- Doctor Who has always been known for its massive presence on TV, but there is actually another, equally impressive presence...Big Finish. Today I thought I'd take a look at the first 3 Tenth Doctor Adventures boxsets (there are some real gems in there!)

Regarding Billie Pipers performance, I 'm pretty sure that she said herself about returning for the season 4 episodes that she had lost touch with the character of Rose and had trouble getting back into it. Not sure about the details.
I'd seriously suggest listening to "Rose Tyler: The Dimension Canon". It blows almost all of these stories out of the water, redeems Rose on audio, gets dark as hell and Billie Piper turns in one of her best performances as Rose. Please, you won't regret it.
I love Time Stamps. Thank you for putting them in.
I mean, the only reason we kept bugging you about Jubilee, Spare parts and Chimes of Midnight is because they are so damn good, (and free on spotify).
Listening to Chimes on Christmas Eve so I better not be let down..
@@HarboWholmes You won't (I hope) but have you listened to other 8th doctor and Charlie audios
I'm clued in on the Charley context so I can apparently just jump right into Chimes because I know about that specific plot point already
@@HarboWholmes Oh right, well I hope you enjoy it, will you be doing a review?
They are brilliant!
Nick Briggs demands a sacrifice. Pledge your soul to the eternal Nick. Praise him.
I just want to say to people that just started Big Finish, don't let it deter you if you find some non-memorable, unremarkable "filler" episodes - particularly in New Who (sorry, don't wanna be a downer here). There is some quite gems there, not just the story but also the story telling - like in the Torchwood's Sea Soundscape, where the entire episode is just Michael Palin narrating you on self-relaxation.
Anyway, nice review, Harbo. The Time Reaver part is super true, the world building in it made me wish if only Doctor Who had a Mandalorian-level budget.
Can't wait for your next BF review!
#McGannGang
The War Master and Missy ranges are New Who, and pretty uniformly great, but yeah, most of the other New Who stuff is on the weaker end of the spectrum.
@@Netherfly would war doctor count as nu who because personally I feel that only the monsterous is one of the best things BF has put out
I miss the 10th doctor era so much 😔.
Same here. It's the best era
RTD, David Tennant, and Catherine Tate was and still is, the best thing to happen to Doctor Who. (New Who, specifically speaking)
RTD is by far the best writer out of the three we've gotten so far.
Donna is my favorite companion and we will probably never have a better one.
And finally, The 10th Doctor will ALWAYS be my Doctor. The best of the best. (Sorry T Baker fans, plz don't hurt me lol)
No. Is a bit overrated.
I've honestly never listened to any of the Big Finish stories. That might change now...
8th Doctor. Lucie Miller. That is all.
If you get the app then go on the website while they’re mostly part ones there’s plenty of Free Content!
@@tardisglitch547 yes
.. agreed...
Lucy miller...from Blackpooooool
Hell Doctor Who isn't even just cemented in British culture now it's cemented in World culture I've met fans from everywhere America Mexico Canada
French here, would love to hear Big Finish's audio drama^^
Anyone outside of Britain or isn't from there is cultural appropriating British culture FYI. As you know big finish thinks that is bad. I don't even know why they let people outside of Britain buy them.
@@mc-zu6bo ooo weee wooks wike we got a butt hwrt sjw on hands
At 0:18 why does it say 'The End Of Time - Part Twot'? 🤣🤣🤣
I seem to always make at least one mistake with those titles. At least it's not End of Time - Part Twat, though haha
@@HarboWholmes when I first read it I thought of Part Twat lol
I was gonna point that out too xD
One of the best 10th Doctor stories is an audiobook called Pest Control, it's a pretty bog standard plot, but the sound design, music and Tennant's narration give it such an atmosphere and make it chilling at times.
9:11 I'm really resisting a Torchwood reference right now
Big Finish Content!!!
I’m surprised that the Weeping Angels of Mons didn’t make the list! Excellent concept for a story that ties in with Mons history. Albeit I a comic, I’d love to see it adapted!
Thank you for bring this. Big Finish audios with Tennant, Billie and Tate is amazing. And now in 2021, have so manny incredible stories like Dalek Universe, 1, 2 and 3.
