Apologies if this exists already, but guesses on how BF will celebrate Doctor Who's 60th?
I'm hoping regardless that 8 gets to have a proper hang out with some modern Doctors.

I’d be all for another Legacy of Time approach myself. Separate stories with an unique gimmick in each all connected by an all encompassing story.
Personally, what with Eccleston now being onboard I could see the Modern Doctors having a greater focus than their Classic counterparts.

Hmmm. I wonder if I was more in favor of something more low-key?
Not sure if they could manage to make even bigger and more ambitious things work, and if they can give it enough room to breathe- with a 10 hour audio? And another story about the end of the universe? How many can you do without sounding samey?
I would be VERY much in favor of something different, crazy and experimental. Let there be comedy! Let there be musical numbers! Let it be weird and absurd and crazy. Make it a short story collection, with some really experimental stuff in there. As I said, maybe one horror, one musical, one total slapstick comedy, one with role reversal... and so on. The German audio series which I follow did three of these and I was totally in love with it. Yes, it had also people who hated it, but come on, will you ever be able to please everybody? But I am desperate for something different and original.
But what we will most likely get is another "cram as many people as possible into a 10 hour epic about another end of the universe threat!"

You could almost do it akin to the Doctors meeting up and sharing stories of their past as yet unseen adventures with one another. Think of it like someone reading aloud their memoirs with some of the Doctors occasionally offering their own remarks and observations.

Eccleston has to be included. The only way he'd be in an anniversary special.

The Doctors meet up in Nest Cottage and it's basically just Last of the Summer Wine.

Hello again
It's only Last of the Summer Wine if some of the Doctor's go down a big hill in a bathtub...

I would love somthing low key but it will undoubtedly be a legacy of time/ light at the end of affair.
Which is fine it is what it is. But also will probably not be very good

Hello again
I have a soft spot for Light at the End, one of the few releases I actually bought when it came out. I enjoyed hearing Big Finish's version of The Five Doctors. It made me laugh, I loved John Dorney's portrayal of the hapless human dragged into the Doctor's orbit. The villain of the piece is as creepy as ever, the scenes with the Doctor and Nyssa in Bob Dovie's house are horrid. At the time, I felt it was the hurrah the Classic era deserved and being the contrary person I am I enjoyed it more than the official anniversary special.
Time and a reviewing as part of a NuWho watch a couple of years ago has made me realise what Mr Moffatt was trying to do. As regards the Sixtieth for Big Finish, I would love to see a multi-Doctor special, but as other posters have said, a doomsday-style adventure has been done. How about a treasure hunt or wacky races. First TARDIS team to reach a required destination wins bragging rights for all eternity...
Oh I don't know, it's real conundrum... That's it they all have to solve a series of puzzling situations where nothing is at it seems...

I remember suggesting - 3 the Key 2 Time But I was only thinking about three Doctors. so many Doctors would just be mad, but then… It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Multiverse

Maybe they all hang out because they all meet up with their companions at a big birthday/ anniversary/ wedding of one of the friends/ companions. When I was a kid there were these Star Trek books (short stories, maybe?) about a thing called, "The Captains' Table," which was a bar somehow "outside of time" so that characters from different eras/ships would find their way into the bar and swap stories.could be cool to see Doctor Who do something similar--Braxiatel is throwing a party, and all of the Doctors are invited! Then they start telling stories, each trying to one-up the other, with constant interruptions and mockery.

If paced and written well (and we can be sure there will be great performances) this could be very very fun and absolutely glorious.

How about something akin to TLV, but just a mixture of different audio ranges (e.g. 1-10DA, Companion Chronicles, Early Adventures, Short Trips, Torchwood, Class) with an overarching narrative? That could conclude with a final boxset in November 2023!

Something more adventure than sci-fi, with stakes that matter to the Doctor rather than "it'll be the 3nd of the universe".

I very much doubt whatever BF do for the 60th anniversary will be bigger than what they did for the 50th. It's just not as culturally significant.
