Maybe formally announce the 3DAs Vol 6 - I think we heard it was being recorded? *waves credit card encouragingly*
I do hope for a Missy 2 announcement, the timing seems about right.

*Crosses fingers for Missy 2 and Class 3*
We still don’t know anything about the Torchwood monthly release in January, so that might be one of them.

Out of left field... but maybe we are also getting news about the next installment of the BF companion book?

With the ridiculously named #OcTomBaker going on at the moment, I reckon we'll probably get at least one Fourth Doctor announcement (maybe a new Philip Hinchcliffe Presents? It's almost certainly too soon for another Comic Strip Adaptations).
As for other things, I'm in the group expecting maybe another Class announcement (what with an actor's CV recently listing him as part of Volume 3). I'll also go with the further Dracula releases too. Another new IP isn't beyond the realms of possibility either, especially since Helen Goldwyn's been directing a new one quite recently.
It think we can probably rule out the sixth volume of Third Doctor Adventures for the time being as that's not supposed to record until next month (and they don't usually announce things before recording). I'd also imagine a second volume of Missy would be a very fast turnaround (although if they do do a second one I'd love for Rufus Hound to show up as the Monk again!).
I anticipate there'll be a few more detail confirmations rather than new releases too - Paternoster Gang: Heritage 3, The Diary of River Song: Series 7, Blake's 7: Restoration - Part 2, and The Prisoner: Volume 3 are all coming up soon-ish to imminently, so I'd imagine we'll learn more about those. Maybe some early teasers for The Eighth Doctor - The Time War: Series 4. Perhaps we'll even finally learn what the planned shake-up for the Main Range is, along with further details on Blood on Santa's Claw and Dark Universe (and maybe March's release too). Oh, and maybe the cast and cover for Adam Adamant Lives!. There's been nothing said about it since it's original announcement, which is odd for BF. Usually when they get a new IP they won't stop talking about it until at least a month after release (see The Prisoner and Space: 1999)...

No biggie..just confirmation of what Jason's due diligence and possible restructuring of the ranges will be and an end to all the speculation.

Currently on Twitter BF are asking what people think about the idea of a Clara Spin off
At the moment its about a 50/50 split.
EDIT
They've upped the stakes and asked for the Clara fandom
For me Clara Splinters with classic Docs would be good

I wholeheartedly agree with people saying no to a Clara spin-off. Absolutely the worst companion ever in my opinion so no, never. No way, not in a million years. I have nothing against Jenna Coleman and she seemed nice when I met her last July but I'll pass.

Haha, I would be all for a Clara spinoff. I liked her! However, my sister, who so far only has liked the 11th Doctor stories, because I more or less forced her, also hates Clara. When I talked to my sister if she liked the episodes I have given her, she said, she loves Amy and Rory, but that annoying teacher woman... I laughed and said to her "Welcome to the fandom!"

Given the current "Octombaker" event, I'd be surprised if Tom wasn't involved in at least one of the things being announced.

I can't say I'm interested in a Clara spinoff, be it with classic doctors, or in her flying diner. If they wanted to bring her in as a guest in a pre-existing range, go for it. But I want to play armchair analyst and question the wisdom of launching yet another spinoff when apparently they overreached and want to consolidate ranges.
I would like the announcement to be what that consolidation will look like, and I also want to know what the final decision on the overseas pricing will be. Both of those things will affect my buying habits more than cover reveals.

I’d rather not have a Clara spin off. Believe it or not but you can have too many spin offs and to be perfectly honestly not all of them justify their existence. Considering I doubt they would be able to get Maisie Williams as well at least in a main role I don’t really see the point. At least in my opinion.
I wouldn’t on the other hand mind if she, as someone suggested here, through one of her splinters appeared as a guest star alongside a Classic Doctor or River Song.

Thought: might a Classic Doctors: Time War set work? Related to their role in Day; maybe people trying to interfere in his timeline or Time War stoiries without the Doctor knowing it?

Thought: might a Classic Doctors: Time War set work? Related to their role in Day; maybe people trying to interfere in his timeline or Time War stoiries without the Doctor knowing it? I’d almost suggest not bothering with a boxset but rather have the effects of the Time War reverberate back and be felt in some of his earlier incarnations. Some of the more recent Companion Chronicles and a Novel adaptation touched on this idea but they haven’t (to the best of my knowledge) done anything else with it. It might seem like fanservice but it would actually be justified and make narrative sense. Despite how Big Finish seems to portray it, this is a war fought across the entirety of time and space.

In Moffat's wonderful novelisation of Day, we get a massively expanded version of what the classic Docs were up to when they arrived and it's glorious. Basically Doctor Who goes Thunderbirds' International Rescue. The effects of moving the planet are causing floods and disasters and The Doctors are on hand to literally turn the tide.
