Anyone here give their big finish stories a go?

Yep. Fun as hell. For the most they're pretty much comedies.

The state of the dalek props in Destiny is absolutely shocking. Budgetary problems aside it really didn't help that the BBC kept loaning them out on publicity tours where they'd get inevitably banged up and would then not provide the money to restore them back to decent condition. Not that it mattered that much, attention to detail was so poor in several scenes throughout the story theres one dalek which has the top half badly misaligned with the bottom. Now maybe I'm just a stickler for detail, but come on.

Plus you might spot in some scenes a rather odd looking dalek which has a skirt with completely wrong proportions. Apparently this was created by chucking the top half of a former background prop onto a poorly made skirt originally made for an exhibition as they were so desperate for functional props. Generally known as "Oddball", this wierd dalek kept showing up all the way into Revelation.

David Gooderson, who played Davros in that story, is also a wearing Davros mask that: a) had been used five years earlier in Genesis, and b) had been sculpted around Michael Wisher's features.

The new Ninth Doctor box has so many great moments.

"Wait, what's French for 'Deja Vu'?"
The TARDIS' translation is on the fritz: "What the blooming heck are you doing here, but in Italian?"
He doesn't want Benny to know it's him, so he can't call himself "John Smith", so he panicked and called himself Professor Arthur Fandango

There's always been a weird gatekeeping thing when it comes to Who authors. I remember a story about Cornell getting into Nick Briggs' face at a BF meeting when BF got the Who license. Haigh-Ellery had picked Briggs to write the first release, and Cornell got upset since Cornell thought it should have been one of Virgin NA author because THEY had been keeping Who "alive" and Briggs wasn't one of them.

It requires a lot of knowledge going in, but A Death in the Family is an incredible 7th story.

Other great stories:
The Fires of Vulcan
Dust Breeding
The Dark Flame
Night Thoughts
Robophobia
The Defectors
The Quantum Possibility Engine

Interesting title reuse
Wonder if the story will be similar too

The last of The Darksmith Legacy was called "The End of Time" and it had nothing to do with the TV ep.

And the Seventh Doctor Lost Story "Thin Ice" had the same title as a Twelfth TV story.
