But everything gets that these day. It's a stock / warehouse / distribution thing. If The Diary of River Song got a Volume 2 then why shouldn't The Lives of Captain Jack? The best way to support a second volume of The Lives of Captain Jack is to buy the first volume.

I've always assume that there was no immediate switch of Captain Jack becoming the Face of Boe but rather an e-x-t-r-e-m-l-y s-l-o-w process of evolution over millennia. That's quite a few gaps in time to fill.

I - genuinely - don't understand. Which actual gaps do you mean?
But I assume you mean you do want Face of Boe audios.
There's a gap between The End of the World and New Earth. Then New Earth and Gridlock. Is there any reason to think it's a productive gap? As opposed to just the passage of time?

There's things that haven't been explained about Jack as the Face of Boe, like how he can die in Gridlock and how he even became a giant head in a jar.

I really don't think Face of Boe audios would work IMO. Apart from the last few moments of Gridlock he doesn't do anything, like anything at all. What would the stories even be about?

Could an admin possibly move all this discussion to a separate thread for Jack 2 ideas?

An Agatha Christie type mystery to find out who peed in his tank whilst he was meditating. CD1 would be a full hour of him just meditating, ending on a cliffhanger of that familiar trickling sound with an stifled evil laugh.

Narrated by the Face of Boe?? Yeah, by Boe I honestly can't see that working purely due to the slowness of his voice. I think there are all sorts of possibilities pre Face of Boe though and I'd like to see Boe-kind in Tales of New Earth.

I can see that point, but I don't mean an entire audio with the Face of Boe as the main character but the Face of Boe merely framing both parts of the story narrating something that happened when he was Jack that leads to how he becomes the Face of Boe.

Oh yes I could see a pre credits intro by Boe working.

Do we know that the Face of Boe actually is Captain Jack? It was offered as a wonderful possibility ten years ago on television. Is it absolutely necessary to destroy that mystery in another box-set? Some things, in my view, should just be left to speculation.

Personally, I liked volume one but I didn't love it and I don't know that I need another.
