This weekend, there are discounts on the entire first series of Doctor Who - The Early Adventures! Launched in 2014, Big Finish's Doctor Who - The Early Adventures has been hugely popular, as brand new stories are told, set in the first two eras of Doctor Who. They're audio adventures in black and white! This weekend, all four of the first stories are each reduced in price to £6 on Download and £7.50 on CD (instantly unlocking a digital version). See below for a very special bundle price over the weekend too: The first series includes: Doctor Who - The Early Adventures: Domain of the Voord by Andrew Smith and starring William Russell and Carole Ann Ford: Doctor Who - The Early Adventures: The Doctor's Tale by Marc Platt, starring William Russell and Maureen O'Brien: Doctor Who - The Early Adventures: The Bounty of Ceres by Ian Potter, starring Maureen O'Brien and Peter Purves: and Doctor Who - The Early Adventures: An Ordinary Life by Matt Fitton, starring Jean Marsh and Peter Purves: The first series of Doctor Who - The Early Adventures can be bought as a bundle collecting all four stories together for just £24 on CD (with free UK postage) and £20 on Download. Why not use the new iOS or Android Big Finish apps to listen on the go? The second series of the Early Adventures is also available as a bundle, while the third series starts soon in September and kicks off with Doctor Who - The Age of Endurance - subscribe today for savings! All offers end at mid-day (UK time) on Monday 29th August. Check out the index for the Early Adventures here. |

Interesting to look at the prices. Brexit seems to be having a much bigger impact than I realised - sale items have been becoming progessively more expensive, from £5 CDs from before to £7.50 now.

Yeah £2.50 doesn't sound alot, but times that by three and that's an extra £7.50 and that's a sizeable amount of money for someone like me who only has a limited BF budget, a few of the sales they've had since Brexit I would have otherwise been tempted to take a gamble on I've passed on as I'd rather put the extra money towards the stories I'm really interested in, the early adventures is a range I've long been interested in, but I'm planning on pre-ordering a few other stories next month (War Doctor, Cold Fusion,TDORS (and possibly CD:NM depending on whether they announce a release date) etc)... I don't think downloads will increase in price too much, but I could easily see a £1 or £2 increases in CD prices becoming the new standard, I've bought stories for £3 before on sales, and small though the increases will be, they all add up for a CD only customer... |

I think £6 is the norm for main range and 4DAs. I certainly hope so anyway.
I'd dare say these are £7.50 as they are a special range and still quite new. It is still £6 each when buying the series as a bundle.

It is still £6 each when buying the series as a bundle. I agree, and can't see any reason to make a link to Brexit. The 8 and Lucie adventures went on sale this year for higher prices than last year so I think in general sales are becoming slightly less generous. I would imagine stock levels have something to do with it as well. If a title has a massive amount of CD's sitting in the warehouse, then they'll want to offer them at a bargain price. This sale is being done more to promote the new range than to shift surplus stock, so I think the CD price probably only reflects the extra cost involved in producing a physical product. |

I've been waiting for this sale for ages.  Agree about prices creeping up (maybe we've been spoiled for too long?), but the bundle price is brilliant at £24 with free postage. Chriss C. |

Normally I wouldn't complain too much about different prices, but I was hoping that purchases would be cheaper with the exchange rate improving; as it is, it's remaining at a constant level regardless. But I feel I've said/complained too much about this now, so I'll (try) not to go on about it any more |

Besides which, you are right that purchase prices should be fair and I hope it evens out soon.

If anyone is on the fence regarding 'The Doctor's Tale' - I have read that some found it boring - I would like to absolutely recommend it. Yes, it is a slow-burner of a story, but that helps make it one of the most authentic 'First Doctor era' story I've ever heard. It's a wonderfully atmospheric tale, and I heartily recommend it |

Thanks to the long weekend in the UK I was still able to take advantage of this sale today: I ended up getting Domain of the Voord & The Bounty of Ceres which were the two I didn't have.

I'm not fan of historical stories but I absolutely loved it. |

I preferred The Bounty of Ceres myself, but I enjoyed the first three releases immensely for different reasons. An Ordinary Life didn't work for me. I thought the setup was good, but the resolution was pretty dire. |
