What I'm asking is what would you all like to see/hear Big Finish do in regards to future stories with Baker's Sixth 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

A Frobisher return would be insta-buy. And the only two things I've ever bought from BF on release were The Last Adventures and the upcoming Tenth Doctor releases (out of curiosity more than anything). A Peri and Frobisher box set would be heaven!
Aside from the big penguin, I'd mostly just like more with the two main companions of his era. A few more Peri stories set between the Lost Stories and The Mysterious Planet to accompany ...ish, Whispers of Terror, The Space Race and the anthology stories. Likewise a Mel trilogy would be nice.
Actually thinking about it, we haven't had too long with the Sixth Doctor on his own. Would be interesting to have a trilogy of stories to see how he handles himself with a more extended period on his own.

I'd like a Sixth Doctor VS Commander Maxil story called Doppelgangers. That would be fun.

More of Constance will be appreciated. And I thought Frobisher was absurdly hilarious, so I'd be very receptive to more of him as well.
I don't want to see any more of the Valeyard. Not because I have anything against the character or storylines, but because I think that between Trial of a Time Lord, Trial of the Valeyard, and The Last Adventure, the storyline has run its course. Similarly, I'm not really interested in seeing Sixie revisit Jago & Litefoot. I feel like that story has been played out as well.

Perhaps Old Sixie could encounter the real Jamie? Might be a bit contrived story-wise but the Colin/Frazer dynamic is such a joy!
I'd also love to see him go it alone in a really spooky story - sounds like Vampire of the Mind might fit that sinister bill.

I love Constance, but I really, really do miss Flip and hope we'll see some adventures with her and Peri in 2017 (although more then understandable, Lisa Greenwood is a busy actress).
I'd be VERY suprised if that Robert Sheraman release doesn't involve Froshiber in some way.

I want more of a comic book character I'm sure we're all very familiar with.
Actis!
Just kidding - it's obviously Frobisher. But, while I'm thinking about it, I think it might be a great idea to have an entire box set dedicated to comic book adaptations or stories SET during their comic book continuity for the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Doctors. I'm not sure if that's a particularly plausible idea, but it sounds fun to me!
Other than that, I'm all in favor for more stories with Flip!

More Frobisher would be excellent.

I'd personally like to see more of Six and Peri. They're a favorite TARDIS team of mine and while there are several releases with them together, I'm always up for more.

It feels like Big Finish don't have so much of a plan with the Sixth Doctor as they once did. His regeneration has been done, most loose ends (except for Constance, post-Mindwarp Peri and Real Time, but that last one hasn't a hope of being followed up) have been tied up. That might be the downside to the approach taken with the Sixth Doctor in the past five or so years. Evelyn is sadly off the table, Charley's time with him has been told, the Jamie trilogy can't have another story in that space.
However there is a hint of a background arc for Constance regarding her husband. There is also Peri's storyline after the Rani Elite, and Big Finish are no longer constrained by TV continuity in what they can do with her for this storyline at least.
I'd like to hear the novel Millennial Rites adapted.

What I found most exciting about the Widow's Assassin -> Rani Elite trilogy was it didn't have to fit between TV stories and it wasn't a given that Peri would be safe and sound. Loved seeing her more mature character flourish alongside Sixie too.

As with most I'm a long way behind with Colin but so far he's my favourite audio Doctor. He and Peri still work well together so more of them.

Loved seeing her more mature character flourish alongside Sixie too. It's like how Susan has been allowed to develop in her appearances in the Eighth Doctor audios, having passed the point where the TV show left her. A great thing about that Peri trilogy was how the writers acknowledged that she had changed and incorporated that into the narrative. Rani Elite had Peri musing on the choices she could have made regarding her later education, the university setting making her think about that. Something I noted about the audios with Nyssa after she rejoined the Doctor in Cobwebs was that the writers sometimes forgot that she'd spent decades away from the TARDIS and had her own life in that period. It'll be interesting if the upcoming Seventh Doctor, Ace and Mel trilogy will feature a post-Dragonfire Mel, and how that gap for the character influences how she is written.

Very much looking forward to the story details for these to be released. Feels like the main range is really on top form this year.

It feels strange, now we have The Last Adventure I don't have any thoughts regarding what's next. Before that I had all sorts of weird and wonderful notations!

He's gone from one of the most underdeveloped television Doctors to the one who has the most notable character development outside of the NA!Seventh and Big Finish!Eighth Doctors. I'd love to see some Frobisher stories, a continuation of post-Trial Peri's story and some more Constance. I'd even like some more Mel, but it's difficult to speculate with his character being so complete nowadays.

More Frobisher, I'd also be interested in a male companion for Sixy...

I am hoping to see more of Sixie and the Rani, it just seems odd that it's always going to be a future incarnation. Apart from that, i would also really like to see the 6th Doctor and the 11th Doctor meet one day, i'm sure the conversations about sartorial elegance would be entertaining

A trilogy with Frobisher - obviously!
Finish off the adventures of Sixy and Old Peri (seriously, what happened with that!?)
They could give a proper resolution to the adventures of Old Sixy and Flip.
- And related to all of the above, stop juggling companions for the Sixth Doctor. Give him a companion, and stick with them!

Five/Gus, Six/Peri/Frobisher, Seven/Frobisher-or-Benny and Eight/Izzy-or-Destrii. Maybe one of the four stories could introduce Fey as well, or involve Shayde.
