To be fair, the announcement has been officially published in DWM. It just happens that subscribers have received it a couple of days earlier than usual. Big Finish publish an article about DWM announcements on the Thursday or Friday, to give the magazine a little bit of exclusivity.
I would imagine the most frustrating thing would have been the cast teasing it on Instagram and Twitter. Even then, it’s an extra bit of promotion from the cast themselves.

No such thing as bad publicity. Yes I’m sure Big Finish and DWM would like to see the information released on their schedule but getting the word out is getting the word out. I don’t see how it hurts sales of the box set in any way, so in the end it really doesn’t matter.

Yes, But not really sure why they even bothered giving DWM an exclusive on it when the cast have been posting photos from the studio the last few weeks. It is pretty much just confirming what we already knew 99% was happening minus the details. But we didn’t have the news that Ace and the Daleks would be involved...that certainly raised these audios in my mind from “no interest” to “hmm interesting”.

I saw more online sites posting the news. Is this the worst kept secret to date? Must be so frustrating for BF on so many levels. Well the younger cast were taking Selfies and tagging BF staff at Every recording session they did, presumably with permission but presumably senior management attended the ones with the older and bigger named cast, and tried for "the cone of silence".

They didn't tag BF, though, did they? People just inferred it was BF because it was the Moat studios and they were together, but there was nothing blatantly "spoilerish" in the stories they uploaded to Instagram. If I remember correctly, Fady was the only one, as well, recording with Sophie and then a couple of weeks later with Vivian. The rest only posted photos of them together during the convention that took place the weekend of the week that first Fady story was uploaded. So, nothing as careless as you seem to be putting it hahaha. I wish they had, that would have saved us a month of speculation and not knowing if it was indeed Class at BF.

There were also a couple of photos with Greg Austin (Charlie), Jordan Rezno (Matteusz), Blair Mowat (composer for Class) and Scott Handcock, who is a very well known Big Finish director... Those photos weren't taken at any convention

Again, those comments are not from Fady's story, that's what that twitter account inferred. I just wanted to point out that there was nothing to confirm that it was BF, just that they were all up to something, even if it was clearly BF if you connected all the dots. And yes, Handcock and Mowatt also did their fair share of teasing. But there was nothing more than "teasing" (they weren't even teasing, just sharing cool things they were doing, as millennials/gen z's tend to do) from everybody involved.

I noticed the 500 copy limit. They really aren't expecting much of an audience for this, are they? Still, they've got one CD purchaser in me, as I'm prepared to give Big Finish's take on Class a fair go

Will definitely be ordering them this morning though 😊
Edit: just ordered the CD bundle

Will definitely be ordering them this morning though 😊 Probably because the TV show didn't garner a huge following and most of Big Finish's customers buy the downloads. It was probably considered not economical enough to have a general release of CDs as there almost certainly isn't a big enough audience for them. (That's how I would interpret it, anyway )

I don't how I feel about Ace popping up to be honest. Class felt very much like it's own thing within the Doctor Who universe - the only overlay I ever really wanted was the fallout of The Doctor's return. The Weeping Angels incorporation felt organic and very natural to the series, as well as reflecting the audacity of the series. I get Ace is one of the companions you could do with it and it's all part of that momentum, but even so....But, I do love what this will mean for Charlie and Quill's relationship in series two.
WE ARE GETTING A SERIES TWO. OH MY GOD.
Twisting the knife further with Charlie and Metruez, is something Big Finish is going to be so perfect at. Bring on the darkness, Big Finish. I know you can do it. Bring all the darkness to this. CLEANSE YOUR SOULS. GET JOHN DORNEY. GET ANDREW SMITH. ALSO GET NICHOLAS BRIGGS FOR THIS. NICK DOES DARKNESS REAALLY WELL.
April dealing with dark emotions. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS.
Yaay, more Maratuez development. YESSSSSSSSSSSSS. I liked him, but I wanted to see more of him outside of Charlie's boyfriend.
