If I enjoy this (which I probably will), I’ll check out some of Foley’s other BF audios.
Any recs?
Hooklight is great, but a bit of a commitment.
Archipelago (from 9DA:Star Crossed) is a great character piece with 9 and River.
Dark Gallifrey: Morbius is pretty good as well, very atmospheric.
Honestly, in my experience, you can’t really go wrong with Tim Foley
So many! He’s a fantastic writer.
Some of my favourite stories of his; Friend of the Family, Pursuit of the Nightjar, The Gulf, and from the War Master range: The Long Despair.
And if you want a bit of Torchwood, two great standalone Foley stories are Rhys and Ianto’s Excellent Barbecue (my personal favourite Foley story) and Tropical Beach Sounds and Other Relaxing Seascapes Volume 4!
A great great audio that
Have to echo what the others have said, Foley is great!
I think TrakeniteAdventuress and taraoftraken have covered most of my recommendations already - in terms of others which are relatively standalone, I’ll add The Merfolk Murders (the season 19 team have to solve a murder in 1940s Scotland with no sci-fi or supernatural elements) and Morbius the Mighty (Doctor Who does Moby Dick, with Morbius as Ahab and the War Doctor as the white whale)[1].
You really can’t go wrong with Tim Foley though - in about two years, he’s become maybe my third favourite Doctor Who writer of all-time? His output is honestly insane.
Technically this is a sequel to Dark Gallifrey: Morbius, but I think it will mostly make sense without it, if you’ve seen The Brain of Morbius ↩︎
I love this one.
Absolutely, it’s become a bit of a comfort story for me (despite being about an actual murder…) - I love the interplay of the season 19 team, the side cast, and the setting and tone of the story. It actually made me want to visit St Andrews, which is a place I’ve never really thought about going otherwise.
Every few years we get a new great BF writer, first it was Dorney and now it’s Foley
And I’m next (in my dreams)
I propose that I, a man who has rarely finished any writing project he has ever started, become the next Tim Foley!
How, you ask? Uhhhhhh…
Get in line, I’m first! (I also never finish my writing projects)
Maybe if the whole forum chants our names Last of the Time Lords-style, we’ll somehow write great audios? Actually practicing writing definitely won’t help, what a silly suggestion!
Bah! What rubbish!
Let’s all open a new google doc together
Step 1: Sit down to write
Step 2: Procrastinate
Step 3: Forget about it and do something else
Step 4: ???
Step 5: Profit
Can’t relate I’m great at finishing stuff silence unfinished WIPs you don’t count
Would Pre-order. 100%.
Everything I start ends up like this
I would buy 10 copies of anything you wrote and then hand them out to my family and friends
This is how I pay rent for living in your cave
