In 1999, Big Finish Productions launched their first official Doctor Who audio play, The Sirens of Time, marking the beginning of a new era for the series. Designed as both a celebration and a revival of the classic show during its televised absence, the early audio dramas brought back fan-favourite Doctors and companions in brand new adventures—this time for the ears rather than the eyes. What began as a niche curiosity quickly expanded into a vast audio universe, with hundreds of plays spanning different eras, genres, and spin-offs. With contributions from a rotating roster of writers, actors, and sound designers, the Big Finish Doctor Who range continues to this day, adding depth and nuance to the show’s legacy. Join Ali as we dive into the entire collection—from the wobbly beginnings to the absolute gems!
