For a short time, you can buy the first Bernice Summerfield Box Set, Epoch, for a bargain price! It's a great release, and a perfect jumping on point for the Benny stories.

Underwater monsters, ancient legends and archaeologists from the future! All of this and more with this week's special offer!

We hope you enjoyed Before the Flood! And if you're still eager to enjoy some underwater menaces, why not check out our special offer on Bernice Summerfield: Epoch – available to buy today for just £15 on either CD or Download.

This five-disc set begins an all-new era of discovery for the universe's greatest archaeologist Professor Bernice Summerfield (Lisa Bowerman). Trapped in the ancient city of Atlantis (well – one of them anyway), Benny finds herself embroiled in the schemes of Greek Gods and Men. With the help of temple priestess Ruth (Ayesha Antoine), our hero is put on the trail of the mysterious Epoch – a deadly force with a sinister plan for the city.

Featuring stories by Mark Wright, Jacqueline Rayner, Tony Lee and Scott Handcock, this special box-set also contains the animated short film Bernice Summerfield: Dead and Buried – together with a video documentary produced exclusively for this release! Order your copy today - but hurry, offer must end Noon Monday 12th of October.

You can discover more of our Bernice Summerfield box-sets on the product pages here, or check out her earlier single-disc adventures or even in her own range of novels. Special collected bundles are also available.

And for more adventures with the Benny and her friends, why not look out for the brand new BBC Book Doctor Who: Big Bang Generation by Gary Russell – where the Twelfth Doctor and Benny cross paths in modern day Sydney. It's a fantastic timey-wimey adventure filled with some very special easter eggs – and you can even win a copy by listening to our recent Big Finish Podcast.

I have the New Adventures of Benny, but have been put off the old series because of the amount of back catalogue she has. Toying with the idea of trying this one... Cheers Tony

That was when Big Finish deliberately jettisoned the continuity and backstory and put more focus on Benny as a character, and shying away from massive continuity arcs. Some of the old cast, like her son Peter, are reintroduced gradually, but in new storylines that don't rely on old backstory.

There was too much odd continuity in the early material. Gary Russell suggested on the old forum that an adaptation of "The Squire's Crystal" and "The Glass Prison" be asked for, and I think we should still ask for it. If Benny is only coming out in "The New Adventures of.." boxes then a 2CD version of those two books is feasible (or even download only).

I know hindsight is a wonderful thing but crossing essential continuity through the audios and novels like that was a really stupid idea.

Absolutely and now even more ridiculous since any newbies have to read TARDIS Wiki to try and fill in gaps. Short sighted at best.

I recall that Jac Rayner did post in that thread at the old forum where Gary Russell made that suggestion. She seemed flattered that some of us would like a reprint. Then she basically said, "Leave it to us." I always wonder if there will ever be further developments on that front.

Time for an email to Vortex I feel. Or for the Podcast.

That would be equally good. They'd be interstitial titles then.

Those are the only two of the BF Benny novels I don't have (I'm also missing the Life of Surprises anthology) so, in the seeming absence of much chance of tracking down a printed copy, an audio adaptation would be a fine alternative.

I've just got two of the original Virgin Benny books to track down too. Not bad going considering I had none of her books at the start of the year.
