There is one current obvious person missing from the Cast Robert Jezek
Sigh. If we can't get him back in this, the chances of Frobisher returning any time soon is on the small side.

Its been over 20 years since Frobisher's last big finish appearance i honestly don't know why they haven't brought him back yet

I know both his appearances didn’t sell well but I almost wonder if Nicholas Briggs or someone at Big Finish just doesn’t like the character.

I’m hoping that the creative head isn’t that petty to deny fans a chance to see their favourite characters appear on audio besides a sixth doctor, peri and Frobisher boxset could be fun

Question is, if Alex Jordan is going to have a French accent, how convincing will it be?

I know this is UNIT, but it may go some way to fill a large Counter Measures type hole in my life if they are investigating extra terrestrial activity and strange goings on here on Earth. I do hope it doesn't go down the cross-over character (River Song anyone) appearing in every set. Well from the sounds of it it seems to be going down an episodic, more hard-scifi/grounded stories like Countermeasures did and I AM SO HYPED. I don't particularly like Battlefield but Brigadier Bambera is AWESOME!

And yet another standout new artist. This cover looks freaking incredible!! Also, every story sounds SO GOOD! BF is really dragging me in with their recent announcements!

Loving the sound of these stories and that cover. I hope that this boxset is popular enough that we can get a post-Battlefield one with her parallel-universe Arthurian knight husband in it as well one day. I'd love to hear more of Bambera and Ancelyn together.

I don’t think we would be getting Ancelyn back unless he is recasted As I think his actor has retired from acting (shame because I loved his work in Evil Dead 3)

(Although we've been getting a lot more recasts these days, so I wouldn't rule it out.)

I'm in the same boat as you though and hope that we do get to see him in a future set.

There is just something about this Brig that I've always liked. The artwork is stunning and the potential is so there. UNIT of the action packed 90s is just such a great idea. Of course in a follow up, I'd love to see 90s UNIT tangle with the 90s Master. What a fit! What a stand off!
Anyway, I'm buying the heck out of this thing.

Maybe it’s the Space Shuttle on the cover (I just love rockets), but I’m still quite intrigued by this. Must get Battlefield on DVD sometime.

Surely she couldn't have lost Ancelyn at this point then? Ugh I'm confused

It strikes me as odd that this has gone ahead with no other characters from "Battlefield" in it, a story that was perhaps almost as strong in supporting characters as "Remembrance of the Daleks". No Zbigniew, no Ancelyn... still no sign of BF doing anything with Shou Ying. This sounds a missed opportunity - what next, "UNIT: Crichton, Vol 1"?

I wonder how far they’ll go into explaining the details of Ancelyn’s disappearance in this. Maybe what with the defeat of Morgaine at the end of Battlefield, the Knights all just went back to the Arthurian Earth and then sealed it off forever to prevent her making a return?
