The final 5 Poldark novels - they are set a number of years after the first 7 that have been the subject of 2 BBC adaptations and the most recent adaptation is not going to go that far forward in time, so the rights may be available.
There is a Poldark Society so there may even be a market for them, distinct form the normal Dr Who fans.
As a fan of the original 1970s series I would love them to adapt them with Robin Ellis in the title role. Sadly Angharad Rees is no longer with us, but I think Louise Jameson would make an excellent Demelza

It was mentioned before but I also think that Outcasts would be ripe for adaption. From what I've read Ben Richards had the next phase of the production mapped out. I was really impressed by that series and felt it deserved a second season.
Dirk Gently has also been mentioned but in truth as much as I love it, I find it confusing enough on screen let alone on audio!
I know its not in the Big Finish mold exactly but you know what I would be very tempted to plonk down my dosh for? Man about the House or maybe even a modern interpretation: Woman about the House? I really loved that show as a teen, rather sweet on several levels and very funny.

Robin Mukherjee, who could've been on Season 27 with Alixion.

I confess I have never heard of these, but have just spent a few minutes looking them up on line and I can see there is plenty of scope for audio stories. Unfortunately I suspect that after the less than positive reviews and sales of the Wizard of Oz adaptation, Big Finish will not be too keen on doing more children’s stories. Unless they could pre sell it to BBC radio...? I have suggested in the past The Invisible Library book series as I think audio adventures of previously untold tales could compliment an on going series of novels. Perhaps they could test the waters with The Edge in a similar way. I have never been tempted by Wizard of Oz was it bad?Scott Handcock normally has a good vision? I wouldn’t say it was bad. More just had some odd creative choices in it. Giving everyone bar Dorothy English accents in what is essentially an American fairy tale for one thing. I do recall it also being rather slow in parts as well.

I would love a version of The House On The Strand-Daphne Du Maurier given it’s time travel elements I think would be a great addition to their catalogue and why not Rebecca?

Certainly one that's arguably easier to adapt for audio than visually, given the extent to which the narrator is not 'there' in the same time, but still in the actual place and what he sees may be interpreted as being in his minds eye as opposed to in front of his actual eyes, during his 'trips'. Doors of perception and all that, Man.

I occasionally (regularly) hassle them to do Crime Traveller with Chloe Annett but they, especially Nick, seem less than keen...

Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Or more particularly the planned BBC spinoff Ripper staring Anthony Stewart Head's Rupert Giles. It would be great to hear more from this world plus Big Finish has worked with actors who had major roles in the past: Juliet Landu and, James Marsters. Also, anyone who has watched the show can say for a fact more Giles would be great.

Definitely more of the whole cast...and preferably post the finale...I didn’t really enjoy the comic versions of course they would have to find a way to bring back Anya(mind you demon and all that 😉) and David can be forever young too on audio and Spike...then they might as well do an Angel when they are at it 😂 one for the dark shadows crew and the Matt/John humour aspects

A British spin-off of an American series, but being still set in that Buffy universe would allow so many potential guest stars, whilst still becoming a series in it’s own right. I assume the licence fee for it was just too much and/or Anthony Stewart doesn’t want to return to the role.

He has done big Finish before Excelsis-as has James and Amber Benson has done DS an was great in it and it’s always good to have back up lockdown plans for the future...we all need work to keep us sane

Having watched a lot of the first season of The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes recently I think it would be great to do some full cast audio adaptations of these characters & stories. BF have already done Carnacki but there are plenty of interesting characters. My favourites so far have been Dorrington the detective who also isn't afraid to take advantage of his clients if he can make some profit from it, the criminal mastermind Madame Sara & her arch rival detective Dixon Druce, Lady Molly of Scotland Yard, & the blind detective Max Carrados.

BBC radio have done two (I think) series of The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes Edit - I have just looked it up there was four series of four episodes, so 16 stories in total.

Cool, although none are available at present. Interesting that they decided to use the character of Lestrade to introduce the stories.

Personally, I think Blake and Mortimer would make for a good series for Big Finish to adapt. Be like a ‘50s equivalent of Jago and Litefoot.
