War of the Daleks (Jemima Rooper as Sam?) with value added Time War forewarnings. She couldnt be Sam as she's already Izzy Well, given Sam has less then no actual character in War of the Daleks, replace her with Izzy.

Dying Days relies too heavily on Lethbridge-Stewart. Conceivably we could swap Alistair for Kate, but Kate's surprised the Doctor recognises her in "Power of Three".

I want to see Engines of War as an audio adaptation more than ever.

Imperial Moon by Christopher Bulis, with the Fifth Doctor, Turlough and Kamelion (he's the easiest character to recast, he's a shapeshifting android!).

I was actually thought she was more surprised that he knew she was the Brig's daughter. It could work if they change the date to something post 2016

Also wouldnt it act as an off shoot of Red Dawn as well? since that involved a Mars program

Not Rags that's for certain.
Goth Opera, Cold Fusion & Blood Harvest are my top three choices.
The Man In The Velvet Mask is another I'd like to see tackled.

Goth Opera/Blood Harvest for sure. The Timewyrm arc. Festival of Death. I'd say the NA Alternate Universe arc but as others have noted two of them heavily feature the Brig.

Face of the Enemy with Missy or Hello You and Kate rather than Roger and Alistair? It's the Year of the Master after all.

If it ever happened and they finally did adapts of the BBC EDA's, i'd love for them to do Vampire Science, Bodysnatchers and War of the Daleks. Those three would still work well with various subplots and moments cut. Then also a completely new first story for Sam, with only the drug elements from the start and end of The Eight Doctors kept. (As i mentioned when talking about my Doctor Who Animated idea)

War Of The Daleks had some very poor prose, and the retcon of Skaro is weak, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and it doesn't deserve its reputation i.m.o. Audio adaptations of the EDA's could actually improve some of the stories...

I just finished reading Warlock and I think it could make a really good audio if paired with Cat's Cradle: Warhead

Why not the third in the War trilogy - Warchild?

I would never want them to swap out characters in an adaptation, ie. Companions, Doctors, Kate for the Brig, etc. I'd rather they do a new story if it's that different.
But I would be fine with an Early Adventures style production of a First or Second Doctor novel. Sadly, Witch Hunters is unlikely, but maybe something like The Empire of Glass, with Miles Richardson guest starring.

Why not the third in the War trilogy - Warchild? From memory, it'd require some major rewrites. Unlike Warlock which can be read on its own without any prior knowledge of Warhead, Warchild is a direct sequel to Warlock and Roz is really the only character that shows up for the majority of the book while the Doctor, Benny and Chris are relegated to cameo or supporting roles. It's also the most visual of the novels, Warhead offers a really interesting assembly of pieces into the chessboard that surrounds New York and Warlock seems almost perfect for audio with the main character's transformations, but Warchild itself seems to rely quite a bit on visual spectacle.

Say there were a load of adventures before Sam went to the Rally (Which would include the three stories McGann read for Earth and Beyond). Bodysnatchers, i'd cut the Human Grave robbers subplot and a couple of small bits here and there and with War of the Daleks, i'd cut the whole retcons in act three and just say {Spoiler} that its the real Skaro (which would link into Missy's comment in The Magician's Apprentice, when she said "They built it again") and would explain why Skaro does exist in Asylum of the Daleks. Also i like who it mentions that the Skaro in the TV Movie is actually before the events of Rememberance of the Daleks

That would make sense, {Spoiler} Have one with Sam and the other with the Doctor maybe? i dunno lol
well i know for definite that the Radio Times stories with Stacy and Ssard are in that three year gap, but yeah i get what you mean. Actually thinking on it were those stories ever collected together?
