The Five Doctors SE DVD

[Wayne]

And meh here.



(Isn't it on The Time Meddler dvd, or is that a different one?)

[Dave Tudor]

Here's the inner cover:



The '25th Anniversary Edition' bit rapes my roundel lovin'hood.

It's a nice image, but it works better on the slipcase - it looks a bit too squashed there, and like Si, I'm disappointed they didn't have a different, more colourful picture for the inner sleeve.

But, at the end of the day, this will be a great DVD, even if it comes wrapped up in one of Carol Ann Ford's purple tights.

[Dirk Gently]

Steady there Dave, you'll get me going.

[Wayne]

I won't make a joke about Sladen's skidmarks then.


oops.

[Thasc]

Yay a nice cover there

Spoilery DVD review from Doctor Who Online

It will be a cool and awesome release.

11/10

[Pip Madeley]

Look away now if you don't want to be spoiled, as this DVD also houses a truly awesome hidden DVD Easter Egg in the form on a Commentary featuring New Series Producer; Phil Collinson, The 10th Doctor; David Tennant and New Series Writer; Helen Raynor. Phil and David in particular are a joy to listen to as they inject their perspectives as fans back when the episode originally aired. It's fresh, funny and different to any of the Classic Doctor Who DVD commentaries to date.

Excellent

[The Secretive Bus]

It does look like a cracking release. Nice to get so much Troughton interview footage, too.

[Si Hunt]

This continues to be the most anticipated Doctor Who release for me since "More Than Thirty Years in the TARDIS". I have two reservations before viewing it; namely the title "(Not So) Special Effects" suggests ridicule of this story (which actually has better special effects than every other Davison story) and I hope this isn't how the tone of the discs come over. Also the 'best easter egg ever' sounds to me of zero interest! If I wanted a Tenant commentary I'd buy the pricey New Series box sets (but I don't, so I don't). I was hoping for those brilliant Youtube spoofs, but I understand they might be a nightmare to clear.

Si.

I'm with you there Si. This is one DVD that I'll be dropping everything else to watch, and watch it all! Including the 'fan' commentary.

[Larry]

cover looks very nice..

Steve Roberts has already stated elsewhere that this isn't a take the piss feature, but rather showing what great work they did with bugger all budget, and gaffer tape. Or something.

Si.

I'm with you there, utterly pointless imo. Some people over on OG are already getting carried away, suggesting the RT should "leak" this news to the tabloids, as they think this news will magicly cause it to be the biggest selling classic dvd ever. DW fan reactions really are beyong belief sometimes!

[Lissa]

I think the super secret extra bonus freebie hidden three-for-two commentary sounds fantastic and unless you get a faulty disc no one need ever be forced to listen to it. Now if only John Barrowman was on it as well - that would be even more fab.

[Matthew T]

Shame RTD isn't on it too but it'll be the first thing I go to when I get the discs!

Some of the reactions on OG are INCREDIBLY bitter.

[Milky Tears]

I haven't even ordered it yet. That's how tempting it really is.

Neither have I...

[Antony Cox]

Neither have I...

Well Pertwee's name isn't at the top of the credits, after all...

[Wayne]

I haven't either. But i will be getting it.

[Ralph]

I've got my old one up for sale so I'll replace it

[Wayne]

My old one is long gone. (except in yellow format)

[Antony Cox]

(except in yellow format)

Is that the version with Chinese subtitles?

[Wayne]

I should think so too!

[Ralph]

I've ordered thisa via PS affiliation as a concession to the Pertwee era

I still can't describe how appallingly disappointed I was by it in 1983

Good.

Si.

[Ralph]

Well I guess I could try!