If you haven’t already, Listen to Out of Time with the 10th and 4th Doctor! A fantastic Listen at a decent price.
Wasn't expecting a video today since you normally upload on Tuesday.
Bonus video!
@@HarboWholmes Extra content is always good, so thanks!
I'm so glad you're tackling Big Finish. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Big Finish Torchwood series, or even some older spin-offs like Iris Wildthyme and Sarah Jane Smith. Ooh and since you seem to like the Eighth Doctor Adventures, I'd love to hear about those too!
You should definitely listen to The Forever Trap. It's not Big Finish, but it is read by Catherine Tate, and she does an excellent job capturing the Doctor's voice and mannerisms.
One of my fav Doctor Who audiobooks is Dead Air.
No Place sounds like the unfinished 10th doctor who story I heard where the doctor joins a ghost hunting group wile donna would be watching at home
you listened to nekromanteia as your first big finish? I am so sorry you had to sit through that, I wouldnt be surprised if that was enough to permanently put someone off.
Well people talked about it like it was some filthy degenerate smut-filled disasterpiece so I skimmed through it for the meme but it was just boring, so I'm glad I only skimmed through and didn't properly listen
@@HarboWholmes well i wouldn't go that far ar the very least, but it is boring garbage. There are worse audios, I'd listen to nekromantea 5 times before i give "the dark husband" so much as skim-through again.
I really liked it.....partly because me and my mum acted in a crowd scene.
James Goss is the KING of New Who Big Finnish 👌🏼
First Big finish stories I listened too, pre ordered myself a vinyl for the 9th doctor adventures and I can’t wait!
ah yes, social commentary... totally what i want when seeking an adventure to give me a temporary escape from this space-time 🙄
This might sell me on tracking down and listening to these
especially since I could always use more Doctor who in my life
The End of Time - Part Twot.
Personally as someone whose start on Big Finish was the 10DAs, I have to say they're mostly solid but not as spectacular as some of Big Finish's other stuff (All of the Robert Shearman stuff is absolutely incredible, and you owe it to yourself to listen to Jubilee if you enjoy the episode Dalek)
The recently released 10 and River boxset is again mostly solid, but I really enjoyed Expiry Dating
Is there a way to access these Big Finish stories on the other side of the pond?
19seconds in ... "Part Twot"... Now that's a new one
death and the queen is literally my next BF story, i was supposed to watch it today, what a coincidence
In my opinion Donna was the most impactful companion on the doctor
I like Big Finish. Better than the show sometimes. Except Nekromenteia.
Bernard Cribbins birthday is on the 29th of December. Any chance we could get a thread of happy birthdays for the big man himself?
Happy birthday to Bernard Cribbins 👍🎉🎊wish we had a chance to tell him how much Whovian appreciate him
Happy birthday cribbins
This was great man! I agree but I found Sword of the chevalier an easy listen than infamy. I now am interested in volume 3 and will go order. Do more one day. Merry Christmas tho to
dang, I'm early. Haven't listened fully but can't wait to!
It's a bit of an odd one, and my only real dabble into Doctor Who audios, but I THOROUGHLY recommend Dead Air by James Goss. Tennant is playing every character, as it's told by The Doctor in a recording made after the story has finished. Absolutely gripping and I loved it as a kid. The CD should be fairly easy to get?
To be honest when I first saw that discord writes doctor who thumbnail, I thought it's supposed to be about big finish stuff
0:15 I think I missed that one. What happens in Part Twot?
I want to get into the Big Finish stuff so badly. So. So. Badly. I just can’t justify the cost to do it. It is so expensive in the long run.
There are over 100 free stories on Spotify
@@blobfish5730 whaaaaaat!? Important question. Does that include 8th Doctor stories!?
@@mazzucac Yes
You can listen to Jubilee, Spare Parts and Chimes of Midnight on Spotify
@@jaimej40 beautiful. Thank you all for this amazing information!
Could you release the videos on audio format on Spotify so I can listen to them while in the car or on a walk
You can get youtube premium
I saw the original title. You can't hide the shame.
what was it
Where can one listen to these?
