I love 'em both, so I'll definitely be pre-ordering this!
A welcome back, after far too long away, to writers Jacqueline Rayner and Stuart Manning. I'm looking forward to hearing more from them again.

Is this the first time a release has had full story details and cover art when the release date is a year away? Also very happy that these are post-trial
Edit: Really excited for this and am going to struggle with the 1 year wait

Yes, please! An exciting list of writers and we have an historical! I do like historicals, may have mentioned this before.
I wonder if we will start to see other special "Doctor Number X + Companion Y" box sets to give the MR Doctors extra space, where a Doctor has various Companions on the go? Like they did Seven with Roz & Chris - more of those would be great.
If so, I'd also like a Five+Turlough set, there have only ever been 4 such releases I think? I've heard 3 so far, all excellent and it's a different dynamic with just the two of them.

I'd like either than or a Five/Tegan/Turlough set. There's never been a full-cast story with this team (heck, I think there's only one story, and that's a Companion Chronicle), so it'd be a good way to mark the occasion

It's wild. I watched the show as a kid in the 80s, but even then, stuff like this was hardly endearing. It was just...well, they sum it up themselves:
Yet, thirty years later, the news of a box set made me smile and consider pre-ordering.
Seeing this quote from Nicola Bryant in the BF news piece helped me understand why:
I think that's all kinds of fantastic. I don't need to preach to the choir about the incredible change for the Sixth Doctor.
That said, I will hold off on spending the money now and wait for some reviews. I did that with the Lucie boxset and am glad I held off on making the purchase. Nostalgia is one thing, my limited budget is another.

I totally forgot about The Nightmare Country. Strange, since I'm always on the lookout for more Five/Tegan/Turlough. I'll have to pay more attention in future

I'll have to pay more attention in future I forgot about both the Lost Stories, I think I'd sort of mentally merged them with the new EAs as being 'autumn classic specials' But with so many goodies coming out every month, it's not surprising.
And (after a quick check) I did have them safely pre-ordered, so BF would have remembered for me anyway!

Happy coincidence, it'll be my birthday in about a week's time. I cannot think of anything better to get for next year. 300 minutes of post- Trial Sixie and Peri, what more could one ask for?

No contest really! 😉

I'm surprised it's not coming out until next year - the stories in this set were recorded quite some time ago now.

Seeing Jacqueline Rayner writing a Sixth Doctor story is enough to get me to preorder.

Peri is my favorite companion for Sixie so I'm positively delighted that there's plenty of new Six/Peri stories coming out. It'd been a while and I'd been missing them. Hopefully, it won't be so long between adventures next time. Also hoping for some more Five/Peri stories in the future.

Yay, finally! I have been waiting for this announcement for a while now. Sixie and Peri are among my favorites! And the stories sound fun, too. Instant pre-order.
