Yes the first set is a beauty in its packaging . If it ends at the third set am fine with it but they need to tie it up the Big Finish version of the story I totally agree. I'm of the mind that they need to do 17 episodes as per the original series, but personally I wouldn't want it to continue after that. I totally think the CD version should differ in ending from the TV version i want an ending. I want something less ambiguous something concrete i want a solution a definite this is what I think happened,if you know what i mean

I don't care what anyone says, or how hard they try to explain it, it's a mess and incomprehensible.

I have not WATCHED Doctor Who in a long time a few months-so i slipped in a Blu Ray of Matt and Karen....oh how i love the pairing(and Arthur) I do long for the return of them to audio.Though i enjoyed the Chronicles one ,i just cannot wait till i hear them all work audio magic on me. It would definitely be an instant buy...
But i even have a love for Capaldis Doctor and Pearl/and or Clara -

Colin Baker as The Doctor Nicola Bryant as Peri Brown Robert Jezek as Frobisher Frazer Hines as Jamie McCrimmon Nicholas Briggs as The Cybermen I was expecting this to be the Peri & Sixth Doctor boxset that had been hinted at for awhile, but turned out to be post-Trial Peri. After the first volume I hope we do get at least one volume at some stage. After all Colin never got a novel adaptation, so it would be only fair for him to get some comics. Question: Not knowing the stories quoted - why are there four stories in the first batch and only two in the second?

Colin Baker as The Doctor Nicola Bryant as Peri Brown Robert Jezek as Frobisher Frazer Hines as Jamie McCrimmon Nicholas Briggs as The Cybermen I can understand their reluctance to use him after the poor sales of both ‘The Holy Terror’ and ‘The Maltese Penguin’ but I do think the character has become far more popular in recent years and the audience far more accepting of such a preposterous character. Would seem almost silly not to use him again at some point even if it is not in a straight adaptation of the comic strips he appeared in.

Question: Not knowing the stories quoted - why are there four stories in the first batch and only two in the second? I just want SOMETHING with Frobisher. I really hope the fact that he’s not popped up anywhere is because they’ve had so much going on that they’ve not had a chance to get to him yet. I’d like to think they’ve got plans or something in the pipeline rather than just an outright lack of interest in the character. I know he’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but there’s still so many people crying out for more Frobisher and have been for a very long time. Basically those four stories make up an arc involving the Sixth Doctor, Frobisher and a renegade Time Lord called Astrolabus, so it’d be nice to have a mini era with Frobisher rather than just two stories. Plus they were much shorter stories than Iron Legion and Star Beast which were both 8 parts, whereas The Shapeshifter was 2 parts, Voyager 5 parts, Polly the Glot 3 parts and Once Upon a Time Lord 2 parts. Then I went back to the format of Volume 1 for the second batch as I felt like the stories included there have more scope to be adapted into two hour stories, even though they’re still shorter, being a four parter and a three parter respectively. The first story has a large cast of characters and a couple of different settings to work with, so it’s ripe for adaptation plus it sees Peri return to the fold so it’s significant as well. The World Shapers again has a lot of different ideas and concepts to play with that the Comic didn’t do much with. The Return of Jamie, the Voord evolving into the Cybermen on Marinus, the Time Lords meddling in events. It all happens too briefly and quickly, so I’d think that would also work quite well as a two hour story.

He’s very much a fan favourite I find. Maybe once they’re done with the Time War boxsets they can focus on more niche’ characters. I feel like the mention of his existence in ‘Companion Piece’ does mean they’re aware of him as a nice nod to the audience and haven’t forgotten him completely. I’m not a huge fan of ‘The World Shapers’ and its bizarre use of continuity and depressing tone so I like to think if they were going to adapt it, they would make it more in line with the continuity they already have with Jamie.

I had no issue with the Big Talking Bird in the past and have been eager for him to make a return for years. The perceived lack of enthusiasm for his character has probably contributed to Big Finish avoiding none human companions for the Doctor. Which is a shame because you don’t have the same restrictions with special effects on audio compared to the television.

I was almost certain that the Sixth Doctor Boxset was gonna be with Peri and Frobisher after they teased a Sixth Doctor related surprise on Facebook and Robert Jezek had a bit part in one of the Torchwood monthlies (and he’s got a few more stories upcoming). Shame it wasn’t, but at the same time I did really want more from the Older Peri arc. I didn’t mind what happened to Jamie at the end of The World Shapers so much, and I thought that the Doctor telling "Jamie" in City of Spires that he thought he was dead fitted quite well with what we saw in The World Shapers. I’m not entirely clued up on the Post-Doctor continuity Jamie is given in the CCs so I dunno if anything there is contradicted. Maybe they could leave the end of The World Shapers a little more ambiguous. I didn’t like the CyberVoord thing but now that it’s beem confirmed as a case of parallel evolution rather than the actual origin of the Mondas Cybermen I don’t mind it so much.

I reckon if he re appears it’ll be in a guest role in say the Diary of River Song to test the waters as it were. If the reaction is positive, then they might be willing for him to have more a role in the monthly range or his own boxset. His character is definitely more popular than people think he is. I’m just rather amused by the thought of Frobisher trying it on with someone such as Miss Clarke and promptly getting shut down as The Doctor explains to Flip that he used to travel with a talking penguin for a while.

I think if Frobisher is gonna appear, it’s almost definitely gonna be in the Comic Adaptations. It just depends greatly on whether the first set sold well as to whether they’ll be doing more. It’d be a tragedy if that set didn’t sell well as it was really well received and it’d close the door on Frobisher returning somewhat.
Speaking of niche characters, I wouldn’t mind them bringing Grant Markham back for a proper era. Can’t see it ever happening though as he’s too obscure and they wouldn’t adapt his novels.

Here’s hoping! For all we know, next year we’ll be rejoicing at the brilliant Frobisher boxset they have been planning secretly all this time. Yeah, somehow I think there is more of a likelihood of Dodo being recast than Grant Markham making an appearance. That or Absalom Daak and co.

the Death Of Romana 2 now that someone’s suggested it....noooooooooooooo;ooo don’t do it to me Given that the BBC reportedly vetoed any future “Trey” stories, I can’t see them allowing the death of Romana except in the most obscure and possibly survivable circumstances.

The World Shapers is definitely an odd one. A running theory I have is that the Voord have well and truly branched out by this time and it's only the surviving remnants on Marinus that end up converted. Maybe the Cybermen seeded it with some of their technology and it's only the recent installation of the Worldshaper that dug it up? If it were adapted... I think you could flip the episode in Scotland. Devote one of its threads to overturning Jamie's belief that his whole life has been as a crazed, suffering hermit. He's actually had an extraordinary life. Fulfilling and fulfilled. But the memory acids used by the Time Lords have caused something analogous to dementia. In his late 70s/early 80s, his sacrifice comes more from a desire not to pass away frightened in bed, but with all his faculties intact at the heart of what his life was all about. Travel and adventure.

I couldn’t see them ever doing it that way but I still think that’s a great idea. When it comes to the CyberVoord, I like your reasoning and I guess you could always attribute it as being one of the many possibilities for their species. Personally, I’d just love to see how they would try to adapt something as visually striking as ‘Voyager’ for Ths Comic Strip Adaptations.

Travel and adventure. The World Shapers is canon, though: courtesy of 12's monologue in The Doctor Falls. And, frankly, I wouldn't have it any other way as I love how clever it is. Sixie's run of comics is pretty much my graphic novel comfort food so some audio adaptations of them would be totally in my wheelhouse and an almost instant pre-order. Especially if we got the "...'s Story" series preceded by its pre/sequel.
