I want to know how the Time War affected Romana, Brax and Narvin, how Leela ended up in that situation, how affected Susan: did she left Earth? , what happened to the Rani (if the Time Lords recussitated the Master to fight would they also bring in the Rani for her scientific knowledge? Maybe have her devise weapons against the Daleks. And what about the Eleven? Is he still alive when the war starts? Hopefully we will get a "Gallifrey : Dawn of War" series. I am sure that Big Finish have indicated that the next Gallifrey series will be heading towards, if not into the Time War. As for the Eleven, even if he has been put back into prison I could see the Time Lords being desperate and delusional enough to release all their prisoners with the notation that they would fight against the Daleks. Perhaps they even find Shada...

Something that always comes to my mind when I think of Time War potential is quite basic really. I'd have loved a War Doctor set where it's just him crash landing the TARDIS (as a result of some high concept shenanigans) where he's forced to team up with a small ragtag group of misfits in a ship that are serving both sides of the Time War for profit.
Doctor Who meets Firefly basically.

But a team of renegades led by an infamous Time Lord like the Rani or the War Chief could be a lot of fun. I've batted the idea around in my head before - considered it as a potential arc for the Eleventh (post-DOTD) or Twelfth Doctor, dealing with the fallout after the Time War, with flashbacks to the team's recruitment (and an appearance by Paul McGann).

Would that work? Surely the War Chief would already be Yana at that point

The Doctor of PortentFollowing his actions at the end of The Enigma Dimension and the following adventure (that would be narrated later in flashback) Cardinal Ollistra decides that the War Doctor has become too loose a canon and decides that they maybe better off with the Doctor's next incarnation. The Timelords have already created a process where they can extract a potential future incarnation of a Timelord whilst the current version is unharmed - someone who could be sent on suicidal missions or allow a Timelord to be in two places at the same time. Ollistra herself may have had this done in the past. These new incarnations are called Portents (potential regenerations), unlike the source Timelord they do not have the ability to regenerate. They are one and done! Although the council are happy for the Doctor to be forced to regenerate in the usual way Ollistra opts to incarcerate the War Doctor after extracting his Portent. This new Doctor simply believes he has regenerated and continues the war effort. It is only later that they work out what has happened and releases their true self - the War Doctor. The Doctor of Portent dies in the process. Sorry to quote myself, but a question... Could Richard E Grant’s Doctor be such a Doctor of Portent in the Time War. I have never watched Scream of the Shalka, but as Derek Jacobi is the Master in it would that work? And if it did work would the BBC be more receptive to such as idea as it wouldn’t be a new version of the Doctor?

Iris Wildthyme and the Gin War.
She made it through the Tim War, but there’s a much darker day coming...

I wonder if Nardole has any shady dealings during the conflict.
We've had the War Doctor, War Master how about The War Zarbi?

I'd like to see the War Truth Monks. Could they have altered any realities during the Time War like they did in The Lie Of The Land?

I want a War Koquillion. Or maybe a War Bandril Ambassador. I also want to find out that the Galaxy Accident that rendered the Refusians invisible and the Gigantic Explosion in which the Chameleons lost their identities were due to the Timey Wimey War.

I'd like to see him transported to the heart of a supernova and killed instantly. The story can then get on with decent characters. Each to their own. I think Grant/The Ghost is a great character and I think an exploration of what it means to be a superhero would be interesting, if perhaps bearing the danger of veering too close to the War Doctor's character arc. I'm imagining a dramatic moment in my head where The Ghost removes his superhero costume in the middle of the battlefield and becomes Grant only, signifying that he is just a normal person stuck in the middle of a devastating war. Not even a superhero can save the Time Lords. Of course, this would be difficult to show on audio but I believe with a good performance by Justin Chatwin the tragedy behind The Ghost being insignificant in the context of the Time War could be conveyed to the audience if written well. I liked Grant too (and I loved The Return of Doctor Mysterio, ), but I'd rather see him within his own space then the Time War.

With The Weeping Angels, I think somethings are better left in mystery.

A Big Finish box set of Grant stories with cheesy comic book sound effects similar to the ones heard in the Adam West Batman would be fun.

I don't have mixed feelings about it, I just wish we could all forget Shalka and pretend it was something we collectively dreamt! The setup had potential. I love The Doctor/Master dynamic and Alision had a lot of potential as a character - to see where time and space would take her is an intriguing prospect, even if it's something RTD wouldn't have agreed with and challenged in his own series, the Shalka were wonderful monsters and the animation was very nicely done. While the RTD relaunch has successful secured the legacy of the show, something Shalka NEVER would have done. I'm not blind to it's faults - Richard E. Grant phoning it in and many of the jokes don't land and I don't think many kids engaged with Alison and Joe's relationship drama. (Would the Calpadi era have done better if they had brought in another companion who younger fans could identify with?) I'm just intrigued to what might have been and I'd love to see what Big Finish or more realistically Titan could do with the setup and run with it. Now, Death Comes to Time, I'd like wiped from my memory completely. DID DAN FREEMAN EVEN WATCH AN EPISODE OF DOCTOR WHO? WHY DOESN'T THE DOCTOR ACT LIKE THE DOCTOR? THEY GAVE THE DOCTOR SUPER POWERS?

I actually liked Death Come to Time, apart from the ending. I thought it wasn't a bad take on Doctor Who. (An Unbound before the Unbounds.) Although by the time it was finished Big Finish were already setting the standards of audio Doctor Who at such a high level once you got past the gimmicky webcast bit there wasn't enough in DCTT to excite the fans that much. If treated as a Seventh Doctor Unbound story Death Comes to Time is not actually that bad.