Holy shit, the vegan Spare Parts comment is literally me.
If you enjoyed these, I’d also suggest UNIT new series. They’re another great new-who esc series, that was my first big finish audiodrama.
The UNIT stuff is consistently strong.
Explain this Alabama Harbo Gummies.
So wait, where do I go to listen to these?
I’m elated to explore extra Doctor Who adventures, especially with Tenant.
Ive been watching Doctor Who on HBO Max but if I figure I’d have to pay for these somewhere else
the pirate bay
When your so fucking badass, Death Itself wants to marry you
the end of time part twot?
This is what has always puzzled me. From the way you have spoken about the show and done your reviews I have always concluded that you can’t have ever listened to big finish. And yet you are an 8th Doctor fan, which means you must have listened to at least his big finish stuff. I don’t believe that he can be your favourite Doctor from the TV movie alone. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.
I only really jumped on big finish recently myself, prompted by the weekly lock downloads they have been doing. Started with the Eighth Doctor and Lucie Miller series (Sheridan Smith is excellent as the companion). Then went on to Dark Eyes and Doom Coalition before checking out the monthly range. I’ve been reluctant to go back all the way to listen to Charley Pollard and Evelyn Smythe stuff, because they have been hyped so much I fear they'll be a let down (and frankly it’s too expensive to listen to everything!).
I will say that most of the stuff I’ve listened to is brilliant. There are some duds, but that’s to be expected. For the most part the classic adventures do a lot to improve characters that were badly written in the actual show e.g. Mel Bush (the computer programmer that never did any computer programming), the Sixth Doctor, Peri, Leela (as much as I liked her on the show they’ve given her much more depth in Big Finish). If you ever get a chance to check things out I would definitely recommend.
You can actually get started on Charley and Evelyn stuff through Spotify - all of the first 50 main range audios are on there
@The Adric you may want to include Zagreus before Scherzo for the context of how they got there and what's going on
@The Adric I enjoyed it a lot, but I can see why some people don't enjoy it
Do a review of energy of the daleks from the fourth doctor adventures
#WarMaster fan represent. Big finish is gr8.
All hail the war master!
The effect of those "time reaver" guns sounds very much like the time dilation induced by certain psychoactive drugs from several different categories. Rather than write a monograph, I'll just say you had to be there.
There's actually over 3x as much big finish as there is Classic Who
yes because it started with 5th 6th and 7th, added 8th added 4th and in 2016 added 10th, and 9th came on board last year, not to mention voice actors for 1st 2nd and 3rd
Big Finish is great, but i'm not actually English so... I don't understand most of the script😑
0:14 End of Time Part Twot
at 0:16 it say's the end of time part twot,The true title of the episode
I would love to listen to these but dumb question where tf do you listen to them
There are lots of free ones on spotify, but if you want some of the more recent ones, www.bigfinish.com
@@blobfish5730 thanks cyberblob

Great video! What are your thoughts on the Tenth Doctor and River Song boxset and the 10th Doctor Chronicles?
Certain big finish fans being like aggressive vegans is surprisingly apt haha, their in your face nature can be rather off putting but the thing they’re promoting is actually good.
Great reviews as always!
It's not unfair to say we can be like that sometimes, but despite becoming much more popular recently big finish is still relatively niche and often feels like it's not taken seriously by quite a lot of fans. So the aggressive promotion is more a way to make sure people don't write it off.
There was no stone rose audiobook there
That's not Big Finish
I'm hoping Martha Jones and Donna Noble Goes face off against the cybermen
that vegan remark lol; I'm sure Jubilee is as good as everyone says, but I barely remember it. I haven't even tried Spare Parts, despite it being essentially the main one for some people. Cybermen on audio deeply unsettle me.
Best place to find/purchase/listen in US?
The first 50 serials of big finish's monthly series are free on spotify as well as other works of doctor who by them
You can also buy them digitally on their website
The CDs are made expensive cause of the delivery charge. Unless you can find them on eBay for a cheaper cost.
