Big Finish: Easter offer

Friday, 29 March 2013 - Reported by Chuck Foster

This weekend sees Big Finish celebrate the return of Doctor Who with a special offer on a number of their recent releases.

They're back! This weekend as a special Easter treat, we're rolling back the prices of the Doctor Who special releases to their pre-order states!

Doctor Who: Love and War - an audio adaptation of the classic New Adventures novel, featuring the Seventh Doctor and Ace's first encounter with Bernice Summerfield.
Doctor Who: Dark Eyes - an epic adventure across many worlds and times with an Eighth Doctor wounded from recent losses, a fearless new companion and the ever-present threat of the Daleks.
Doctor Who - UNIT: Dominion - The Seventh Doctor and Raine trip across dimensions while another incarnation of the Doctor teams up with UNIT to fight extra-dimensional incursions. But what's really going on?
Doctor Who: Voyage to Venus/Voyage to the New World: The Sixth Doctor takes his old friends Jago & Litefoot sight-seeing around the cosmos, leading to an ill-fated landing which leads neatly into the new Jago & Litefoot fifth series box set.

Available since the end of last year, the Special Releases are some of our most acclaimed audios.
