Anyone interested in a boxset of 8 traveling with Benny? Maybe touching on their "romance"?

Absolutely, although any hint of tension between them should probably just be a running gag.

YES! The Eighth Doctor: The Further Adventures of Bernice Summerfield.
ETA: And then of course the next logical step would be The Further Adventures of Mary Shelley.

Well I am not against the idea, but I can think of a lot of other past companions I’d like to hear in a box set with Eight ahead of Benny.
Personally I be after more Benny with River

I'd prefer more adventures with Eight and Charley/Lucie/Mary Shelley before Benny myself...

I'd take more Mary Shelly stories over Benny personally.

A proper intro story for Sheena/Emma would be my preference, followed by some Missing Adventures with Tamsin
I wouldn't say no to an Eight/ Benny boxset, but I think Benny will be with the Unbound Doctor for a while yet. They did hint in the Extras to the last Benny that there were negative consequences coming down the line because Unbound had jumped universes, so maybe Seven or Eight will become involved in the storyline?

Steven Hall (Death In The Family) pitched a story ("50/50") where McCoy and McGann's Doctors are enemies, not just the usual multi-Doc rivalry but on completely opposite sides of a major war or battle with their companions having to choose sides. BF decided it would be too expensive for so many regulars and a guest cast apparently. Something like that could be an interesting end of the Unbound Doc - you really could have him against one of "our" Doctors and there would be real peril as we don't know things would work out fine for him by story's end as we would have McCoy and McGann. You could even regenerate Warner potentially for a real bookend to his story with Sympathy For The Devil.

And I can imagine both ideas in my head- 7 vs. 8 or the Unbound against the rest.
This was actually something that came into my mind when I first heard of "Zagreus" without knowing exactly what it was about- I first thought it might be a possessed 8 against the others (and I think this might be what a lot of other people expected and why they were disappointed).

This is completely off topic, but I always had the notion that they could do... Who will 3 the Key 2 Time 1st Where different Doctors race to try and find the Key to Time first, each with a different reason for doing so. (It could be a completely different MacGuffin)

Could this mean that this might be a possible idea for any of the next anniversary releases?

Honestly, I really want to see it. The great thing about Benny is that she interacts differently with each Doctor. I've said before, but I really want a 6 episode, 3 disc boxset of Benny rounding up all the Doctors for the finale of Legacy of Time, just to see how she works with 6 very, very different Doctors.

The Sixth Doctor. He's unusually pensive. Seven and his predecessor have a very interesting conversation that seems almost at odds with the rest of the story's mad rush through history. They discuss -- not bicker, not squabble, but discuss -- whether it was a good idea to leave Gallifrey in the first place. There's something quite distinctive about the dynamic between these two incarnations.

Having just finished reading this comic collection this week.... the author explains his thoughts and reasons for using 6 and 7 together in his stories here. This was done on the 90s though, long before BF. However, for me, now, the approach here feels wrong/ off. Sixie is used as a willing pawn in 7s chessgames... and as I wrote in the comics thread, I cannot reconcile this with the picture in my head. Interesting non the less. And the art is exceptional in these panels.

Sixie is used as a willing pawn in 7s chessgames... and as I wrote in the comics thread, I cannot reconcile this with the picture in my head. Interesting non the less. And the art is exceptional in these panels. Yeah, that's the wonderment of John Ridgeway. Just... *chef's kiss* Stunning work. His art is like the second coming of Hal Foster (the artist behind Prince Valiant, Tarzan, etc.). If we're talking Emperor of the Daleks, I might have a rationalisation for that. I think that their joint scheme was a lot more mutual than the strip lets on. It feels like something that the two of them might have concocted together having bumped into one another at a bar. Same brain, at different intervals in their life, pondering the fate of the Daleks and Davros. The Sixth Doctor at this point must know that the Dalek creator is irredeemable. Their conversation in the Cloister Room ("Where did the rage that created the Daleks come from?" needles the Doctor in Up Above the Gods...) feels like a natural progression of everything that happened at TAI in Davros. In the scheme, someone had to be with the Thals to organise the asteroid strike. Seven could easily have turned up in the city, but I think the Sixth Doctor had some unfinished business and chose to spearhead the plan. It's all a ploy, he seems to relax once Davros has shown his true colours, but he has no idea what the outcome will be. The future must be unspoken and all that. If we're talking Time and Time Again specifically... The morose Sixie pictured above fits quite well with the soul searching post- Trial iteration that turns up before The Marian Conspiracy. The one haunted by the Valeyard, mourning Peri and more reacting to the universe, than actively participating in it. The appearance of Frobisher is a positive sign, but he's still prone to bouts of melancholia at this point. Something he can be more blunt about with himself than his companions.
