All the Audiobooks - Round Two

I mentioned a few months ago how much I love audiobooks.  A press of a button and instant story right there to enjoy as you cook, clean, garden or have a long and leisurely soak in the bath.

The BBC produce a a lot of my favs but another company is also just as good - Big Finish.  Yep it's all about the B's here.

If you're into science-fiction then Big Finish is a definite must.  Especially as their collection of titles are so good.  Like extra super good.  Even better they bring out new titles every month.  EVERY MONTH.  Which is just so awesome but also kind of dangerous because if you're anything like me you'll be tempted to buy as many as you can. Fortunately for my bank balance I manage to restraint myself - just.  Though that doesn't mean that my collection of titles is small or not growing.  I just hold myself back a little and be a bit picky as to what to get.

So what's in my collection...

Stargate SG-1 Part One and Two

The very first audio's that I ever listened to and OMG these are sooo good.  Totally helps that the actors who performed the roles in the TV show are the same actors in the audio.

Probably one of my all time favs.

Bernice Summerfield

A time traveling archaeologist.  Is it any wonder that I love this series.  

Exciting and also kind of dark at times this series of audios will get you completely hooked.  No surprise that I have all one hundred episodes.

Why no one has ever turned this in to an actual TV series I have no idea.  Time travel.  Space travel.  Strong female character.  It just ticks all the boxes.  Someone please make this a show.

Doctor Who: The Eighth Doctor

Writings these down I'm realising how hard it is to pick a favourite because they are all sooo good.  As with the Bernice Summerfield series I have every episode of the 8th Doctor's adventures.  Paul McGann is just brilliant in this role.  Probably the best Doctor Who ever.  Or at the very least tied with David Tennant for the top position.

The rest of the cast are pretty amazing too.

Torchwood

If you've watch Doctor Who then you'll know all about Captain Jack Harkness.  Even more so if you've actually watched Torchwood because you'll also know about the rest of the team.

This audio series fills in quite a lot of the blanks and yes it is seriously good.  And yes I know I keep saying that.

One of the few audio series that has made me cry.  Like literally sob buckets.  Because Ianto is in some of the audios and his and Jack's love story is just beyond awesome.

Vienna

Bounty hunter extraordinaire, this series is just sooo much fun.  Less darker than some of other Big Finish titles this series follows Vienna Salvatori on her various adventures. All generously paid for of course.
