If you were The Head of Big Finish.

Hmmmm... this is a tough one as I don't have much creative talent, and Big Finish do seem to be doing reasonably well after 18 years as it is. Off the top of my head...

1) I'd make the main range the main range again for a start, maybe including a random Doctor (4th/8th/10th) in a special one-off story as the extra release at the end of the year, just to break up the 5,6,7 routine. (I might even make that release Christmas/Holiday themed as the extra release is now in December.)

2) Better choices of subscription and bundle models for the main range; i.e. you could suubscribe to a whole year of releases at a time (13), or pick any 6/12 stories from a retrospective sub/bundle, so you can skip Doctors or just fill in gaps.

3) Lossless download formats, FLAC/ALAC etc., so with a download you get exactly the quality of the CD. Plus digital booklets.

[Semi serious; but if you don't ask you don't get!]

4) Yeah, pester Christopher Eccleston, and maybe try and lure him in to Big Finish by the back door and cast him in something other than a Doctor Who audio!

5) Licence The Walking Dead audios from Mr Kirkman and cheaply rewrite all the Survivors scripts, swapping the flu virus for Zombies! (Nick Briggs really needs to add zombie voices to his CV after all!)

6) Get Jason Haigh-Ellery to sell his BMW and put the proceeds towards dropping the 'per order' charge for international customers.

I wouldn't do much else, as why have underlings if the boss is the one to come up with every idea!

1. The main range: I'd drop the trilogy format for a year. Have a story with a different doctor each month.

2. The fourth doctor: I'd add Adric and set a series in e space

3. The 8th doctor: I'd drop the box set format and release them singularly and have them 1 a month every month

4. The early adventures/3rd doctor/ companion chronicals: I'd have January a 3rd doctor box set, February/ 1st doctor cc March-June 1st doctor early adventures July 3rd doctor box set August 2nd doctor cc September-December 2nd doctor early adventures

5. The war doctor: more of the same. It's a range I'm pretty happy with

6. 10th doctor: try and get him in at least once a year if available

7. Galifrey: 2 box sets a year. I'd also Sort out the legal issues that prevent series 1-3 downloads

8. J and l. Pretty much more of the same. Don't fix what ain't broke. I'd price 2-10 seasons the same as season 1 as I feel those are very overpriced for older releases

9. Torchwood: carry on with the monthly releases and odd specials add burn Gorman into the mix

10. Survivors: more of the same.

11. Prisoner: 2 a year. Tom baker as number 2.

If I were head, I doubt it's have made it to 20years


once once a season, we'd get a box set of something Who, so four box sets a year. 
Id also be looking to see exactly how flexible a remit we had, what exactly was off the table. 
The Sarah Jane Chronicles perhaps. Or UNIT Chornicles. 
Reboot B7, but find roles for the old guard (Darrow as Ensor and therefore Orac for example).

There's not much I think I could say with confidence, but after listening to Circle of Friends, I'm quite certain I would try to get:

-> an 8th Doctor trilogy in the Main Range featuring Fitz and Anji <-

Matt Di Angelo was perfectly cast as Fitz, and should have another go at it.

It would also be great to have the 8th guest again in the MR, to bring fans of MR into the 8th and to bring fans of the 8th into the MR.

*The Company Of Friends you mean (excellent anthology either way) The Circle Of Friends sounds like The Doctor has pressganging his companions into having a garden party.

Maybe they could bring Di Angelo back for a short trip or two if they have no room in the schedules for a proper story?

I like Anji alot but Fitz and the 8th Doctor have a pretty unique relationship (I don't think the 8th Doctor has had any other human male companions?)  I haven't read all the EDA's yet but aren't there a couple of gaps in the range where Fitz and the Doctor are travelling alone? A MR trilogy with just the duo would give McGann a very different sort of companion to play around with, Fitz seems to be a very popular companion with those who know the books and those who don't he's brings out a very different side to the 8th Doctor.

Produce another 2CD length Strax special teaming up with a new (no hold barred) partner in crime - The War Doctor!

This idea has my backing, they would be a hillarious double act 

I heard an interview with Tom about 12 months ago where he said he went and had a discussion with Peter Jackson nearly 20 years ago about playing Saruman. He didn't want to spend two years in NZ though so he knocked it back. 

What might have been...
