Would my life be over? No. I'd be terribly disappointed, but I think I'll manage. Even if I'm just treading water, going over the same material we already have, I'm sure I'll find ways to have my Who fix satisfied. And, besides, I have just as many other shows that I have yet to finish or watch, so I'll survive even if it sometimes hurts.

Ah, what a great hypothetical. I’d probably do the same as last time and re-watch old stories, intermingled with some other TV sci fi classic shows. Oh, and lots of time re-listening to Big Finish. After that, it would probably have been revived again! Nope all of your Who has been confiscated lol the BBC own it and you aren’t allowed to listen or own.So now what ? If that happened I guarantee BF would go out of business as Doctor is how they make enough to stay in business.

I think I would go onto a forum or two on the internet and get recommendations from other nerds online about what other shows might possibly interest me, what other books to read and what other things to listen to. Basically I would do what I have done many times before and somehow doing right now...

Oh, and or course I am also in the local nerd clubs to share this information with other crazy people face to face over some food and beer.

Ah 2 points then?
pervious Post was what I'd replace Who with in general for my entertainment.
What I'd buy from BF instead MAYBE B7 and Sherlock Holmes.

Good grief.. You don't half have some random thoughts for a Monday night Audity! 😄
Anyway.. What if.. 🤔
.. the licence was lost and our draconian overlords at the BBC confiscated our Who collections?
Then it would have to be new Classics, new Originals, new Sherlock Holmes and new Dark Shadows (on the assumption that Auntie reclaimed all her licences from Big Finish as well as Who, that Big Finish survived the Great audiobook purge of 2018 and that if they did they had to produce something to keep Messrs Dorney and Fitton occupied for a bit).
Baker's End, The Scarifyers and Brenda and Effie - I expect a world without Who would draw in new listeners to Bafflegab. Hopefully at the same time it would draw out new stories.
Dark Adventure Radio Theatre. Yet to indulge but I keep hearing good things about it. A decimated product range for Big Finish would certainly be the impetus for me to start. The Fighting Fantasy audio dramas would certainly be in the running too..but only from the nostalgic viewpoint of playing the books as a youngster.
And after all that, once I'd done what I could to feed my addiction..then I'd don the Guy Fawkes mask and start fanning the flames of revolution to reclaim my Doctor Who CD and Download collections.. 😋😋

Who would we cast as our Doctor is a better What if? (That might need a new thread though.)

If that happened I guarantee BF would go out of business as Doctor is how they make enough to stay in business. Not if people invested in other things and it is hypothetical...they didn’t always have the license remember and they are producing other stuff it is only that people buy the WHO...so if ther was NO WHO what would you be interested in listening to? They have always been making Doctor Who audios, so no. Secondly, considering their output is 75% of Doctor Who, they would end up lose money and become unable to support the ability to do other ranges. And people aren’t going to invest in something they didn’t have interest in before because of a lack of something else. If you eat apples and you don’t like bananas, and one day apples disappear, you won’t start eating bananas.

If you eat apples and you don’t like bananas, and one day apples disappear, you won’t start eating bananas. You will if you are hungry enough But as you say it’s just an audio, so again people aren’t going to do. Then again, Torchwood is a separate liscence so that would likely become their main focus and output due to its popularity.

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

Probably a lot more music and podcasts. Frankly, BF take up so much of my listening time that there's been a rash of new podcasts that I don't listen to because I just don't have the time to listen to everything I want to, especially since my wife started sharing my commute with me (she doesn't have a lot of my interests). But I'd probably do that relisten to The Thrilling Adventure Hour that I've been contemplating for a couple of years now.

So, the series has ended, BF's licence has been revoked and the BBC have used their remote demat gun to confiscate any and every collection available... Eh, I think I'd engage in thoughtcrime and grow my own orchard. I always come up with a headcanon for series ended before their time. Other than that, things would continue as per normal. If it wasn't Doctor Who, there'd just be a greater emphasis on what I already listen to in between releases -- Blake's 7, the spy stories and the Anderson series, among other things. I can definitely see the longtime Who actors popping up more frequently in other ranges as well to compensate.

So what would you invest in currently available on the BF website then(that’s not Who)? Dark Shadows, probably. And some of the Big Finish Originals look quite interesting. I would hope we could still have Bernice Summerfield stories and maybe Nick could get around to making a few more Sherlock Holmes stories - those have usually been brilliant.

It’s fine. There’ll always be something else. I’m sure I’m going to get that “void” feeling when Game of Thrones ends next year. But its a passing phase with everything I get attached to. I get over and move on. Besides, I have enough BF backlog to keep me entertained for a couple of years.
