Its stuff like this and charlotte pollard that are the reasons i never preorder, or hardly ever. I love big finish but if im spending a large amount of money i expect it to be out in a reasoanble time and not for something to be pushed back again and again and again.

Has anyone on here pre-ordered this??? Yep. On 10th May 2016. There's no point airing my opinions about this latest delay and absence of any explanation because BF clearly don't give a ****.

If people have such an issue with the release date of this, why don't you just e-mail Sales and ask for a refund? I'm sure they're not going to argue with you. Then, when (if) this gets a positive release date, you can pre-order it again, or simply wait until the day of the release. Surely that's better than getting all up in arms about it being delayed? Refund, then ignore it until such time as it gets mentioned that it's officially happening. It's so rare that Big Finish do anything like this that I think it's slight unfair to make such a big deal over the few occasions when they do...

I take your point, but it is because it is so rare that this kind of thing happens that it disappoints so much. I'm not sure it is unfair to react accordingly as there has been no official word on this at all apart from a couple of blase comments.
So much for me not airing my opinions!

Just to note, it's been removed from the December releases - it's now release date TBA FFS appalling behaviour by BF. Just cancel it. People have pre-ordered this & should be given their money back, NOW! Things happen. There is no shame in that but JHD is correct. Big Finish should cancel all orders and refund people's money and they should issue a letter of apology.

This from Facebook, together with a reply from Nick Briggs. I am just sharing this: I am not Jay Barry.

Jekyll & Hyde delayed. The Prisoner v.3 delayed. The Human Frontier delayed. I get that Doctor Who is the bread, the butter and the meat as far as Big Finish is concerned and I get that Nick has lots to do as Executive Producer but man, if this isn't a wake-up call that Nick needs to either manage his time better or hand some of these things off to other very talented people, I don't know what is.

Plus Charlotte Pollard Series 3 ended up getting passed onto another writer and seems to have gotten stuck in the Time Vortex.

The sad thing is that there doesn't seem to be a realization that delays of this sort do very little to encourage people to pre-order. It depends. Liberator chronicles vol 12 was delayed and when it was finally announced anyone who had pre-ordered prior to that point got 11x Remnants free as a goodwill gesture / apology. So maybe, just maybe, whenever J&H is finally recorded and a firm release date announced anyone who pre-ordered may get some sort of freebie as a goodwill gesture. But please don't go pre-ordering on the strength of my optimistic supposition!

I wonder how much Nick spent on lunches reassuring India Fisher that her spin-off would actually go ahead. It took five years for that to be released, and Nick wasn’t on writing duties for that.

There is a reason pollard 3 is delayed
1 and 2 were unrelentingly dark. Darker than survivors

If it wasn’t that it was Charley I wouldn’t have listened to the end. What was so wrong about returning her to the 1930s and giving her fun adventures as The Adventuress. I like to be entertained not depressed.

BF made a major error when they decided to do the Charley spin-off they way they did.
The only reason I am going to buy boxset 3 is because it will be the last and because 8 will be in it - if it was more of the same I would give it a miss.

Nick posted a status on Facebook about how he's currently writing, writing, writing - specifically mentioning The Prisoner. Someone questioned, in the comments section, the progress of Jekyll and Hyde. Nick replied that he is in the process of writing that too.

Wasn't it supposed to be a recording of the play version Nick wrote? Or was it always going to be adapted? I mean I guess it's good to know that it's still a thing but I think we can call it a part of development hell.
