It's getting late, but I'll get The Inside Story tomorrow. Seems a good deal.

It is a good price for the 5 box sets bundled together (though I think they've raised the base bundle price by £10 from £100 just for this sale but I might be mis-remembering the price).
Also Original Sin has only just came out six months ago so that is definitely a good price.

Excellent! I've not had much experience with Bernice Summerfield (only the two Main Range releases), but I've been wanting to give her a go for ages. I thought the best (and, admittedly, cheapest) place to start would be with The New Adventures of Bernice Summerfield, so I grabbed the Volume 1-3 bundle (Was going to order some more stuff alongside them, but since there is likely to be a Counter-Measures sale next month, I'm waiting til that instead ).

You're in for a treat with 'The Triumph of Sutekh' - the only one of these I've heard as yet and it's outstanding! (Bought 3, will buy 1 now, 4 is pre-ordered - all on the strength of set 2. It's that good! )

I'm gonna pick up the Novel Adaptations, and maybe one other. Which would anyone recommend? Series 5, New Adventures Box 1, or Unbound?

Excellent stories with a cracking cast. Warner is delightful and acts as a great foil for the ever-terrific Bowerman, and Kisgart's Master is one of my favourite interpretations of the character - silky and suave. And it's all so deliciously free from the established continuity in a way that feels fresh and exciting.

I admit, I'm not a huge Bernice Summerfield fan; what little I've heard of her didn't impress me that much... but this sale did have a couple things I wanted: two of the Novel Adaptations (Theatre of War & Original Sin), and the Unbound Universe set (I've been wanting to hear Warner return to playing the Doctor... Sympathy for the Devil is one of my top favorite audios). I'm somewhat curious on The Triumph of Sutekh, but budget-wise I think I'll save that for another time.
Still, it's been a nice week of sales, particularly for someone like me hoping to fill out what few gaps I have left in my collection! I always love sales that highlight the more underappreciated ranges!

Had hoped for a bigger discount but still tempted by Theatre of War, Original Sin and The Unbound Universe. Are they worth getting?

Picked up 4 of the novel adaptations and completed the range, they probably aren't going to go on sale again for a while.

Sadly the money raised from this sale will hardly make a dent in Benny's bar tab.

Went ahead and got the first series of Benny solo CDs. Weirdly the price for Series 1 in a bundle went up while some of the others went down but oh well.

According to the podcast only one code can be used per order, so if you want to use more than one you'll need separate orders.

If I were to start off with Benny, would the Epoch box set be a good place to start?

If I were to start off with Benny, would the Epoch box set be a good place to start? It's a good jumping on point. However Year Zero and Dead Man's Switch give a great intro to Benny as a character and the kind of situation she tends to find herself in, as well as setting up the world in Epoch. Year Zero was written to be the ideal jumping on point where all you need to know you are given in the story.

I made out like a bandit this week on stories I wanted. Sure I didn't get everything I could, but I focused on what I thought was important

After spending £100 on the Benny sale I ummed and ahhed on whether to get Vienna. I noticed the sale was still active now though and decided to get it as it is a great price at £41.50.
Will get Graceless and Iris when the sale comes back around next year.
