But personally I don't need narration in the EA's or the 3DA's. sush! Don't give them any ideas! I like narration of the Early Adventures and the 3DA's. I like it because it is a good way of telling an audio story, and it sets them apart from the stories where the original Doctor actors are present. I like it because it reflects the style of a talking Target-style novel. I think it should be kept, but being as it's being phased out (of the 3DA's at any rate), it doesn't maktter what I think!

Once you recast the Doctor, the floodgates are open. Barbara and Ben have been recast as well. Arguments could be made that the first and second Doctors have been recast. So.... Why not Lethbridge-Stewart? Cast him well and we could get Lethbridge-Stewart on TV as well. Why not Sarah-Jane? They've clearly made decisions based on how long the respective character's actor passed away. It's been decades for Pertwee, Michael Craze, Jacqueline Hill. It's been only a few for Liz Sladen, Nick Courtney and Mary Tamm. There's also a much more personal connection for the latter as they all worked with BF whereas the former died before BF was formed. So I don't think we'll see those characters recast for a long, long time. It's not policy across all fandom of course - BBV recast Liz Shaw earlier in 2015 for a new film only 2 years after Caroline John passed (I thought the title of their release - "When To Die" was ill-advised) and I don't remember that release being too controversial though admittedly BBV are a minnow compared with BF. I doubt many people watched that release anyway.

I'd like to see the Brigadier and the Master recast. I'd prefer to have someone doing a Delgado impression, but I'd be okay with a new post-Delgado pre-Pratt Master.

I didn't mind the narration in the 3rd Doctor set. I agree that it was a good way to include Benton and the Brigadier. But either way works for me. (It's not my favorite era of DW so I guess I don't feel too strongly one way or the other.)

I personally would like to see the Brigadier recast, if only to get the new range of books on audio. I don't know if that would work well or not, just that I personally think it would be interesting.
