I'd like to hear more about Kate's and Osgood's families. Will we see an appearance by Kate's son from Downtime? Will Osgood's sister, mentioned in Day of the Doctor, cast a shadow over her? It'd help to flesh out both characters.

UNIT UK versus other UNITs (maybe even the Russian UNIT which is according to the books called OGRON) over the Zygon immigration, with the whole "the Doctor did it" not washing with certain parties.

A Torchwood infiltration of UNIT similar to SHIELD VS 'Real SHIELD' in Agents of SHIELD Season Two.

Quantity!
I'm not being flip. I just so enjoyed the quality and sheer entertainment value of the first boxset, that I really hope that UNIT develops into the longstanding series it deserves to be.

Neither did SHIELD in Agents of SHIELD Season Two. You could either have Jack or a new character lead people under a rebuilt Torchwood that still technically doesn't exist against UNIT because they don't trust them due to their employment of Zygons.

A time travel story flinging Klein forward to 2016 plus from the 90s. Because Tracy Childs is too good.

The BF Torchwood series has already established that Torchwood isn't rebuilt until 2016. Since the UNIT series is all set pre-Day of the Doctor, it wouldn't really work.

I'd like them to incorporate Ruth Matheson, Charlie Sato & Mike Yates into the stories more than anything.

I was interested to read, in the latest Vortex (Issue 122), that Matt Fitton is leaving his role as Script Editor, to be replaced by Andrew Smith after the upcoming Series 8 'Incursions'. With contributions Extinction, Shutdown and Encounters under his belt, as well as his stirling work elsewhere, I'd suggest he's an ideal choice. Unfortunately, it also mentions a delay... I wonder if stories will be firmly in the Twelfth Doctor, two Osgoods era (like the one from The Eighth of March) from now on?

This is quite counter to UNIT under Kate and Osgood, but I think I’d be interested in seeing a more militarized/militaristic UNIT. Not ‘the military is bad’ anti-hero UNIT, I just think it would be interesting to see an incarnation wherein they don’t screw around with alien threats; they’ve got an armoury and a fleet of tanks at their disposal, and they put them to use. I suppose for this to work in a way that doesn’t make UNIT look bad would probably require larger/planet-threatening villains.
This doesn’t have to be a forever/ongoing arrangement, I just think it would be a neat change of pace for a little while.
Alternatively (or perhaps in tandem), an anthology approach might be nice. A boxset set in the 70s followed by a set in the 2010s, a Chaudhry set, one in the 80s, maybe one in the future. Just to shake things up.

I for some reason called them Stewart's Brigade

I've got this image of UNIT putting tanks on the Moon because someone's come down to set up an interplanetary artillery post and doesn't give a toss about the consequences.

Now BF have cast Jon Culshaw as the Brig., I'd love an unashamed fan-pleaser where a timey-wimey event takes him from his active service days in the 70s (TV broadcast date I mean, don't let's go there!) and lands him in the middle of a modern-day UNIT operation just as things are going pear-shaped and with Sam and Shindi both incapacitated/missing, Josh needs some senior officer guidance right now.
Kate and her dad both learn a lot from their shared experience in the field and emerge victorious thanks to their combined skills - science, diplomacy and large explosions - and when the action lets up it's hankies all round of course before he fades back to his proper timestream...
(I can dream, can't I? )
