What I'm asking is what would you all like to see/hear Big Finish do in regards to future stories with McCoy's Seventh Doctor.
Be it in certain story points you'd like them to address
Which companions you'd like to appear or not
What Novel Adapts you'd like them to do, if Big Finish decided to do more
If think it would be interesting to find out

The 7th Doctor VS the Silence simply needs to happen IMO.

I would like to see...
- Seven and Ace parting ways when she goes to Gallifrey
- Seven's final story, leading into the TV movie
- more travels with Chris & Roz, whether more Novel Adaptations or original stories
- more travels with Klein (plus some closure on the Will angle)
- a story (or even multiple stories/a boxset) about Seven's quest to capture The Eleven

Unlike a few others who feel she's been overused, I'm a huge Ace fun, although I do understand other people's feelings towards the character. I'd like to see another trilogy featuring her and the 7th Doctor set after Signs and Wonders, whether the upcoming Seven/Ace/Mel trilogy is set at this point I don't know. But I feel this could be a good swan song storyline for Ace as Mel may become a totally different character because of her having to survive in the universe alone and Mel convinces the Doctor to enroll Ace in the Academy to help her learn the proper ways of travelling through time
And space so that she doesn't become the damaged woman that Ace is.
Sorry I'm rambling, my fan mind is going into over drive.
I'm on the Seventh Doctor: The Last Adventure bandwagon too but I don't think this is very likely any time soon.

An opportunity to do a Dalek/Master/Time Lord story on a big scale would seem to be exactly the type of thing Nick Briggs would love to write. I'd like an Ace finale story. Some main range Benny travels would be nice too. |

A few more Raine Creevy stories to wrap up her storyline would be nice, as it seems like she's come & gone into the Doctors life a few times.
A leaving story for Ace, as much as i love her she needs a good send off story.
Also i really want to hear the final days of Sevens life, how did the Masters Tardis end up in the Valley of the Kings & how was he captured by the Daleks? So many possibilities with his final adventure.

Adaptation wise.... Return of the Missing Dad (cut the rogue UNIT woman storyline voila, something that should fit on two discs).

I thought a one-off where he meets Thomas Brewster might make a good story, ending with Brewster being shocked by the Doctor's behaviour instead of vice-versa.

I'm looking forward to the Seventh Doctor's last story whenever Big Finish has the right idea. I've always been interested in the way Seven is traveling along in the TARDIS at the beginning of the TV movie. When did he change the TARDIS interior? What happened to Ace? etc. Lots of little questions that could have an interesting story behind them.

Here's my problem with The Seventh Doctor Last Adventure / Ace departure idea: it's been done. Sure, not by Big Finish exactly (although they have answered a few of the questions folks are asking here, just not in One Big Box Set), but in novels and comics. I just never see the need to overwrite existing stuff when new things could be created instead.

I think a lot of where my desire for it really comes from is that I want to hear McCoy and Aldred perform it. |

More Raine, preferably in a story with no old, recurring or returning monsters, settings or other characters. In both the Seventh Doctor Lost Stories and UNIT: Dominion Raine was overshadowed, in the Lost Stories by Ace (this despite those four stories being marketed heavily around Raine as the new companion finally realised) and in UNIT: Dominion by everything else in general. We got more of Pete Wilson going on about how he was expecting a baby than anything interesting for Raine to do. There's a shoehorned in safe cracking sequence, but otherwise she's generic companion I've read something that suggested Raine was used because she was the only Seventh Doctor companion who was available and didn't have and story arc baggage that would interfere with the plot threads of UNIT: Dominion.
If we get a trilogy with just the Seventh Doctor and Raine, we could see what she can offer free of the limitations placed by previous expectations and other more important plot and character details. Let Beth Chalmers finally get to play a companion with material she can sink her teeth into, and show there's more to the classy safe cracker than the seven hours we've got shows.

I just never see the need to overwrite existing stuff when new things could be created instead. The problem is that material is out of print and isn't readily avaliable to those not in the know - and in the face of revival and a bigger audience, Big Finish wisely decided not to adhere to such contiunty and create the ongoing narrative that we have now. It's easy for us more devoted or in the know listeners to feel it's been done, but for others, it's a burning question waiting to be resolved and a nice lead in to Big Finish. |

I would like to see... - Seven and Ace parting ways when she goes to Gallifrey - Seven's final story, leading into the TV movie These would be brilliant for a special box set akin to The Sixth Doctor: The Last Adventure. |

The Sixth Doctor's final adventure had also been explored in books; it didn't stop Big Finish from telling their own version of events. |

I would like another trilogy for Klein and Will.
I know it is somewhat the norm nowadays on television to end a series on a cliffhanger with the hope or getting re-commissioned, but I'd rather Big Finish didn't follow that trend.
Plus as I only really know the Seventh Doctor as portrayed by Sylvester on TV or with Big Finish I would love a Last Adventure style release. If it is a seperate release outside of the monthly range people can easily ignore it if it does not fit their own head canon.

Honestly, I would be okay with the Seventh Doctor boxset if it stuck to the established continuity. Nothing has showed the Doctor taking Ace to Gallifrey (or how she stopped travelling with him after the Benny box sets). Nothing has showed the Doctor travelling to Skaro, or any adventure directly leading into Doctor Who: The Movie.
I just don't need a fourth or fifth explanation for the new console room (some of which BF itself has provided), or anything that denies that Ace has left the Doctor before (especially when Big Finish has already adapted one of those departures).
The Master's flashbacks in the Seventh Doctor chapter of The Eight Doctors already explained the deathworm (and showed him swallowing it directly before arriving on Skaro).
But I suppose you could have a boxset like this...
1. Final Ace departure story (after New Benny) where she never travels with the Doctor again.
2. Master story where the Master, in his new Gordon Tipple body, threatens the Doctor. At the end, the Master claims to have a plan and sets his coordinates for Skaro...
3. Gallifreyan story about the Eleven, including the flashback from Doom Coalition 1, guest starring Ace and Romana.
4. A Dalek story, set on Skaro.
..and avoid needless contradiction.

Yeah, that could be cool, especially if the Master story involved him betraying them (yet again). I figured out an analogy for my obsession with seeing things fit together all neat and such. It's like this - thingsfittingperfectlyintothings.tumblr.com - but with continuity. Just... Satisfying. |

There's a bit of a contradiction between what was said in The Eight Doctors concerning the Master's capture, and what was described in Mastermind. I seem to remember that in the former he basically hands himself over on Skaro right? In the latter he's cornered in the Valley of the Kings, where his TARDIS was eventually discovered, the subject of scorch marks from Dalek gunfire. It seems that he may have put up a fight in this version of events. I would love for Big Finish to give us the definitive version of events in a 7th Doctor story, which hopefully would involve Gordon Tipple in some capacity. |
