I've got them all already, but I'm just poking my head in here to say that I love that Big Finish runs sales like these; what a great incentive for the new and the curious to check out the range. I wish more companies did this.

Spoiler free- How is this range specifically the boxsets? I am sure that you will get a lot of positive responses, however I am probably in the minority, because I pre-ordered the first boxset and was so disappointed that I put it in the charity bag. My disappointment was because I loved the Key2Time trilogy and had expected something along the same light hearted and fun lines. Graceless is a lot more "adult" and it came as a shock. i like the characters and enjoyed them in the Worlds of Big Finish release and would be keen to hear them meet the Doctor or someone like River, but it would have to be in the other persons range. There is a warning on their range for a reason.

Spoiler free- How is this range specifically the boxsets? The first box set is probably the first time Big Finish had gone adult without it being sex comedy like Iris Wildthyme or grim and gritty like Dalek Empire or Cybermen. So it is possible Simon Guerrier was trying to hit the right balance with the first series. Series two is more tonally balanced. All three are worth listening to, with impressive guest stars. David Warner is in the second story of the first box set. For reference, the Graceless story in Worlds of Big Finish takes place between 3.2 The Battle and 3.3 Consequences. Not the ideal listen if you want to be cheered up, but good for some deep thoughts. The basic plot is two sisters with abilities who must adapt to a harsh universe, trying to save people and do the right thing but facing tough consequences for it. While Key 2 Time presented Amy and Zara as good and bad respectively, Graceless blurs the lines. They are forced to mature emotionally away from the mission of reassembling the Key and separated from the influences that initially shaped them. It'd be fair to say that the phrase "No good deed goes unpunished" would be a good tagline.

The box set bundle is a very good deal, for anyone who wants to buy. I'm going to get it. I wavered the last time there was a sale on this range and missed my chance.

Where does The Prisoner's Dilemma take place in The Key 2 Time trilogy? Thanks. It's what Zara went through before she appears in The Judgement of Isskar. There isn't anything essential, but it's a nice look at how she became the way she's first seen in the main trilogy.
