I moved all the big story idea posts to the "Fantasy Releases!" thread in the General Big Finish section. Enjoy the crazy ideas! Thanks 😊

We never did find out who Gus is, the voice behind to deaths in Mummy on the Orient Express. Might be time for another meeting between him and the Doctor. As long as they make him very different from The Master or the other villains we've seen.

Not sure if I particularly want this or not. You could say I’m of two minds on the subject. But I expect that we might one day find out more about the Time Lord fanatic that was the Heretic. Never was confirmed what happened to him.

As long as they make him very different from The Master or the other villains we've seen. It's entirely speculation, but maybe Gus was a computer worm? Standalone malware that duplicates itself across multiple systems -- a little bit of Gus here, a little Gus there. Corrupting and modifying systems as it went. Less as a sort of hive mind intelligence and more like a brierpatch. It sounded almost mercenary at the time, but was scrupulous about covering its tracks. Come to think of it, we never found out who Gus's employers were either. Why they were so interested in the Mummy as a weapon. There are quite a few candidates...

A sentient computer virus who moonlights as a mercenary is a truly inspired idea.

GUS: Gallifreyan Ulterior Stealthworm
Created to be able to infiltrate and takeover any system and do it very much on the quiet. Always implies it's an independent operator, resists detection attempts with perception code and self-deletes its timeline at the first hint of detection. If looked for, it was never there. Or takes more drastic action if necessary to cover its tracks; total plausible deniability of any link with Gallifrey is its Prime Directive.
Useful when trying to evade even the Daleks and the scrutiny of the Lord President Eternal while secretly recruiting an unstoppable weapon for the Agency in the midst of the Time War...

Another one here who loves this idea! Definitely different from other villains we've had, and completely works within the episode.

Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler visiting the Land of Fiction and meeting fictional Jamie McCrimmon again. In a New fun trilogy arc Any arc in any New Series Doctor release would be nice. The RTD years were so good at weaving in an arc - one that didn't overpower the standalone tales, but paid off nicely in the season finale. So I'm surprised we haven't seen that at all in the Tenth Doctor Adventures - a nod to something in the first two episodes of a box set and a resolution in the third (in a way that works even if you've only bought the third one, of course). But if the Land of Fiction came up, I think I'd rather them do something a little different than what's been done before. The Land and other fiction-is-reality stories have been done again and again (the TV series, novels, audios and comics have all had at least two shots) but I still think there's some scope for something new. Maybe they could do a sort of interim series once they are able to move away from the TV companions that's like the 8DAs at the moment, with a new arc and even a subtitle? Four volumes of three stories each would almost make an RTD series.

Another loose thread from the Capaldi era is the Shoal of the Winter Harmony, who we saw in both Husbands and Mysterio. They could maybe explore that with either River or Nardole, or both.

What kind of companion should 10 get? Maybe someone not from Earth or from either the past or the future 🤔 Idea: Michael Sheen as a seemingly timid and soft spoken Victorian gentleman who ends up 10’s companion after the TARDIS accidentally lands in his bookshop while he is closing up his shop. They would sort of have a Crowley and Azriphale dynamic and 10 would make it his mission bring this shy gentleman out of his shell😊

Considering we have now seen Sherlock Holmes and Carnacki make an appearance, I think it’s about time we got Professor Challenger involved with the action. Preferably played by BRIAN BLESSED.

If anyone wants to scoop it up for a reappearance of GUS, go for it:

I'd love to see a return of the Don Warrington incarnation of Rassilon. He was perfect in that role.

Since we are getting all these cross-overs... I have fallen in love with Billis Manger. He should pop up more often. He is just lovely. And bada$$.

I'd love to see a return of the Don Warrington incarnation of Rassilon. He was perfect in that role. He is still trapped in the Divergent Universe (like most of us), so in theory he could escape and encounter the resurrected Rassilon in the Time War. So Gallifrey Time War 4 could have an episode called The Two Rassilons where they battle it out.
Don't think it'll happen though ...
