I know they've hinted at another set of Third Doctor Adventures, but outside of the Short Trips, have any definite plans been set forth for The Third Doctor?

I'm sure that the 3DAs Volume 2 is 100% definite just not up for pre-order yet (or for a wee while)

I wish they would hurry up. I thought the first set was wonderful.

Another title 100% green-lit, but not ready for pre-order is Dark Shadows: Bloodline. That's coming out in August, so I'd put the second volume of Third Doctor Adventures. At least the recasting with Tim Treloar has gone down well. The most controversial aspect of that first volume was the narration!

If there is another Third Doctor set, hopefully they'll drop the terrible narration and have it purely a full cast audio drama.

Yeah no narration. It didn't gel at first but I don't think it was dreadful as some found it. I found it was ok once you got used to it but However it still felt kind of unnecessary.

We know from the BF Day panel that the narration is going so it's a moot point now.

It makes me horribly depressed to see so many people dislike the narration. It was great! And allows for things that dropping it just doesn't, like the eyebrows scene, or having the Brig involved in the story. I guess you just can't please everyone

But, that aside, when are we going to get a Third Doctor announcement? The "actually, we haven't announced that yet" from Briggs at the semi-recent con when Katy was about to say something about the next set tells us that it's well under way...

I bet it's tied in to talks with John Levene. At Chicago TARDIS Jason Haigh-Ellery said they were currently in talks with Levene who was at the con, so this makes sense. I do really hope that they get him to do it as Earth bound stories aren't the same without Benton.

And allows for things that dropping it just doesn't, like the eyebrows scene, or having the Brig involved in the story. I guess you just can't please everyone Ask why though was it on this release that people had an issue with the narration It's on LOADS of BF product without comment never mind controversy. This range in particular was the one fans spoke out against having the narration and even then only after the release. I love narration when it's used well. Almost all the CCs, the Early Adventures and in particular Dorian Gray but the 3DA set only had it - and Nick has even said this in Vortex - because BF thought it would ease some fans into range who were weary of the recast of The Doctor. Now that's done and Treolar was a hit, it would be a massive shame not to just let him play the role instead of this "Well, you can pretend he's the narrator reading Pertwee's line" nonsense BF were flirting with. Treloar deserves it. As I said earlier, it's done and dusted anyway and the narration seems to be history.

I love the narration in Dorian Gray & the CC's because they are stories essentially told in first person. It's someone relating their story to you.
The narration in the Early Adventures & first 3 Doctor's Lost Stories is fine. Can't say I am a fan as I am in the above narration but it doesn't really bother or distract me either.
My issue with the 3rd Doctor narration is at times it actually told you what a character was going to do before they did it. It's been awhile since I listened so I can't remember specific examples but I did fine it distracting at times. At other moments it was find and like the EA's and Lost Stories. But I think the main issue was definitely how the narration was written at certain points in the story.

A recast Brigadier perhaps? or even ... Recast Delgado Master?

I think it's still too soon for the Brigadier to be recast but the Degaldo Master is a possibility and would allow them a lot of interesting options in terms of using that incarnation - imagine the 5th Doctor meeting that incarnation or the 10th.

I'd rather not. I don't see much purpose in putting the master out of order with the Doctor.
