff range. She's definitely one of my VERY favourite BF characters, and she's had a woefully limited amount of appearances to date.

Unlike the majority of Who spinoffs DI Menzies doesn’t have the draw to many that the television companions have, however I would agree that her setup, police inspector who deals with aliens, would make for a good series.

Mmm. A neo-noir detective series with sci-fi trappings. I'll take that over a lot of other spinoff ideas.

Agreed. Since the end of the X-files, there is a certain hole in my life that needs filling.

Another vote there. It'd be great to have a series that's less a fish-out-of-water story and more about how Manchester's DIs help the more unusual residents of their city with more unusual problems. Something where it's an open secret among those in the city, but any knowledge of it has to stay within the city. Almost Sanctuary-like.

While keeping the aliens (mostly) under wraps as far as the human population are concerned? "Woman in Blue" rather than "Men in Black"!
OK I'll admit you'd need a better title but I think the idea has legs! (Exact number variable, depending on planets of origin. )

I get what you mean by a Sanctuary-like series though. But if I'm honest, I'd rather a Big Finish continuation of Sanctuary rather than a replacement (Yeah, I know it's not likely, but I can dream )

But if I'm honest, I'd rather a Big Finish continuation of Sanctuary rather than a replacement (Yeah, I know it's not likely, but I can dream ) I'd actually thought I'd talked my way into a neo-noir Rivers of London, but Torchwood works as well. I can see it as being a bit more habitual. If you're a local, you'd know where to go and what's what, but policy is to keep it to yourself. No one higher-up knows, not because they'd be particularly shocked, but because the hail of trouble that would come down on them, would find its way down to you. They'd make sure of it. It's a city of "agreements" and "understandings". Ah, never say die. Who knew that we'd have a Terrahawks range and see audiobook adaptations of Captain Scarlet? I need to revisit Sanctuary at some point, I don't think I ever got to the end. Need to fix that.

Big Finish has granted so many of my wishes that about all I can think of that I'm waiting for at the moment beside whatever New Series casting coups they can manage, is more Class, for the Third Doctor Adventures to become twice-yearly, and maybe a Last Adventure release for the Seventh Doctor. The Sixth Doctor's Last Adventure was too good for the Seventh Doctor not to have the same.
Not sure why it is but it seems like the Third Doctor Adventures, Torchwood, and Dark Shadows make such an impression that having a relisten to any of them soon after the last listen somehow seems somewhat pointless, and there are only 10 3DA stories to choose from as it is. If there's any Doctor at Big Finish I think I need more of, it's the Third.

The Brain Drain / The Labyrinth) for The Lost Stories range yet. The story originally co-written by Jon Pertwee in 1970.

Well, we're not sure how developed the storyline was, or even if it still survives - apparently the storyline was never seriously considered by the production team, so even if there was ever enough for an adaptation it's quite possible it no longer exists.
