Have you ever gotten into a franchise via Big Finish's audios before you saw/read the original source material?

I never heard of The Prisoner before Big Finish and have not seen the original version.

Survivors - I love it so much now, I'm very glad I was tempted by an offer once as it has become one of my favourite series (both the TV series and the audios). The Omega Factor I listened to the audios before the TV series but, while I enjoy it, I haven't taken to it as much as Survivors.

Survivors for me. Cheers Tony Ditto. Still not seen the TV show. I DID get the TV version of The Omega Factor just so I could get the audio version though. |

Survivors for me as well. I don't know how it escaped my attention, but I was not aware of the show until I saw the range on the Big Finish website. I decided to check out the TV series, got totally caught up in it, and follow the Big Finish audios just as enthusiastically.
On a side note, Big Finish has also made me like some Doctor Who elements and characters that I previously had a negative opinion of. One particular Doctor I didn't like much at all, but is now one of my favorites.

I have yet to watch anything beyond the first episode of the Survivors tv show. I enjoy the Big Finish series so much that it's only a matter of time before I watch the rest though.

I became aware of Blake's 7 through Big Finish. But I watched all 4 seasons of the show before I started buying the audios.

Dark Shadows, Blake's 7 and Stargate Oh, how did I forget Dark Shadows? Yes Dark Shadows, never heard of it before finding BF (were they ever lost?) and have still only seen a few of the TV episodes (about 600) but I have all of the audios  . Cheers Tony |

This isn't exactly what you were asking, but I actually listened to almost all of McGann's audio stories after watching NOTD, but before watching the TV Movie, I've heard about 20 of Colin's audios and I've yet to see more than the odd minute or two of his Doctor on screen, I've heard some of 5+7 but I've seen almost nothing of there Doctors on screen.

I think the only exposure I had to any Dorian Gray character prior to purchasing from the Big Finish Dorian range was an appearance in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Also I've not seen any of the Omega Factor TV episodes yet, although many thanks for this thread as it reminded me to check for a copy and I just found the complete series for my region used for only $17 US. I really liked the first two stories in the Big Finish Omega Factor boxset and looking forward to the remainder.

Also, The Adventures of Luther Arkwright, which I bought mainly because David Tennant starred in it. |

I'm another one who came to Dark Shadows through Big Finish. I've got all the DS audiobook and full cast releases and love them all, and subsequently bought the UK DVD release of the 20 original Barnabas episodes, but that's still all I've seen of the original series.
Also, I was intrigued enough to get The Omega Factor, having not seen the original, but still haven't got around to listen to it yet!

Different again from Survivors et al. |
