Truly cannot thank you enough for sharing the drives <33 i can't help but wonder how you built up such an amazing collection- you said your grandfather introduced you to big finish stuff? How long ago was that? Hope you have an amazing day! (I know I will thanks to you!)

Hi, Anon! You're welcome! I hope you have an amazing day, too!

Gosh, we're talking so long ago. It was somewhere around 2005-2006, I swear it was before the shows revival, but my memories of listening to them only appear to be in a specific house (we moved for the final time in 2006). My grandfather introduced me to them by telling me of these stories he listens to when he goes to bed, sometimes he'd fall asleep listening to them, he gave me the Eighth Doctor monthly range on a CD he'd burnt. It then expanded to the first 50 audios, then the first 91. I was obsessed with both them and the show, and I assumed that because 91 was Circular Time and ends with Five regenerating, with the show airing, they'd chosen to cancel the audios and end on him ending. (it made sense to me at the time, I was like 14? When I thought that)

It didn't occur to me that they were still going until 2019? So for like 14 years, I was just listening to the same audios repeatedly wishing they'd kept going. Once I realised, I asked my grandfather if he had more.

So my collection is a combination of - my grandfather giving me 150 monthly range ones, spending money on them back when I had a job, and scouring the internet to see if someone had posted them online fully prepared to brick my laptop doing this. My Eighth Doctor Collection was from someone else's drive, they had all the way up to Ravenous but they privatised it like two days later. The rest is my own.
