  1. I'd be very interested to hear about the extras on disks I don't have yet. I've seen all the stories so the bonus features are a big factor in which ones I get.

    Got anything specific in mind?

    I'm picking up the newest boxset release, The Black Guardian Trilogy, during the week so I might do that but if you want me to post a review on anything from my collection then let me know and I'll see what I can do.

  2. Was up late watching Warriors of the Deep again, the only place you can see a woman drop-kick a pantomime horse.

    Oh dear, don't tell Suavestar about that. He'll want to watch it now.

    As for DVD updates, here's what I've bought since I started posting this...

    William Hartnell/Patrick Troughton

    Lost In Time (3 disc set featuring episodes for which complete stories are missing)

    Patrick Troughton

    The Seeds Of Death

    The War Games

    Spin-Offs:

    Torchwood: Children of Earth (Series 3)

    Also, just wondering... would anyone object if I was to post some DVD reviews of the releases as they come out?

  3. It's annoying how they make the mole character so obvious every year. Other than that, this season so far's been great.

    wonder if they'll bring Jon Voight back in to tie in with the Redemption storyline that preceeded the season?

    He's due back for the 2 episode mid-season on March 2nd, I hear.

  4. From BBC:

    Written by Russell T Davies, Dark Season centres around a normal English school, but all is not what it seems...

    For the machinations of the mysterious Mr Eldritch are at work. A shades-wearing, bleached-blonde millionaire, he arrives at the school claiming to be its benefactor; donating computers to every student.

    Investigating Eldritch is the ever-inquisitive, wise beyond her years third former Marcie, who with her fifth form friends, Reet and Thom, uncovers a plot to that doesn't just threaten the pupils of the school, but the whole human race!

    With Eldritch exposed, it is hoped that things will return to normal, but Marcie, Tom and Reet arrive back at the school to find a team of blonde archaeologists digging up the playing field. But since when, as Marcie points out, have archaeologists used mechanical diggers?

    It soon becomes apparent that Miss Pendragon doesn't want to uncover the past, she wants to reawaken it by summoning up the fearsome Behemoth...

    Aired in November 1991 on Childrens BBC and achieving raitings peaking 4 million at one point, it was only 6 episodes long.

    Anyone?

  5. Two DVDs Mike burned the Internet Fairy sent me.

    Ah the internet fairy, she looks after us all now and again! :)

    The Ark in Space

    Would you recommend it? I've been looking around for it lately, and since RTD has previously said he used it as a primary source for how he layed out the new series, it could be interesting.

  6. So, yeah... what Doctor Who dvd's do you own. Here's my little list to start us off...

    Also, does anyone have any recommendations on what stories to add next?

    There's a few more, but I've forgot what ones.

  8. Now there's an idea for the Earth-2 family. Much like WFP and Watchercast, an episode by episode recap of the Doctor Who series starting with the classics. William Hartnell. I'd love my own podcast, but being able to find all these classic shows would be a B*tch.

    Funnily enough, I've started doing something like this with Suavestar, only I'm doing the recent series first since the series 4 boxset it out next week. Then I was gonna go to the classic series and do like a different story every two/three weeks or so.

  9. Depending on how far the Batman films would be able to run, I'd wait until the fourth film and introduce him as a side character that by the fifth film would have evolves into the Robin character everyone expects. One of the problems I had with The Dark Knight was the way Harvey Dent/Two Face was done. The backstory was excellent but after the 'transformation' it felt quite rushed, and I wouldn't want to see Robin go the same way.
