Well, we know from BF Day 7 the narration will be gone so that's a biggie. I'll be frank, Pertwee's era is one of my least faves so I like the "out there" stories like Find And Replace or Verdigris. I'd love to have more in that style.
However, I understand that the remit of this range for the first couple of years may be to be traditionalist as the 4DAs were with the "teatime in 1977" motif.

I thought the recast for Three was very good, and I really enjoyed the stories. It would be a shame for any Doctor to have his era unrepresented in new stories.

I think every doctor should have brand new adventures that way everyones favorite is there. Three is my favorite and its a shame his stories arent full cast yet. I think tim treloar is fine for recasting.

Definitely but I think keeping to one or two box sets per year would help keep the quality high. what I really want to hear is Delgado's master

Would you like to see one? and what would you like see from it? Yes, he's my favorite Doc and I definitely want more stories with him. I'd love to get John Levene back, so that we can have Benton. I realize that's extremely unlikely, but it is what I'd want. I'd also really like to get some season 7 or 11 stories, but I'm not sure that I'm ready for completely recast eras of the show. I mean, you could shoehorn Yates into a season 7 story and if Levene were back as Benton that could just about work with just needing another recast for Liz (Franklin could double as the Brigadier), but I kind of feel like at least 50% of the main cast needs to be "authentic" for these to work. It's why I'm ok with the Early Adventures doing recasts, but say if William Russell were to pass away I'm not sure that I'd be ok with an Early Adventure where the First Doctor, Ian, and Barbara were ALL recasts and only Carole Ann Ford and Maureen O'Brien were authentic.

Franklin's Brigadier isn't good, but you're right, we need to control the amount of recasting going on. Another trip to Peladon would be a possible, or an ice warrior story set on Mars - perhaps a follow-up to Inferno which establishes that that world and the age of steel world are the same place?

It's always struck me as odd. Pertwee is my least favorite Doctor but I adore that period of the show. The team of Letts & Dicks were as confident a duo as the show has ever seen and they knew a solid story when they saw one. That said, I supported the 3rd Doctor line by purchasing the box set and will continue to support by buying volume 2. Every era deserves to be represented. I feel like the line should go one of three ways. 1) Go all in on recasting cast members no longer with us to give us traditional Earth bound 3rd Doctor era stories or 2) Have the Doctor go off with Jo to do some exploring without any UNIT involvment or 3) Have the Doctor go off with any of his TV companions and find a new one his travels.

I still think Jeremy Fitzoliver could be retooled from the two BBC audio stories, and as far as I know Richard Pearce is still with us and still working so it could be done.

Wha...? It's kind of important that the Inferno project set off a chain reaction that destroyed that entire alternate Earth, hence the Doctor's guilt over it. While we didn't actually see the whole world get destroyed, it was pretty clear that England was destroyed by it, so I don't even see how it's possible for the Age of Steel to be the same world or why you would even want it to be.

I don't see any point with 1 or 3, since they're both the same thing with giving us 0% authenticity to the era. If we still had Jon with us, it'd be one thing. I'd have no problem with a season of Baker audios with a new companion, but a series with Treloar and a new companion would be the same as a completely recast season 7 at least IMHO. Besides, for "authentic Earth bound stories" you could still use Manning and Franklin. If they want to keep things "full cast" and keep from having Franklin double-up they could recast the Brig. That wouldn't be any different then the Early Adventures which have two recast characters and two authentic characters. It'd at least keep things at 50% authenticity. It'd be better if we could get Levene to contribute though. Otherwise they'll just have to always show up in situations where Benton is off doing something else. #2 would be possible, but I don't see any reason why they couldn't involve Franklin with that. We've now had an audio and a novel where the Doctor takes Jo and Mike off in the TARDIS and we already know that eventually those three have to arrive on Karfel (ok it may not be Mike but some new as yet unmet companion, but let's assume it's Mike since that's who we have to deal with) and I prefer more companions in the TARDIS. If they ever want to do one with just Manning and Treloar I wouldn't be against it though. In addition to the Timelash prequel, I just thought about one other thing that I'd like to see - I really want a six parter. Six parters were more common than four parters in the Pertwee era and when this was announced as a five CD set, I assumed it'd be one four parter and one six parter. I was kind of disappointed to find out that the fifth CD was just an extras disc and that bother stories were four parters. More third Doctor adventures can only be a good thing and I'd really like to have a longer story at least every now and then.

I wouldnt mind any of these options really. The Third Doctors adventures shouldnt stop because of the actors passing.

Ah... I forgot the world ended in inferno :-( We saw two great moral dilemmas in season 7. The world ending in inferno and the brig killing all the Silurians in Doctor Who and The Silurians.

Ah... I forgot the world ended in inferno :-( That parallel world is revisited in the Past Doctor Adventure novel The Face of the Enemy, which notably puts the Master in the Doctor's role (the Doctor and Jo are off on Peladon) and shows him working with UNIT along with Ian and Barbara.

Yes, a Vol 2 was confirmed - though no further details bar the narration being dropped. The footage was on Periscope but BF also tweetd it so we can take a Vol. 2 to the bank The narration is staying on The Early Adventures, I believe but it wasn't as controversial on those anyway

Another thing that I'd like to see - a true historical with the third Doctor. The books did it with Wages of Sin, but I'd love to have an audio historical in this era.

I thought Treloar was rather good and liked the set. Havoc especially. Felt like Curse of Peladon 2015.
