The Sixth Doctor Adventures: The Cosmos and Mrs Clarke

To be Released May 7th!

Even though it hasn’t been released, I’m feeling a pang of excitement and wanted to create this thread anyway. (I’ll edit it later).

The body swap/mind swap trope isn’t something I gravitate towards, but “The Key to Many Worlds” is the story that does sound the most appealing to me because of Marco Polo and Tonio. I’m hoping Six gets his body back by the end of the audio because I do like that physique the best on him. I’m glad they chose Constance as his companion because she’s one of my favorites. I’m interested in hearing how their relationship grows in this audio.

Reading over the synopses again, “The Story Demon” could also end up being my number one. If Six gets to flex his bibliophilic side, it definitely would be a strong contender. I can never get enough of that.

:musical_note: Let’s talk about Six, baby.

Yeah if you can please add the polls at a later date that’d be great, I had this thread already drafted for the day of release..

Really looking forward to this one :slight_smile:

I’m so excited for this boxset. I love that all three episodes appear to based around the theme of storytelling!

The Story Demon and Inconstancy both look like they could be great, but of course I’m a Magrs lover and I’m especially looking forward to The Key to Many Worlds. I’m so looking forward to hearing Iris again!! It’s been sooo long! I’m also intrigued by the idea of Marco Polo and his boyfriend!

Honestly, May from Big Finish is looking so good. (It’ll be a much-needed respite from exams for me…)

This will be my second story with Constance, as I’ve only done The Last Adventure with her before! Really excited to hear more of her, and I am just absolutely buzzing for more Iris!!! It’s been far too long since she last appeared in a full-cast.

You need to listen to more Constance! She’s great.

I do!! I find the MR to be massively overwhelming, but I’ve been tackling it in order recently so I’ll get there eventually if I continue doing it in order.

I considered listening to The Wormery again to prepare for Cosmos, but it’s so long. Recently I’ve only been relistening to shorter audios.

I could listen to a Constance one instead. The Lovecraft Invasion is her shortest MR…[1] I’m totally just dumping my thought process into the comments.


  1. I’ve already listened to The Darkened Earth short trip a few weeks ago, so that’s out. ↩︎

That’s my problem with the MR tbh, hard to binge loads of them. I feel like I’ve done more just with how many hours I’ve put in :sob: The Wormery was one of my first audios and maybe even my first MR? I’m not quite sure now come to think of it, but I remember loving it.

The Main Range is so hard to binge

Very! I am finding though with doing them (finally) that I can see the benefits of this format for the range. Personally I got into BF circa box-set mania, so I’m used to it, but there are limitations. I think the 8th Doctor set with Albie’s Angels really hits a sweet spot, having a comedy story, a really heart wrenching story, and a normal Who story.

Its easier with the sets to just pick and choose than go oh here’s release 168 :sob:

Sorry, taking us off topic lol.

The box sets are definitely easier to listen to

I like it when the box sets contain unrelated stories (like Star-Crossed or Six and Peri Volume 1) as opposed to the Hebe sets where you have to listen to them all in order because they follow one arc.

You can just pick and choose what you want to listen to, as you said.

True! I defo think there’s a nice middle ground to it, like have an arc, then unconnected sets, then an arc again maybe. I’m more of an arc lover so I’d love another Hebe-style arc with Sixie and a different companion if they do another!

I could binge the MR all day :person_shrugging: but it does help when you have an excellent stretch like all of Connie’s stuff <3

I ĥave done all of her stories

Just realised this one is coming out on the day of my first exam!

I probably won’t manage to listen on release day (going climbing afterwards, yay!) but it’ll be a great reward for getting through it the day after. :confetti_ball:

I’ve got this one ordered on the basis of it including an Iris Wildthyme story, but haven’t yet listened to a single Constance story :face_with_diagonal_mouth: I need to get my bum in gear and listen to Criss-Cross at least.
