i really want to listen to the big finish stuff but i'm not sure where to listen to them? do they cost money?? bc i cannot afford that (also is there an order to listen to them?)
Hiya Esther! And yayy I’m so happy you want to listen ^^
Right, so basically you can buy all of them on bigfinish.com (which does cost money and is quite pricey :/) BUT there’s also a load streaming for free on Spotify! That link should take you to all the Doctor Who dramas <3
About the order: Most of them have some kind of story arc going on, but there’s also plenty of standalone stories! From the ones on Spotify, there are two main “starting places” that I recommend:
Blood of the Daleks with the Eighth Doctor and companion Lucie Miller - it’s an introductory type story and you don’t need to know anything about Eight to get into it ^^ It’s episode one of The Eighth Doctor Adventures, and the rest of season one is also on Spotify. It’s New Who-style in length and format, so the stories are ~40 minutes long and mostly standalone with a season-long arc.
Storm Warning with the Eighth Doctor and companion Charley Pollard - again, you don’t need to know anything about Eight to start here. The difference here is that these episodes are more Classic Who-style (~2 hours running time but divided into four “acts”). These are available up until the episode Zagreus on Spotify.
If you’d like recommendations for standalone stories, let me know :) (The ones on Spotify are mostly Classic Who, there’s Ten and Donna audios though but you have to buy them on the Big Finish website.)I also use this guide sometimes (there’s a lot of stuff my dude it’s easy to get lost haha) but yeah I hope that helps? This got so long I’m sorry aah but I hope it’s useful ^^
