It does make me wonder if all these Harry and Naomi stories will lead into a spin off for the pair.

UNIT 90s era UNIT 00s Era UNIT New Series Era

You know it kinda baffles me why they won’t bring back the next Doctor Given that jago and litefoot has ended and the paternoster gang is in limbo And given that every 10th Doctor companion has had a spin off or appearance not to mention how much BF has mined the RTD era for content

Maybe David Morrissey didn't want to do it. & by the end of the story he is reunited with his son so not sure if he would embark on any more adventures.

Morrissey has gone on record that he would return to DW They could honestly give the character a new arc and a direction Honestly judging from Nicks comment, reaction and the lack of context he is the major factor preventing it

I've zero idea if he would have interest in audios or what indeed his story would be. I'm sure a one-off with the Paternosters would be fun but Jackson Lake was a human with no Timelord intelligence, knowledge or tech. I'm not sure what the show would even be there. Especially with people saying they're cutting BF purchases back because of price rises and the state of the worldwide economy, it doesn't seem a very smart gambit anyway. Honestly the character was a one story wonder. If he wasn't played by a very popular actor I doubt anyone would be clamouring for a return.

Well story wise he does still posses facts and information of the Doctor from the cybermen/ Dalek info stamps, they could still have him enlisted by Torchwood or have him judging being a father and dealing with the alien supernatural similar to jago and litefoot I don’t see why they couldn’t have him make a one off Boxset or even have him guest starring in another range besides having Morrissey being a very popular actor is a big bonus for big finish as they need more actors that have name recognition to bring more customers

I bet if you even ask the casual TV viewer what show he did with Tennant they would think of Blackpool before a one off Doctor Who. Name recognition is a plus but character recognition more so. Michael Palin is one of the best known people in the UK to generations but he didn't come in and have the Torchwood he was in selling in massive numbers. We know from Nick even releases with Tom and Tennant, the two iconic Doctors of the classic and "new" eras, still operate in fine margins. And as we've seen all week, even BF's diehard fans are looking to cut their spending down to the core, not increase it with rather tenuous spinoffs. And this is all presuming Morrissey would want to do it - he was doing press rounds a decade back talking about the TV show. A rather different proposition to audio in 3033

To be honest, the only person I’ve ever seen clamour for a return of Jackson Lake or explain how they think it could work is you, theillusiveman. I’m not sure the potential, let alone the market, is really there, particularly with what will likely see a heavier focus on Doctor material with price increases and the like.

I can't see him wanting to go on more risky life threatening adventures.

Just to defend the poster in question, I would also like a Jackson Lake spin-off set. If Lady Christina can get one, I'm not sure why Jackson Lake is seen as too ridiculous a concept.
I can easily picture Jackson Lake being inspired by his encounter with the 'real' Doctor, and the memories he got from the Infostamp, and deciding to save the people of Victorian London in the Doctor's name.

Tbf you could just pick it up 15 years on from The Next Doctor or so and his son has grown up and is doing his own thing. Then Jackson gets pulled back into the adventuring life.

Yeah, you could either have him inspired by his time with the Doctor, or make him a reluctant Alan Grant-style adventurer, who is drawn back in by extreme circumstances despite his previous bad experiences.

“ Nick considers Stephen Noonan one the bravest Actors for taking on the role of the 1st Doctor”
I wonder if Nick thought that about David Bradley, John Guilor, William Russel, Peter Purves and Richard Hurndall too
But In all seriousness Noonan is a good guy And is doing his best job especially with researching
