Download the First Ever Big Finish Audio Drama Completely Free Now!

Well, this is a treat! You can now download Big Finish’s first ever audio drama, starring Lisa Bowerman, Nicholas Briggs, and the late Nicholas Courtney completely free!

From the days before Big Finish began to produce Doctor Who stories comes a tale of an intergalactic archaeologist and her cat, Wolsey, based on the Virgin New Adventures book. Yes, it’s Bernice Summerfield: Oh No It Isn’t!, written by Paul Cornell and adapted by Jacqueline Rayner.  

Over the coming weeks, Big Finish is releasing a selection of giveaways including free and discounted releases, entitled Weekly Freebies. Each download will be available for one week only, and comes accompanied by a special discount offer on related titles, available as either downloads or collector’s edition CDs or box sets.  

Here’s the synopsis for Bernice Summerfield: Oh No It Isn’t!:

“The King’s balls get bigger every year!” 

What could possibly go wrong on Professor Bernice Summerfield’s investigation into the lost civilisation of Perfecton? Nothing, it seems – until they leave the planet and spot a dirty great missile heading towards their ship. But instead of oblivion, Benny finds herself plunged into the strange world of… panto. 

Big Finish listeners can also get Bernice Summerfield – Series 1-4 as collector’s edition CDs and, for the first time ever, digital downloads, for just £2.99 each (40% off usual price)! CDs for Series 1-4 will be going out of print – once the current stock is sold it will not be repressed. Fans can also get the entire series 1 as a bundle for just £17 and series 2, 3 and 4 available as individual series bundles for just £11 each at the Big Finish website
