  • Good info about Big Finish.

    Previews rather then reviews of Big Finish productions. The presenters can sound a bit smug.

  • I know its pretty much a long advert for bf but I do appreciate the behind the scenes content. Not everyone has the money to spend on all the products and sometimes feel this is sometimes trying to guilt people into buying everything lol. Also the price for any of their new catalog is way too expensive now for so many people, myself included. Oh well. It was fun while it lasted.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Thirteen Pistols
Q: What was the biggest challenge in adapting Turpin for audio?
Managing storytelling without narration while keeping momentum and character depth across ten fast-paced episodes.
Thirteen Pistols
Q: Why reinterpret Dick Turpin as a more morally complex figure?
To explore the environment and motivations behind his actions, presenting a grounded, authentic period drama rather than a romanticized highwayman legend.
Fourth Progress
Q: Before we begin, any questions?
The hosts invite audience questions and proceed to address production details, releases, and the mechanics of the Randomoid Selectatron, as well as discussing the featured Fourth Doctor Adventures.
Fare Well Torchwood
Q: How did Fare Well come together as the Torchwood finale for the monthly range?
The episode was conceived to provide a meaningful send-off for Torchwood within Big Finish, integrating long-running character arcs, the tonal balance of drama and mature themes, and collaboration with established Torchwood contributors like Joe Lidster, James Goss, and Scott Handcock to ensure it felt authentic to the Torchwood spirit.
Thirteen Monks
Q: What was the motivation behind the Aegis script's structure?
The writers aimed to weave together strong character arcs for the Doctor and Yaz while embedding a larger sci-fi premise about the Aegis Protectorate and its trojan fleet, balanced with sharp humor and overarching themes of trust and betrayal.
