I skipped a lot of the EDA's so I could catch up so I actually did not have these 2 from season 3. Now I do. It will be nice to revisit 8 & Lucie.

Yup, the link appears to be the colour blue. Blue crystal of metebelis 3 and the others are in the titles. We never had a chance of guessing that in advance.

Doctor Blue? A strange non-link link but - All Praise to the Great One! - two EDAs I don't have and guest starring 'my' Doctor's ultimate foe, so thanks BF.

Watching Oxygen I felt convinced that Embrace the Darkness would be in this weeks tie-in sale.

House of Blue Fire means I'm now missing a mere 20 main range titles.

House of Blue Fire means I'm now missing a mere 20 main range titles. House of Blue Fire got me down to 22. Annoyingly I'm still missing The Doomsday Quatrain otherwise I'd have a full set of Hex stories aside from next month's release.

Annoyingly I'm still missing The Doomsday Quatrain otherwise I'd have a full set of Hex stories aside from next month's release. Me too. They were both missed out of a seventh doctor sale last year and it's really bugging me, but I'm not going to crack and pay full price.

I'm hesitating to make any predictions for 'Extremis' after last week's unguessable ' blue' sale, but... ... not a Missy/Master link just yet (probably) so the only other obvious one is the 'church' theme - or as there are monks, maybe the Monk? So maybe 'The Council of Nicaea' (though not sure if a serious historical would be what they'd want?). (Or how about 'The Holy Terror'? ) If they followed a 'Monk' link, 'The Book of Kells' or 'The Secret History' would have the right ambience of secret documents. Difficult. EDIT: So I got that one wildly wrong didn't I?! Go for the obvious in future! On the bright side, I don't need any of these so that gives me free rein to go for broke on the Third Doctor sale!

There is the FDA The Cloisters of Terror as well. Reading the intro with the Vatican ask for the Doctor's help with a book reminded me of All-Consuming Fire I assume Big Finish have no forward knowledge of what the episodes contain, hence them not picking up on the blindness last week. However as he is still blind going into this story so perhaps they will pick up on that?

I think it depends on who it is. Ian I assume is running these sales and he may not know everything but it's highly possible Nick Briggs and others higher up in Big Finish could very much know exactly what is taken place in the episodes.
Edit: Although I am glad Big Finish didn't spoil last week's twist as the sales go up well before it's broadcast in the US and not everyone even in the U.K has a chance to watch the episode live.

OK so I was being far too subtle - they went for the obvious "Master" link and have generously included last year's Masters releases.
Snap up The Masters trilogy if you don't have them. And yes, they are a trilogy even though you may not realise this until you get to 'The Two Masters'. I would never have guessed the connection and it's astonishing!

How necessary are the first two stories to understanding The Two Masters?

How necessary are the first two stories to understanding The Two Masters? You can enjoy 'The Two Masters' (fabulous) without having heard the first two - on the surface they seem like unconnected stories. BUT if you have heard the first two (both very good) and can't possibly work out if it's a trilogy or not - and then you hear the Two Masters - fabulous^2 It's fairly mindblowing when it all drops into place and you realise what you missed. I was utterly astonished by the link and the total change in my perceptions - and very pleased I'd been on the whole journey.

The Two Masters is a flat-out epic masterpiece. Up there with the cream of the Big Finish crop.
I enjoyed And You Will Obey Me and Vampire of the Mind a lot too but The Two Masters is another level entirely. All three highly recommended at that price :-)

This is the first BF sale where I have everything. How exciting I feel like I hit a milestone.

Can you listen to The Two Masters without having heard the other two stories? I love the Multi-Master story idea.
