In my head I said ‘ok we’re going to pick top 5 for a challenge’ but actually the first 50 are nowhere near the best in the range to me. All my real favourites are still to come in the next 225!

I’ve not even listened to all of the first 10, so it’s easy for me to check the ones I like lmao

I am only up to 36, but I’ve voted for my favs. I recon I’ll be the only vote for Minuet in Hell. I love that story. Such camp fun.

Chimes is probably my favourite DW story period so…

There are also polls for each set of ten up to this point. Plus, I don’t ever plan on closing these, so feel free to take your time.

For now, having only done the first twelve and all the eighth doctor stories from these, my favourites are the apocalypse element which I spent a lot of time thinking about, mainly all the implications it has for Romana, Neverland and Zagreus which are insane and I love for that, the fearmonger because it’s a thrilling political story and the chimes of midnight because it never fails to move me

I thought I would make a top 10 list because lists are really fun. The order is pretty malleable, though!

#10: Master
#9:The Marian Conspiracy
#8: The Fires of Vulcan
#7: Loups-Garoux. I truly think this one is so underrated, I adore its magical realism!
#6: The Holy Terror
#5: The Fearmonger
#4: Doctor Who and the Pirates
#3: The Stones of Venice
#2: The Chimes of Midnight: The first three episodes are hilarious and scary and the final episode, where Edith chooses to live, makes me so, so happy.
#1: Creatures of Beauty. All the Audio Club hounds know I love this story <3 it breaks my heart every time.

Special mention to Seasons of Fear which is just a joy.

Oooh I can vote on this now because I’ve finally listened to all 1-50! :confetti_ball:

I just voted on the ones I gave the highest ratings to, because a lot of these I can’t even remember now :joy:

In release order, not preference order:

  • The Marian Conspiracy
  • The Chimes of Midnight
  • Neverland
  • Doctor Who and the Pirates
  • Master

Still torn on Zagreus.

That is an acceptable list (even if the 5th Doctor is cruelly ignored).
