- 2000 AD - Big Finish Originals - Blake's 7 (not entirely sure though) - Callan - Captain Scarlet - Dan Dare - DW Short Trips - Mervyn Stone - Pathfinder - Night of the Triffids - Sherlock Holmes - Star Cops - Terrahawks - The Omega Factor - The Prisoner - The Scarifyers - Dorian Gray (same with Blake's 7)
Are there any ranges that YOU have no intention on getting?

Not sure what you’re getting at here. Were you looking for us to convince you otherwise on some of these, or were you just going for straight-up Eeyore?

It might be easier to list the BF ranges that you are interested in!

I have a few ranges I still have no intention of getting - 2000 AD, Avengers, Callan, Survivors, Terrahawks and Captain Scarlet. These are still just plain not clicking for me somehow.
On the other hand, there are about 10 on your list that I had no intention of ever owing, prior to being very glad I changed my mind about them :-)
Blake's 7 and Dorian are excellent picks for ranges to not be that sure about skipping, they're both excellent ranges, IMHO.

I thought I would never get any Torchwood. Ever. But I might be tempted by the one with Katy Manning coming out. Never say never.

There isn't a range that I haven't given a chance to see if I like it. In saying that, I don't plan on going past what I already have with ranges such as Counter-Measures, Pathfinder Legends or Vienna, but I'm always relistening to what I have so that could always change.

Nope. I'll give pretty much anything Big Finish produces a chance.

I'm pretty open minded when it comes to the ranges at BF.
The only one I don't intend to pick up so far is Dark Shadows. I listened to the collinsport Christmas episode and it was one of the most cliche riddled stories I've heard from BF. Beyond the grave was better, but neither of them grabbed me and had me coming back for more.
Blake 7 i'm not following, Warship and the first LC were enjoyable, but I've never seen the show itself and would probably just get lost. One day I'll start, One day.

I could definitely recommend a coupl Dark Shadows that would have u really engaged.
"Panic" is a solid one

I'm not formally following TW but any story with Katy Manning as Jo or Iris is a must for me! And I'll be getting the Fendahl one too, it's as if I can't take my eyes off it...

There are a few ranges that hold no interest for me - Iris, Graceless, Vienna, Charlotte Pollard (the characters are ones I honestly don't like). Dark Shadows has never grabbed me - as with Dorian, the few I've head couldn't hold my interest. Some talented writers and great casts are involved, sadly they just not items which interest me.
Same for Drama Showcase, Mervyn Stone, and the Texbook ranges.
As for Class - I honestly couldn't get into the TV series, and based on that have no interest in an audio series based on it. I've also given up on Torchwood - overtime I've come to realize that I honestly can't stand Jack and Gwen. Though I will say anything with Yvonne is a must buy - for some reason I love her character.

Right off the bat, I'll never get Terrahawks. I've listened to some free samples and it's just not my cup of tea at all.
Same with Pathfinder.
Not particularly interested in the Charlotte Pollard series, either.
I did change my mind on Dark Shadows, at least as much as I've listened to.
Uncertain about Dorian Gray; again, I didn't love the free samples I've heard enough to purchase, but I haven't definitively closed the door on trying it in the future.

There are so many ranges I didn't think I'd like that I'm now a big fan of thanks to recommendations from this and the old forum. So am now willing to give most of what big finish put out a chance. But Iris, Survivors, The Omega Factor and The Sigmund Freud Files are really not my cup of tea.

You've got to try The Flip Side, or Blood and Fire.

I don't quite get why people limit themselves when it comes to BF ranges, especially those that stick rigidly to Doctor Who.
Yes I get the finances bit, but to not try the other stuff - when it is often miles better than a chunk of the DW released - just seems a bit stubborn.
The Sherlock Holmes box sets are brilliant, and so too with Blake's 7, The Omega factor, and The Prisoner.
I'll give any of them a go.

There are just things that not everyone likes. Pathfinder, Terrahawks, Dark Shadow, these are some that I will never buy. I love Sherlock Holmes & tried the BF stuff but it wasn't for me.
