Just don't get your hopes up too much - because Barnaby Edwards said on the BF forum thread about this that he's heard nothing about it. And you'd think he'd be a man in the know!
There's been rampaging speculation that Tom coming back as Four is the reason that the Eighth Doctor stories are going back into the main range instead of being a series unto itself. But it's still speculation...
I wouldn't be at all sorry to get a Four/Leela story -- in fact, I'd definitely want to hear it. It's just that I wouldn't be going "Is it out yet? Is it out yet? I want to hear it now now now now NOW!" in the way that I would for a Four/Sarah story.
And a Four/Brig story would be somewhere in between . . .
Maybe we can get Tom, Lis, Louise and Nick all in the *same* story? Because that would be truly awesome.
For me, a Four/Sarah story just isn't the same without Harry. But that's my personal preference.
After the awesomeness that was the Gallifrey series, I'd love to see Tom work with both Louise and Lalla, just to see how Four would put up with the pair. That could be darling.
Sadly, I doubt we'll ever see Tom and Lalla working together again, but setting aside those mundane RL considerations, yes a Four/Leela/Romana story would be wonderful. Has Lalla ever done Big Finish? I don't even know.
I also got more excited about the idea of Louise and Tom back in action. :-D (Sorry!!! I love that Savage.) Well, we'll see, but I wondered after he did the one for the BBC, whether it might start something off.
I'm a little sad though - not about the return of Four, though (although will anyone be able to make Tom behave and, you know, do the script sensibly? :lol: Actually, that IS where you need Elisabeth Sladen...), but BF seem to be returning to canon companions a lot this year. And while one in particular has made me very happy, I'm a little sorry, because the BF original companions were so very awesome. They will give us another at some point, won't they? Or use the ones they have? (Evelyn! Charley!)
I knew about the Charley one. I still haven't go through all their audios yet, but that doesn't stop me sulking at the lack of them.
Charley spin off series? Oh, now I get it. I don't want to seem ungrateful, but I think I'd rather have had a Proper Ending. With Eight. :lol: Mind you... India is rather awesome.

Of course if Lalla is up for an adventure, I might just wet myself up with squee.

And then there's the projected Charley spin-off series...

Yes there's a Charley spin-off series in the works - and how do you know it WON'T have a proper ending with Eight included?? Don't be so pessimistic!
