I suppose audio stories are nice but they should really consider a live action mini series spin off. I mean, they aren't making SJA or TW any more, so why not some other DW related stuff that can air when DW is off to keep it out there? (and yes, I realize audio is cheaper, but lots of people really aren't interested in audio stories)
It seems that the BBC itself isn't interested in televised spinoffs at the moment. If they were, we would have them, either from Moffat or another producer if Moffat declined to produce the spinoff.
As a number of people have pointed out, myself included, there's no reason a Paternoster Gang spinoff wouldn't be doable on the cheap-ish; just reuse/share the Ripper Street sets. (I personally don't want a Paternoster Gang spinoff, but I see how it could be done.) Since nothing like this has emerged, it appears that the Beeb wants to put its resources elsewhere.
Hmm.. Intriguing comment there.. Any thoughts on a good show runner that would be a good choice to helm a "UNIT Defenders of the Earth" spinoff? I would vote against RTD tho.. Not the style I can see for the spinoff series.. Moffatt is tied up with WHO, so who would be a good choice instead?
