It’s that time of year when we look back at the previous twelve months and whilst in the real world things haven’t been great (so a repeat of 2020), the one shining light has been the output from Big Finish. For the 15th time, the Tomstardis Awards are here to celebrate the best of the best. Voting is now open and will remain open until 6pm GMT on January 9. Click here to vote (hopefully the link works first time!) Thankyou in advance for taking the time to vote. If there are any errors then please let me know and I will change as soon as I can. Please be aware that I am the only person that works on this and as such mistakes are inevitable. |

Personally I think Option 4 Writer was the best writer in that range. He has a real bright career in audio the entry immediately after "the First Doctor Adventures" and immediately before "the ninth Doctor Adventures" says.. "Love your workspace VELUX Make a fuss of your workspace with some daylight TLC". no mention of the fourth Doctor |

Currently only about three votes in the Fourth Doctor Adventures. If you are having trouble accessing the blog then you can post who you are voting for here and I will add them to the overall result. Thanks I will mention that there is still a problem with the link to the fourth doctor poll - I managed to get in and vote at one point, however, my subsequent visits (to vote for other categories after listening to more) I have not seen the link and instead see either an advert or nothing in that spot |

which categories are those? I think you may be misunderstanding me. I try to listen to all stories in a category before voting in that category (so I can compare all the stories in that category) So I go in vote for some -listen to more stories and when I've completed a few more ranges I vote for those I still have not voted for War Doctor Begins or New Doctor Chronicles (not yet finished either of those ranges) or Bayban the butcher (still waiting for CDs to be dispatched) the only problem category that I have noticed is the Fourth Doctor adventures - I managed to get in once when the adverts didn't appear (though I think I recently saw the page with neither adverts nor link) |

Ah I see. My mistake. I've gone back to the original site that I use to host these polls so hopefully that should so the problems.  |
