Heads up
Big Finish are delighted to announce a number of new titles for the next few years, both in Doctor Who and other ranges... And for a short while there's also a special offer for them all...
As the year end approaches, we look forward to the next as we announce a number of continuations of some hugely popular Big Finish series, and one amazing offer for the festive period...
In January 2018, Tom Baker and Louise Jameson return as the Doctor and Leela in Doctor Who - The Fourth Doctor Adventures: Series 7. This new collection of stories comes in a new format: two box sets of four stories each released in January and then May, at pre-release prices of £20 each on Download, and £25 on CD, going up by £10 on both formats at general release. Subscriptions collect both releases together for £40 and £45 respectively, while those who'd like to pick and choose can get any of the first four stories on download in January for £8.99 each, or any of the second four in May at the same price. Download and CD versions are identical.
And following the release of Series 1 earlier this week, there will be a second series of The New Counter-Measures next December. This is now available to pre-order for £25 on Download and £30 on CD, both prices £5 lower than the general release price.
Going by the critical reception ("The direction is very solid and a good deal of atmosphere is conjured up by Ken Bentley" - We Are Cult) and the many posts and emails we've had, it's been a great year for fans of Big Finish's audio continuation of Survivors. So why not end it with the best news of all: that there will now be a Series 8 and Series 9 in June and December 2018. These can now be pre-ordered each at £20 on Download and £25 on CD, again both formats £5 cheaper than the general release price. Survivors Series 8-9 bundles are available for £40 on Download and £50 on CD for those who want to easily buy them both together.
Our last pre-orders news is that from November next year, we're hugely pleased to confirm four more series of adventures for Kate Stewart (Jemma Redgrave) and her UNIT team in UNIT - The New Series. All four series are from today available for pre-order at £20 on Download and £23 on CD each, each going up on general release to £25 and £30 respectively. A UNIT - The New Series 5-8 bundle collecting them together on Download for £80, and on CD for £90.
Any Big Finish fans interested in all of these pre-orders can make the most of the 2017-19 Pre-Order Bumper Bundles set up just for the extended festive period. These collect all of the above titles - an amazing 36 stories - for just £160 on Download, and £185 on CD. But hurry - these bundles are only live until the end of January 8th (UK time)!

Looking at this list, I'm going to be pretty much bankrupt by 2019. I definitely need to make a list so I don't miss pre-ordering any of them next year  . Cheers Tony |

There is so much stuff and much of it far in advance. It's a bit overwhelming for me. I won't be preordering anything until after the Christmas sale is over at least (unless there is some major announcement that I can't help but click that preorder button, I won't rule that out).

Given there is nothing they could put on sale that I'll be looking for - unless some of the cd only items from the back catologue are released digitally, which I find doubtful - I have happily added these items to my account. Very happy hat there will be more UNIT and more Counter-Measures.

bitter sweet today....my friend gave me the money to buy these...with the proviso that if....(& that's a very big if) he is still around he wants to listen to them!
he knows I am struggling for cash a bit at the moment, but made me order them there and then just in case I tried to use the money on something else.
he is a good soul.
my present to him was to fill up his iPod classic, with the next load....he is now up to 2011-2012 releases
I really do hope he manages to get though everything, BF has given him real joy in his final days, after years of teasing me about listening to them!

That's very nice. While it may be sad, you are able to give him joy and that is one of the best things you can do. Muckypup, stay strong and continue to be the caring person you are. I hope that you start to feel better soon with all the Christmas madness right now. |

I'm going to try and put together the funds to take advantage of this super bundle. Still kicking myself for not being able to spring for the Main Range super bundle the two times it was offered, especially in light of shipping costs skyrocketed the way they did.

That's the sign of a true friend, I'm glad he made you order them it shows that while you are thinking of others, they are also thinking of you. Stay strong in this difficult time. Cheers Tony |
