The Doctors age seems very elastic and subjective to me, especially with Galifrey gone, we only know our own age because it's measured by how many rotations of the earth we've lived through, when Galifrey was around, and given that Timelords by and large seem to visit it with some sort of chronological order The Doctor may have that as a fixed frame of reference for his age, but without Galifrey how is it he's supposed to measure the passage of time?

I like the idea of Ten living for only a short time. That's what makes his reluctance to regenerate work so well in End of Time.

I thought 10 had a lot more years lived at different angles to the short space experienced between 2005 and 2010.

I would like there to be some two-part 'Doctor Who' stories with the Tenth Doctor someday. I also would like there to be stories with Ten and Rose and hopefully a second meeting between Five with Nyssa and Ten. Tim.

I'm okay with a short life for Ten but 5-7 years seems ridiculously short. 20-30 maybe.

A return to New Earth!
It'll be intresting to see how Big Finish will handle any stories set within series three/series thirty - a new companion feels kind of inevitable, as Martha's arc feels well and truly told (if Freema is avaliable). Martha's also more freely avaliable for another Dalek story then Donna (I suppose there is the ever convient mindwipe).
Also: the inevitable 'Donna get's a sneak peak at her future and is later mindwiped' tale is going to hurt. Big Finish, I know you. Your going to go there.

Yes, within Ten's own era, it got repetitive, but it's a nice note to play with our knowledge of Ten's journey and his struggle agasint the darkness - and a nice reminder and hook for the audience that despite everything, The Daleks will always be there.... I wonder if we'll get a Locum Doctors style story for Ten at some point? It would be a nice tease and lead in for newcommers to Big Finish audience into other Doctor Who ranges.... Come to think of it, a Locum Doctors style story with Eight swapping places with Nine would be an intresting way of getting around Eccleson's reluctance to return to the role.....

The one thing I want to see most from the 10DAs, if that's what we're to call them, is an improved Tenth Doctor.
Yes, I said it. As much as I respect David Tennant as an actor (the guy's incredibly versatile) and admire RTD's writing during his time as showrunner, something about Ten never really gelled with me. He didn't capture me from the get-go like Eccleston and Matt Smith managed to do in their first episodes, and I didn't begin to warm to Ten until around Waters of Mars, which at that point was near the end of his tenure. Ten to me just doesn't have the most discernible of traits, other then being generally quirky and full of adventure with the odd moment of regret here and there. Seven is the schemer, Eight the romantic, Nine the veteran, but what is Ten? The occasionally vane? The mild narcissist? The king of catchphrases? What I want to see is more depth for Ten. I want to know how he ticks, and hopefully BF can provide that. All in all I'm happy they've chosen to revisit the Series 4 era, even if it isn't my favorite season per say. Tennant and Tate have such excellent chemistry and you can see it in their interviews together. I expect some more good comedy from the two if nothing else.
Anyway, that's my two cents. I'm super stoked for these coming releases, don't get me wrong. I like Ten. I just don't love him like I do some of the Doctor's other incarnations.

The Tenth Doctor encountered classic Daleks in Prisoner of the Daleks...Yeah, but you can only do the whole "jumping a time track" plot so many times. Did they ever say that Caan jumped directly from Manhattan to the Time War? If not, they can have the Doctor encounter Caan again, and end the story with him using another emergency temporal shift.

I'm guessing BF will deliberately forget that the Daleks et al are supposed to be timelocked.

There can always be other surrivors from the Time War who managed to escape being time locked. It'll be intresting what Big Finish will do with these desperate Daleks. I can't see Big Finish going agasint contiunty. It's also possible that some of Davros's Daleks from Remberence of The Daleks surrived somehow and built themselves a new Dalek empire, adding to Ten's sucidal outburst in Evolution of The Daleks. That could be a nice source of Dalek material for Ten.

I would like Derek Jacobi to return as the Master in 'Doctor Who' through Big Finish. I think the John Simm Master didn't tell the whole truth about his escape from the Time War and there are plenty of opportunities for Derek Jacobi to play the Master before becoming human in 'Utopia', whether with Ten or not. Tim.

Seven is the schemer, Eight the romantic, Nine the veteran, but what is Ten? 'The best friend' would suit 10 quite well IMO.

Tim. That wouldn't be in the Tenth Doctor series though. That would have to be either in the War Doctor series, or in some kind of solo boxset. Maybe a sequel to Mastermind could work, with Derek Jacobi telling somebody about his experiences during the Time War.

Bernard Cribbins Also, a 10 and 5 adventure because, well, I think David would enjoy it, so why the heck not. Go nuts.

Personally, I'd like to see something more along the lines of the Companion Chronicles for Mickey and Jackie. I think we could really explore Mickey's relationship to Rose and how he feels losing her to the Doctor, while Camille Coduri is such a wonderful actress I can't help but feel there's a lot to explore there. Hell, I'd like to see Jackie get a trip or two in the TARDIS in a full-cast Tenth Doctor story!
For full cast Tenth Doctor stories, I would like to see further adventures with Martha and Donna for sure. I'm not the biggest fan of Rose, but if they bring back Mickey as well, I don't think I'd mind - again, I think there's a lot of potential there for an interesting TARDIS team dynamic. I'd also like to see some adventures with a new companion or maybe even an adventure with a companion from the comics such as Gabby.
Either way, I'm more than certain that with Big Finish at the helm, we're in for a treat!

I wonder if Mark Gattis's The Suicide Expendition will recieve The Lost Stories treatment? Plenty of publicity, after all and Mark Gattis seems more then happy for Big Finish to handle his past work.