Well Holy Carp!!! Audible has them!!! I searched for DOCTOR WHO: THE TENTH DOCTOR ADVENTURES
spotify amazon ebay (at quite reasonable prices too)
Why did u change the title 😤
The End Of Time - Part Twot (2010)
❤️
Explain who the voord are
Briggs for showrunner
Briggs is head of big finish, might being pushing it heading TWO productions, big finish is as good as it is because he DOES concentrate on it
Billie Piper did try her best in the tenth doctor adventures volume 2 she really did.
Jubilee is that good, though.
😁
BOOKS!!!! Read!!!
Someone should animate them, and I don’t mean the crappy animation they do to reconstruct the missing episodes, no, I mean similar to the style of something let’s say Rick and morty, or something along thoes lines
That is a stupid idea.
@@mayotango1317 no, I don’t mean in the exact style, just better than what they are, though I feel you’re just disagreeing with me for the sake of it, but it could be more along the lines of the Simpson, or even death dote perhaps, but the current animation style is crap
Give me a reason why it’s a stupid idea and I may have a true debate about it, but at least back up why it’s stupid
@@Rajesh-Koothrappali What about imagination.
@@mayotango1317 what, I mean sure it could be different that what I suggested they were just examples, I didn’t literally mean LIKE RnM or anything… you take me the wrong way, could he 3D could be completely AI or CG, just not what they are now, I think they are bland, not really that smooth, I’ve seen better indie and solo TH-camrs make better animation that the “classic animated” set
@@Rajesh-Koothrappali Animation sucks if you had imagination.
16:50 sorry, what? Donna is not gay. What do you mean.
I haven't listened to it, so I wouldn't know for sure, but I assume other characters in the episode were gay, and Donna is supportive of them, and confused as to why anyone wouldn't be supportive. You don't have to be gay to be supportive of the LGBTQ+ community :))))

Kind of disappointing, no mention of any of the books or comics at all, would have been better to have added big finish adventures in the title.
Oi don’t start on the vegans!!
First ?
There is nothing wrong with cultural appropriation.
Why are Big Finish audios better than the tv show? This is why I hate Big Finish, you could have something like Blood on Santa's Claw or the Isos Network be on Tv with the current tardis team and have lines suited to their character.
You hate it cause it’s better than the current era?
Because they iron out a lot of the problems with past Doctors and companions; and they also allow past Doctors to have more stories without interrupting or interfering with the current show. Doctors like 6 and 8 often have a bad reputation due to the little content they have, and it's a great way to add more content into those Doctors' timelines and giving the actors another shot without the behind the scenes issues that were perhaps present at the time they were doing TV.
Often times I do ponder a what if Big Finish ran the show, however I stop myself for two reasons. One, Big Finish excels at world building within the uses of audio cues. I like audio stories as they require an engagement on the audience's part to imagine to some extent the settings that are built by the sound designers, It's less passive that watching a tv episode. And Two, I enjoy the War Master range specifically, because it took what small glimpse of a 5 min performance seen on screen and extrapolated it into a ever growing and universally expanding story without traditional limitations both in DW universe or Our Real World. These being such factors as strict censorship, choice of intended target demographics, and the actual cost of filming a television serial(budgetary stuff). Big Finish is like riding a bicycle without training wheels as the writers are allowed more creative freedom within their work and are insanely clever with how stories can be told. Bonus Thirdly: I don't need to watch my phone to enjoy these stories, as they accompany me while I work on things that need doing. Also well put +@@blobfish5730
@@DoctorTardis100 also they can use the assumed knowledge of the show to give stories that rely on more niche knowledge
If you think cultural appropriation is a problem and don't practice what you
preach you are a hypocrite of the highest order. That means if your not Italian
you can't eat pizza, if your not French you can't eat escrow, if your not from
Mexico you can't eat Mexican food. And if your mixed race then pick one or
starve.
Bottom line if you say one group of people can't like the same things as another
group because they differ in race, or country of origin, that is fine, that is
okay. It just makes you a racist.
These are still full of poltical correctness which has bled from the main show in recent years. Sooo sick of it.
Wait for RTD.
James Goss is the KING of New Who Big Finnish 👌🏼
