Series 6! Series 6! Series 6!

I may add, as a Gallifrey stan this is a poll I am conflicted on. But the lack of S5-7 fans makes me go for that

Iām going to have a semi-long car ride with my mum tomorrow and would like to try and introduce her to BF, so I need recommendations for what to start with. Ideally it should be something Iāve already listened to (check my profile), about an hour to an hour and a half long. She watched all of New Who but no Classic or Spinoffs, though I think that itāll be fine to go with one of those as long as itās a good jumping on point. What would you guys recommend?

Looking through the audio drama youāve completed it looks like youāre stuck with either Torchwood or McGann for things youāve already listened to. Iād therefore say The Fearmonger, Storm Warning, Chimes of Midnight or Blood of the Daleks.
If youāre willing to branch out a little, Iād recommend The Marian Conspiracy with Six and Evelyn, Technophobia with Ten and Donna, or Out of Time with Ten and Four.

I did definitely consider The Marian Conspiracy, as I started listening to that about a month ago but ended up not finishing it for various reasons. The main reason I donāt want stories I havenāt listened to is because I donāt want to have to buy them. Thereās also the matter of me not being able to explain whatās going on if my mum gets confused and itās my first time listening.

Ah yes, I know the feeling. Unfortunately that does kind of limit you. Unless your Mum likes Torchwood.

My mum has not seen Torchwood, and I doubt sheād enjoy it if she had. Also, it would be a bit too awkward to watch together.

Then yeah, that does limit you. Are there Doctor Who audios that you own and havenāt listened to? That might give you more options. Otherwise, The Fearmonger, Storm Warning, Chimes of Midnight or Blood of the Daleks are probably your best bets. I saw that youād listened to the Lives of Captain Jack, but I donāt remember enough to recommend them.

Well, anything free to stream is an option, of course. I also own the first three Gallifrey series but I want to wait until I finish the first 50 Main Range audios before I start those. I also have assorted Short Trips, and Iāve yet to listen to Relaxing Sea Scapes even though I got it back in November.

Sea scapes was good. I was looking on Spotify and thereās a lot of decent ones as part of the Into the TARDIS podcast. Death and the Queen with Ten and Donna was good, Energy of the Daleks is a Four and Leela story, Fallen Angels is a Fifth Doctor/Weeping Angel story with a pre-Master Sacha Dhawan.

Finished At Childhoodās End today, I have another, non-Doctor Who book lined up next but will need some help deciding on what to go for afterwardsā¦

Iām currently reading Heroes and Monsters but looking ahead to what I want to read next. Iāve settled on completing either one of two sequences.
- Option 1: I want to read through the āAmnesiac 8 on Earthā arc for the EDAs. Iāve read The Burning so now want to work through the rest of the arc in sequence.
- Option 2: I want to finish the Virgin Benny New Adventures with the Gods arc. Again, Iāve read the first one - Where Angels Fear and now want to do the rest (especially as I want to start on the Big Finish Benny books).
Itās up to youā¦

The English Way of Death is extremely good (even if itās author is persona non grata nowadays).

Anyone got any 4DA recommendations? I recall being very excited at the Tom coming to BF announcement, and I listened to season 1 all those very very very many years ago but havenāt listened to many since other than Curse of Time in January. So would like to get into the range if I can!

I really liked the Solo series! Iāve only heard that one and the one with Naomi/Harry which Id really not recommend.

Yeah Iāve heard a lot of folks generally find the Naomi and Harry stuff weak so Iāve not got much interest! Solo sounds neat though

I started on the 4DAs last week, only listened to the first series so far though. That one was nice but nothing super special, I really enjoy the dynamic between four and Leela (and most of them are free on Spotify, so they have a lower level of commitment for me)

I do recommend doing the Romana I Series, hearing Tamm in the Role again is a blast, the Story are also very fun Iād argue, maybe not the best but there is something comforting about the pairing!
Alternatively, you could do the Season 17/18 inspired Romana II Releases, which are probably my favorites of this whole run from what I have heard at least.
Crooked Man is an excellent one if you are interested in a Leela one! (I still need to catch up with more of her 4DAs so my recommendations with her are very small )

Two polls today. I decided to get help determining what to listen to next. The first will be Doctor Who, the second will be non-Doctor Who. I will probably go with the poll results on the Doctor Who, weāll see on the non-DW (narrator will be a big factor there in the end). And, for once in one of my polls, you only get two votes per poll.
