What is your favourite Doctor Who story?
ROUND 3 MASTERPOST
synopses and propaganda under the cut
The Lumiat
Synopsis
Missy is glorying in the chaos, hoping that a certain someone might turn up.
What she doesn’t expect is an entirely different do-gooder spoiling her plans and teaching her life lessons.
Because, whoever she is, the Lumiat knows far more about Missy than anyone should...
Propaganda no propaganda submitted
Rhys and Ianto’s Excellent Barbecue
Synopsis
Rhys is planning a lads' night in. Barbie in the back yard, few tins, mates and bants. But the only person who turns up is Ianto – who hasn't been invited. Hell is other people, especially when they've brought board games.
Something goes wrong. The two of them could be trapped together for eternity at a barbecue where the sausages never cook, and worse, the brewskis remain forever out of reach.

Can you do the bf audios thing but with Gwen and Rhys
Of course!
Forgotten Lives (Gwen and Rhys): this one is so weird, Jack’s here technically, Anwen’s here technically, they’re both old people but not really, I wouldn’t recommend it per se but it’s not Bad
More Than This (Gwen): a very solid audio! Torchwood vs mr. public administrator, very good for Gwen’s character. It wasn’t my favorite, but that’s more of a personal taste than actual quality thing
Made You Look (Gwen): SPOOKY FUN, one of the only audios I’ve actually relistened to, which I think is a stunning endorsement (I just like Matthew Gravelle’s voice okay)
Visiting Hours (Rhys): honestly I remember almost nothing of this one. It’s fine? Rhys is nyooming his mum around in a wheelchair
We Always Get Out Alive (Gwen and Rhys): excellent spooky little bottle episode! definitely merits an unreality warning I’d say, but like, very good
Night of the Fendahl (Gwen): wow I guess they give her a lot of spooky stories, anyway it’s very good, one to check the warnings on, but she’s great
Sargasso (Rhys): meh. The things I remember most about this audio is that the side character woman had the same name as Owen’s fiancée and that the author didn’t get how to write action for audio without pulling a “the gun in my right hand is loaded”
Smashed (Gwen): it’s a solid audio up until she gets smashed and then it’s just terrible to listen to and also they established this one good guy OC was the only person of color in the town and then killed him off and I have never gotten over that, don’t fucking bother
Dissected (Gwen): Martha beloved, it’s a solid audio, the characterization of their dynamic is a little strange when compared to the radio play with them, but it’s nothing unforgivable, worth it
Rhys and Ianto’s Excellent Barbecue (Rhys): YES SO GOOD ALWAYS RECOMMEND HE STICKS HIS HAND IN THE RIFT
Sonny (Rhys): better than visiting hours? but also sort of similar premise with his mum and stuff, idk I think the take on humanity wasn’t my favorite but also I forgor
Outbreak (Rhys and Gwen): VERY GOOD FOR THEM VIOLENCE AND LOVE AND RHYS BEING A PLAGUE RAT THE DUMBASS
The Torchwood Archive (Rhys and Gwen): I blanked on what their part was but it’s good I prommy
Believe (Gwen): her plot is the second best but also the audio is still mostly trash, so
I’m too lazy to go over the series continuation audios but there is some good them in there sometimes
TLDR: uh just don’t do smashed and rhys is best when he’s with someone who isn’t his mum

I'm trying to listen to more Doctor Who audio dramas. Which would you recommend?
Well, I'm basically in the same boat as you - really new to DW audio dramas and dipping my toes into what I can xD
I've only really tried audios that I know the characters/universe from - so for example, I listened to Rani Takes on the World: Beyond Bannerman Road because i loved the world of the Sarah Jane Adventures, and Rose Tyler: The Dimension Cannon because I love the arc of Rose jumping through the parallel worlds to get to s4 of the show to find the Doctor.
I have practically no knowledge of Classic Who (not yet at least), so I can't really comment on the bulk of the Classic Doctor audios xD
If I could recommend a Torchwood audio, it would be Rhys and Ianto's Excellent Barbecue - part of the Torchwood Monthly Range, but it's a good stand-alone audio too~ It touches on some darker topics, but it's a really good character-focused story.
If you don't mind branching out from Big Finish stuff, one of my favourite fan-made audio dramas is Doctor Who: Uncharted Past (here), which has been spun-off into a great fan-film series (Doctor Who: Fractured Timeline) <3 I'm slightly biased because it's all based in Northern Ireland, but it was one of the first pieces of DW fan content I listened to, and loved it <3
Hope this helps a little bit~ <3

Ianto in the show: If any of us talk about our emotions people will die so let's just keep all that bottled up where it's safe
Ianto in the audios: Do you like me? I feel like you don't like me. Why don't we go on a day trip to the countrycide and you can tell me how you feel about me :) We have to be back by noon tomorrow, though, because I have talk therapy with Rhys at his barbecue at 2 and then it's to the opera with Tosh to discuss our mutual frustrations
