Please review our nomination guidelines before nominating. There's an opportunity to transfer accepted tags from the 2025 tagset to the 2026 tagset.

Big Finish Audio

Hello Doctor Who fans! I know I can ask this question when we conclude the round, but I wanted to get ahead of the feedback post and ask it while it's still fresh. Can those familiar please let me know if what I have in the tagset in terms of Big Finish Audio is correct? I did a bit of Googling, but I'm admittedly a little lost. (My familiarity with Big Finish Audio is only through tagset approvals.)

In the tagset, we have:



• Doctor Who (Big Finish Audio)
  
• Gallifrey (Big Finish Audio)
  
• UNIT: the New Series (Big Finish Audio)


Should all of these remain as separate canons, or should they fall under one big "Big Finish Audio" umbrella? From my understanding, Big Finish Audio is the production company, and these are all different series, much like how Doctor Who 1963 and 2005 are different series (in a way that they're not even different series… Doctor Who is a very complicated canon when you go into the fandom weeds!).

I'm happy to keep them separate, but I wanted to know so I can make any amendments (if needed) and make a note for 2027's nomination guidelines.

I will be rejecting all lingering nomination queries once nominations close. Please check the nominations queries posts from 2026 to make sure your nominations are not one of them! If you need help making amendments, please ask rather than risk losing your nominations.

There will most likely be one last nomination queries post before nominations close. Please ensure you spell your nominations correctly! There will be very little opportunity to fix these errors once sign-ups open.

Please let me know on any nominations post if you see any duplicates or errors (like typos or my bloopers!) in the tagset. I'll be doing a sweep of the tagset once nominations close. Your eagle eyes are much appreciated! Happy last-leg-of-nominating!

Not one of the nominators, but as another DW BFA person my thoughts are:

Those 3 audio drama series are distinct enough that I agree that it makes sense to keep them separate, even though technically they're all part of the same extended universe. They all have different casts, settings, and audiences, and they probably have fewer crossovers than Classic Who, NuWho, Torchwood, and Sarah Jane Adventures, which pretty much every exchange agrees are separate fandoms.

I'd be interested in hearing other people's thoughts, though.

Agree! (For context, I nominated Gallifrey and was very involved in the Gallifrey fandom for several years, and I’ve also listened to a scattering of audios in various other Big Finish ranges.)

Comparing the Gallifrey audios and UNIT audios to Torchwood and Sarah Jane Adventures feel apt. They’re all spinoffs of Doctor Who that focus on characters who are not the Doctor.

And the Doctor Who (Big Finish Audio) tag tends to be used for audios that do involve the Doctor—series like the Fourth Doctor Adventures, Eighth Doctor Adventures, etc. have been made synonyms of that tag. And looking at the nominations, that’s how it’s being used here!
