Can you buy big finish cds in America?
You can order them directly from Big Finish but you will have to pay for shipping, but if you don't need the CD's, you can get only the downloads from them. Shipping takes about 2 weeks ( to Nevada in my case) and you get the downloads from the site included.

Don't know if this is generally known, all of the first 50 main range stories are on spotify now, search for 'main range' then the story title.

Slightly off topic, but something I'm really excited about (as you may have guessed from my namesake), Big Finish have released their trailer for their upcoming Dan Dare range.
https://soundcloud.com/big-finish/da...lume-1-trailer
They're following the epic stories as printed in the Eagle comic, Volume One is due out in a couple of months with a Vol.Two due out next year.
Ed Stoppard (The Musketeers) plays Dan, with Geoff McGivern (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) as Digby and Heida Reed (currently in Poldark) as Professor Peabody.

John Freeman's Down The Tubes comics blog has a nice write-up on it

I looked on Amazon and they want close to a thousand pounds for the original CD of "Voyage To Venus". Who can afford that?

"Jumping jets!" as he would say.

I have that CD but it's not the 1990 Radio 4 production but rather an independent production from around 2009 that seemed to follow the frame panels of the original story rather than a dramatised adaptation that matched-up scenes together but it's a nice little curio production.

I recommend 'One Rule' although it's a Torchwood audio, its an Yvonne Hartmann story, and gives a great insight into her character prior to the Battle of Canary Warf,

From the BF website:

"It’s been three weeks since the Mayor of Cardiff was killed by a shop dummy and the fight is on to see who will replace him.

Yvonne Hartman is visiting the city to retrieve an invaluable alien device. She's in charge of Torchwood One, she's saving the British Empire and she doesn't care about local politics. But she is going to find herself caught up in that fight. There’s a bloodthirsty alien stalking the streets and there’s a special offer on at the all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet.

It’s the 26th of March 2005 and it’s the day that everything changes".

I thought it was brilliant.

It can also be called 'Yvonne Hartmann has a bad night out in Cardiff'.
