Yes, the sale inspired me to buy several more copies to give as gifts.

Great, great news - and thoroughly deserved! DS continues to be Big Finish's jewel in the crown, and I can honestly say that Blood and Fire is one of the highlights of that run. Many congratulations, roygill!

Yay there were a lot of great nominees this year but this was a very worthy winner. Blood and Fire was bloody fantastic! To be honest, there's always is a good nominee list. So much so that I've been terrible at predicting the winners.
I've thought the Dark Shadows audios have been robbed of the award the last few years - but at the same time I couldn't say the winners weren't worthy ones, especially Iterations of I. Not only that but my 'and if the Dark Shadows play doesn't win then it'll be...' was usually wrong too.
In 2016 I thought Bloodlust would win and if it didn't it'd be Twinkling or Damaged Goods 2015 I did ok, I thought it'd be Darkest Shadow or Iterations of I. In 2014 I so thought The Flip Side would walk it, I didn't even think about which of the others might. Thr Flip Side wasn't just the best DS release of 2013 or even just the best BF release of 2013, it was one of the best things BF had ever done. Possibly even the best.

Not that anyone reading this thread will not have bought this anyway, but ... if you haven't got this: I'd urge you in the strongest possible terms - just short of Cyber thumb-screws in fact - to purchase it. It's one of the bst audios I've ever heard anywhere. So good, in fact, that I occasionally - just very occasionally - go over the top about how good it is.

Such a well-deserved honor! I've noticed that DS has had nominees for the past 6 years--every year of the audio category...is that correct or am I reading that wrong? In any event, it's wonderful that this little American daytime soap opera (with HUGE aspirations, and a lot of heart) that became a pop-culture phenomenon in its 5-year TV run, has lived on in various media for 50 years! And the best of the lot are the Big Finish audios--which hopefully can continue for the foreseeable future! Congrats to Joe, David, Roy, Ursula, the cast, and the production staff for a truly lovely story. How fitting that it was the 50th Anniversary special!

I like it...and for me L&K is the best graphic novel series ever. I'll post my thoughts over the weekend for Blood and Fire.

Dropping in to say thanks for the congratulations It was a tricky one, that script, in terms of the ground it had to cover, but also so much fun to be able to (re)invent younger or completely new members of the Collins clan (and their associated enemies, friends and hangers-on). I do occasionally find myself wondering what other mischief demonic housekeeper Dorothea Summers got up to, or whatever happened to Teddy and Isobel as they wended their way back to New York, stopping for the occasional drink, show tune, and bout of monster-fighting...

I went back and gave this another listen and walked away impressed yet again. I would not say no to some further adventures with Teddy and Izzy Collins in old New York.

I've put on record in other social media but didn't mention it here how thrilled I am for Roy (and the range) about this.
So for the record here... I'm really thrilled both for Roy and the range about this.
The award is richly deserved in my opinion. I know it was a huge amount of work, and it is *so* satisfying to listen to.
And for.Dark Shadows to beat Torchwood and Doctor Who? Wow! That really is an achievement.
Still chuffed for everyone involved.

Who needs an award when someone says something as nice as this? Still, winning would have been nice. Congratulations to Roy and his very deserved win!
