2 Roads Not Taken End (one sadly permanently)
The 10th meets old friends as the 5th attempts to reconcile his time.
Ace and Colchester take another "Busmen's Holiday"
A Holiday Annual for the Andersonverse
And unfinished business with Terra Nostra for the B7 Crew
Regards

Definitely Blood and Steel if only to hear the last hurrah of the Warner Doctor. And strangely enough, Forty. But only because I’m curious to see how they incorporate Ainley’s Master.

Forty 2 for me. If I'm honest, I don't think the classic Doctors have been terribly well served of late, but I'm encouraged that Tim Foley is writing this, and also that it is one of only two (I think) six-parters The Fifth Doctor has enjoyed.

10th Doctor Adventures- Classic Companions (The Last Tenth Doctor Content for this year should hopefully be a fun release) 5th Doctor Adventures- Forty 2 (Finally Getting a follow up with 5 meeting The Brig and Jon Culshaw's Ainley Master) Doctor of War Vol 2- Sounds like it will be bit of confusing fun but hey Beevers Master and Davros being The Alternative Sixth Doctors Companion could be amusing) New Adventures of Bernice Summerfield Vol 7- David Warners Swan Song as The Unbound Doctor hopefully will go out on a highnote

It’s a barren month in terms of anticipation, to be honest.
Tenth Doctor, Classic Companions is probably the most anticipated, but I’m not massively excited. It’s the three most overused companions in the Big Finish roster and I’ve not seen or read anything with a real hook. If anything it’s Ten & K9 that’s the most appealing and I’ve seen that on telly three times! I hope that the affection of the Doctor and the companions shines through in the way it does with other Doctors in Out of Time.
I wasn’t keen on the first volume of Forty and the second doesn’t do anything to enthuse me about the premise. Doctor of War 1 I didn’t like at all and the second volume seems like more of the same nonsensical guff that we’re supposed to lap up.

Torchwood: Death in Venice - The range is strong enough that for the moment I'm getting all of BF's TW stuff, and Ace and Colchester worked so well together last time that this seems like a no-brainer. Doctor Who: Blood and Steel - More Benny + Unbound? Absolutely.
I'll admit, I'm surprised to see people calling Blood and Steel Warner's final outing as the Doctor. I don't think that's been confirmed anywhere and we already know that he's in the 60th next year. Blood and Steel was recorded in October last year, and Warner recorded Shilling and Sixpence 2 in March this year, so it's highly possible that he recorded more stuff with Lisa Bowerman for the Benny series.

I don’t think we know for sure he recorded as the Doctor, just that he recorded something for it, so it could be another character to add to his long list of Big Finish characters over the years. I could be wrong there though.

Unbound Benny: A bittersweet release for sure, but this range has always been high quality so no doubt this will be a fine last outing for this pair.
Death in Venice: In lieu of Series 7 any Colchester material is welcome and pairing Ace with him has managed the surprising feat of giving her a fresh angle.
I’m just not sold on 10th Doc nor Doctor of War. I’ve had my fill of Tenth Doctor crossovers with other eras and Doctor of War 1 was just a misfire on launch for me.

While I hope with all my heart you are correct that David recorded more, sadly it cannot be ignored that he'd had his Cancer diagnosis a good year and a half before he passed away, and that at some point in the last few months he had entered Denville Hall. He was such a private man (as was his right) that we simply have no idea if he was fit enough to record anything beyond what he did.

Pre-ordered Unbound Doctor of War, because this is Colin, but so far, have not even listened to the first one at this point. I also got the 10th Doctor set pre-ordered, I am curious what they do with his old companions and if there will be some heartwarming character stuff in there, a bit like Jo meeting the 11th Doctor in the Sarah Jane adventures. But we have coming up my most anticipated release of the year- Bernice Summerfield and the Warner Doctor. Even if I am at the moment really over Nazis as villains. I know, they make wonderful villains, but there have been other atrocities, even more recent atrocities, in other countries, and I get the feeling they are pretty much ignored. Only just recently had a discussion with a forum member here about some atrocities in his country, and he basically told me to stop talking about it because "it was too political". Well, yes, genocide and destruction of cultural heritage usually is.... (except of course if the destroyed side has a very small voice and is still to this day treated as sub-human by the majority of their compatriots).
And guess what, Nazism is still right now very much current politics in Germany- and even if I am sick of it to every bone, I am still prepared to talk about it and about what my grandparents told me about the war.
So nah, not impressed by the attitude by other nations to bury their skeletons very deep in subterran closets.

Getting everything apart from the Gerry Anderson Annual audiobook
Probably most looking forward to the B7 audiobook, with Benny and Forty 2 tied in second place
I held off listening to Unbound Dr of War 1 until I had part 2, so I could binge all 6. The reviews haven't been too hot though, so I am not all that excited, and am expecting a frustrating listen to something I can't entirely follow. Hoping to be proven wrong!

out of the specified item the only one I'm not (strictly speaking) getting is the DL only audiobook of the Gerry Anderson Annual and that's because I've ordered a physical cd copy from Anderson Entertainment
