Alright, thanks all! Seems pretty positive on the NA set. I'll see what I can find in the couch cushions, then. The first 2 stories are good, the last 2 creepy and excellent.

So the Ace-Mel trilogy isn't worth it then?....going back and forth between this & the seventh doctor new adventures set.....I know the box set is supposed to be better....but I'm more of a main range collector....not that I'll ever even come close to getting them all.....decisions decisions.....

Hmmm... The trilogy with Mel is what I think I'd recommend from the sale list right after the New Adventures box set, but of course everyone's mileage may vary.

Ah ****... Dark Eyes. They just had to include ALL the Dark Eyes boxsets in the sale at a reasonable price.
And there I was hoping for a procrastination free week...🤦♂️

Lol they missed a trick on the Mary Shelley Trilogy lol They didn't, though? They're on a separate discount. They've been running two New Who sales each week, the one for the doctor number we've reached, and then one related to an actor or character in the episode. So the Mary Shelley titles and the Special Edition Frankenstein are on sale now, code-free.

Now the bundle price is £80, so as a UK CD buyer the sale price + £4 postage cap is £72. So, effectively 10% discount on the normal bundle price which is always very welcome, but is it absolutely 'must do right now'? I think working that out made my procrastination worse, but there we are. *scratches head, looks at next few months' goodies still needing pre-order, looks at backlog, scratches head again*

If you bought Dark Eyes 1 - 4 in the sale it would bring the price down still further to approx £65 for the CDs and about £61 for the downloads. Apologies for feeding YOUR procrastination further, but gratifying to know I am not alone in this....

Ah... excellent point there Brig, I didn't realise they'd give us a double discount, the 'code' sales sometimes don't. I think that might be the last nudge I need, they really are very good value...
Hmm, guess some pre-orders can be delayed for a while... At least we have a few days to think about it!

The Churchill Years sets are included too - can anyone make a particularly compelling case for them?

Regards mark687 Agree, both volumes good but Vol 2 is definitely better. 'Human Conflict' is imo the best story in either set, gripping and very believable wartime moral dilemma. 'Churchill Victorious' sort of covered the same moral ground again, but not as well and with comedy which I thought detracted from it a bit?
'Young Winston' is a very good historical with Madame Vastra (I want Winston to show up in the Paternoster Gang volumes sometime!) and 'I was Churchill's Double' is fun and surprising. Vol 1 isn't as good, but it's still good and at discount prices I'd snap them both up!
