I Tried To Pick Out A Bernice Summerfield And/or Jago And Litefoot Fave Too But Got Overwhelmed By Numbers - Tumblr Posts

You posted that you'd choose Doom Coalition for your desert island disc. Is it your favourite BF story of all time? Can you share your favourite which doesn't feature the doctor?

I do love Doom Coalition! I chose that first disc for my lonely exile because of the variety it packs in - a bit of Gallifrey, introducing the Eleven, introducing Helen, established Eight-with-Liv, and four very different stories. Doom Coalition definitely is among my favourites, and it's a set I've listened to more than most, but I'd hate to have to pick just one favourite from the whole range. My shortlist of 'ones to revisit every few months' is pretty long now!

As for a fave non-Doctor title... hmm. I adore The Bekdel Test, from the Diary of River Song #5 set - the one where River meets four different incarnations of the Master. They're all great stories on that set, but that Missy one makes me ridiculously happy!

The third story on the first Missy set grew on me slowly to become a huge favourite, too - The Broken Clock.

One of the new series UNIT stories really stood out for me - Invocation from the UNIT: Encounters set.

I get a big kick out of Masterful, the multi-Master special released for the Master's 50th anniversary.

And I'm a huge fan of the original run of Gallifrey - series 1 to 3. I've continued to follow the saga over the years, of course, but I've listened to the original run of stories over and over. I particularly like the second story from the first series, Square One.
