Interesting article here.....

http://www.phoenixmedia.co.uk/phoenix/news.htm

Phoenix Film and Television have been commissioned to produce several special feature documentaries for classic Doctor Who releases plus the long awaited "K9 and Company" all for DVD release later this year and early next year respectively.

The content of the extras must remain under wraps for the moment but Phoenix will be producing 9 documentaries in total spanning several releases throughout 2007 and 2008.

"It is a very exciting project!" explains Phoenix head of Production Rohan Latchman, "It's an opportunity to really delve into such a classic TV classic and try and come up with something different." "The new show is so high end and full of spectacular special effects, but classic Doctor Who offered all in involved so many challenges on a weekly basis to keep the show fresh and inventive and I'm really looking forward to being involved in such an exciting project!"

So as expected, work is being taken away from the RT, well, features-wise....

Well I suppose, bearing in mind that the release rate is being upped, that this was bound to happen.

Let's hope they can reunite the cast of K9 and Co!

Well the same news article features their plans for the forthcoming Young Ones 3 discs dvd set which look good, so I'd say they could make a good job of it.

[Tom Simpson]

Very Good News!!!

Tom (MDB)

[Matthew T]

OMG! Why did you get banned from OG?

[Pip Madeley]

And what does MDB mean?

[Matthew T]

Matrix Data Bank

[Si Hunt]

Is it Tom Spilsbury or something?

Incidentally, I'm intrigued which release they are going to package this with now that we've already had "The Time Warrior" and "Hand of Fear" announced. Surely it won't have a release all to itself?

Si.

Surely it won't have a release all to itself?

As Amelia Ducat would say, it would seem so.

[SiHart]

Welcome to PS Tom!

Perhaps it'll be so packed full of features, K9 and Co will need a whole DVD to iteslf... It's be the perfect place for a big feature about K9 as well as lots of stuff about the show too.

[Jon Masters]

Maybe its part of a K9 boxset - Invisible Enemy, Invasion of Time, Warriors Gate and K9 & Company

(Calm down Mr Hart - it probably aint so )

[Si Hunt]

That would be a yawn of a box set!

Si.

[Simon R]

It would make your tea sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

[P-Bal]

Sladen's kung-fu makes me damp. Though not as damp as the truly iconic Polan and her musty suspicious lesbian porno acting.

[Lord President]

Will we finally get to hear Brendan's honking in 5.1 Surround sound?

Well the same news article features their plans for the forthcoming Young Ones 3 discs dvd set which look good, so I'd say they could make a good job of it.

I like the sound of this box set, hopefully they can restore all the music and other bits which got trimmed from the original releases.

Doctor Who Online are reporting Steve's July post as a confirmed fact...

Quick off the mark weren't they!

[Milky Tears]

But Doctor Who Online is about as reliable as my dead dad and loads of fans are bitching about the piss-poor quality of Phoenix's work over on OG and Roobarb's. It's a winner all the way!!

[Si Hunt]

Is it coming out as a double pack with "The Web of Fear"?

Si.

Quick off the mark weren't they!

MArk Ayres has said on the RT forum that any clean-up work would likely (ie.is) be(ing) done by them.

[Dirk Gently]

THE INVISIBLE ENEMY is on it's way to DVD according to the extras on BoM.

I can't say this excites me that much. But I suppose it has to come out sooner or later.

[Dirk Gently]

K9 AND COMPANY is on it's way to DVD according to the extras on BoM.

Any one excited?

[Stephen Morgan]

Bloody hell, they're coming thick and fast aren't they!

[Stephen Morgan]

After the excitement of Brain of Morbius I find it a little hard to accept this one. I know it has it's followers, but when I watched it last November I found myself a little underwhelmed by it for the first time ever. Perhaps familiarity with it has led to me feeling this way, hopefully a DVD will show it in a new light.

I don't think K9 went anywhere fast!
