I love the various Unbound stories (except Exile and He Jests at Scars but they at least have hot takes to build a story from), but I've held off on getting the new First Doctor Unbound stories so far because I don't really understand what the gimmick is. Those of you who've listened to them, how are these different from any of the other Big Finish David Bradley audios? The only thing I can see in the promotional material is a claim of difference in tone, but that doesn't really see very apparent when you read the blurbs or listen to the trailers.

Do these feel like Unbound stories at all? And what is the difference in continuity that means they can't just be set in the main universe? Also, are they any good and worth picking up?

What are your favourite or funniest Big Finish examples of characters meeting each other before their established on screen meeting?

I’m thinking of things like River Song having already met Doctors we never saw her meet on TV, the Doctor meeting the “wrong” incarnation of the Master, or stories that reveal two characters have crossed paths somewhere in the Doctor Who timeline that we simply weren’t aware of

The more ridiculous the continuity gymnastics, the better.

What are your favourites?

I was at the last Long Island Doctor Who convention over the weekend and Philip Segal said that the TVM movie rights are back with the BBC after 30 years. That was brought to the attention to Daphne Ashbrook and Jason Haigh Ellery who were both there as well.

Does this mean we might finally be getting Grace and Chang Lee over at BF Towers?

Would be cool to see some sort of natural carry on of stories right after the TVM with those characters. As long as they weren't some of the more continuity breaking idea that were presented in the Leekey Bible. Easily a few box sets out of this! Fingers crossed!

David Tennant is set to return as the Tenth Doctor in twelve new full-cast audio adventures, released bimonthly from August 2027. The first three of these adventures form a trilogy in which the Time Lord is teamed up with a friend of a friend – Rani Chandra (Anjli Mohindra)!

The three new adventures follow the Doctor and Rani as they investigate cryptids in modern-day Cumbria, discover a crisis at the coronation of Elizabeth I, and crash the set of a 1970s sci-fi show. For the aspiring journalist, it’ll be work experience like no other…

Thinking about tomorrows release of the finale of this 12th Doctor run, it made me wonder which other releases I have been this excited for.

I remember being beyond giddy for Hex's stories in the main range. As we got closer to Gods and Monsters, the worse the waiting became. Otherewise it was Victory of the Doctor.

Anyone else got some they remember vividly?

Tenth and Fourteenth Doctor DAVID TENNANT discusses his extraordinary career and the new series of audio adventures in which he stars alongside Rani from The Sarah Jane Adventures played by ANJLI MOHINDRA.

Anyone keeping up with circuit breaker? Going to pick up the audio in September. I’m having fun with it but it does leave something to be desired on some releases. Still been enjoying

I have a few that I've made posts about in the past.

What about you?

Are we ever going to see the recent additions (Juggernauts, Next Life, etc) rationalised and included with the 2017 uploads or have they just decided to say, nah, can’t be bothered

I purchased Second Death individually, but now I see I need the bundle for the entire “Run Fast, Be Kind” because the rest of the episodes are not sold individually. When I try to purchase them, though, I am told:

“One or more items in your cart are no longer available to buy. Please remove them and try checkout again”.

Is there anything I can do here? And preferably today, since this was a surprise gift for my wife? 😅
