It's been awhile since I listened to a run of 7s adventures, I downloaded House of Blue Fire, Project Destiny and Gods and Monsters in a recent sale.
I've been trying to list a few stories that are his best, so far I've got;
A Thousand Tiny Wings
Colditz
Night Thoughts
The Harvest
Master
The Magic Mousetrap
Red
Flip/Flop
Dark Universe
A Death in the Family

Can I just say once more how since the main range ended, Seven's stories have been disappointing, with none of the inventiveness and willingness to experiment displayed during his TV adventures? No? Okay then ...
The Magic Mousetrap A Thousand Tiny Wings Enemy of the Daleks Survival of the Fittest Flip Flop Red The Harvest Night Thoughts
Fiesta of the Damned The Monsters of Gokroth

I think we've only had one set with 7 since the relaunch which was Silver and Ice. Bad day in Tinsletown was okay but the lead villian performance was extremely bad, perhaps the worst I've ever heard from Big Finish. The Ribos Inheritance was quite good, I enjoyed hearing 7 ponder the changes to come between season 24 and 26. |

The stories might be really very good, but I'm waiting for reviews before purchasing, whereas once I'd snap up a Seventh Doctor set as soon as it was announded. |

I'll be waiting for the reviews too, I hope there good as the next set looks interesting. I'm also looking forward to 7s last day that was teased before the relaunch. |

I don’t think that any list of 7’s greatest hits would be complete without Damaged Goods, Theatre of War or Original Sin.
Damaged Goods is quite possibly one of the finest 7 stories Big Finish has produced.

Just to say, if I'd remembered, I'd have included 'Muse of Fire' and 'Red Planets' on my list as well.

I'm gonna have to go through my records to find the titles because, goddamn, I cannot remember these things for the life of me. The only two titles I can remember off the top of my head, from my favorites, are LIVE34 and A Thousand Tiny Wings. Maybe also The Angel of Scutari? At least it is if we're talking about the best stories with the 7th Doctor in them... the best stories for the 7th Doctor not so much. Besides the ones mentioned.... definitely also "Live 34" People talk a lot about how to "get into Big Finish," and there are a handful of stories that always seem to come up in those conversations ( Storm Warning, Spare Parts, etc.) but for my money LIVE34 is the absolute best option -- not only is it a fantastic story (one of the best in the whole franchise IMhO) but it also does a far better job taking advantage of the audio format than almost any other story in the Big Finish catalog. Well, at least out of what I've heard. It manages to evoke a real sense of scope and scale that would never be even remotely within the realm of possibility for the TV show. |

Live 34 is THE quintessential political message Doctor Who story. It's message is now more acute than ever and it is fantastically written, paced and performed.
