So it looks like people want to do this soon...
There are the four plays in series one and the four discs of series two, which means if we started on Monday then we'd finish the week leading up to Christmas. Or is that too soon? Would people prefer to start it the first week of the New Year?

Is that taking into account that each of series one's plays are three halfish hour episodes, and that Kingdom of the Dead is four longer episodes that are about the length of three normal episode each?

My (slight) preference would be to start in the new year, simply because I've got a lot of other stuff going on at the moment, and even finding it hard to keep up with the brilliant final series of The Confessions of Dorian Gray, although I am managing it, and if the majority wants to start now, I'll go along with it! Even if I find myself a bit behind here and there, I can still join the conversation because I have heard them before. This may be my 10th listen to series 1 and perhaps my 4th or 5th for KotD! Love them! I hope after we do them, we group listen the remainder of the audios that were not part of previous listens.

So we would be doing one disc a week? As in week one The House of Despair, Week Two The Book of Temptation... Week Five Kingdom of the Dead part I...?

Those who don't have these and would like to listen-along can buy all of full cast seasons one and two for £35 on CD, £20 download. But only for this weekend. www.bigfinish.com/bundles/summaryShall we pencil in starting this on the first week of 2017?

Just cracked and reordered Season 1. I had bought these at a bookstore when I was living in London, so they and (Angelique's Descent, which still doesn't have a digital copy) we're on my BF account. Decided for $11 and the number of hours of entertainment I've had from them that $11 was worth it having it on my account on the fancy new Big Finish app.

We never did do this in January, we forgot.
Is there appetite for still doing this?

We usually group them thematically. I'd be up for the 1897 related ones soon actually, as I've not long since finished that era of the TV show.

I'm in! Actually, if Robert and Kim are involved, it's just a given that I will be too. These two pretty much guarantee a good time had by all! I did keep the list of the ones we have NOT done in a group listen. Give me a moment and I'll post them here...beginning with full casts one and two, of course. Then you can arrange the order however you think best, chronologically...thematically...release date....

Well, OK. I'm in too. I had a lot of fun posting far too in-depth thoughts on Bloodlust so doing the other full casts should be good.

I was just thinking the other day that it's about time to give another listen to the earlier box sets.

Do you think the list is too long or daunting? You may wish to skip some...perhaps RtC since its not BF. I always include it in a series listen-thru because it is BF DS canon. And, if we do AD1 & AD2, I'd probably suggest breaking them each in half, for a total of 4. Each is a two disk set, so maybe split them by disk? But, I'll go along with anything.

Some I might have to skip, I think I fell pretty far behind in the last listen-through and the Dorian listen-through I ended up falling out of completely due to circumstances. Some things just go like that, something always seem to go off track when I listen to The Crimson Pearl, I've heard the first few parts many many times but only actually ever finished it twice (perhaps it's haunted). :-)
I'd be happy to aspire to catching whatever items I can though. I'm overdue for another listen to everything on that list.
