An audio spectacular featuring Doctors 9, 10, 11 and 12. A YouTuber/cosplayer sugggested that THE LOST DIMENSION (the best of Titan Comics' three multi-Doctor crossover stories) would make a good anniversary audio adaptation and I confess that sparked my imagination!

Actually, can I get a quick show of hands (well, thumbs, I guess) on more Frobisher? If there's enough demand for more of the whifferdill, the Wordsmiths might be able to do something with it in the future. (There's at least one more penguin tale in the pipeline right now.)

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

How many thumbs are we allowed? Do both of mine count as two votes?

I’m always up for more Frobisher.

I would really love a novel adaptation of Sands of Time. I am also still wanting audios of how Romana returned and her early days and ascendency to President. (This could either be through adaptations of Goth Opera and Blood Harvest .... or some entirely new story by BF)
I would love more 10 and Donna and when he is ready 9.
I would love a few Victorian Torchwood episodes.
Every other check box BF has already done for me. They really have checked a lot of boxes in the last few years!

Adaptations of the BBC EDA's almost certainly never going to happen, but there are some absolute gems in that range that would show a very different side to the 8th Doctor, and BF could create some magic soundscapes bringing to life stories as diverse as The Year Of Intelligent Tigers, The Crooked World, and Father Time etc...
I've bought, and throughly enjoyed all of the Novel Adaptations and would have happily supported a return of the range, but alas, it's not going to happen...

Most of the stuff I'd like are things I think we will get from Big Finish at some point, or are just little things I’d like as part of existing ranges, so I’m confident about those.
My big thing I'd have loved is an adaptation of Engines of War. Obviously that won’t happen due to Sir John Hurt’s passing, but it would’ve made a wonderful accompaniment to the four sets we did get.
My other thing is also War Doctor related and that is War Doctor Chronicles. I’m sceptical about it happening due to him being omitted in the Paul Spragg competition, so I think Big Finish only had access to the incarnation for the four sets they did, with John Hurt. Anyway, if such a set was to happen, then there’s a great cast they could use: Jacqueline Pearce, Louis Jameson, Ken Bones and Clare Higgins. Lalla Ward and Carole Ann Ford too, if you want to make it a little more nostalgic. I’d even take Nick Briggs narrating, even though I don’t find it necessary when you’ve got actual cast members for the four stories. Or even Doctor Short Trips.
More War Doctor basically!

C'Rizz short trips, I thought Conrad Westmaas was excellent as C'Rizz, he did a great job with a somewhat muddled backstory and character motivations, but alas usually played third wheel in that tardis team, with the benefit of hindsight and the nostaglia angle it would be interesting it BF revisited the character all these years later, with a few short stories from his point of view, clearing up/filling in a few gaps in the character.
Probably never going to happen because C'Rizz came in at a pretty divisive period in the MR, and I believe Conrad Westmaas has retired from acting?

(This could either be through adaptations of Goth Opera and Blood Harvest .... or some entirely new story by BF) I was looking forward to the prospect of some Fifth Doctor novel adaptations, especially Sands of Time and Goth Opera. The Seventh Doctor VNA never appealed to me. Even after all this time I am still a little annoyed that they decided to couple Damaged Goods with The Well Mannered War - that was the first and only time I have ever had to ring Big Finish to cancel an order.

I think the mistake Big Finish made with the Novel Adaptations is making it a separate range. As you (mbt66) say, not everyone enjoys every Doctor to the same extent, so pairing up Seven and Four in the same release was a weird choice. Same goes for the fact that they weren't following any particular order, just picking and choosing random releases with no apparent cohesion, so it doesn't feel like a, forgive the repetition, cohesive range. Releasing them as special releases, maybe with boxsets (perhaps a miniseason, 8th Doctor style) or a main range trilogy with connected stories, would have made them more appealing and encourage people to buy them more. They started like that with the first four, and the idea of a boxset with the two Fourth Doctor stories was good, but perhaps the collector's edition not so much, as the price was too prohibitive. I think if the Hinchcliffe presents and Lost Stories (which were organised in seasons/special boxed sets, like these should've been) ranges were successful, this one could have been too, but they didn't plan it properly, and what we got was a disorganised, disjointed range which led to its eventual failure.

If there's enough demand for more of the whifferdill, the Wordsmiths might be able to do something with it in the future. Two flippers up in this corner. Wait what? I've been working on writing up a full-length novel for Six/Peri/Frobisher set in that DWM period since about March last year. Barring illness, accident or a plague of locusts, I'm planning on getting it finished sometime this year. I started before the discussion about the Wordsmiths maybe doing some full-length novels, but since then... I guess this could be a prototype of sorts? The original plan was that it would be the first of a few more Six/Peri/Frobisher stories set after The World Shapers. Now, with everything that's been set-up, it's also been a pretty good workout of my literary muscles for what to expect if we do eventually set up a full-length novel/novella line. Once it's edited, I'll release it through the site and people can read it at their leisure; no preparatory browsing required. Honestly, it just bugged me that we didn't have anymore stories from them, so I'm writing one up.

I’d love more Frobisher! I think that boat sailed for Big Finish when he wasn’t included in the Last Adventure set.

I almost submitted a Six-Peri-Frobisher story last year to the Paul Spragg competition but figured it was too much of a continuity gap filler, despite liking the story idea. It might still end up as one of my two this year if I spruce it up a bit.

It might still end up as one of my two this year if I spruce it up a bit. Thanks. I'd definitely give it another shot, particularly if you're fond of the core concept. I can offer some advice, though. You can take it onboard or disregard it at will, but from what I've learned... If you're concerned about too much continuity, I'd recommend Davros on audio and Emperor of the Daleks in comics (hopefully available at your local library). One does its job of being a prequel so well that Revelation ends up feeling like its sequel. The other really shouldn't work, on paper it should be a mess, yet somehow all of its component parts cooperate beautifully and deliver a really nice story (a multi-Doctor prequel/sequel to, at least, three different Dalek stories all at once). More specifically, though, I'd say that if you can get the characters' dynamic down-pat, you don't need too much continuity to make your story work. We're all here for the story you can tell. Your ideas are what make your story. And hey, if it doesn't work out with the Paul Spragg competition, hold onto it. There may be other options for it at some point in the future.

I would like to see but accept I never will the story I had a dream about last night where the Fourth Doctor, Tegan and Turlough go for a picnic and rent a swan-shaped pedalo.

You could always recycle the idea for something a little more onbrand next year
I'm hoping for more Froshiber, but as Big Finish have stated, the character is divisive. Given Colin Baker's fondness for the character, it's possible we'll be seeing him in the Comic Book Adapations or Robert Shearman's upcoming tale.
