* Lucie Miller/To the Death was clearly this. The Earth being invaded after a terrible plague, the Doctor showing up years late, and the ending to Lucie Miller where the Doctor is on a Dalek Saucer which is being torpedoed, Susan and Lucie realising too late...And even though he survives he is left in a coma.

** It also shows why the Daleks never actively hunted the Doctor down. Even with everything he's done, he's never done anything like ''this'' before. This time, killing the Doctor can ''wait'', because the Daleks have something more important to do: The Daleks have a war to win - and the insult, this time, is personal.

personal. Even worse, the Warrior's series shows the Time War was ''preferable'' to the outcome of trying to kill the Daleks in Skaro.

Just like [[Series/DoctorWho its parent series]], ''AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho'' has some rather unsettling moments. Unlike its parent series, it no longer needs to worry about televised restrictions.

* ''Master''. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin As you may have guessed from the title]], it prominently features you-know-who, and it's not the [[EvilIsSexy suave]], [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome here-come-the-drums]], MagnificentBastard Master, either. It's the ''[[BodyHorror skeleton-looking]], AxCrazy psychopath'' [[Recap/DoctorWhoS14E3TheDeadlyAssassin Master]]. Basically, it's ''Literature/AndThenThereWereNone'' meets UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper [[JustForFun/InSPACE as a homicidal Time Lord]], but it's WAY freakier ([[TearJerker and more tragic]]) than that. One last thing: you know how one of the Doctor's [[IHaveManyNames names]] is "Time's Champion"? The Master is ''[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Death's Champion]]''. [[PlayedForDrama You will never look at]] ForTheEvulz the same way again.

* ''The Natural History of Fear''. The fact that it's one colossal MindScrew / TomatoSurprise is bad enough, but you don't truly know scary ''Who'' until you've listened to Creator/PaulMcGann's [[EvilIsSexy silky smooth voice]] spouting Orwellian propaganda as he lobotomies a woman ''who's awake for the whole time.''

** Normally, evil Eight is on the hammy side, but in this one he's... not. Not even remotely. And it is straight-up goddamn ''terrifying''. The Editor isn't some monstrous creature like Zagreus; he's a normal person who's a little too good at his job, and who seems to take a little too much quiet satisfaction in his work. Well, seems to. [[MindScrew Things get weird]]. Paul [=McGann=] is one of a very few people who can be [[EvilIsSexy sexy]] and utterly scary at the same time... using just his ''voice''. It must be heard to be believed.

* ''The Settling'' is set during [[UsefulNotes/OliverCromwell Cromwell's siege of Drogheda]] and exploits WarIsHell for all it's worth. There's also a frightening bit of MoodWhiplash meets DeliberateValuesDissonance when Hex lets loose with one of his [[CatchPhrase customary]] "Oh my God"s and Cromwell, who up to this point was portrayed as a harsh but not totally unreasonable AntiVillain, ''flips the fuck out'', giving Hex a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown and sentencing him to be hanged for blasphemy.

** It's also such a MindScrew. The way there are suddenly bursts of noise, like at the end of part 3. Then there is Creator/PaulMcGann as Charley's "daughter" and the sudden burst of noise when Charley refuses to let "her" have the brooch. And the squelching when the Doctor and Charley become one. The sound drives you insane, like a wave eroding the [[CliffsOfInsanity cliffs]] [[IncrediblyLamePun of sanity]]...

* ''The War Doctor Begins'': The Barber-Surgeon. Seemingly a rogue Time Lord waging the Time War against both the Daleks and the Time Lords. With his god-like powers, Palpatine-esque voice and eerie, distorted leitmotif, he's one of the most frightening villains Big Finish have depicted.
