Simple premise, say what you want to see in future Short Trips and discuss what's been mentioned already
- We've already had two read by Rufus Hound as the Monk, and the Geoffrey Beevers Master one has just been announced. A Rani ST read by Siobhan Redmond could be good, and she hasn't appeared since Planet of the Rani in 2015
- A ST with Ollistra, read by Jacqueline Pearce. Her voice is a dream, and Ollistra in a Time War strategy without the Doctor for a change has great potential.
- A Braxiatel ST read by Miles Richardson. We're usually on the receiving end of one of his schemes, so being there, a fly on the wall so to speak, while he's coming up with and enacting a scheme would be delightful. We're getting the Narvin Short Trip, so the cast of Gallifrey aren't off limits.
- A Brigadier focused ST read by Tim Treloar. The format allows for the Brig to get a spotlight while avoiding the thorny issue of recasting him. Not to mention the Brig getting in a win without having to fall back on the Doctor (I can so see the Doctor going out for the day and UNIT having to handle the menace without him) would be amazing.

Absolutely an Ollistra one. I sort of have an idea in my head where the War Doctor is put on trial for perceived war crimes, following the events of the four boxsets, and Ollistra ultimately ends up defending him. Then shortly after he ends up obtaining The Moment, ending it all. I think that would be a lovely, poignant way to end the War Doctor range.

I kinda want a Trenzalore short trip from Handles point of view...
River Song short trips set earlier in her timeline and removed from the arcs of the boxsets could be fun.
Perhaps some Romana/Leela/Narvin etc short trips set in the time war?
ST's with some of 8's old underused companions-Mary, Fitz, Izzy, Tamsin etc
Perhaps a few Benny ST's to help celebrate her 20th Anniversary at Bf next year?

I think I'd enjoy some Unbound-style Short Trips, along the lines of last year's Full Life.
Villainous POVs are always fun. I'm also partial to day-in-the-life stories, such as A True Gentleman or more intimate stories like To Cut a Blade of Grass.
I would also like to hear Short Trips similar to the earlier ones, where the point of view character is an outsider narrating a first encounter with the Doctor or companions.

Basically every time it's a non-classic-series companion I get excited. So, uh, what's Robert Jezek up to these days?

Ollistra would be an interesting one, maybe explaining what happened to her around the end of the War. I'd quite like a civilian POV on the War, how does a normal civilian surivive when the Time Lords and Daleks start tearing apart their world?
Unbound ones would be fun, A Full Life did very well by setting aside continuity.

I'd love to see more connected STs, like the old Companion Chronicles trilogies. The two Jackie stories seem to be a fun step in that direction!
And I'd love some War Doctor ones. In many ways, it's the ideal format for that "era".

* Canton Everett Delaware III meeting the Third Doctor on a secret mission.
* More War Doctor stories narrated by a scared Dalek.
* The Terrible Zodin confronting each Doctor, I've always imagined her to look like Columbia from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" but with bird features like the Shi'Ar.
* Jim the Fish, the true story.
* A Doctor-lite story, just like "The Veiled Leopard", in which two newly married couples, the Ponds and the Smith-Jones, celebrate their honeymoon and stop an alien invasion.
* An adventure of Sally Sparrow with the eleventh Doctor.
* The Monk used an anti-gravity lift to assist in the completion of Stonehenge as mentioned in his TV debut, maybe he being hired by the Silence or the Alliance to create the Pandorica.
* Nardole Untold: the origin of the legend.

I haven't transferred much of it from my brain to the processor yet, but I know what I'd be doing with it. I worked it out on a walk to the supermarket... walks to Asda are where I do a lot of my planning and thinking. |

I worked it out on a walk to the supermarket... walks to Asda are where I do a lot of my planning and thinking. I hear you. I do my best creative thinking while walking. If I'm having problems figuring a scene out or how I want to fix a show/staging/performance, the walking trail by my house is usually the best place for me to work it out. |

Unbound Doctor short trips.
A Master story read by MacQueen.
War & Ninth Doctor short trips.
Spend a year just doing readings of some of their old dead-tree anthologies (I am particularly keen for 2040 and The Centenarian)

I'd also want them to pull in She Won't Be Home from The History of Christmas, so, 18  They could take a year and a half! |

Even a "best of" boxset by Stephen Critchlow would be lovely, but I can't see them doing it either. There's a reason they went for longer individual releases. I wish they'd re-release the collections as e-books, but the rights issues are probably a Gordian knot. |

Plus Big Finish can't publish Doctor Who or Who-related properties in prose form anymore as part of the license conditions. Benny is a separate license. |
