But the story of Big Finish and Doctor Who begins with a gang of friends – all fans – who knocked up their own totally unsanctioned audio plays for fun. Originsīig Finish releases are officially sanctioned by the BBC (so, yes, they're canonical – characters introduced in the audio plays were even referenced in the Paul McGann-starring online minisode ' The Night of the Doctor'). You just need to close your eyes… and imagine. Big Finish's output evokes almost every era of the BBC's long-running sci-fi – from 1963 to the present, right down to authentic music and sound effects – and can be every bit as thrilling, emotional and scary as the television series. If your experience of full-cast audio drama is limited to Radio 4's The Archers, well, this is nothing like that. But if you expand your horizons beyond the small screen, that number is much, much higher.įor close to two decades, Big Finish have been producing new episodes of Doctor Who featuring original cast members – on audio. To date, almost 300 Doctor Who stories have been televised, spread across more than 800 individual episodes.
