Question to anyone I dipped in and out of the BF Sherlock, are they chronological or self contained, as listening as I type this of the most recent release I sort of get the feeling that I need to re-listen to the last one. Apparently everything since The perfidious Mariner to Sacrifice is "self-contained and loosely connected".
Regards

There is to be a 'three-part epic' Sherlock Holmes adventure next year, followed by a Christmas Special. Great news!

When/how was this announced? I asked Nick Briggs about it on Facebook, and he said how he meant to mention the forthcoming releases on the latest podcast but forgot!

I asked Nick Briggs about it on Facebook, and he said how he meant to mention the forthcoming releases on the latest podcast but forgot! Thank you for the clarification. I look forward to hearing more. Both will be automatic pre-orders as I have really loved these Jonathan Barnes stories. That is assuming it is the same writer. The only potential downside to this news is that if Sherlock Holmes has a Christmas special next year that could mean there will not be a Jago & Litefoot Christmas special or perhaps I should be optimistic and they will be like buses - having waited for a Victorian Christmas special for so long next year two could come alone at the same time!

No problem There seems to be a clamouring for Christmas Specials for our favourite releases. And understandably so. There already was a BF Sherlock Holmes story - perhaps it was 'Holmes and the Ripper' but I can't remember - that ended with the old sleuth wishing every a Merry Christmas! That doesn't mean it counts as a Christmas story, of course! And yes, a Jago and Litefoot Christmas Special would be very nice. There's some traditionally festive about picturing the two veterans sitting in front of a roaring fire sipping (or gulping) brandy and reminiscing about adventures past. My favourite Christmas Special - one of my favourite BFs of all time, actually - is the Dorian Gray story story 'Desperately Seeking Santa', with David Warner perfectly cast as the most macabre Father Christmas of them all. If you haven't heard it, I recommend it fully, especially if it comes up in the present sale.

From what ive read here, it looks like a decent investment as my first non doctor who foray into Big Finish. I was lookin at one, and the info helped.

Don't know why I held off on listening to Sacrifice until now but this is fantastic. I just finished up with episode three. What a great cliffhanger.

Now then, this promised three-part epic and Christmas Special. I'm beginning not to feel optimistic!
