Just out of curiosity, is anyone else into the audios?

I went through a period where I listened to a whole heap, but then I ended up listening to audiobooks instead, so I haven't managed to work my way that far into Big Finish's backlog.

I'm not......yet

Have any suggestions to start with?

Nah. I wish I was, though, because I can always use more Colin Baker in my life.

[Ameriganastan]

Just out of curiosity, is anyone else into the audios?

No. Cause it's 2015, and we have this thing called television.

Jubilee.

You know the episode "Dalek"? It was based on this audio, and is nowhere near as good. But, ah, just a work of warning: Jubilee is quite dark and messed up.

Oh yes, Jubilee. I agree completely. On both subjects. But I loved it to bits.
Also, LIVE 34! It's like Doctor Who and Welcome to Night Vale mashed up in the best of ways. And Doctor Who and the Pirates. Just... yes.

The Chimes of Midnight anyone? Also Iterations of I was one of the first ones I listened to which I thought was amazing. Also Spare Parts.

I'm currently addicted to Bernice Summerfield, which rather explains my username/nation. And yeah, Chimes of Midnight!

Oooh Me! Me! I love Big Finish!

Ahh, a man after my own heart, Likes CoM and Spare Parts.

But Ameri, Subscribers get more at Big Finish!
Also, Big Finish Doctor who is an area completely untouched by Moffat.

Yes, we’re putting our face in a happy place filled with butterflies and cake.
Yes, we’re putting our face in a happy place filled with butterflies and cake.
A place with diseased rats and people puking in their hats, it’s really not the kind of place to be.
And if you take my advice, you won’t do things that aren’t nice, and fill the world with jollity and glee.

EDIT- okay, that was extremely random, I guess. In my defense, it made sense at the time.

[Ameriganastan]

Well, I feel relaxed.

Sadface.

I hope for the best, but we need to get him in a few more Doctor Who episodes soon just in case!

John Hurt is going to cure cancer with his fists.

He's 75. And the one year survival rate is only 20% I hate to be the downer, but this is probably his curtain call.

[The Romulan Republic]

I hope for the best for John Hurt.

Also, while it feels incongruous to post this right after the last bit of news:

Moffat is being made an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.

That's the thing Queen Lady refuses to give Michael Grade, right?

I'm not actually sure how I feel about this.

I don't know.

Moffat wouldn't be my first choice for this sort of honour, but I guess he's popular and high profile. Plus I'll admit he's written the odd good episode (Blink and Day of the Doctor particularly impressed me).

What, no mention of "The Empty Child" two-parter?

"The Empty Child" and "Blink" are both great episodes, though neither can hope to come close to the religious brilliance that "The Day of the Doctor".

To be fair, "Day" cheated.

[The Romulan Republic]

The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances didn't much appeal to me.

Blink, though, had a great new villain and a clever, fairly logical plot (a rare gem in Moffat's work). And Day of the Doctor was a masterpiece that distilled fifty years of Doctor Who into an epic that honoured the show's past while redefining one of its most critical moments and taking the show forward. It is, quite simply, Moffat's masterpiece for Doctor Who.

I'd consider "Blink" a classic if that was the only appearance of the Weeping Angels. But they kept bringing them back, and made them lame.

I don't think they're lame even now. Some of their episodes are better written than others, but the Angels are still interesting and scary. Basically, they're the only Doctor Who monsters I'd put on par with the Daleks. Well, them and rogue Time Lords like Rassilon and the Master.

They were scary. Once. Then they kept popping back up, developing retarded new powers, and turning into generic slasher villains basically.
