What ranges will you be getting (some or all of) in 2024?
The poll has all the releases currently announced for 2024. Sorry if I've left any off by mistake.

At the moment, of the confirmed releases I only have the Once and Future Coda and the final 11DC. The former I'm hoping for something surprising and the latter, I have faith in based on the quality of the series so far.
I also have Fugitive and Call Me Master on pre order and really hope we get some news soon.
Other than that, I'm looking ahead and there's not a lot that's been announced that I'm that excited about to be honest. I know I'll get the 8th Doctor stuff and I'd like to hear Harry and Naomi's stuff but other than that it's looking a bit lacking. (I appreciate this is mainly because we don't have a lot of info on the classic/ninth doctor releases yet)
I get the feeling there is going to be a reboot of the way spin offs are handled in the new year (perhaps to coincide with the new website Briggs mentioned a while back).
Is love some more 12 content as I enjoyed the full cast Timejacked, 6 is in need of some good stories after the (in my opinion) disappointing last arc, new Torchwood: The Story Continues would be an instant pre order and if I'm wishing then let's have a Jodie Whittaker/Mandip Gill return!

I've gone for six releases, hope that's alright. Strange to see the Sixth Doctors stories, once the highlight of BF's output, not doing so well (early days yet of course). My interest was killed by the ongoing uninvolving Hebe adventures, but at least it's more money to spend on Doctors 1, 3 and 8. I do hope Blake's 7 isn't dead in the water - come on, BF. Bring back Avalon and fashion a few adventures around her. Torchwood Monthly Ranges are always worethy of investigation.
And yes, I'm always happy to get clobbered by a 'surprise' release, of which I'm sure there'l be a few.
{Spoiler}
Dark Shadows, anyone? |

Top of my 2024 list are of course the 3DAs.
Closely followed by the 1DAs this year, I like the sound of the set very much. And also the 2DAs especially now Jamie is reunited with his Doctor, as he should be.
And no doubt there will be others, there usually are.  (If they give us a new Benny set I'll be on it faster than you can say 'trowel'.)
I forgot 'Sontarans v. Rutans' of course - let battle be joined and may the best despotic military regime win! In other words, I hope they both lose!

Star Cops and Classic Doctors, New Monsters IV have been on pre-order for a while now, so looking forward to hearing those in the next few months.
Gallifrey : War Room, The Doctor Chronicles, The Paternoster Gang and The War Master : High on my list of must haves, but probably around the time they are released.
Sontarans and Rutans : I'm going to wait and see what the reaction is before I consider buying - the lack of enthusiasm for Once and Future this year has certainly given me cause not to rush in on this one.
The Doctors : I'm hanging back on ordering any of the nine ranges until the summer mainly due to the dreaded backlog, but also like Sontarans vs Rutans to gage reaction to the new releases.
And while I sadly suspect it won't happen, if an as yet unannounced New Adventures of Bernice Summerfield or Worlds of Blake's 7 boxset was confirmed I'd be more than willing to surrender my card details.

Currently my main picks are Sontarans vs Rutans, the 3DAs, the Paternoster Gang and Star Cops. Other ranges have my interest, but with a limited budget currently, only a few or ones I plan on getting around release.

Have just ticked everything except Thunderbirds.
Kind of worrying . . .

I got pre-ordered the 3rd, 6th and 8th Doctor adventures as well as the last 11th Doctor set, the Paternosters and Sontarans vs. Rutans. - The 3rd Doctor stories have been pretty good for most of their run and they are always enjoyable for me.
- I just have to give the Sixie stories another chance, even if I have NOT made myself to listen to any of the sets from this year yet! I know, this how little I was impressed.
- The 8th Doctor stories have always been a highlight for me, so looking forward to them next year.
- It will be pretty sad to arrive at the last 11th Doctor set, this was a great run of stories!
- Paternosters also have been pretty great in the last set, so having high hopes.
- Sontarans vs. Rutans- I am just curious about this. What are the chances it turning out as much of a non-event as Once and Future? |

Eight (regular and Time War) and Nine are the only guarantees for me. Benny, if she returns, is a third. The others… we’ll see.
Spin-offs I get the feeling will be a bit different this time around. It feels like there’s some kind of restructuring going on, especially with a new site coming along.

The Third Doctor Adventures have been consistently great, so I'm absolutely looking forward to what's in store for 2024. I'm also pretty optimistic about The Second Doctor Adventures after this year's set and I'm hopeful next year just builds off that momentum. The Eighth Doctor Adventures have always been a must-buy for me too and I like the new direction for both the Time War era sets and the regular sets.
I'm also hopeful Sontarans vs Rutans is good and does well so we can hopefully get more mini-series like this in the future.
Oh, and I would really appreciate getting some more news about the Fugitive Doctor sets, specifically maybe a release date - and hopefully a date in 2024 rather than sometime later!

I'm sure we'll see the first of the Call Me Master and/or Fugitive Doctor sets in 2024 (crossing my fingers just in case), but I don't think it's outlandish to think we might get our first BF Thirteenth Doctor adventure this year as well. I expect it might be a short trip, like it happened with Twelve, so I can't wait to hear what the 2024 plans are for that range to see if my suspicions are correct. An Audio Novel could also be a good place to start. I don't think she'll get a Chronicles set anytime soon. Who knows what'll happen to that range, tbh.

Huge thanks to everyone who has voted in the poll. When I created this thread, I thought I'd be lucky to get 10 responses. I never thought it would get to 36 and counting! Voting will stay open until mid-February if people would still like to participate or change their votes. It's been great watching the results come in. The 8th Doctor is obviously continuing his 20+ year run of being the "go to" audio Doctor. My word, there are a lot of you who are buying every range with a Doctor in it! Where do you all find the time to listen to them all?  For my part, I'm probably going to stick to the 4th, 5th and 7th Doctors, Classic Doctors New Monsters, War Master and hopefully BF will surprise us with a few more Lost Stories. It would be nice to get some more 5th Doctor Lost Stories. Not sure he'll ever catch up to Colin's excessive number of releases, but we can hope he'll at least catch up a bit. Hope everyone has a great 2024. |
