List of Doctor Who Audio Plays By Big Finish - Broadcast

Broadcast

In 2005, six of these audio plays featuring Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor were broadcast on the digital radio station BBC 7 — these are Storm Warning, Sword of Orion, The Stones of Venice, Invaders from Mars, Shada (originally created for webcast on the BBC's online service), and The Chimes of Midnight. These plays were rebroadcast on BBC7 beginning in July 2006. The Chimes of Midnight was subsequently repeated yet again to round off the massive repeat of "The New Eighth Doctor Adventures" Series 1 & 2 (mentioned below) in 2009.

On January 2007, a new series of Eighth Doctor audio adventures was broadcast on BBC7. These starred McGann and Sheridan Smith as the aforementioned new companion Lucie Miller. There were eight 50-minute episodes in total; the first and last stories were two parters, and the rest were single episodes. These adventures have since been released on CD. In 2008, BBC7 broadcast the second series of "The New Eighth Doctor Adventures" (which Big Finish had already released on CD) bar the final two-part story, perhaps because it ended with a cliffhanger. All fourteen episodes were then repeated in 2009, and the final two-part story later that year. Big Finish has gone on to produce two further series of these Adventures, and four selected stories from the third series aired in 2010.

In May/June 2011, BBC Radio 4 Extra broadcast the Fifth Doctor stories Cobwebs, The Whispering Forest and Cradle of the Snake.

Famous quotes containing the word broadcast:

    Radio news is bearable. This is due to the fact that while the news is being broadcast the disc jockey is not allowed to talk.

    And I’m OK,
    I sleep all night
    And I work all day.
