Now that we’ve made through the first fifty Main Range releases in Audio Club, I thought I’d make this new poll. What are your favorite stories in the first fifty Main Range/Monthly Adventures from Big Finish? If you have thoughts, feel free to jump into the Audio Club and tell us about it. Remember, you can pick as many as you want.
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!
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.
