I wish they would do the missing novels, what ever Gary Russell n the team say until series 6/7 there are huge jumps in continuity.
Also a proper introduction would be a good to the range would be on my wish list too.

When's Augest?

Post by number13 on Mar 19, 2018 21:42:50 GMT
It's the most extremely Augusty bit of August, the Augest day of all, the high point of late summer. For Benny fans in 2018, this will obviously be the day on which a Treasury of stories is released read by Lisa Bowerman; an unbeatable high point and so a clear signal that Augest has arrived! (Naturallly, the phenomenon of Augest only occurs in the northern hemisphere. In the south, the equivalent is Febrilest, the most febrile day of Feburary. SOURCE: Old Pigbin's Almanack 1871)

An exciting list of authors and an obvious pre-order for me, v.good value collection. Were all of these stories in the BF Benny books from the early 2000's? All new to me of course, which will be an extra bonus.

I think they're all new Regards mark687 They're all taken from previously released Benny anthologies, like how the subscriber Short Trips started with readings of stories from the Short Trips books.

That's what I thought at first (but have they been re-named then? There's 2 titles that sound similar to ones in A life worth living for example).

The Evacuation of Bernice Summerfield by Ben Aaronovitch (Missing Adventures, full title The Evacuation of Bernice Summerfield Considered as a Short Film by Terry Gilliam)Walking Backwards for Christmas by Ben Aaronovitch (Something Changed)The Library of Books by Andrew Cartmel (Missing Adventures)A Mutual Friend by Terrance Dicks (A Life of Surprises)The Least Important Man by Steven Moffat (The Dead Men Diaries)Solar Max by Kate Orman (A Life of Surprises, full title Solar Max and the Seven-Handed Snake-Mother)And Then Again by Rob Shearman (A Life of Surprises)The only one I can't match is Eternal Spring by Paul Cornell, but there is a story he's written called Misplaced Spring, published in A Life Worth Living. Alternatively it's the only original story in the set, or a story he had written for an anthology but never got to publish. Misplaced Spring was his last story for the short story anthologies, and either that or Life During Wartime was the last collection he edited.

Looking at the names for these stories, some are pretty whack. Sex Secrets of the Robot Replicants anyone? Three guesses as to who is in that one. Fine, it's Jason and his xenopornology publications.

Heresy, I'm sure, but I've found the short stories to be the BEST Benny material. Better than the novels, and better than the audios too on the whole (the new adventures box sets being an honourable exception).

In his latest newsletter, Paul Cornell says his contribution to the release is Misplaced Spring, so I think BF forgot to copy edit or renamed it for some reason.

There was probably a delay in getting the rights to the stories.
