The whole range of originals sounds great, but I am having a hard enough time listening to everything I already buy.

Ok! I bow to your superior inside knowledge Oh, I don't KNOW. I just don't THINK there is. I think it's just Nigel liking the style of the names. I assumed that Shuffle and Sixpence were partly inspired by lesser-known Agatha Christie detective duo Tommy and Tuppence, who first appeared in 1929. The description of Shilling and Sixpence places them in a similar period, but other parts of the description are different - Tommy and Tuppence are married (Thomas and Prudence Beresford) whereas Shillling and Sixpence aren't. It's plain from the online description that the Shilling and Sixpence stories have been evolving over many years, so even if inspired by Tommy and Tuppence they'll be a considerably different to Christie's detectives. (BTW, if there is any Christie-ish elements to Shilling and Sixpence, I'll be happy - it's a style of story that BF doesn't currently do.)

Shuffle and Sixpence were inspired by Tommy and Tuppence in the first place. Joe Lidster likes his Christie too. (As mentioned elsewhere he co-adapted Murder on the Orient Express for the recent Audible version starring Tom Conti as Poirot.)

Ata Girl looks better and better. An all woman production team with John as honorary lady sounds brilliant.
Also, I'm fairly sure story 2 is a love story by the wording and am very excited by that. There's so many more factors in being true to yourself in that time period and I know theh will tsll the story well.
Also story 1 reminds me of classic wonder woman and Steve Trevor so I am just as excited for that love story too.
I hope these get hard copy options eventually. I assume we'll get a good deal if we already bought it. But I only buy short trips and 1-3 dollar downloads normally but Ata is just looking too good to not have right after it's released.
The one with Eve Myles looks epic as well.

The Complete Series - Episodes I-VI. Not The Complete Series 1. What does that mean? The first series of Cicero, a six-episode adventure, will be available on download from www.bigfinish.com at a pre-order price of £21. This offer includes the pilot of Cicero – Though Scoundrels are Discovered – originally released in February 2017, which listeners can also download individually for a Web Special Price of £5 from www.bigfinish.com.

My point is that there seems to be some confusion over whether this is a full series, or the first 6 episodes of one. The news story and product page imply set 2 would be 'Series 2', while the cover implies it would be 'Episodes VII-[TBD].

Anyone know how long these will stay on offer for? I'm tempted heavily by Jeremiah Bourne In Time but don't want to preorder in case the risk doesn't pan out (I'm hopeful it will though).

I would say not until its released in July for Jeremiah. The overall Bundle possibly not till Human Frontier is released in August 2019.
