Edit:See its been said up thread about the single releases being put in the accounts of those who already purchased back in the day, thats cool though and they didn’t need to do that They’ve always been accessible on the app to those who bought before the license ended. I can see them on there right now. Yes I admit the statement seemed redundant seeing as i can still Dl the Highlander DLS . Edit In fact I can't currently Regards mark687 |

Mmm...it would have been disheartening, if they didn't honour that. I specifically bought all 6 Robin Hood titles on download and when the range was retired customers were told by Big Finish that those stories wouldn't disappear from our accounts. Just like they announced last week that the retired Martian Chronicles will remain within our download libraries of purchases. I appreciate that Robin Hood has its own hub again (even if it only shows 1 complete release), because within our accounts we now have the option of using a "Robin Hood" range filter to find its previous 6 single releases. To locate something like the discontinued Sigmund Freud Files you have to either type it into the search engine or trawl through all your downloads. I didn't realize that the Robin Hood titles had been removed from our download accounts. It might have occurred when Big Finish did their last major refresh of their website a few years ago. I'm confident that Big Finish did the best that they could concerning this matter. Oh don’t get me wrong i totally agree, it would have been disheartening if they hadn’t and i and really glad they did. Somewhat unrelated but i wish bf would keep ranges and releases up on the website (easily accessible) even if they aren’t available to sell anymore or OOP. Its annoying having to scrawl through the internet to find details on these fairly niche releases. Like the robin hood stories, today i was trying to find which reader read which specific release of the original 6 releases but these web pages aren’t accessible. You can glimpse them through a web browser but clicking on the page redirects to a 404. I think it would be nice if they kept these up for prosperity and had then accessible through the website When it came to the retiring of Highlander, Stargate and Robin Hood it was understood that all mention of those products had to be removed from the public view on the BF storefront. Thankfully, previous buyers of those range titles were even allowed continued access to those downloads from their accounts (or at least that was the plan at that time). It's probable that Big Finish would proudly display their past works of lost licences on their website as interesting references, if they could. |

The account search filter (presumably only for previous buyers) does now have a so far empty "Robin Hood" title reveal option on it. I guess, I'll have to wait with bated breath until October for them to reappear within my account. |

Huh thats odd. I was only going of the tweet from big finish at the top of the page. Are the other lost license ranges also available on the app? I seem to remember a big thing when big finish lost the licence for a whole ton of property's at once was about how people couldn’t even download or access them anymore, so its surprising if the robin hoods were there, i feel that must have been a mistake on bfs part In the app I can see Robin Hood and the few 2000 AD titles I bought. Sapphire and Steel, I think, was only ever on CD?The other lost licenses (Highlander, Stargate and Tomorrow People) I had to buy elsewhere so if they did return to sale as downloads I would likely buy again, price permitting, so as to have access to them in the app. Sadly that is correct. |

Just had the newsletter drop into my Inbox...this announcement has certainly come out of nowhere! Slightly curious as to why now (the only thing I can think is that next month marks fifteen years since the show premiered on BBC1 - is there a cult following for the series?), but I'm not complaining. Six hours of audio for just fifteen pounds is bound to find it's way to my backlog in due course... The 15th anniversary thing makes sense, but BF's previous license expired around 6 or 7 years ago so it might just be happy coincidence that they've been able to sort out the rights in time for it. I can go with happy coincidence.  |

Those are the only ones I got but I m happy about the return of Robin Hood as I was going to buy the set with my net paycheck and then they lost them. I know I used to could listen to Highlander on the app (I did), but I can't find them on it anymore. |

This is why I always back up downloads. I don't trust BF site or app Which is exactly what they advise you to do on the website. Good boy.

I loved this show. This is good news, and it was great to hear Richard Armitage talk about on the podcast today.

I've listened to the first three episodes of this series so far, and I have to say I'm extremely glad I didn't listen to them between the TV episodes the Big Finish website says they slot between. Not only do some of the audios contain spoilers for episodes that haven't actually happened according to their chronological placement, but none of the three I've heard even fit with the continuity of the TV series! There is literally no way they can fit into the third TV series, and they can't go into the first two series as the cast line up is different. I don't know what the writers were thinking when they wrote these stories, but they clearly didn't give a damn about continuity  As for the story themselves, I've liked all three. I wouldn't say they were anything exceptional, but having re-watched most of the series over the last couple of months (I've just got the two-part Series 3 finale to go) that's pretty standard really. But the show doesn't have to be dark, gritty take on the tale of Hood, so these audios, if nothing else, certainly keep to the spirit of the TV show |
