Yeah even with me having been paid today, I’ve spent a lot recently and am spending a lot on my Switch 2 next month so I’m going to hold back and just get older cheaper ones for now I think
Marking 20 years since the broadcast of Robert Shearman’s episode, Dalek.
Get discounts on his Big Finish stories. Hurry! Offers exterminated at 23:59 (UK time) on 05 May 2025.
Anyone who hasn’t heard Deadline should get it
Fine I will, alongside all the other iconic audios on sale that I’ve never listened to!!!
A sale where I already have everything I want - thank ■■■■ for that!
Me too - on the one hand, phew! On the other… god how much BF do I have
This is the benefit of us being Shearheads
Do any d these audios have prerequisites?
If you have a broad idea of the Charley arc and what’s kicked it off, you can do Chimes of Midnight. Though Storm Warning does help and is a prerequisite if you don’t have that broad idea.
Jubilee and Deadline you don’t at all really
I forgot Scherzo again
If you want to truly appreciate Scherzo, you need to do all of the Charley stories beforehand. You could maybe get away with skipping most, but Storm Warning, Neverland and Zagreus are essential at the very least.
I mean, most (if not all of those) are available for free on Spotify, so no Excuse not to give it a Go!!
The concept of the sale makes me roll my eyes but Scherzo being on this list is hysterically funny
Actually messed up that they did this and I love it, they know what they’re doing
Messed up? No, I think it’s rather beautiful. I need somebody with no knowledge picking it up and expecting something wholesome only to be meet by well.. the horrifying Beauty of Scherzo!
This list is so wrong in the Six department. Arrangements, fine, but there are other candidates for romantic Six audios than just that…
Why is The Wormery even on that list? I don’t remember. Is it because Six was depressed over losing his one true love on Thoros Beta?
There’s the 'romance’ between Six and Bianca! And of course Iris always has a crush on the Doctor.
IRIS: Oh, oh, you’re dead cuddly. Actually, I like this body.
What other romantic Six audios would you recommend?
I don’t remember a Belinda, but I do remember that Iris line and her behavior towards him.
It was mostly a joke because there are a good handful of audios that can be interpreted as fanservice-y between him and Peri.
DOCTOR: [to Peri] I can’t think why you’d want to stay with me. If you do want to stay with me, that is, I might even let you borrow my body again from time to time, if you asked nicely…
But thinking seriously about some audios where romance, love, or relationships are involved, I’d vote for 100 BC, Blood on Santa’s Claw, Not Forgotten, The Ultimate Evil, World Enough and Time, A Most Excellent Match, The Widow’s Assassin, *and The One Doctor. The Curious Incident of the Doctor in the Night-time isn’t romantic, but it is about love.
Not Six, but The Last Day at Work, Jago in Love, Wet Walls, and *Nine’s Star-Crossed set also fit the theme.
I’m a fool; I meant Bianca.
A lot of your suggestions make a lot of sense!
It’s surprising to me how few BF stories primarily deal with romance (though not disappointing as I’m not much of a fan of romance in general).
