Survival released on DVD!

[Simon R]

I stole ours from a black, homeless, disabled, lesbian.

[Milky Tears]

We were more excited by the snatch of "FastForward" magazine and the promise of Kate Bush on Wogan.

TRAGIC ****** ALERT!!

I've still got my Fast Forward collection sealed in a box somewhere. Had it on order from the newsagent across the road until we moved to the middle of nowhere in February 1990. I'm sure my Neighbours sticker album/Radio Times:EastEnders Fifth Anniversary Issue and Smash Hits collection (1988-90) is in the same box. I was/am a sad bugger.

[Simon R]

If you ever get the chance, go through all the 1990 issus and look for anything Kakko related.

You could make a fortune on the ebay.

[Dave Tudor]

Saw a snatch of one of the extras on my brother's copy - Adele Silva looks a bit skinny, but Lisa Bowerman was looking good.

That is all I have to contribute for now.

[Dirk Gently]

Saw a snatch...

Was she good looking...



...I've over stepped the mark haven't I?

[Anthony Williams]

...I've over stepped the mark haven't I?

yup

[Captain Tancredi]

Was she good looking...



...I've over stepped the mark haven't I?

To be honest, the rest of Dave's sentence hardly helps, does it?

[Simon R]

We enjoyed the DVD. I can't decide if I liked the fanny commentary or not. I thought they all tried a bit too hard to be funny and I didn't like the shoe horned new series references but it was addictive stuff and there was some amusing nuggets.

[Lissa]

Sylvester has this for anyone who doesn't like Survival.

[Pip Madeley]

Oh my, I wonder what he'd have for those who don't like Time And The Rani.

[Rob McCow]

I don't know, but if you don't like Battlefield he'll unleash his terrible 'something' on you.

[Pip Madeley]

I watched the extras this afternoon and enjoyed them all very much. Endgame was a very interesting and informative documentary, I was so totally encapsulated in it that I never looked at the clock once. Was interesting to hear people's ideas of how things could've progressed, and it made you feel sorry that the series ended when it did.

[Jonno]

I've made a start on Disc One over the last couple of days - annoyingly, the production notes were on screen for far too short a time to actually read, so I missed half of them. I didn't think the picture quality on the episodes was all that either, so not the best of starts. Give me a VidFIREd story any day!

The continuities package was surprisingly nostalgic for such a relatively modern story, but then we are talking almost 20 years ago! The outtakes were quite interesting from a behind-the-scenes production POV, but not particularly funny in themselves.

Still got hours of extras to go through yet, and I get the feeling that this DVD, like The Leisure Hive for me, will be more loved for its overall extras package.

[Antony Cox]

I've watched most of the extras so far and enyoed them all apart from the out-takes which I grew tired of very quickly!

Andrew Cartmel comes across as a very likeable chap, and seemed very enthusiastic about the series and sure of what he wanted to do with it. He's also weathered very well, hasn't he?

I particlularly liked the Anthony Ainley inserts from Destiny of the Doctors which I hadn't seen before.
