8th Doctor's audio adventures recommendation

[Sindatur]

There are a number of references in the Charley adventures (most notably in Neverland) that the Doctor has met Mary. Plus

Spoiler: Terror Firma

The Silver Turk is clear that the Doctor meets Mary while on a break from Samson and Gemma, which he travelled with immediately prior to Storm Warning according to Terror Firma.

Thank you, I've only heard the first 3 or 4 Charley Stories, Neverland, Zagreus and Shada. And I thought I remembered a mention of Mary Shelley to (Or in front of) Charley.

What I find abominable about Omaha Star's list is that he does not count Grace as a companion!

She isn't an audio companion, obviously. Though the actress has appeared as other characters, Grace is not among them.

Do you think she was making googoo eyes at Yates last month in Worlds of Doctor Who?

Sure Mike was already invested in a different woman, but that doesn't stop her from looking.

I love the McGann audios! It's like a TV series with McGann, just without the visual aspect, especially post-Charley when they changed the format. My first was Shada (the actual CD!), which I loved. I've experienced most of the Charley adventures and Lucy's first season, plus The Silver Turk with Mary Shelley. I haven't bought one in a few years, though, due to money constraints, but I'm really hankering to get back to it. As I like to do things in sequence, I'll probably resume with season 2 of Lucy, but I'm eager to listen to Dark Eyes. It sounds like a great series and I just adore Ruth Bradley.

1 - Mary (follows almost immediatley after the movie)
2 - Series of short-traveled companions, some of whom appeared in "The Company of Friends"
3 - Charlotte (and then with C'rizz)
4 - Lucie
5 - Tamsin
6 - Molly (as of Dark Eyes)

You're not the only person to go with this order. Though the 'short-travelled companions' I believe to be from the novels?

I started this year, but I've only got up to Zagreus, but that whole first 'season' with Charlie is brilliant and I can't wait to get stuck into more. But I'm using the fact that Capaldi is on right now to pause for a few months.

Well, it has Chimes of Midnight, the best of the Eighth's audios, and one of the best stories Big Finish has ever produced.

Its also one of Moffat's faves, and one can easily see why - its so lovingly paradoxical.

<----- I should point out that my av features the eighth Doctor and Charley, in a scene from Scherzo.

I'm only talking about audios. I have very little experience with the novels and comcs. There have been references to other companions sprinkled through the audios, and The Company of Friends is a set that has four stories, one each with companions we had not heard before, all set before Charley.
