Delays to Benny and Sapphire and Steel
from Big Finish News RSS
(2008/7/20 11:55)

Big Finish regretfully have to announce delays to two releases schedule for July. The final release in the third season of Sapphire and Steel audio dramas, Wall of Darkness will now be released in August. Similarly, the Bernice Summerfield audio adventure, The Adolescence of Time has also been postponed to August. This will have a knock-on effect of putting back the following two Benny plays by a month each. In both instances, these delays have been caused by extra time being required in the post-production for each play. Big Finish apologise for any annoyance caused. The cover and cast details for Wall of Darkness are now on the site. Also online is the cover for The Diet of Worms , the final release in the ninth season of Bernice Summerfield audio dramas.
