City of the Damned would be a great choice in my view. I'd also like to see some of the Titan Comics adapted with the 10th, 11th and 12th Doctors. The Weeping Angels of Mom would be interesting on audio. As for 11DA, the comic story where his comics companion Alice finds herself in the Time War and meets both the War Doctor and the Master, who are travelling with a younger version of another 11DA companion called the Squire, would be both a great and easy one for them to adapt given that John Hurt is already onboard with Big Finish anyway. The Fourth Wall would probably be my clip for the 12th Doctor Titan Comics.

The Fourth Wall would probably be my clip for the 12th Doctor Titan Comics. Titan comic adaptions probably wouldn't happen for quite a while if BF were even interested, as Titan comics are still being published and are ongoing the licensing and continuity issues would probably be prohibitively hard to negotiate, DWM and to a lesser extent Radio Times comic adaptions have the attraction of nostalgia for older customers, lots of time has passed since they written and they might have amassed a larger potential pool of listeners over time than Titan comics have, Titan comics are aimed at New Who fans who tend to be younger, whilst BF has arguably aimed more at older Classic fans until recent years, younger Who fans might not be so inclined (or able to afford) an adaptation of a story they've already read. With so few 10-11th Dr audio stories I'd personally prefer that BF focus on creating new stories rather than adapting old ones (though I'd hope they'd make an effort to stay in continuity with the comics and books) as so many of these stories are still relatively new and easy to access (in contrast to the Virgin novels), though give it a decade and I might feel differently...

I can see that point, I just think it would be cool to hear David Tennant speak comic book 10th Doctor lines.

Most of them take place in the specials year I think?

I think it would be cool if the Titan comics were adapted in ten or twenty years, but it is way to soon to adapt them now. If nothing else, they may hurt Titan's sales if people can listen to performed versions instead.

Perhaps a little more carefree and less trying to avoid his fate (or 'delay', as Ood Sigma would say) than he was during the later Specials, but I think that's because they take place sometime between Planet of the Dead and The Water of Mars.

6th Doctor and Frobisher comics adapted by Rob Shearman. (Bets all his chips and prepare's to lose horribly ) That was my first thought (my second being one of the Tom Baker ones...The Iron Legion seems to be popular, my 3rd thought being The Glorious Dead as there was a report on G.B last year that Daphne Ashbrook let slip at a con the TV Movie rights issues were being sorted out). And thanks for mentioning chips, now I'm hungry...

I'm guessing the First Doctor with John and Gillian.

I'm guessing the First Doctor with John and Gillian. I think it's more likely they'd introduce John and Gillian with new stories rather than adapting the comics. The comics are too childish to work for Big Finish audios.

The comics are too childish to work for Big Finish audios. They'd probably need a bit of work character-wise as well. This is an era that has the Second Doctor shouting -- "DIE, HIDEOUS MONSTER! DIE!" while blasting it to pieces with a gun. There are some really good story ideas that could be used to weave completely new tales though like Time in Reverse (a story told from end to beginning) and Challenge of the Piper (a challenge of science vs. magic).

I think it depends on the sales - if this release does well, then we definitely might see much more. All I can say is if it involves Frobisher, Big Finish has got my money... Well, okay, they had it anyways, but I gotta pretend like I'm financial responsible here.
