Executive Editor of Radiotimes.com Morgan Jeffrey said: “The results are in and, capping off this collaboration between Big Finish and RadioTimes.com, Doctor Who fans have named these five entries from the award-winning Monthly Range as their all-time Eighth Doctor favourites – from 2002's The Chimes of Midnight to 2011's The Silver Turk, this quintet offers a variety of moods, styles and companions, but their one unifying factor is Paul McGann's superb lead performance... and how appropriate to be celebrating that 25 years after the Eighth Doctor made his debut on UK television.” 

Big Finish was recently awarded a Guinness World Record for the longest-running science fiction audio play series, after releasing a brand-new Doctor Who monthly adventure for 275 consecutive months. 

The company released its first Doctor Who story in the range all the way back in July 1999, and have delivered a new adventure every month since, featuring storylines for the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Doctors.
