Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born on this day so that's probably why there's a sale.

Not beyond the realm of possibility, I do recall hearing they had one ready to go.

I’ll repeat it every time a Sherlock Holmes sale rolls around:
The first five hours of Jonathan Barnes’ run (The Adventure of the Perfidious Mariner and first box set, The Ordeals of Sherlock Holmes) are among Big Finish’s finest works. A hugely satisfying and self-contained arc that spans decades and expertly weaves around the Conan Doyle stories without requiring any knowledge of them. Hugely recommended.

A genuinely great run of stories that weaves in and out of the Canon but is also fully open to anyone who only knows the basics of Sherlock & Watson.

The only complaint I could possibly make about this consistent and brilliant series is that they haven't pursued their original intent of weaving Conan Doyle's stories with original tales. BF's adaption of The Hound of the Baskervilles in particular, is a mighty adaption.
Still, the sooner they can slot the new stuff into the schedules, the better!

Hey Mark, just checked and it is only the two sets for Doctor no. 5. I think the 12 parts referred to in the article are half hour each (similar to The Last Day). One big point is that the individual pre order prices for these sets has increased to 19.99 which only a couple of years back would have got you a four story set. I do totally appreciate rising costs, the industry I work in is having the same thing happen, but it really does mean that my number of pre orders per year has reduced. There was a time I'd be getting 3-4 releases a month whereas I'm way more selective now and will only pick up 1-2. This does mean that I have been giving my old releases a lot more time and rediscovered some great stories I've not heard in years.

£335/15 = £22.33 for a three disc set. (Download is £18.33.) If you knock off the £10 gift card it works out at £21.67 eacg. So it works out a bit cheaper than buying any of this year's box sets at normal pre-order prices (except the Fourth Doctor ones).

Great News except the price hike The third Doctor adventures sound cool so a story between spearhead and ambassadors could be interesting So The 4th Doctor now gets 3 box sets a year in just thought 3 boxsets a year was something that was done for the 50th anniversary of robot A 12 part story for The 5th Doctor sounds great does that mean the 2026 Boxsets continue the story? Lot of tight lips regrading the 6,7&8th doctor adventures wonder if one of the stories features the zygons for 8

So it works out a bit cheaper than buying any of this year's box sets at normal pre-order prices (except the Fourth Doctor ones). Apologies, I may have missed out some context. As someone who pre orders the sets individually (and download only) to focus only on those that I'm interested in, over just the last three years these have gone from 16.99 to 18.99 and now to 19.99. Whereas for 19.99 a few years back you could pre order a download only four story set. I know I would save money pre ordering the massive bundle but, for starters, I don't have around £300 to spare up front and secondly I'm unlikely to want every set anyway.

Also, the pre-order price is now the same as the non-pre-order price from last year.
