Alright everyone I'm looking for some short trips to get from this sale. I've already got Series 5 and a smattering of 6 and 7 so outside of the first five, recommend away. And of the one's I've heard I'd recommend This Sporting Life, Lost and Found, The Blame Game, The King of the Dead, A Full Life, I am the Master, The Hesitation Deveiation, and Erasure for anyone else looking for recommendations.

This year’s ‘Doctors and Dragons’ I can’t recommend enough. To be honest, I think the entire premise could have worked for a much longer piece akin to one of the monthly ranges.

All of the Rarities are fun. How to Win Planets is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! O Tannenbaum is a nice Steve/One story. Small Semblance of Home is nice and intimate. I am the Master is a delight, Beevers shows a real love for the character in his writing and performance. All Hands on Deck is emotional, King of the Dead is tense and moving, and Gardens of the Dead is just a hard-hitter (Plus Mark Strickson does a VERY good Five)

I love "A heart on both sides" , "I am the Master", "The Switching" , "Erasure" and "The Man who wasn`t there".
Those are my favorites, recommended.

How to Win Planets and A Full Life are both very, very good. I'd also recommend Ingenious Gentleman and Erasure while we're at it.

Already got them all, but these are my absolute favourites, so far, worth the listen.
Monthly: Damascus, A Full Life, The World Beyond the Trees, The Jago & Litefoot Revival (Acts 1 and 2), Flashpoint, The Siege of Big Ben, A Small Semblance of Home, I Am The Master, Battle Scars.
Rarities: Museum Peace, Lepidoptery for Beginners, The Little Drummer Boy, Twilight's End, Only Connect.
I specifically didn't list the Paul Spragg Memorial Opportunity winners because they're also among what I'm recommending; same with the initial four Volumes. And speaking of Rarities, I know they haven't made any announcements on whether they'll be releasing another five this year, but one I have in mind is the 2015 Subscriber Short Trip "String Theory" (comes with MR The Entropy Plague) which I feel deserves to be among them.

Not very specific but since I wholeheartedly agree with every post so far, I guess I could only recommended any and all of them. Hard to go wrong on these.

If I was to spend a Tenner on those that are reduced this weekend - what would be the best 'dips' i to the range? I have 'Sound the Siren' and 'A Full Life' and really liked them. Personal tastes is significant and the ********** website throws up a wide range of ratings. Top 6 anyone? Thanks to Drama Man & Hieronymus recommendations already posted. |

If you could only get 6, I'd say get the monk pair (Blame Game and How to Win Planets) Ingenious Gentleman, I am the Master and the time war duo (Heart on both sides and All hands on deck). though as paired down as this list is, there are several other excellent stories out there. |

Thanks - will look into them. How do the Jago & Litefoot pair stand up? They're solid enough as stories, but they are something of an abberation as far as sticking to the format of short trips go. They're fine short trips, but weaker jago and litefoot if that makes any sense. Worth a pick up, but bear in mind they're also available on Jago and Litefoot Forever release. |

One which hasn't been mentioned yet but rather different and I loved it: Falling A charming, gentle, life-affirming tale for fans of Polly and Ben - and The Original - perfectly performed by Anneke Wills.
In a similar vein for the first TARDIS crew, A Small Semblance of Home.
Stories which perhaps only the STs would tell; one of the strengths of this wonderful range is that it can go to unusual places. (If you have the cash, my recommendation would be: just buy the bundles!  I'd have saved a bit if I'd done that straight off!) |
