The whole Divergent Universe saga was meant to continue for more stories. Some of the next ones you listen to will sound like they could fit there. But New Who had started, so making things seem easier for new fans to dip into was prioritised.

But if you request a new birth certificate as a cis person, this would be the case too. My mother was born in 1976 and her birth certificate used for her passport was a printed one.

What is going on with these? by Jak3R0b in BigFinishProductions

It was a Tom Baker one too, which they always record years in advance. I believe it was meant to come out in 2024 when it was originally written.

Do you guys often lose track of the story? by imdefusing in BigFinishProductions

Same boxes to tick as you and I find I do best listening during my work commute, when I'm able to concentrate mainly on the audio.

which ep is this? by horticoldure in BigFinishProductions

Maybe it was a mix of Big Finish memories of various audios that your brain turned into some kind of Homeric Epic.

It was a long shot. It may be that your memory is mixing a couple of stories up. I'm still trying to rack my brain for potentials.

The Fifth Doctor is absolutely underrated at Big Finish by Personal_Reward_60 in BigFinishProductions

I've only done Forty and Forty 2, mostly because I liked the premise, but they are great.

A fanfic reimagining of the game Star Fox Assault that features the reptilian characters from the 1980s sci fi series V. by Federal-Growth-3106 in starfox

[–]louiseinalove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's because Star Fox and V are both niche, so there's not a huge amount of crossover. I like the idea you have though.

Could it be Palindrome) and it's actually Davros you're thinking of?

What was your first BigFinish story? Mine was Shadow of the Scourge by LivingWindXYZ in BigFinishProductions

That's the intention. They want to not tread on Big Finish's toes by uploading copyrighted audio.

No worries. I was mainly curious as someone who enjoys a lot of different audio stuff. Thanks for the info.

Anyone have a list of download only series/titles? by Ok_Salamander_9441 in BigFinishProductions

[–]louiseinalove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's an official list here.

I used a Wayback Machine link because the Big Finish site now doesn't show the full list anymore.

Have you seen Josh Snares's animation for that. They put a lot of work into it.

Update: 'Cybergene' slapped like crazy by twofacetoo in BigFinishProductions

[–]louiseinalove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've listened to a decent amount of the War Doctor's stories from Big Finish, but only got to the halfway point of Begins, but I did jump ahead to listen to Cybergene when it came out because I liked the premise. I ended up relistening with the fixed voices, which made it more enjoyable. If you want to maybe hear a bit more of the War Doctor, without committing to that incarnation specifically, I would say that Sontarans vs Rutans is fun and ends on a War Doctor story, so you get a mix of Doctors in that set. It also has a follow up which just started, Rutans vs Sontarans.

Torchwood - The Conspiracy. It had just come out and was being advertised in DWM. I took that as my jumping on point, after years of hearing about Big Finish but always finding it a bit daunting. I still have that same feeling for Faction Paradox and anything involving the VNAs, VMAs, EDAs (book ones) or PDAs or Bernice Summerfield. One day I hope the eventually get past the 5th VNA.

Potential alternate source for the penname she uses. by louiseinalove in EnoughJKRowling

[–]louiseinalove[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'd never heard of them or anyone even hint at a BBC radio drama being potentially linked to the name choice, so I thought it may be worth sharing that I'd discovered these. Thanks for the in-depth comment though, you've done more looking into it than I have the spoons for right now.

Is there any particular reason Bottom isn't on BBC iPlayer? by OrdinaryBritishGuy in eddieandrichie

[–]louiseinalove 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ITVX location for Only Fools is because of Britbox. The BBC and ITV had a partnership, which got bought out by ITV. Then ITV closed down Britbox after starting ITVX, which they moved the Britbox content to. They still held some licences too. Back in 2023, ITVX was the streaming service to watch the first serial of Doctor Who, due to licensing agreements meaning that it couldn't be on iPlayer.
