It’s the second day of the epic Big Finish sale, and we have 10 more Doctor Who monthly releases available at a special one-day-only of £5 per CD or download!

As Nick said might be the case in last week's podcast, we are sorry to have to announce a delay to the launch of our new website. At Big Finish we are always striving to make things better for you, our loyal listeners, and while in the final phase of testing the new site we realised that we had an opportunity to do just that.

It is with sadness that we report the passing of Jonathan Frid, who died peacefully last week at the age of 87. As vampire Barnabas Collins, he created a truly enduring character and cemented Dark Shadows' place as a pop culture phenomenon. Big Finish was lucky enough to work with Jonathan on the 2010 audio drama The Night Whispers, which featured his one and only return to the role that made him famous.

As Nick mentioned in a recent Podcast and those in the UK may well be aware, the British Post Office in the UK has put up its prices by a very substantial amount. In the case of first class, this rise is over 30% and for second class it’s over 38%.

To mark the release in cinemas of the new Dark Shadows film by Tim Burton, for the three days of the 11th, 12th and 13th May Big Finish will be offering some very special discounts on Dark Shadows audiobook and full cast releases. We are also offering you the chance to download for FREE the first part of the recent Dark Shadows audiobook release, The House by the Sea, starring Colin Baker.

Improvements continue... The latest from our Web Producer, Richard Dinnick.

We have had a few customers pointing out that some orders appear to have postage fees applied to them which seem to have increased our prices. Others are saying that postage fees have been added to pre-orders when in a previous news item we had said there would be none.

We're proud to release the cover image for the upcoming Dark Eyes box set, featuring Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor, Ruth Bradley as Molly, Toby Jones as Kotris and the Daleks!

The Doctor Who main range subscriber special for 2012 is Night of the Stormcrow, a two-part story starring Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor and Louise Jameson as Leela.

Big Finish is enormously saddened to learn of the passing of Mary Tamm, aged 62, who played Romana alongside Fourth Doctor Tom Baker.

Big Finish is delighted to announce that its licence with AudioGO to make Doctor Who on audio has been extended up to December 2015.

“I’m so excited that we can continue our voyages with the Doctor for at least another three years,” says Big Finish executive producer Jason Haigh-Ellery, “and so pleased that AudioGO and the BBC continue to trust us with the telling of these stories.”

It's a Dalek-filled finale for the Fourth Doctor, Romana and K9 in this forthcoming full cast Doctor Who audiobook

We're delighted to announce the release today of Dark Shadows: Dreaming of the Water, the latest instalment in the popular audiobook series.

Big Finish Productions would like to apologize for the temporary problems that have prevented some of our loyal customers from being able to download Doctor Who: Dark Eyes and other releases. As of 21.04 today November 10th 2012, the news is as follows... Problems experienced by our server company in adding extra bandwidth have finally been overcome, but to ease demand, The Shadow Heart and The Return of the Rocket Men have been temporarily made unavailable.

After yesterday's difficulties with our download service, we are pleased to announce that the problems have been resolved and everything seems to be working well.

If you haven’t yet caught up with Doctor Who: Dark Eyes, starring Paul McGann (who starred as the Doctor in the 1996 TV Movie of Doctor Who), you might like to know what those who’ve heard it are saying. It’s a definite thumbs-up from our listeners...

Sally Knyvette, who plays former smuggler Jenna Stannis, and Stephen Greif, who plays Blake’s mortal enemy Travis, are joining the cast of Blake’s 7: The Liberator Chronicles for the fourth volume, out in May 2013.

You spoke, we listened. We are delighted to announce that the Big Finish web development elves have been hard at work ensuring that our trailers and podcasts will now work on mobile devices.

The new Big Finish website forum is now up and running. Thanks to you all for being patient during the transition today.
