I
get asked the same question by a lot of different people. While I don’t
mind answering them as Big Finish is something very close to my heart
and the reason I write big Finish articles is to get more people to
listen to them. But a lot of the time, I don’t have the time to reply
back a shortlist of good-great stories people can go out and buy. So I
decided to rank every 5th- 8th Doctor story before We Are Daleks and
give them all a ranking according to what my listening experience was.
I decided to use the 5 star scoring system and while I rate a story based on how good I objectively find it, I do also tend to be bias about how much I enjoyed it so don’t expect my scores to line up with yours. This is my ranking system. We are allowed to like/dislike different things. It’s no big deal. This list is just my way of answering those questions people have who want to get into Big Finish, but aren’t sure which stories they should buy first.
Because let’s be honest…there are duds and we don’t want to buy duds. They are kind of like mines: We want to step over them as much as possible. So take a look down below and please like and reshare. It’s just one click and it could mean a lot to someone else.
