Free and Cheap Doctor Who audios · 6:42pm Jul 24th, 2014
I know a lot of you also follow Doctor Who, so it would be totally remiss of me not to mention this. Big Finish, the company that make Doctor Who audios, are celebrating their 15th anniversary this week. Over the course of 15 days they are putting up different special offers.
For the next 24 hours only (so GO GO GO), they have several of their audios for download for £1 each. A pound! Or whatever that is in dollars. And they accept Paypal! There's no excuse! Three of the ones on offer are some of my favourite stories in any medium ever, which is why I'm pretty keen to spread the message. So seriously, even if you are only slightly interested in Doctor Who, go and pick up the following, in order of preference (again, £1 a download! Mad cheap!)
Jubilee - The story the New Who episode 'Dalek' was adapted from, but much more massive in scope, and even better (and 'Dalek' was a 10/10 episode as it is!)
The Holy Terror - By the same writer, by turns absolutely hilarious and terrifying. Also it features a shapeshifting penguin from the Marvel comics
Spare Parts - An origin of the Cybermen story. It is credited as 'based on' in the New Series episode 'Rise of the Cybermen', but apart from a few scenes, there is not much similarity. As this one is good.
The offer is good for the next 24 hours only! Go go go! The link to all the other offers is here, but everything else pales in comparison to the above.
Also they have put up some free short stories. I've not listened to them yet so I've no idea if they're any good.

The Ratings War
If those were e-books and not audio books I would be really interested.
English is not my native language, and I learned English by myself, from playing games and reading books. End result? I need subtitles to fully understand MLP
I can fully recommend Jubilee - It's AMAZING. All you really need to know is that it contains the phrase "WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR OUR DALEK SONG"
Spare Parts is also pretty great, though you need to know a little bit about the classic origin of Cybermen.
