Hasn't Big Finish said that they won't be adapting any Eighth Doctor Adventures, anyway? I wouldn't expect it, based on what I heard.

I'm certainly interested in book adaptations. I'm not really interested in New Series audios unless they manage to get Smithy and Karen back.

Hello again. 1991, starting a law degree (no I don't know why either!), I was gripped by the New Adventure books. The Timewyrm was a great creation. The best one of the quartet Exodus. This is Terrance Dicks finest hour. Tense, fascinating insight into Hitler's inner circle and great return of an old for.
For the surreal pictures created in my head ,Revelation. I was bitterly disappointed by Cat's Cradle. It made no sense to me whatsoever. It is the only book I returned to the bookshop for a different one, I only got a quarter of the way through it!
Most of my favourite N.A's have already been mentioned. I loved Bad Therapy, a thrilling mix of flawed characters and science dabbling too far.
I boycotted the BBC books for a while because I felt they only took them back because the knew they could make some money from them. I did read a couple from the library. I liked Fitz, was a little bit spooked by the idea of human TARDIS Compassion and confused by The Ancestor Cell. My favourites, Father Time and The Year of the Intelligent Tiger.

If they finally did some audios or whatever with Anji, Sair Khan i think would be a great choice

Ten Little Aliens would be great choice to adapt. Stephen Cole has written for Big Finish numerous times over the years. Plus it's an unused TARDIS team at BF. On one of the podcast Nick did say that doing One/Ben/Polly stories would be a neat idea but at the same time, you do get the impression that they really didn't travel with The First Doctor for very long.

If not, could the Dying Days be a contender? It's the only New Adventure with the 8th Doctor so is significant in that respect but also caused quite a storm with implication that the Doctor and Bernice had a sexual relationship. The only other release that I think could warrant 3 discs is Lungbarrow, I mean, it's got to be hasn't it?

Dying Days also has the Brigadier issue. They could do it Lost Stories/companion chronicles style and have McGann etc narrate the Brig's scenes, The Dying Days is highly regarded and very hard to get hold of, and many people (including me) have yet to read it, it's a very likely candidate for adaptation i.m.o, if they were to adapt it, I'd rather they comprise and use it as a tribute to the Brig, rather than dodge around his absence...

I think Briggs and co only ruled out out the BBC EDA's (probably because thy weren't as popular as the Virgin Lines, the rights may be harder to negotiate from the BBC, and they would probably prefer to make new stories for 8 rather than adapt old ones considering McGann's limited availability) but there's still a chance they could adapt TDD or his Telos novellas I guess...

The Dying Days is highly regarded and very hard to get hold of, and many people (including me) have yet to read it Worth the grab if you find it, I managed to pinch a copy off eBay and it's the Eighth Doctor at his best. Even more remarkable when you consider it was one of his earliest adventures, even before the emergence of the BBC range from memory. I'm still hunting for that copy of Lungbarrow that's under $2000 though.

I thought it was also stated that they're not adapting Lungbarrow. Big Finish sometimes tell lies. I didn't hear it from BF. I thought I heard (from sources other than BF) that Marc Platt didn't want to adapt Lungbarrow again. Could be wrong, though. Can't find the source where I thought I'd read it.

I've seen copies of Lungbarrow for $100 but I'm not paying that much for a used paperback that's probably not in very good condition. (The ones I've seen for $100 are listed as in "acceptable" to "good" condition - which can mean anything from actually good to pretty lousy. )

I have 47 of the series and they are all in nearly new condition - mostly found around the $10 range. The ones I'm missing seem to be in the "need a second mortgage" category of affordability.
