I’d like to see David Bradly as the First and Frazer Hines as the Second make an appearance in one of the Out of Times. Particularly the latter as the Second Doctor strangely enough does seem to be underrepresented when it comes to Big Finish.

From Listeners Emails when asked about Out of Time 2 and 3 Nick Briggs couldn't say any details except that the two classic Doctors involved in 2 and 3 are Peter Davison and Colin Baker I was hoping for the Eight/Two pairing from Name of the Doctor

Nick said that announcements need the right timing.I think he is missing the point on "out of time" why would you order a trilogy with just information about the first story!!Ok! its a pretty awesome combination,so maybe BF are banking on this to sell the whole thing!!Me i need more info before considering a pre-order??

Well also its about ordering timing, to get the maximum value for money CD buyers need to order before the 1st release in any set. Regards mark687

So one would still be ok to get free postage on the CD bundle if ordered after release? That's what i was planning anyway.

Is it possible to ask them hold off on sending the physical items from a particular order until all of them have been released? So, for example, you order the Out of Time bundle and get the downloads when they are released but they don't send the order until the last one has been released. I seem to remember something like that to save on posting and packaging residue, but don't know where I heard it.

In order to get a large parcel with just the one Postage and Handling charge if your live Overseas, yes you can, i think you just E-Mail Sales. Regards mark687

I have already ordered the trilogy, but I guess I should have waiting as I can now think of the inclusion of some “Doctors” (inverted comers, because I personally don’t class them as such) that I wouldn’t be interested in... However with Colin Baker & Peter Davison already confirmed I only have two more Doctors to worry about!

I've only just seen it being mentioned on Twitter in the last couple of weeks. The gist was you could add an earlier scheduled release item to an order and get them posted out together when the last scheduled item on the Order was released. Regards mark687

Regards mark687 If I'm interpreting that correctly that's not quite the same thing. Adding a released item to a list of pre-orders and having the released item shipped later is very different to placing a load of pre-orders and asking for none of them to ship until a specified date. I'm certain they said they couldn't do that because it would create too much work for the warehouse staff to keep track of all the "to be shipped" orders.

Yeah, when the per order charge was instituted that was something several of us wrote and asked about. I’d be fine an entire month or two of BF audio getting shipped out together as long as I had the download.

Contrary to what Colin might have you believe, his failure to be present for the regeneration scene doesn't mean it's not a proper one. Particularly after The Last Adventure. It's just so irritating!

That seemed to be what was being described but it wasn't the Customer's specified delivery date as I said, That was based on when the last scheduled item on the Order was released . Regards mark687

Having not yet heard the podcast I am missing the context to...
Request from BF
When Emailing questions feel free to state if you have a CD or DL preference and what your favourite non-Who related Range is
Will it having a bearing on whether they will read your question out!?
Surely if they wanted to know what their customers/fans wanted they only have to look at their sales.
I am not in marketing, but would it be too difficult/expensive to put a link on their website and via the newsletter to an official Big Finish poll? Perhaps even ask the question - “Of the following existing non-Who related ranges, which would you definitely purchase a new instalment?”

Yep, a questionnaire to all who have an email address with Big Finish would seem like the thing to do.

I agree a Survey should be easier, but since we don't know the outcomes of the previous 2, that's a forgone hope. Regards mark687
