20 years (well, nearly) since a gamble of a decision… a risk of an opportunity… and a lifelong dream of many coming true…
In July 1999, Doctor Who fans were introduced to a little audio drama called The Sirens of Time, and as a result, many learned of the name Big Finish for the very first time… (if they didn’t already get the Bernice Summerfield audios that is)
Fast forward nearly 20 years, and Big Finish has grown immensely since those early days, not only taking on Doctor Who, and a menagerie of licensed and original spin-offs, but also many other licensed ranges, from Terrahawks to the Avengers, from The Prisoner to Star Cops, from Survivors to The Omega Factor, and many, many more. In fact, the main problem now is not getting it out there, but rather finding the time to listen to all of it…
And that’s the predicament I find myself in. After five years of collecting and sale hunting, I have finally managed to get a hold of every major Doctor Who release from Big Finish in their twenty year history!
And I’ve barely listened to half of it!
Thankfully, I’ve a solution to this. I’m going to make it my mission, by this time next year, to have listened to all of the main range stories in Big Finish’s Doctor Who catalogue, one a day for every weekday at the very least! Showcasing some of the best written, acted and created stories of the entire history of the Whoniverse, not to mention some of the most memorable, intriguing, experimental, and downright demented!
I myself can think of no way better to celebrate and showcase the true genius of Big Finish than to finally take on its mammoth back catalogue! And as always, we start at the best place… the beginning!
THE
YEAR OF BIG FINISH STARTS NOW!!!!!
RASSILON, HELP ME...
Good luck.
