Big Finish Once and Future Episode one Past Lives (Special Edition)
Available to order as part of a bundle from www.bigfinish.com
The Time War. The Doctor has been injured and brought to a Time Lord field hospital. His body glows with energy, but this is no regeneration into a future form – instead, the Doctor’s past faces begin to appear as he flits haphazardly between incarnations…
Staggering to his TARDIS, the Doctor sets out to solve the mystery of his ‘degeneration’. Who has done this to him? How? And why? From the Earth to the stars, across an array of familiar times and places, he follows clues to retrace his steps, encountering old friends and enemies along the way. Tumbling through his lives, the Doctor must stop his degeneration before he loses himself completely…
Settling as his Fourth incarnation, the Doctor goes in search of the Monk, with a vague memory that he had something to do with his ‘degeneration’.
On Earth, the Monk is meddling, bringing Sarah Jane Smith to the future UNIT HQ to steal a device for an alien race. The Doctor must help Kate Stewart and Osgood foil an invasion before he can confront the Monk about what he knows…

June 12th, 2023 - 10:10amMy CD for this just arrived. Looks just like a normal CD case. The only special thing I assume is that the cover sheet thing is also a small poster. I do like the artwork but no embossed logo or numbering.
Do we need to reach out to them about a replacement or will they send one at some point?

May 3rd, 2023 - 12:46pmeach of the special editions are numbered and with limited edition extras both in the physical edition and digital. poster, more pages in the insert etc, for an extra £3 its a bargain for collectors
TBF to Big Finish, they were clear that this was a 3000 disc pressing for the L.E with standard in a bigger, unnumbered version.
