Paul Cornell's latest blog post features a bit from James Goss promising next year: "there’ll be a very special series of adventures; we’ll be unearthing some forgotten treasures of the Benny archive; there’ll be a documentary; and there’ll be a cake" There's also a discount code for 40% off the first 11 seasons, and the 5 solo boxsets, valid until the 20th!

Very special series of adventures ..... a Benny throughout the ages boxset? One with WarnerDoc, one with NAseven, one in the Braxiatel collection and one where she finally reunites with Peter?

The discount also works on all of Benny’s Novel Adaptations plus the code works in tandem with the current sale (3.90 per NA download)

This is cool for all those wanting to catch up on Benny... Except, why at this juncture do they still not have downloads for all Benny's releases? Surely the 20th anniversary would have been an ideal to get that sorted.
Or if it's not going to be possible, just tell us, "not going to happen".

Well... that was a nice discount. Saved £60+ and now have all of the Benny single releases! Just a shame they're not on download too so I'll have to wait for them to arrive, but another range completed!

I picked up Original Sin on Download with the code, which is nice. I really wish the original Benny Series was available for download though.

At least clearing the rights for Year Zero and Dead Man's Switch would be a start, as they are an ideal jumping on point and lead into Epoch. |

There still part of Series 11, though, regardless of being jumping on points. |

True, but I believe Year Zero makes for a better starting point than Epoch, which launches Benny into strange things she feels the need to investigate. Making that available on download would be a far more effective way to hook people into the Benny line affordably (the Epoch box set isn't entirely cheap). |

It's still got the Series 11 branding, though, which is a bit off-putting to a new listener. |

Escaping the Past and Resurrecting the Future were promoted as big season finale and come across this way in the synopsis and covers. You can have lead ins for upcoming storylines at the end of seasons. Buffy's season four finale was chock full of foreshadowing for season five, the penultimate episode seeing off the season's big bad. |

I'm still glad I took the plunge during a previous sale, prior the jack-up in shipping costs to the USA, having gotten tired of waiting for BF to sort out the download rights issues.

As I said before, I can't imagine Big Finish not trying their best to sort out the download rights issues. It has affected Benny's sales and lead to the recent relaunch. I can't imagine not anyone who isn't gritting their teeth more about it then Big Finish. |
