Not really. The bundle was the box sets at their special pre-order price before, which was £20. They then went up to £40, making the bundle cheaper. This bundle is £10 dearer. But the preorder price for each CD set this time is £23. Probably still going up to £40 after (although nobody pays those prices surely). So the bundle does save you money, it's just the individual sets that have gone up in price. Only £2. |

Are the New UNIT stuff worth it? Not that big a fan of their television appearances.

This is just sloppy, moving on to a whole new bloc of releases without even bothering to release all of the first. And they haven't even announced the third they've been so busy hyping up the fourth. I hate to say it, but Big Finish have gone bad... *shakes head sadly* I think that single disc behind the scenes documentary must have been the third release. I'd feel conned if I actually had it. Or do I have it? |

i'm still ticked off that they cancelled the original Unit series, I liked it. As for the new one, I haven't listened to any of them so far, I think.

When the first four sets were announced, I only preordered because they were the first new series box sets. This time I've preordered because I want more.

This is great news!!! The Unit releases have been constantly up to snuff with the best of the best at BF. Here's to more great boxsets.

I loved the boxsets that are already out, and I'm really looking forward to hearing Jo, Yates, and Benton team up with Kate and her team. It would be cool if they could tie things into the TV show a little bit more. It would be cool to see Josh or Sam showing up on the TV show, or having two Osgoods show up in the audios,

The home page's featured news story in the left pane now advertises the 2017-19 preorder bundle. It includes the text Is it just a typo, or the promise of something more?  (Yeah, I know, I can dream.  ) |

My only request is that Klein show up & be part of the team.

One of the titles needs to be "Duplicated" and deal with the fallout from the Zygon peace deal, the two Osgood etc.
maybe it could be where we get a recast Harry and perhaps redeem the character after the TV show turned him into a potential war criminal (seriously, chemical warfare is a war crime).

I don't think they can do that, as the two Osgoods is a concept introduced in the 12th Doctor era. I could be wrong since there are two Osgoods in DotD, and, logically, there would've been two Osgoods since then. But I think all the New UNIT stories have taken place before DotD. |

Not quite, IIRC all BF's New Series stuff needs to take place prior to the end of Time of the Doctor, so they very well could have UNIT stories set after Day, but prior to Dark Water. |

That wasn't the tv show. It was Ian Marter's own book that put him working at Porton Down; the reference to his dreaming up an anti-Zygon thing isn't an unreasonable extrapolation (especially if one of the alternative endings in the fourth/eighth Doctor novel "Wolfsbane" is the correct one....) |

It still makes him a war criminal. IIRC "Harry Sullivan's War" has him working to find a counter-agent to Anthrax... which makes it a HUGE leap from that to "let's make a gas that'll kill a lot of innocent beings". |

I'd like to hear either Jack, Bambera or both working with the modern day UNIT. Bambera is called in, is told someone else has been as well, sees Jack coming, says "Shame" and the theme music kicks in.

Except at the time they weren't "innocent beings", they were "hideous alien monsters". Doctor Who has many examples of people doing things to aliens which would probably be considered war crimes if they'd been done to humans. The Brigadier blowing up the Silurians for example. |

The Silurians was akin to the Bombing of Hiroshima, a necessary war crime, they had (after all) just tried to exterminate humanity. Chrmical Warfare is never justified. Because it's indiscriminate. Post-Day of the Doctor, which is when Harry made the gas, the Zygons were refugees. |

I thought Harry made the gas post Android Invasion, but decades pre Day of the Doctor, when earth was terrified these aliens might come back and try to invade again. |

I thought that was when he made it as well, so its post Terror of the Zygons/The Android Invasion for sure, because at some point between then and The Zygon Invasion The Doctor came and took it away (at Harry's behest i always thought anyway) |
