(Lighthearted) If the Audio Adventures were Missing Episode?

[A Barron]

I was listening to some of the Big Finish Audio stories recently and I was thinking how in a way the missing have been reduced to audio adventures, but for some with surviving tele-snaps. I then started thinking, what if in another universe - all the Audio stories were made as televised episodes and were then lost with only the audio surviving. If that were the case which audio story would you want to find so you could watch? (This all depends on you having listened to any of the audio stories)

I think I would want to to find:

1. Frost Fire - I would love to see the frozen Georgian London done on a sixties budget
2. Mother Russia - I would love to see the Russian Village and more of Steven and Dodo
3. Daughter of the Gods - First and Second Doctors fighting the Daleks and Katerina there too, I would love to see that.

Which Audio stories would you like to "Find"?

I would not be surprised if "one day" down the road that some Big Finish story's get the animation treatment as an experiment. Just a few mind you not the whole lot. I would not mind seeing an animated "Spare Parts" as an example.

I'd be interested to see what that talking penguin looks like! (Or was that in the books only?)

Frobisher has been in audio stories although has mostly been in comics.

I had not thought about finding other Doctor Who media as well as just the audio adventures. That could be fun.

The expanded universe is quite fun. I first got into it when the series ended in 1990 and the Virgin New Adventures started continuing the adventures of the 7th Doctor. I personally find some times the expanded universe is better than the TV series.

I'd like to see the Sixth Doctor story 'Blood Tide' returned to the archives. 

Colin Baker's Doctor is a splendid incarnation and like many fans I felt he was short-changed by the show in many ways until this story from his final series. Amongst it's other merits this was the first time he insisted on ditching the multi-coloured outfit he was no doubt strong-armed into for his earlier stories. From the surviving photos, I liked his more restrained Edwardian appearance in this as well as the excellent plot combination of a cell of surviving Silurians in the Galapagos coinciding with Darwin's visit aboard the Beagle. 

I never saw this one on its original broadcast but when I heard it as an audio adventure I assumed it was one of those exceptions where the visuals as shot would not disappoint as the Beeb, remarkably, stumped up for actual location filming.

I do like Colin's Doctor. It would be great to "recover" the audio dramas that were based on stories from the cancellations around series 23. Meltdown/Power Play with Victoria Waterfield, The Nightmare fare with the Celestial Toymaker, Mission of Mangus, with the Ice Warriors, etcetera...
