And Timeslip! I don’t think it would work on audio tho, so probably for the best.

I haven’t read timeslip yet, not in the collection I was reading, I’ll hunt it down though

I’ve only read it because it was reprinted in DWM a few issues back.
A nice little story, but it’s very short, so they would have to add a lot of stuff for making it into an audio.

It could be a short trip, but I have no idea how to make it work. You know, with the Doctor regressing to his past selves without saying much.

Pretty much the entire concept of Once and Future so I think they definitely could have done it.

I believe Timeslip is in the Fifth Doctor collection.

The deregeneration itself is fine, but Timeslip is a very visual story. K9 is taken out of action rather fast and the Doctor doesn’t have anyone else to talk to. And I don’t think purely narration would have the the same impact.

That’s very true…but then Sylvester McCoy wanted a silent movie on audio so who knows.

This thread has appeared at the right time for me as I’ve just started hyper-fixating on DWM comics. After a lifetime of thinking they were “okay I guess” I’ve realised what I’ve been sleeping on.
I’ve started by reading all the new series ones, before folding it into my TV marathon (so I’m near the end of Matt Smith atm). I’ve reserved a mad number of comic collections from libraries across London to cover the older ones. It’s an intimidating amount! I’ve asked Shauny if there could be a badge for reading all of them so who knows…?
I’m reviewing them as I go along, the one I finished today just happened to be my favourite yet: Review of Hunters of the Burning Stone by 15thDoctor · TARDIS Guide
What I’d say is, if you’ve read a few and haven’t been sure, take a chance on some that rate well on TARDIS.guide, there’s a good chance you’ll love it. Perhaps don’t start on continuity heavy stories though, these tend to fall at the end of a collection.

Some of the best stories in the Whoniverse hands down. It’s quite sad that some fans often dismiss whole worlds of Doctor Who - and this isn’t a slight on you at all, just something I’ve noticed time and again whether it’s the audios, the comics, the novels. Every medium has great stories and its amazing how easily Doctor Who translates to different mediums and how writers can use the strengths of that medium to tell unique Doctor Who stories.

It’s a nice thing to discover, as I’ve been buying the magazine each month since 2007, so I have a shelf full of treats!!

My favorite overall is The Glorious Dead, but DWM is full of ten out of ten stories for me. The bar is really high for any othet Doctor Who comic publication cause of them

The Glorious Dead is brilliant and the lead up to it is great too. That cliffhanger with Grace was astonishing!

one of my absolute favourite things from exploring more of the expanded media is seeing stories that just catagorically couldn’t work at all in any other form of media.
Blink really relies on the unnatural lack of visual movement in a way that just can’t be communicated through any other mediums that lack it
Space in Dimension Relative and Time and Four Dimensions from The Eleventh Doctor’s first year with Titan jsut couldnt’ work on TV, and definitely not anything else
The Giggle (the novelisation) is just SO much better than the episode, and it’s entirely down to what they can do on the page (adding a couple of games to add that extra thematics, extra time to get into the character’s heads, that choose your own adventure segment is just incredible).
I can’t pick just one for audio so…
torchwood_cascade_ CDRip.tor being an incredible story about audio piracy that uses that and does a format screw with it, the idea being that you’ve downloaded a glitched version of it so the opening is to a different story, and there’s glitches all throughout to different parts of the story, hell, even to the interviews at one point
Tropical Beach Sounds and Other Relaxing Seascapes #4 being about a haunted self help tape that uses you, the listener, to access Torchwood.
I Am The Master again having The Master talking directly to you, the listener, from a sound studio (he even comments on how good the lunches are)
