Can have here mention about the new series of Sherlock Holmes audios series? Here's a link about it: http://www.bigfinish.com/ranges/sherlock-holmes -- Victory93 ( talk) 04:03, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
I have removed the reference of Doctor Who as cult and the link to the BBC Cult website. The BBC Cult has content on how Doctor Who was perceived prior to its return to television in 2005. Since 2005 millions of people have been watching Doctor Who plus there has been influx of tie-in items that have been released for the general consumer market as a result of Doctor Who's 2005 TV return. I mean why would the BBC released this amount of material for a show that is considered to be cult.
Therefore the perception that Doctor Who is cult and the BBC Cult website is completely outdated and therefore not applicable for this article. The Shadow Treasurer ( talk) 21:48, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
Blue Peter is a children's program meaning it would have smaller audience numbers without most adults watching it, therefore would easily be called cult due to its said audience numbers. As you say the BBC Cult site ran for two years after the revival meaning 2007. This is 2011 and therefore the current situation is that BBC Cult is not an active site and therefore no evidence that the BBC themselves who makes Doctor Who is calling it cult today. The Shadow Treasurer ( talk) 06:01, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
Independent view, Doctor Who is verifiably a "cult" programme. Our own cult following article explicitly mentions Doctor Who, a Google search of "Doctor Who" plus "cult television" reveals several hits, including a cult television book, numerous BBC links (and it's not for any of us to decide that they're "completely outdated" by the way, cult is cult is cult), the Daily Telegraph recently referred to it as "cult", as did Metro, Reuters, The New York Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, MIT, the Sydney Morning Herald, and that took all of five minutes to find. It's verifiably "cult" so as long as we cite it, then there's no problem at all having the term in the lead. The Rambling Man ( talk) 21:31, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
Doctor Who Magazine editor Tom Spilsbury makes a case in his editorial in issue 392 of the said magazine on why Doctor Who should not be called cult and I don't see why this is as less valid as other publications which had used the cult term. It may be argued that Spilsbury was speaking from a bias point of view but then again why should the view of those who have expressed it as cult be considered more valid since these are people who are necessarily fully appreciative of the programme. In any case Doctor Who's high ratings since 2005 proves that it is not fitting for the word cult to be used to describe Doctor Who. The Shadow Treasurer ( talk) 22:19, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
Rambling Man I do not appreciate the message you have given me so do not contact me again and I was talking about Doctor Who since 2005 not before it.
The article on "cult following" says this: "Cult media are often associated with underground culture, and are considered too eccentric, bizarre, controversial or anti-establishment to be appreciated by the general public." The fact that millions of viewers have tuned into Doctor Who since 2005 clearly contradicts the view of Doctor Who being cult for today's viewers.
I do not get to be on the Internet at any time I like so I only get back to this debate when I feel that I have sufficient time to make a case here. I also do not believe in putting all my eggs in one basket.
If it persists for this article to describe Doctor Who as cult I will dissect the editorial for DWM 392 bit by bit in order to argue why calling Doctor Who a cult today is wrong. The Shadow Treasurer ( talk) 02:46, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
I do not care that millions believe it to be cult because it does not reflect the effort the BBC has made to promote Doctor Who something it would not be doing if it was a cult show. Also using an obituary on Lis Sladen to prove a point that Doctor Who is cult is absolutely distasteful. In any case the cult description in this article is not necessary due to this article stating that Big Finish primarily produces science fiction properties. Science fiction alone makes the cult description absolutely superfluous. 122.108.156.100 ( talk) 21:32, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
Reliable sources does not mean they are right on this and don't you dare put back Lis Sladen's obituary because as I say before it is offensive. 122.108.156.100 ( talk) 22:46, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
On June 26, 2013, Big Finish Productions announced they had signed a license with StudioCanal to produce full-cast audio productions of 12 lost episodes from Season 1. More details at http://www.bigfinish.com/news/v/the-avengers-licenced . 85.81.82.15 ( talk) 23:09, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

Big Finish Creative are the animation arm which has done some of the gap filling in 1st and 2nd Doctor stories. http://bigfinishcreative.com.au shows them having essentially the same logo, and a web serch throws up Jason Haigh-Ellery in linkedin saying "Animation: Chairman of Big Finish Creative studios in Sydney, Australia." That's probably not solid enough references to avoid any mention getting reverted away. Anyone got sound sources? Nickpheas ( talk) 18:52, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
