My favourite Prentis Hancock moment?



'Ave it!

Great minds think alike.

[Dave Tudor]

I'll take your word for it - it won't let me see anything!

[Pip Madeley]

Try now.

[Dave Tudor]

Now THAT'S spooky!!!

[Pip Madeley]

If he does a Tenth Planet signing, I may get that screencap out and ask him to sign it for me.

[Phillip Culley]

Much like Underworld, The Mutants and Planet of the Daleks, this is one of those stories which would have to come out eventually, so thankfully there's a decent extras package to make up for it

I just hope they include that trailer for the Planet of Evil and Sontaran Experiment repeat which I've seen doing the rounds....

The cover for this is up on Amazon-I quite like it

[Pip Madeley]

And here she is:



Pretty! Is it me, or does it look like artwork? Also, 2 discs? Can Steve Perry Vale confirm?

[SiHart]

How... well, it's better than most Planet of Evil covers at the very least.

2 discs? Surely that's a mistake? I don't think I could take two discs of Planet of Evil stuff!

Some thoughts:

- It can be done! We can have a cover with PROPER colours, not with everything bleached in red, green or lurid purple. See! Now do it every time!

- Not quite dark enough though.

- Why have they used the picture of the prop used to create the Anti-Matter monster, i.e the one that never appears in the story untreated? Isn't that like putting an unpainted Myrka on the front of the "Warriors of the Deep" DVD?

- What's that big vine thing hanging down there. Eh?

- Return of the 'stick a big purple planet behind them to cover something up'?

It's CALLED Planet of Evil! You'd expect there to be a planet on there somewhere! Even if it doesn't look like the one in the story

[Si Hunt]

Well no-one complained when there were no towers on the "Paradise Towers" video sleeve, or when "Battlefield" turned up without a single cow-filled grazing area adorning its box.

Si.

[SiHart]

The one in the story was big and pink, wasn't it?

[Perry Vale]

Also, 2 discs? Can Steve Perry Vale confirm?

Well, the 2|e schedule I've seen says 1 disc......but then the same schedule says Time Warrior is 2 discs!

I think it's most likely the artwork has used a previous template for a former 2 disc-er....?

Anyways, I think it's rather pretty.

just had a look at Amazon, and their details also have it listed as one disc - but any way I love the cover IMO it's one of the best covers to date.

Nice! Shame about Prentis Hancock though.

[Simon R]

Shame about the story...

[Paul Monk]

I'll have to get this as I don't have it video. Why isn't there a feature on Prentis Hancock?

[Si Hunt]

It could be called "A Cock Out Of Time".

Si,

[Si Hunt]

Has anyone else pre-ordered this for a good price yet? It's out next month but the cheapest I can find it is £14. We got "The Time Warrior" for £11.32p as I recall.

Si.

[SiHart]

£12.99 at HMV.com (affliated)

[Si Hunt]

I have a voucher for HMV which they sent me yesterday because they are moving website (or something). Then I realised it was only 5% (65p off "Planet of Evil" - ooh, stop, you're spoiling us!). And you can't use it on pre-orders. Bastards.

Si.

[Pip Madeley]

Hang on for Sendit's £11.89.

[SiHart]

5%, are you sure Si? Mine was £5 off any item (not pre-order alas), which was nice.
