The Trial of a Time Lord DVD out now!

[Dirk Gently]

The TARDIS is as confused as I am.

[Pip Madeley]

Hurrah! I'm loving all this news of forthcoming releases.

[Lissa]

This is acceptable news.

[P-Bal]

We hope for Langford and Blackman on the commentary.

And YOLANDE PALFREY!!!!

[Simon R]

With this release we'll have peaked. In every sense of the word.

Does anyone know the name of the obscure French programme that did a behind the scenes thing on "Mindwarp"? Is it one of the extras do we think or is it lost in the archive au Paris?

[SiHart]

There was a dramatic close up on both our faces when we heard this news.

[Larry]

can't say I'm over joyed at this TOATL is not exactly a story i'm that keen on.

[Si Hunt]

There's much wrong with it as a Doctor Who story, but for all sorts of reasons it's a good one to bring out - it's historically interesting in terms of Doctor Who, has lots of crowd-pleasing elements and the extras will be gleaned from a time when the show had a very interesting and high public profile.

There's much wrong with it as a Doctor Who story

There's a lot wrong with it as any kind of story, but I agree it's a good one to bring out. And I love it anyway, despite the fact that it's a load of old tripe.

I certainly agree that from the extras/documentories that could go with TOATL it's dose make a good release I just feel that over all every thing about the season from the awful theme tune to the stories and the production is just shoddy.

[Si Hunt]

It was the mid-eighties, Larry. Everything looked shoddy!

DOCTOR IN DISTRESS - MUSIC VIDEO

God no.

[Dirk Gently]

That's a lot of extras.

Where's the Nicola Bryant special! It's her last story FFS!

[Si Hunt]

I've soiled my panties!!

Si.

[Milky Tears]

I know who I'd like to thank...

Those drooling (inexplicably if you ask me) over Dr in Distress should thank Ian Levine who holds the rights and very kindly agreed to allow the record to appear in the DVD for no payment.

A cool and awesome gesture.

11/10

[Pip Madeley]

Tthank Ian Levine who holds the rights and very kindly agreed to allow the record to appear in the DVD for no payment.

Sadistic prat.

[Simon R]

This is the DVD I've been looking forward to the most. When I think about it I go into orbit, into a seventh heaven is it?

I really hope that we get the TARDIS landing on Ravalox scene. Unless it doesn't exist.

[SiHart]

Oh my! *cue zoom on face*

Si xx

[Carol Baynes]

but could you not argue that Key to Time, is the same as well -

TOATL may be on the titles as the beginning but it is still in theory 4 seperate linking stories that in general have been given the over all season title TOATL just as KTT was given for season 16.

Larry, what is this bull?! There is one story in season 23 and six stories in season 16. It's really that simple at the end of the day. I am the voice of the common people- listen to our reason!

[Simon R]

I hope Colin's appearance on the Roland Rat show where he zaps Reggie (or whoever it is) with one of the Hyperion III Scalextrix guns is included somewhere in this set.

[Pip Madeley]

I've got a short clip of that somewhere. I'm glad we're getting the Wogan interview with Baker & Bellingham... will they cut out the references to Oxo?

[Simon R]

I've got literally 0.5 seconds of the Roland Rat thing at the start of my off-air 1987 "Delta and the Bannermen" tape. It's a fact!

Colin's "Saturday Superstore" post-sacking "if I had a TARDIS I'd like to do my time as Doctor Who again" interview is deeply touching and I remember the cake from the time.

[Pip Madeley]

I've got that, here's a screen grab of Colin cutting the cake:

[The Secretive Bus]

They brought in the High Council of the Time Lords and a Mandrel?

...

Good times.
