Executive Editor of Radiotimes.com Morgan Jeffrey said: “Radiotimes.com asked Big Finish fans to help us crown their favourite Fifth Doctor story and they responded in their thousands. It was a close-fought thing, but in the end, it was 2000 classic The Mutant Phase that came out on top. Now we're turning to those loyal listeners once more, asking them to select their top picks from the Sixth Doctor's 22 years' worth of amazing audio adventures, from Whispers of Terror to Colony of Fear.”
