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

I'm sorry, I tried to resist the misprint, but -
Ahem.
The problem with the Forth Doctor is that his scarf is so long, that by the time you've knitted all the way to the end it's time to go back to the start to beginning patching it up...

The 4th Doctor meeting the War Doctor inbetween the events of Genesis of the Daleks would be great. Have something unexpected happen where the 4th Doctor is displaced from the time just as he says 'Do I have the right?' and appear in the Time War.

To be honest, I'm kind of burning out on Tom Baker.
But that said, I'd still buy a Four/Ten team-up without hesitation.

I don't know, really - I'm enjoying what we've been given so much, that I really don't know! I can't even complain about the lack of Leela this year - she's going to be right there in The Genesis of Chamber! And we have a new companion on the horizon......

I'm not sure if a Fourth and Tenth Doctor release would really work. The problem is that for the most part - Four is very much an larger-then life adventure character and Ten is a bit more developed. Other Doctors are significantly less large and developed enough for such an encounter to work.
It's a clash of styles in the worst way and I don't think it would work particularly well for either incarnation, outside of maybe a quick cameo or an encounter with Four during Season 18 which is incredibly unlikely.

Really, I'm a long way behind with Tom (only heard two of the novel adaptations and from the 4DA just The Auntie Matter). I guess as the Williams fan I am I'd just say "More Lalla".

I am very happy with audio stories with Leela and Romana II, however it is a shame that we can not have more stories with companions who's actors are no longer with us.
Although it is possible to have a reverse Companion Chronicle style release where the Doctor narrates an adventure he had in the past, I don't think that would be very fair on Tom or the best use of his time in the studio.
I would certainly be up for a Romana tale remembered by her later incarnation like they did with Luna Romana, but how about Tales from Tardis as told by the Tardis herself!?
I don't know if Suranne Jones from The Doctor's Wife would be available, but having the Tardis (the Doctor's longest serving companion) narrate the story would get around the problem of companions no longer available for Companion Chronicles.

This is what I want! It's really out there, and has no chance of happening, but if I had the wish, and could make it happen here is what would be.
Story 1-An infection gets inside the Tardis memory circuits, it suddenly dematerializes and combines with the 3rd doctors tardis console(just after Inferno), after some witty banter between 3 and 4, they have to find the cause of the taris' problem. A sub story with a diabolical villain, Unit, and companions would be in here, that has nothing to do with the tardis. After defeating the villain, 3 tries to reverse the polarity of the circuit, causing it to do even more damage. Story 1 ends with 4 vanishing, and 3 realizing that he was set up to fail, and figuring out that someone infected the tardis, and used him to help ensure the depth of the infection.
Story 2- The tardis shows up on earth, and the plot thickens, this time the overall villain of the series uses Donna Noble, to sink 4 even further into his trap, hoping to trap the doctor and all his regenerations in a loop of time, forever. 10 shows up, and being clever really screws up the situation even further, the doctor/donna figures out exactly what is happening, but is cut off by 10 before she can rectify the situation.
Story 3- On Galifrey, 4 encounters his grand-daughter, and implants a subconscious thought in her mind to get her and her grandfather off the planet. A plan is hatched to steal a tardis and take off into ? . 1 is totally against it, believe by now that his 4th body has already lost his mind, but soon realizes that the plan set in motion is to destroy the entire dimension, wiping it from all existence, he has little choice, but to go along.
Story 4- Lucy Miller is wandering around the tardis, and now she's with 4? The infection is spreading, and everything in the universe is starting to break down, the first wall has fallen, and there may be no fixing it, 8 shows up, telling 4 the most important thing they can do is slow down the infection, by shutting down the tardis totally. Never knowing that this was the CIA's plan all along. To wipe out this entire dimention of time. The story ends with everything vanishing.
MID SEASON BREAK. Thank goodness we don't have this on audio.

The doctor fights back.
Story 5- 7 and Ace are having a vacation, 7 is vanishing, but, he has prepared Ace for this situation, she rushes to the tardis, and saves the doctor? 4 that is. somehow the two have switched places, just as the entire universe was destroyed. This is a parallel universe, very similar to 4's own, and the event that destroyed his dimension, is bleeding over. How does the doctor start to repair what has been wrought? He must plan, and who is a better gamesman than his 7th incarnation.
Story 6- 4 must get some major help, even if that help doesn't want to cooperate. So he seeks out the Celestial toymaker, with the help of his 2nd incarnation. Challenges and defeats the toymaker, the toymaker keeps his word, sort of, and gives the doctor the item he needs to go back to the beginning of the infection, and find out who has destroyed everything.
Story 7- 4 is hot on the trail of the person responsible, when 5 shows up with a dire warning. informing 4 that a dimensional reboot is possible, but the power required would cost another dimension it's existence, yet leaves the door open, and a dimensional IP address, as he has already found one. Would the doctor destroy another dimention, just to save his own?
Story 8- On a far distant planet, 6 is trying to avoid his future, knowing the valeyard is waiting. Knowing that he is capable of such evil, he can't face his ultimate fate. 4 shows up, trying to reboot the dimension. Quickly realizing that the valeyard has gained control of the CIA, 6 works out his plan. 4 must not reboot, for the valeyard is waiting for that, to reboot also, and create a new dimension, thus, 6 switches the circuits and puts in a dead circuit, waiting to capture all the energy needed to restart the tardis, and jump start the universe. 6 played the valeyard, and after some smacking around by 4, realizes he can't wait for the future, he must embrace it, in order to change it.
Aftermath- A valeyard's tale. The entire series, replayed through the valeyard's eyes. Going thru his plan for dimensional conquest. While looking like he was defeated in the end, showing that his entire plan was just to get 6 back in the game, to ensure his own future, and his soon to be complete control of all of time and space.
That's my wish. NOW MAKE IT HAPPEN BF!

I seem to be in a 'pairing up' mood today, but one thing i would love to see is Baker and Hurt in a story together.

I've yet to see or hear any of Adric's stories, but I know of the character by the reputation he has in the fanbase...it certainly speaks wonders about BF's writing talent when people are clamouring for such a divisive character to return I quite like the idea of the larger than life 4th Doctor taking a younger male companion under his wing and acting as a teacher or father figure of sorts, there's very few male companions as it is, and since BF are creating a new companion for 4 anyway it could be a interesting dynamic to explore even if we don't hear more of Adric again...

Matthew's schedule when he's in the UK might just not permit it, if last month's podcast discussing the future of the range is anything to go by (with a new companion revealed for the 2019 series). Who knows? Maybe we'll see Adric return in a special box release, perhaps set before Logopolis that ties into the events of that tale in some way?

I always have, I wanted to be him when I was eight. And Matthew's performances in the Dark Shadows range are very popular so part of any clamour is down to that.
