I was just wondering if Big Finish could answer this for me. I know that with the downloads there is the front cover but is there any chance of having the whole booklet. I have the downloads because a cd in a think plastic case takes up less space than a normal CD case but I like to look at the inside of the booklet.

Also I have to say that I think this year has been the best for Doctor Who audios. I have been buying Big Finish since 2004 and have loved every single story.

I think that the booklets are a luxury for the CDs and having them in the downloads will make CDs less popular.

Exactly, we don't need them with even fewer customers.

The booklets are nice to flick through - once! Apart from that, they don't serve much purpose. Although I don't see why a few of the cast photos or behind the scenes snaps can't be put on the BF website on the page for the story which they go with. They are nice to see, but I certainly wouldn't buy the CD just to have the booklet. Offers will differ of course...

But a bigger booklet costs more to produce, unfortunately.

That would be a problem. Maybe they could get around that by taking out the last two pages which serve no purpose.

Often the track numbers, etc., aren't finalised until well after the booklet so that is one of the reasons that they don't often appear.

Oh, shame. One thing that's annoyed me recently is that the number of tracks per episode have varied on different releases.

Daft question, perhaps, but beyond playing "spot the extras" (generally the last three tracks per disk) does it make an awful lot of difference?

Not particularly but it does it make it difficult to tell when an episode ends.

I vote for the full Monty Python: "This is side two! If you want to play the record from the beginning, please turn over!"

Please note that the views expressed by Barnaby are his own opinions and do not reflect official Big Finish policy. They may also be daft.

I actually meant that it's difficult to know on what chapter it will end.
