Big Finish Doctor Who Companion Chronicles sale

[vivdunstan]

Big Finish currently has an up to 50% sale on its Companion Chronicles series of Doctor Who audios. Many are available to buy only in download form now, but they are offered DRM-free, in MP3 and M4B formats that you can download to keep, as well as play in the Big Finish mobile app. The current sale runs through until 23:59 (UK time) on 5th May 2025.

The Companion Chronicles audios from Big Finish audios are reduced cast audio plays, told usually by a single main companion, with a small additional cast added on. This works surprisingly well, and they are IMHO one of the strongest series of audios that Big Finish ever produced. Each Companion Chronicles story is typically about an hour long.

Ones reduced in the sale that I would especially recommend are, focusing on the lower priced ones, all available as downloads for £1.99:

• Frostfire, set in Regency London, with 1st Doctor companion Vicki. One of my all time favourite Doctor Who stories ever.
• The Transit of Venus, an adventure for the original TARDIS crew, narrated by Ian.
• Find and Replace, with an older Jo Grant meeting the 3rd Doctor again. Plus bonus Iris Wildthyme. Phenomenally moving.
• The Magician's Oath, a story from 3rd Doctor companion Mike Yates, with surprising emotional heft.
• The Mahogany Murderers, that would form the template for a spinoff Big Finish audio series starring 4th Doctor friends Jago & Litefoot.
• Solitaire, 8th Doctor companion Charley Pollard meets the Celestial Toymaker. And the Doctor is a ventriloquist's dummy ...

There are other fantastic stories in the range. But for just £1.99 each I have no hesitation in recommending any of the ones above.
