No idea what Graceless is nor have I yet seen the TV episodes this alludes to. However, Leela and 5 were amazing together in Time in Office and I hope this will be equally fun and bring the same great energy. There is to hope. Plus, Simon Guerrier has written a few stories I really liked, so how bad could it be?
I am just surprised they are offering it at such a low pre- order price compared to other 3 story releases.

The Key 2 Time trilogy is one of my absolute favourite main range trilogies.
So happy to see that they will all be getting a reunion, plus Leela!
Another instant preorder

Just preordered this looking forward to a fun romp with Leela and 5 sniping at each other.

Heh, we'll see. I'm not especially looking for this compared to the Six and Peri box set coming next August but I've heard good things about Graceless.

Just as an aside I bought the first Graceless box set, but it wasn’t to my liking. The write up does warn that it is more adult in nature.
But as I said I really like the sisters in Key 2 Time and enjoyed their inclusion in The Worlds of Big Finish.
Plus how great is it that this is coming out in November. That is November 2020, not November 2021, but November 2020! But I guess that is the difference between a newly created story and one that is lost.

This box set is "only" 3 hours long though, that's one less than the 4 other sets. Edit : which explains the lower pre-order price, tuigirl.

If at all you're interested in checking out their other stories (and I will freely admit that even though I enjoy them I can understand how not everyone would), their storyline runs: Monthly Range #117: Key2Time, Part 1: The Judgement of Isskar (5th Doctor) Companion Chronicles 3.08: The Prisoner's Dilemma (not critical, features Ace and one of the sisters) Monthly Range #118: Key2Time, Part 2: The Destroyer of Delights (5th Doctor) Monthly Range #119: Key2Time, Part 3: The Chaos Pool (5th Doctor) GracelessGraceless IIGraceless III The Worlds of Big Finish Part 1 "The Archive" (set during Graceless III) Graceless IVAnd now this new 5th Doctor set, which to me reads as though it is effectively Graceless V.

The classic Doctors box sets are not that expensive in general, just look at the Eighth Doctor Adventures. + Maybe there's a licence fee for the Paternoster Gang ?

Hang on. I must have missed the origin of the earlier 5th Doctor Volume 1 discussion. The past couple of days posters have been commenting on the paucity of 5th Doctor box sets and non MR releases and then this pops up. Was something expected or rumoured, to kick off the speculation?

So is this Five’s “anniversary” box set? Was just thinking earlier today that his one never did transpire.
