Taking the idea of a Doctor Who version of the Suicide Squad…
The Potentials
Four figures awake around a Tardis console. A holographic image of Narvin appears and speaks.
You find yourselves in unfamiliar bodies. Your mind has been transferred into the brain of a race who’s physical appearance, biology and mental capacity matches our own, but through of a quirk of nature, their own minds never developed sufficiently to use that potential until now, with your recruitment into the Celestial Intervention Agency.
You may currently be confused and might not even know who you are. I am told that is a natural side effect of the process and will soon past. If you choose to share your true identity with each other that is up to you. However, to avoid any possible past prejudices and allow you to work efficiently as a team, I will assign you each a code name.
I did have a collection of names ready, but looking at you now I think it would be easier if we simply went with the colour of your hair.
So…Miss Raven…Miss Blonde…Mr Grey…Mr Brown
If you complete this mission you will be released from service and your mind returned to it’s rightful host. You will be free to go.
If you choose not to attempt the mission you are also free to go. But go with the knowledge that your original body will be destroyed and your current body has no regenerative capabilities.
Your team name is…Potent.

I'm currently re-reading some of my favourite EDA's...at its best the range remains one of my favourite parts of the Whoniverse...what I would give for adaptations of Vampire Science, Father Time, The Scarlet Empress, The Year of Intelligent Tigers or Trading Futures etc...at the very least I still hope BF do some more stories with Fitz one day Agreed so many great classics Father Time and The Year of Intelligent Tigers (which i can see why was republished for the 50th anniversary) are such good reads Nick has said that the Novel Adaptation range is dead, but they might look at audio book readings. I wonder if the EDAs might be a candidate for such readings. They don’t seem to be available as audio books. If so I really hope they can get Paul McGann in to voice the Doctor in such releases. It would increase the cost, but would certainly increase the appeal.

Most of the things on this list are fantasy, I guess. Susan’s War 2, with at least 1 episode featuring her continuing adventures with Veklin. Fantasy realm: Susan’s War series. 12 (Peter Capaldi) goes back for Susan. Robots becomes a series. Out of Time 10 & 7, 10 & 8 Lady Christina 3 Raine returns to Big Finish (yes, I know why the character was disallowed from further appearances. So this is also a fantasy) More adventures of DI Menzies, Romana III (Juliet Landau), Izzy, Mary Shelley (Julie Cox), Sara Kingdom, Anya Kingdom, Roz & Chris Cwej (on audio), Zeynep (Lisa Zahra from TW Fall to Earth), Zoe, Vicki, Polly, The Rani (hopefully someday the rights are sorted out). Zachary Cross Flane & Ida Scott adventures (not necessarily together) Tales from New Earth 2 (especially Senator or Novice Hame) Brigadier Bambera series Bonnie the Zygon Clara echoes (since there are millions) even just a Short Trip narrated by someone else Ace & Tegan series, awesome if Nyssa joins in 9 & Missy, River, Susan, Jenny, the Paternoster Gang, classic companions (I am loving all of 9’s releases so far) Countermeasures (even if they did say on the podcast there won’t be any more) Monthly Range returns (I like the format & length of the stories) And even more impossible than the above, more adventures of Erimem & Peri. In between adventures. This wishlist used to be longer, but some things actually came true! Like: Jenny 2 (after so many years), Missy 3, more Vienna & Eric Roberts Master = Nemesis Express, Rose Dimension Cannon 2 (& we even get 3), more Veklin & Gallifrey = War Room, more Charlotte Pollard = The Further Adventuress, Classic Drs New Monsters 3 (& we even get 4), SJA cast (Rani 1 & 2), Martha, Brigadier Bambera (made it to my list after I watched Battlefield on the Collection boxed set). So, hope springs eternal.

Why was she disallowed from Future Releases? Nick thought BF had cleared Raine's future uses with Andrew Cartmel when Nick wrote her into UNIT Dominion (they hadn't) Regards mark687

And now because of that Cartmel said she can no longer be used You'd think Mr Cartmell would want his creation to live on and continue to be part of Doctor Who... not letting Raine be used just means the end of the character. <shrugs>

A continuation of New Captain Scarlet. There were still so many opportunities to continue a very impressive remake. Many of the cast have worked - or continue to work - with Big Finish.

To be honest, I’m actually surprised he hasn’t done a BBV and written a few spin off stories with the character.

Personally, I’d quite like to see a War Master Christmas Special.
Not sure how exactly you would do that per se but I could see it being a more sinister take on a beloved Christmas tale.

You could do it akin to Blackadder’s Christmas Carol. Where to further his aims in the Time War, the War Master effectively ruins and poisons the life of a good man.

I'd love a story where Charlotte Pollard meets the Time War era 8th Doctor, her seeing him at his most broken with emotions running high like Scherzo.
On a similar note, the 8th Doctor near the end of his life meeting himself from his early years (The Silver Turk - Storm Warning). I find the idea of having an argument with my younger self really interesting, I'm sure younger me would despair at the middle aged sell out I've become.
More stories written by Rob Shearman.
A War Master Xmas Special would be awesome!

Just a thought on the idea of a Master Christmas story, can I suggest as a title…
. THE CHRISTMAS TERROR
Also at the end the Master let’s somebody live. Call it a Christmas miracle.

I just have finished re-listening to Cradle of the Snake. Amazing performances. And Peter Davison is just awesome as a villain. Now in the extras, Barnaby Edwards is saying: "Peter Davison would be great if cast as the Master." Honestly, why has this not happened yet? Swapping minds seems to be one of the latest hobbies of the Master. Let him indulge a bit more.

That’s a neat idea. The victim is mentally broken by the experience of watching his friends and loved ones die and begs to know why he was spared. The Master basking in the snow merely remarks “Well, tis the spirit of the season after all…” Before walking off while whistling “Come All Ye Faithful” only pausing to shout back one “Merry Christmas!” All the while, the poor unfortunate just sits there. Stunned.
