Plot twist, it’s actually an adaptation of “Dalek”

I’m glad these are a thing now. I hope this range steps outside the safe favourites from the early monthly range and goes for a good variety from Big Finish’s history, and is able to expand on them nicely to warrant the double dip for those of us with the performed version. I find the novelisations a hard sell in general over unique-to-prose adventures otherwise. Just give me a contract now and I’ll adapt any of the Fifth Doctor Adventures range from the last handful of years and I will mine everything possible out of it. Even the ones I wasn’t so crazy about.

I still think we need a new regular range of new original novels featuring 1-13, written for adult reading levels like the PDAs and EDAs.

That would be incredible, but highly unlikely, while at times not as direct as the VNAs (at least from the Things I heard and read of both Range) I doubt BBC Books would allow this Level of Maturity/Subject Matters again, then again who knows? They are more likely to go darker with the classic Incarnations, as shown in the Goth Opera Adaption and a few other BF Releases of recent time. The NuWho Doctors, I can hardly see that happening.
Agreed! But I also think they will probably stay adapting monthlies, so I highly doubt they would adapt any Stories from any of the Boxsets that we got, at least for the Moment. Still hope they won’t play the safe route and do all the fan favourites and not anything else

Which one of his novels did you read, may I ask?

The Raw Shark Texts. It was a lot of fun! You can definitely see him developing the ideas he would use later in his Big Finish stories, about words and language.
I’ve heard Maxwell’s Demon is even better but I haven’t got round to that one. I’d like to, though!

I feel that The Harvest · Main Range • Episode 58 · TARDIS Guide would be a good candidate for this new “Big Finish Novelization” range. For those who aren’t aware, the plot revolves around a group of Cybermen attempting to regain their humanity for the tactical advantage it presents. I feel that being able to explore this is prose could greatly expand on the concepts.

I hope Shearman gets weird structurally with the Chimes novelisation. So excited for these!
I think Zagreus could be a fun novelisation if it goes really strange and experimental with format

Why am I thinking of something like the Day of the Doctor or The Giggle novelizations with this? What is it about anniversary stories that make for really interesting and experimental novelizations?
