Doctor Who TV Show • Page 46

Can confirm that Hooklight parts 1 and 2 are incredible, it's easily an instant classic. I've been the same in wanting actual good DW lol so I'm diving back into Big Finish a ton and the books again

I've been going through 11th Doctor chronicles again. which are easily as good as anything Matt Smith had in the show, and his companion, Valarie Lockwood, has become one of my favorites. I've also been listening to the 8th Doctor Adventures again and forgot how good those were. They'd be a good way to jump into Big Finish and (I think?) they're all available for free on Spotify.

 

yeah the 8DAs are fantastic for newcomers and how I got into Big Finish back in the day. Lucie Miller/To the Death is still the best Dalek story in the show's history imo if not just one of the best in general

 

also @JoshShulkin would you say Hooklight has prerequisite stuff in the stories before or is it kinda standalone?

 

There's no prerequisite stuff! Hooklight is maybe the fourth 5th doctor story I've ever listened to lol I went in just being familiar with the companions from the show

It's a minor thing, but I'd recommend finishing Hooklight 1 before looking at the cover for Hooklight 2, if you can. The cover has a spoiler for the end of part 1
