There were two big beginnings in September 2015: Torchwood: The Conspiracy & Criss-Cross! And not long after that, there came the biggest release of that year (the first new series Doctor story) - Only the Monstrous!! Well! Look what the freebie this week is! The Innocent! I think that HAS to be part of the schedule for next Monday! The Innocent (available free until Monday) The Enigma of Dorian Gray (available free) What does everyone else think?! So we need to start planning this listen through. Here are all of the releases from Sept 2015: MR: Criss Cross MR: Terror of the Sontarans Third Doctor Adventures Vol 1 Blake's 7 :The Liberator Chronicles- Remnants Torchwood :The Conspiracy The Early Adventures: The Yes Men Dark Shadows: Tainted Love Short Trips: Etheria There was also a Pathfinders release and the release of The Wizard Of Oz. i'm inclined to not include these in a listen through. Only the Monstrous was released in December, so not quite when we started, but close. So what do we want to listen to? Everything released that month? Only the Doctor Who stuff? Doctor Who and spin-offs (Torchwood). Chime in folks. This is your listen through! (Another big beginning was the Third Doctor Adventures! I hadn't realized that.)

I guess it kind of depends on how long we want it to go for. Let's say... One release a week, across eight/nine/ten releases, that's a little over two months? I'd be happy with a little over two months. I don't think there are many, if any stories here that'd require prepatory listening to understand (maybe Tainted Love?). Do we want to look at other Septembers since 2015 and nominate a special release from there? 2016 has The Genesis Chamber, for instance or alternatively, for a couple bob, one of the many Short Trips that've materialised over the years.

The reason I leaned towards Only the Monstrous is it seemed like the first HUGE release that the forum covered. Plus, The Innocent being free this week seemed to seal the deal.
I like the idea of including some non-Doctor Who as well - that's why I mentioned Dorian Vol. 4 (the first Dorian released during the forum's lifetime) and its free first episode.
Also, I've only ever heard one DS story (The Darkest Shadow) but Tainted Love is on Spotify so if it's not too steeped in continuity, I'm down for that too.
Oh also, somehow I've never heard Etheria despite owning it since its release??

I have no problem including The Innocent or Dorian for those very good reasons, if everyone is onboard for it. In fact, The Innocent is just a one hour story so we can even have that as our first listen, discussion beginning on Monday the 21st, the actual anniversary date. Or the Short Trip. Nothing too long since we will only have a few days to listen. If we do include these and everything on the above list, that's 10 releases. I think that is ok, but no longer than that. If we start discussion of one on Monday, it takes us to Nov. 23. Which I think is actually kind of perfect.

You don't work for Narvin's lot on the quiet do you?
I'm definitely on for this. Some of those stories are huge events in my BF life; 'Criss-Cross' was about when I started buying the MR regularly and it's a cracker - and of course the arrival of the 3DAs was my wildest Who dream come true. And some I have in my backlog but have never heard - I've been saving 'The Yes Men' for a special occasion as the only Second Doctor EA I've not heard, from a range I love which sadly seems to be in reduced circumstances now. So sharing it with friends enjoying a relisten will be that ideal special occasion.

Love it! A most excellent serendipity!
What about...
S21 - The Innocent S28 - The Conspiracy O5 - Etheria / Pathfinders 2.1 O12 - Terror of the Sontarans O19 - Tainted Love O26 - The Enigma of Dorian Gray N2 - Third Doctor Adventures Vol 1 N9 - Blake's 7 - Remnants N16 - The Yes Men N23 - Criss-Cross
Celebrate the fifth anniversary of the Divergent Universe with six Doctors, UNIT, Torchwood, Time Lords, Daleks, Sontarans, Dorian Gray, the inhabitants of Collinsport, the crew of the Liberator and adventurers seeking the Mask of the Forgotten Pharoah!
(Some I've placed pretty arbitrarily but the first Constance story seemed like a good solid ending and Dark Shadows and Dorian fit best at Halloween.)
Any adjustments that anyone would suggest?
EDIT: Pathfinders added as per below!

Can we add the Pathfinder release to the list (maybe on one of the existing lines as an and/or with another story?) and I'll do my best to plough through it to keep causality company, even if I've tried and failed a few times before. Edit: add Pathfinders in with the Conspiracy? And causality, it is a very good opening episode to Torchwood btw!

The shortest stories on the list are Etheria and Dorian at around half an hour each - we could throw the Pathfinder one on at October 5th?

I don't have a problem switching one title for another if that is the concensus. I don't want to do more than 10 so we can end at that sweet date. I'm not a Pathfinders fan. I've tried listening to them more than once and it's just not for me. But what does everyone else think, Torchwood or Pathfinders?

Could probably pick up Etheria as well, as a Short Trip it hardly breaks the bank. As The Enigma of Dorian Gray is free, I might try that as a first go at Dorian (assuming its not continuity-heavy?) since the series has such good word of mouth.

Hat suits me better as Criss Cross I only have the CD and away in Edinburgh (God willing over the next week)

I wouldn't want to lose The Conspiracy from this list - let's just throw Pathfinders on there as a bonus (double up one week - either Torchwood or Etheria), like how there were unofficial "bonus" stories for some of the other listen-throughs!

I can’t recall anything ahout it, so must have heard it only the once.

What am I saying??? constonks already posted the perfect schedule. Instead of discussion starting on Sept 21, let's start the listen-thru on the 21st wish discussion beginning on Sunday the 28th. Discussions will begin every Sunday after the scheduled listen date. Here's what we have once again: Sept 21 - The Innocent Sept 28 - The Conspiracy Oct 5 - Etheria / Pathfinders 2.1 Oct 12 - Terror of the Sontarans Oct 19 - Tainted Love Oct 26 - The Enigma of Dorian Gray Nov 2- Third Doctor Adventures Vol 1 Nov 9 - Blake's 7 - Remnants Nov 16 - The Yes Men Nov 23 - Criss-Cross I love this timeline. Thanks! You don't have to have listened to the story that week. Anyone can chime in on the discussion at any time after the original discussion date. Discussions will be posted in the relevant sections of the forum. Have fun everyone!!!
