They’re on fire! Last year and this year have been some of the strongest BF years in a while.

I can get a bit jaded with BF at times, but 2025 is a great year for them - 9 & Rose, 13 & Yaz & more Fugitive to come!

Oh, that new cover isn’t just spoilery, it’s also worse

I also enjoy how the Big Finish announcement page puts the spoiler warning after the big cover image

I prefer the alt spoilery one :see_no_evil_monkey:

Yeah it feels very… last minute?

OKAY SO!

I just listened to parts 7 and 8. The cold open for part 7 was just incredible, and I’m so glad they did the recap. There are SO many moving parts in this story which I love. Part 8 felt out of place but I think its going to fit into the story in a way I can’t predict.

I’m absolutely desperate to listen to this, but I need to get through the workday first, then listen to the last part of Fallen Heroes, so I don’t think I’ll have chance to make a start until tomorrow :smiling_face_with_tear: Wishing everyone listening today a Happy Hooklight day!

I’ll be buying and listening to this either tomorrow or Saturday after I finish Gallifrey Time War 1 :eyes:

Just finished parts 9 and 10. The story just continues to build and build and I can feel the climax of the story is approaching! I don’t want it to end but I need to know what happens!!

Blimey you are getting through it! I am envious but won’t be able to listen until later.

I couldn’t resist doing it all in one :sob: I got up early today so I could start it (almost nearly) when it dropped!

Midway through Part 8, and although I’m not sure where we’re going with this, I’m enjoying it.
As for Part 7, I’m so invested in this story, every answer just leads to more questions.

Hmm. Okay so I enjoyed it, but perhaps I need a full relisten, something I never say or do. While I enjoyed it, I don’t necessarily think it was as strong as part 1. As a sucker for crossovers, I was really disappointed we didn’t get the two Doctors meeting.

Don’t get me wrong it was good, and I don’t feel let down, but it was just GOOD whereas Hooklight 1 was extraordinary. I think 4/5.

I’m at Part 10 right now and I just want to say (minor spoilers ahead nothing too bad but kind spoilery), I never thought we’d get an emotional backstory for Tegan’s fur coat

So consensus is,its good but not as Part 1,i mean thats fine,i dont think we will ever get something like Friend of Family again where each ep is perfect

Well it looks like only 1 person has completed it so far! :sweat_smile:

Give it time lol its only been like 6 hours. I really enjoyed it, don’t take one person as a consensus. Also 4/5 is not bad. I think theres been lots of ranges where each ep is perfect, but I don’t care if its the general consensus or not.
