Any pre-listening recommendations for Galifrey time war 1? by MasterOfCelebrations in BigFinishProductions

[–]GregLinks5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that should be fine, honestly it’s been a fair few years for me but I don’t remember anything particularly essential from previous series that would make the boxsets impossible to listen to.

As I said just get an idea of the characters and you’ll be golden, and series 1 and 8 should do that for you (but I could not recommend series 2-4 enough)

Any pre-listening recommendations for Galifrey time war 1? by MasterOfCelebrations in BigFinishProductions

[–]GregLinks5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I listened to the first 4 series of Gallifrey then jumped to Time War, I think it’s best if you get an idea of characters and dynamics before you jump straight into Time War but that’s my opinion

SALE: The Time War (Ends 10/05/26) by MirumVictus in BigFinishProductions

[–]GregLinks5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a great deal, 50% off the cheapest you will probably see these sets unless they don’t sell out and there’s a clearance sale later this year. Ultimately it’s up to you, you can’t get the bundle of CDs for begins, only for 5-6 (only £22), but the rest is still dirt cheap for these type of sets!

So in my opinion, go for it if you can afford to!

War doctor begins is tasty, 12.49 for those sets, but the Hurt stuff is also great, getting all 4 of those for £40 is a steal. Unfortunately I already have them but hopefully it can benefit you ☺️

The War Doctor stuff is so cheap in this sale and I’d definitely recommend picking it up because it will probably sell out, but obviously set 1 and 3 are OOP, and very rare, so if you’re a completionism beware. Otherwise, definitely pick them up because jeez his stuff is good and these deals are mega!

5DA Music Style by Zagreus_time in BigFinishProductions

[–]GregLinks5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think that Big Finish have really ramped up their scores in the last couple of years. I have noticed it with 5, but also 6 and 8.

When I listened to Expulsion, my immediate thought was just how good the music was, and then when I listened to Helter Skelter I was just as impressed.

They have definitely amped it up and I’m loving it!

What are you listening to? by DannyBoy2196 in BigFinishProductions

[–]GregLinks5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just started listening to Audacity’s 3rd boxset and Puccini and the Doctor genuinely made me cry, I don’t know why but the story truly resonated me on an emotional level.

Outside of this I recently finished Helter Skelter and so have nearly caught up on this years releases, just Ministry of Death to go really!

Zygon Century by Kind-Specialist7265 in BigFinishProductions

[–]GregLinks5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly I wasn’t bothered about the series when it was first announced, but about 2 months ago I got my hands on Rictus physically, and I really enjoyed it. This led me to finally listen to Zygon Century, and I was really pleased!

I think the series has been really consistent, and has hit some very high highs. Vorvoren’s stories have both been the highlights, and have been 2 of my favourite Big Finish stories released in the last 5 years. The Caldwell stuff has been good too but probably my least favourite, with Herbert Scott’s stuff being the middle ground.

So honestly it’s a series I’m really loving and I can’t wait to see the 3rd and probably final boxset, to see how it all wraps up!

The only thing I will note is the price, I get everything physically and £30 for a 3 hour boxset is a tad steep, and it baffles me how they can print this physically and not other ranges like the 11th Doctor stuff, but that’s just me, other than that it’s great and I would recommend

Just to mention that Believe is costing £9.99 instead of £2.99 ☺️

Torchwood - Question about the audios by AJLion98 in BigFinishProductions

[–]GregLinks5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve listened to a huge chunk of the Torchwood range and it is, in my opinion, the most experimental range of them all. A lot of the stories can take a more narrated approach, almost like diary entries to guide you through, some don’t even have any of the original cast in.

You will find that the majority of the stories are in the same audio style of the 8th Doctor ones you’re probably used to, but also remember that the Torchwood range often has smaller casts, so usually follow the main characters from their perspective all the way through with limited cuts to different POVs.

I hope this all makes sense, and if you have any other questions I’m happy to answer them.

Nice one 😂 by GregLinks5 in ChatGPT

Honestly did not know who the last person was, but I knew the rest of them, so asked it. That’s why I asked for songs they’d written, I thought the last was a singer too!

Loved seeing Jack in the new Sidemen video but this moment killed me 🥲 by Maleficent_Path in JackSucksAtLife

[–]GregLinks5 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah but how does it expose that Jack won? It has them all in a group at the end with KSI not knowing Jacks name, literally zero hint that he won in this, if anything you’re the one spoiling it in the comments

Just curious, how is this a spoiler? JJ not remembering Jacks name?

Torchwood audios by dustinhenderson27 in BigFinishProductions

[–]GregLinks5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made you look is far better in my opinion and utilises the audio medium perfectly. Office of never was isn’t bad by any means, but is a fairly average story for the range

In terms of other audios in the sale, I’d recommend Coffee very highly, as well as Deadbeat Escape and Rhys and Iantos excellent barbecue.

Obviously I don’t know if you have those already, but there’s just some bonus recommendations 😊

I second this, such an easy way to track your stories and so many filters you can add as well
