I'd also love to see (hear) depicted how Ace ends up leaving Seven for Gallifrey. Doesn't need to be the end of Sophie's tenure at BF, there's no reason why it couldn't be a one-off story set at the end of their travels together, before returning to their regular stories. It's in the NA Lungbarrow. Best chance of getting it is a revival of the novel adaptations

I’d like an adaptation of Ground Zero, but with two major changes.
The first one would be to replace Sarah Jane with Raine Creevy, because I don’t want them to recast Liz Sladen. Raine would be pulled out of time just after the events of Animal and at the end would decide to remain with the future Seventh Doctor, while Peri and Susan are returned to where they came from.
Then a post-credits scene has Ace wake up in a hospital bed and Narvin emerges from the shadows to tell her she’s on Gallifrey as the Gallifrey theme blares in the background.

Best chance of getting it is a revival of the novel adaptations I don't think Big Finish have ever considered themselves beholden to anything in the novels, and I'd be perfectly fine if they decided to do their own. In my own personal DW headcanon, books and comics don't count -- only TV and Big Finish do, so as far as I go the story hasn't been told yet.

And really, Ace is pretty dead set against staying on Gallifrey in Lungbarrow.

It's in the NA Lungbarrow. Best chance of getting it is a revival of the novel adaptations A more immediate, and better chance, would be a revival, in e-book, of the actual line. For such an interesting book it's also such dreadful nonsense. I'd still like it reissued though. And that's just a matter of interest from the powers that be, really. Virgin did a tiny line of Judge Dredd novels at the same time, and Rebellion (2000AD's current owners) bought the line and issued them as e-books. It CAN be done. The question is does anyone in charge (a) care enough and (b) is it cost effective to create digital editions. And no, before anyone reiterates an old line from way back, an army of volunteers scanning and OCRing et cetera wouldn't be a viable option. There needs to be some quality control. BF should create their own version of Ace and Gallifrey and not be jamming square pegs into round holes.

Novels only count when they've been taken into the audio world in my own headcanon.

The WarnerDoc to meet the tenth Doctor. Ohh, and him meeting River Song. It would be really interesting to see if/how she gels with someone who never was, or ever would be “her Dcotor”.

And really, Ace is pretty dead set against staying on Gallifrey in Lungbarrow. Yeah that's why I think if you want to put it all together, the Season 27 Lost Stories should be after Lungbarrow (and the Prisoner's Dilemma mindwipe which cleans out her VNA memories). I personally would say Ace's time on Gallifrey resolves her fate in Ground Zero but that's even less likely to be adapted! More on topic... Things I'm waiting for include:- Tenth Doctor and River. The lack of this in ANY story other than her original two-parter (and the DOTD novel) is baffling to me, given that it was originally intended that she only knew Ten! - A resolution for post-Trial Peri. - A resolution for Raine. - More Frobisher. - Paternoster Origins starring Classic Doctors. - I doubt this thread will ever be picked up but Joshua Douglas from The Catalyst DID travel with the Third Doctor for ten years and he's very different from any of his other companions. - A proper new companion for the Fifth Doctor who stays for more than three stories. - An ongoing arc between stories in a new series Doctor release. - More Ninth Doctor. - More War Doctor in any form, hopefully with Leela, maybe narrated by her.

I've said this before somewhere but this IS what I'm waiting for:
The Third Doctor and Jo to have an adventure with Benny and her Third Doctor. There are are so many squee-able possibilities there. And for preference it will be a 3DAs four-parter where in the middle of some 'aliens' crisis on Earth, the Doctor thinks he's detected new alien interference and he has and it's him...
One Third Doctor who learned to cooperate with humans over his years in exile, another who never did. Both trying to fix the same crisis in different ways and very nearly scuppering the Earth in the process - until Jo and Benny pull them together and they all save the day.
EDIT: Four-parter? No, it should fill the whole volume, two consecutive four-parters!

That would be utterly brilliant.

Definitely more Raine!

It’s a shame that it’s probably quite unlikely that we’ll see her again as she wasn’t particularly well received (doesn’t help that she was overshadowed by Ace and then had to contend with Klein and Macqueen) and I think there was some issue with Andrew Cartmel wanting to write all of Raine's stories and wasn’t happy about Dominion, but I dunno how much of that is true. I think Raine has plenty of potential and I personally did enjoy what I’ve heard of her. I just wish she wasn’t just picked up and then abandoned and also had her timeline made dodgy as well in Dominion.

1. The end to the Constance and Flip arc 2. The end to the older Peri arc 3. Another new companion for 4 and K9 and new companions for 5 and Nyssa/Tegan, 6, and 8 to do a soft reboot the Doctor Who line alongside the 7/Mags team. 4. The Main Range to move to a 6 disc x 3 story format with the option of download only simultaneous single releases like the FDAs did 5. A solo male companion. 6. Two Sixth Doctor trilogies in 2020 7. A return to a multi-Doctor trilogy in 2021 8. 3 (not as likely), 4, and 8 to start alternating the 13th main range release 9. Matt Smith and Arthur Darvill doing Eleven and Rory searching for Amy stories 10. A solo 10 set 11. A multi-Doc with Treloar and Warner

If they reboot each Doctor Range:
Five, Gabby and Joel (I refuse to believe that he’d just leave them in the past like that, least he could do is take them on a few trips and maybe drop them off somewhere more comfortable than the 16th Century)
Six and Menzies
Seven and Mags
Eight and a new Companion (Maybe we can finally find out who Todd and Rita are?)

Two (conflicting) thoughts on recasts:
1) The idea of adding Treloar's Three to the Monthly Range: wow oh wow do I ever hope not. I really appreciate that the recast Three adventures are off on their own....so I don't have to buy into them. I'm still less than pleased that there's going to be a recast Doctor in Legacy of Time.
(Back on topic for this thread: ) 2) And now to completely contradict my previous point: while I completely understand and respect that BF seems to have no desire to recast John Hurt, I would be totally on board with a series of adventures featuring a younger War Doctor played by someone else. In some way this seems less egregious to me simply because we never had any opportunity to see a 30something-year-old John Hurt in the role. I'd also like for it to be something harder-edged, with the WD doing some distasteful things, but that's something I just don't see BF ever doing.

I think you could get a really different Doctor-Companion dynamic with two bullheaded men but ultimately best friends sharing a time and spacecraft. Or better yet, why not both?

I don't think there's a contradiction - There's definitely a difference between the two things you mentioned: Tim Treloar as the Third Doctor is Michael Gambon as Dumbledore, replacing Richard Harris. A young War Doctor is Jude Law as Dumbledore, a character that will eventually become Harris/Gambon.

Ok, things that I should have said before but didn't think of it:
1) Agree with previous comments, more Raine! 2) I'm waiting for more Menzies! Always love her. 3) More McQueen Master. We've had so many Master stories lately and I really wanted for him to be a part of it all. 4) 10 and Martha 5) Martha and Torchwood 6) Some way to have a Short Trip with Sarah Jane. Maybe even have one of the kids from the SJA narrate.
