What Should You Watch/Read/Listen To Next?

also if you are unaware of how new / current big finish works - they do pre-order prices for stuff that is coming out soon and it usually runs a few months after the release!

Living Legend and Best Laid Plans are the only ones on the list I listened to. I adore Living Legend, but you should listen to a few Eight and Charley audios before listening to it. You can listen to them on Spotify with a free account, but there will be ads. I listened to them on Apple Music. Theyā€™re probably available on other streaming platforms, too. Keep in mind that Living Legend is the shortest of the bunch, only 20 minutes, while the Short Trips tend to be around 40.

Best-Laid Plans is a really solid story, I enjoyed it a lot. I think the concept is really interesting and the narrator does a pretty good Twelve.

There are other good ones in there, but the fact that you havenā€™t finished the Eleventh Doctor Chronicles yet needs immediate rectification.

But yes Torchwood is good, although Zone 10 didnā€™t do much for me, but I am currently going through the main range in order.

Ship in a Bottle is a very good episode too, one of my favourites from 8 + Liv & Helen.

You do relise that putting 11DC on that list means that itā€™s inevitably going to win?

Every. Single. Time.

:joy:

Yeah I did think that. Thing is Iā€™ve realised I just sort of want a one off so I may exclude it from the results.

Staging a vote and then ignoring the results! Thatā€™s not democracy! /j

Okay plans adjusted because we all know what I should listen to. So, Iā€™m going to get Mindbomb out of the way ahead of the weekend and then just plunge into the 11 box set.

Happy now?

Even though I have a huge backlog and I always want to listen to new things, I am so tempted to have a re-listen of 11 & Valarie. Itā€™s so good

This is my problem. I want to do all the 11 ones but I also want to relisten to more of Audio Club than Iā€™ve managed!

Transitā€™s book club thread got bumped up recently so I took some time to re-read everything. Now Iā€™m curious what actually happened in that book.

I can read English faster than a lot of my classmates but not even close to a native speaker, so I much prefer audio. I found a fan-read version on YouTube which seems great but then @MrColdStream said thereā€™s a fan-made full-cast audio drama??? Now I donā€™t know which to go for first. (I plan to listen to both, though. Just help me decide which first)

  • 80min audio drama
  • 8.5hrs audio book

Maybe Iā€™m just impatient and I want to try and complete all the stories before I die but Iā€™d choose 80min over 8 hours any day :laughing:

I also voted for the audio drama. I have no idea how good it is or how good a representtion of the book it is, but from the little snippet I listened to, it sounded fine. The channel has audio dramas for other VNAs as well (and the preludes, apparently).

I am about 50% into the audiobook but have given up.
