The first Who from 2003 that I encountered: I reviewed the Telos novella Shell Shock for Infinity Plus soon after publication; it impressed me more than my previous encounter with the range.

My favourite Who from 2003: The Shada webcast is great, but once again Big Finish had captured the high ground – my favourite is Creatures of Beauty, but I also like Jubilee (which of course got remade for TV a couple of years later), Flip-flop, Omega, Zagreus, The Wormery and from the Unbound range Sympathy for the Devil which has David Warner as a different Third Doctor and Nicholas Courtney as retired Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, whose successor, Colonel Brimmacombe-Wood, is played by David Tennant. Plus Mark Gatiss as the Master. I also enjoyed the Short Trips: Companions anthology.

Moving swiftly on from: It is rare that one has to mark down a Big Finish audio for poor production values, but The Poison Seas is not their finest hour.

So, what was your favourite of the above? What is the best bit? (And if you like, what is the worst bit?)
