What order to listen to the 8th Doctor Big Finish Audio Drama
So I've seen lots of people asking what order to listen to the 8th Doctor audio dramas produced by Big Finish. There are some really good listening guides out there, but they're out of date.
So I present to you the 2024 8th Doctor Episode Chronology!
If you love the 8th Doctor or want to explore his stories but have no idea where to start, this is the list for you!
This is a living document. I haven't listened to everything yet, so some bits may need editing. It follows 8's personal timeline from his travels with Charley Pollard to his experiences in the Time War.
Comments are welcome and please share this link around :D

Be honest. If Tech is still alive, would we even recognise a face reveal since he won't be wearing his goggles?

I want to take a moment to applaud The Bad Batch for its disability rep, especially Crosshair in season 3.
The tremor? The frustration of not being able to make shots he KNOWS he could once upon a time? Shaking out his hand as if that will fix it?!
To see a character with the same tremor as me. Who has the same ticks as me. To see him struggle between what his brain knows in practice, but his body won't let him achieve.
That means a lot.

I Have Found A Solution!
So, obviously classic wizard robes aren’t wheelchair friendly. (Alright, admittedly this isn’t common knowledge and also this definitely isn’t a problem for most but listen, this is a problem for me and I’m pleased to present a solution for it nonetheless.)
The issue is in the sleeves and the length of the robes. The traditional trumpet style allows them to get snagged, dirty, and caught in the wheels.
Tumblr media
This is distinctly not an issue with other mobility aids such as canes and crutches, these wizards are fine to carry on with their trumpet sleeves simply rolled up if needed.
Tumblr media
Now, one solution might simply to shorten the sleeves and hem to be out of the way, but that looks rather silly so I won’t do that. Instead I propose the more elegant design of a hanging sleeve to maintain that flowy magical feel while allowing for better range of motion.
Tumblr media
Honestly I just love the look of hanging sleeves in general and think more people should appreciate them, wheelchair user or not.
Tumblr media
In conclusion…

This is why physical media is still so important!!!
Shows you should save physically immediately
Over the Garden Wall -- It's being pulled from HBO Max on August 31 and knowing HBO, there's a chance it'll be pulled sooner. *I have now made a Google Drive of all the episodes of OTGW. Please, please, please, PLEASE, save these on a physical device.
The Owl House -- Disney has tried to bury this show many times (giving it a weird release schedule, cutting the budget, etc) and has even cancelled the show. Also, Disney+ is going to nuke their catalogue soon and I doubt TOH will survive*I have now also saved all the episodes of TOH. Click here for the posts with all of the episodes
Amphibia -- I know less about the behind the scenes BS than TOH but Amphibia was screwed over by Disney mainly by poor promotion. Also since one of the protagonist is openly bisexual*, like TOH, I really can't imagine this would survive.
Steven Universe -- Cartoon Network cancelled Steven Universe and gave it a weird release schedule, it has also just been pulled from HBO Max.
Gravity Falls -- Once again, Disney+ is going to nuke their catalogue at some point in the future and between Wendy being canonically bi, Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland being in a relationship, and Alex Hirsch (being the amazing man that he is) constantly calling Disney out on their BS, I imagine that Disney would be more than willing to nuke Gravity Falls.
and most importantly
Every single show, book, game, fanfiction, movie, etc you've ever loved
We now know that at any moment's notice, streaming services can and will just nuke their catalogue without hesitation. If it's digital, it can be removed and there's a likely chance you'll never see it again.
So, please take some time to save anything you love on an external device. It could be a box set (it can be official or fan-made one), a USB, or anything.
If you have a physical copy of something, it's yours forever and no one can take that away from you.
*Edit because I’ve seen some confusion about this. Read this again, it’s “one of the protagonists” not “the protagonist.” Sasha is the one who’s bi, Anne’s sexuality hasn’t been confirmed.
Also in addition to this, people have reblogged this to say Steven Universe is still on HBO. Since I don’t have HBO, I’ve been going off of what people have been saying and I’ve seen it mentioned that HBO was taking off SU. You should still save it though.

I see your sadness that we only get one more episode with Tennant as 14, and I raise you a "what if the regeneration happens midway through the episode?"

I like dogs, I like character design and I like Doctor Who.
This was inevitable.
Also gonna add a list of the dog breeds because yes, I enjoyed at least an hour researching dog breeds for this and some of them deserve more love:
Seventh: Basset Hound Fourth: Irish Water Spaniel Thirteenth: Golden Retreiver Sixth: Poodle Second: Scottish Terrier Twelfth: Scottish Deerhound First: Shih-zu Tenth and Fourteenth: Jack Russel (also, has anyone noticed that they literally swapped the colours on their clothes around?) Fifteenth: Africanis

Cabin Pressure Update from John Finnemore’s Flying Visit
So I was lucky enough to go and see John Finnemore’s stage show in Birmingham last night and it was excellent! It featured many favourite sketches from Souvenir Programme, some brilliant new material and (let’s be honest) most importantly, an update from Arthur Shappey himself about how everyone has been doing since Cabin Pressure ended! You should all go see the show if you can, but if not, SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT. (But for those who have seen the show, not the one we were told not to tell ;) )

One thing I love about the aromantic community is the collective desire to deconstruct societal perspectives on what love, relationships (particularly friendships), or basic human connection can look like or be expressed.
Unfortunately, I sometimes forget that other people (particular cis het individuals) haven't done this. Language shifts meaning depending on your perspective and it can make it so hard to express to people you're close to that they are important to you, without them getting the wrong end of the stick.
Like, surely I can tell my best friend that I care for/am fond of them? Nope, apparently that can be misconstrued as romantic attraction and upset a perfectly good dynamic.

OP expresses perfectly what I've been trying to articulate for ages
My best friend is so charming, and while I care for him very deeply, i was struck the other day that I literally can't love him in the way that he wants or needs.
He's never pressured me for romance, always respected my boundaries. But if this were a story, it would be so easy just to step over the friendship boundary into romance.
But i cant. And in it's own way, it hurts.
Because if I cant feel romantic love for him, then I know I'll never ever feel it.
And while I'm okay with that, i can't help but mourn it a little too
i just want to let everyone know that feeling sad or disappointed that you’re aromantic is okay.
it’s a difficult thing to come to terms with your sexuality, especially if you’re aspec.
it doesn’t make you any less aromantic if you are still trying to accept it, or if you feel disappointed because you are.
it has taken me a long time to accept my aromantism, and i’m still working through it.
none of us are any less valid than other aromantics

Why is it always Australia?!
The knock on effect for stores like JB-Hi-Fi is going to be awful 😬
Disney is going to stop selling DVDs and Blu-rays in Australia and to think of what this means for accessibility, residuals, quality, public libraries here etc and the precedent this will set for other studios and distributors around the world oh it's never been more over

I'm seeing a lot of gifsets, but no actual links!
Here's the link to the official Doctor Who youtube channel where the Classic Who Season 20 remaster trailer dropped, book-ended on either side with some Modern Tegan scenes :D
