All cut scenes and outtakes restored
Regards
mark687 Actually, that could definitely work for The Mutant Phase Part 1, which was featured in the Cuddlesome CD. Why not remaster it for a special digital download release, along with the remaining episodes?

I know it’s a fantasy, but I’d love to see a box set of multi-doctor stories, each with a just a pair of doctors. If that makes sense...
One storey with the 3rd doctor and the 6th together, Another with the 5th and the10th, The next with the 4th and the 8th, And so on...
Something like that, not necessarily those pairings, I love a multi-doctor story, but with just two at a time there would be more room for the storytelling.

In regards to the Eighth Doctor, since it seems that the TV movie’s rights have been figured out, why not some more stuff featuring them again with the Doctor! Or even some of the Eighth Doctor novels into audio form!

Or even some of the Eighth Doctor novels into audio form! Unless I'm missing something, as far as I'm aware, they still do not have the rights to Grace and a few other characters from the movie. The Master is a special case.

You sure, because they weren’t by allowed to use that master before (unless you count on print, because Grace was too).

Just as the Doctor, the rights to that Master belonged to the Beeb cause it wasn't an original character.

The Master was created in 1970/71 by Barry Letts and Terrance Dicks as Producer and Script Editor (rather than as writers). So he belongs to the BBC. ('I am the Master! I belong to no-one!')

or is that "We Are The Beeb, and you Will Obey Me"
I don't know if I'm ready to speculate as to what will happen for the upcoming anniversary year. This current anniversary year hasn't all played out yet, but I suspect that the remaining element might be that they are scrambling around, like eggs in a skillet, to get all the download rights sorted for Benny.

I would doubt the d/l rights hunt holds up the creative planning end of BF very much. I continue to believe Big Finish Day will be a big announcement day for next year's plans.

I'd love to see Big Finish do a year of all original companions, given that next year the Fourth Doctor is already slated to have one. Either ones they already have (namely Flip and Constance) or new ones (probably for the Fifth and Seventh Doctor) - any non-trilogy stories can focus on Big Finish characters from the past - the Eminence, the Rocket Men, the Forge, the Scorchies, the Word Lord, whatever really.

I know what you mean I snapped up all the 8th Doctor's stuff for 99p bu but my cds start with Schefrzo. Which is great but I feel like my shelf should threaten to fal on me from the weight more than it does.

Can't believe BF is looking at 20 Years of the Main Range. How long ago does 1999 seem? Still remember the excitement of hearing The Sirens of Time!
I hope BF does something original and clever to celebrate 20 years. Anniversaries are great to celebrate but a nostalgic fanw**k set of releases (i.e. bringing back old monsters, companions or multi-Doctor stories) would not be ideal. Sequel-itis is also something I'd not like to see return.
As hard as it will be to please everyone, Doctor Who is such a broad cannon and is such a great concept I am sure that there are some ideas that BF could explore that push the series in a new direction whilst celebrating the past.

I was going to post on this a few days ago - but reading through, I see several have beaten me to the post (pun) in suggesting a series of re-issues of classic MR stories, particularly those that are out of print.
After all, what do TV and Film companies do to mark an anniversary? They re-release the original classic in some re-mastered format, with nice packaging.
I am strictly one for jewel case size cases that fit with the collection, but perhaps they could consider the collectible tin, a route that the BBC took with its VHS and CD soundtrack/target readings as something more robust to mark the occasion? I say this as the deluxe packaging editions, such as light at the end and the Novel Adaptations special editions, seem to be little more than a hardcover and several glossy pages of photo shop, that goes on the shelf marked miscellaneous/outsized.
The key thing I am thinking may be worth looking at, is remastering the soundtracks for some early releases, with new effects, music and mixing. Some early stories are excellent and demonstrated what could be done with the format (Storm Warning), whilst others, were a bit flat and sounded like they were set in a sound booth, which I suppose they were (Red Dawn?). These should sell on the merits of the content and new artwork, I believe, after all, it is usually enough for Fans of Movies to have a better quality version.

Certainly, some of the older releases were harder to listen to. Limitations of the equipment they had at the time, perhaps, combined with less experience at getting the right sound mix for listeners using a variety of listening devices. I don't imagine that they will do a lot of physical CD re-releases, though, as they have indicated that they are moving away from physical product, to some extent, unless it is a special limited edition of some sort.

I assumed it wasn't they previously weren't allowed to use him, but rather hadn't got a yes from Eric Roberts before. But do we know if BF had even asked before? Eric Roberts is very busy (he's been in something like 450 films I believe, many of which are probably guest roles or cameos, but even so, that would take a lot of travelling) and presumably as an North American based actor more expensive and less experienced at audio work than many of the actors BF usually works with...

I suppose the key thing here is a remastered soundtrack to breath new life into some of the earlier releases. Without production costs, it would perhaps be more viable a proposition.

I would be very surprised if there isn’t a special edition release of The Sirens of Time to mark the anniversary.
It is just a case of what extras will we get...
New cover artwork A limited edition book-set with pictures of, and words from, the Doctors then and now. A remastered recording with a new musical score. Maybe even a new version of the main theme. An updated making of documentary. A brand new look back at the recording documentary with an audio revisit to the original studio. Extra audio content. How about a Director's cut with new material. If there isn’t any more available get Sarah Mowat back along with the other Doctors to record some! Or even go the whole hog - surely there would be a way to weave the Fourth and the Eighth Doctor into the story. - Perhaps they are in another part of Gallifrey along with Romana battling the Knights of Valeysaa. - Perhaps they are in a pair of prequel stories where the Siren isn’t able to bring them to Gallifrey. - Perhaps I shouldn’t get my hopes up too high for this release...
