Glad to see Clown Court will be on this release

[Andrew Curnow]

That's the Noel Edmonds bit isn't it - I think my brother's still got that on video somewhere, but I must admit I'd forgotten all about it. Be nice to see that again.

And the 'part one' - is that an extended edit of the first episode?

[Larry]

Release date confirmed by G4:

June 22nd 2009.

I really don't know if I'm going to get this one I hate season 24 and this could well be the first release I will not be buying.

What's that then?

[Andrew Curnow]

Maybe it's some sort of out-takes/behind the scenes montage put to music?

[Zbigniev Hamson]

You don't know what Doctor Who is?! What on Earth are you doing here then man?

[shada pavlova]

Asking stupid fanboyish questions about tiny bits of continuity.

Well, you did ask.

[SiHart]

RT article is up- Sara Griffiths on the commentary with McCoy, Cartmel and Clough (no Bonnie- booo!)

Si xx

[Pip Madeley]

For those lazy folks:

• Commentary with actors Sylvester McCoy and Sara Griffiths, director Chris Clough and script editor Andrew Cartmel.

• But First This (dur. 6' 07") - Andy Crane presents a behind-the-scenes report from the location shoot, including interviews with Sylvester McCoy, Bonnie Langford and Ken Dodd.

• Wales Today (dur. 2' 15") - a location report from the BBC Wales news programme, featuring behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with Sylvester McCoy and producer John Nathan-Turner.

• Episode One - First Edit (dur. 30' 28") - the first edit of episode one, without music and sound effects, runs six minutes longer than the transmitted version and many scenes were significantly re-ordered between the two.

• Interview Rushes (dur. 16' 31") - raw location interviews with Sylvester McCoy, Bonnie Langford and Ken Dodd, conducted for the 'But First This' item.

• Hugh and Us (dur. 7' 13") - actor Hugh Lloyd interviewed about his career and his part in the story.

• Clown Court (dur. 5' 40") - The Seventh Doctor is called to the dock by judge Noel Edmonds to view out-takes and answer charges of "impersonating a Time Lord", in this extract from The Noel Edmonds Saturday Roadshow. Also includes out-takes from the recording of the sketch.

• Stripped for Action (dur. 21' 32") - the ongoing look at the Doctor Who comic strips focuses on the Seventh Doctor's appearances. With writer and editor Scott Gray, writers Simon Furman, Paul Cornell and Andrew Cartmel, artist Lee Sullivan, former Doctor Who Magazine editors John Freeman, Gary Russell and Alan Barnes.

• Trails and Continuity (dur. 3' 17") - BBC1 trails and continuity announcements from the story's original transmission.

• Plus of course the usual Radio Times Listing PDF, Coming Soon trailer, Programme Subtitles, Subtitle Production Notes and Photo Gallery.

I'm glad McCoy is there, I've missed him on recent commentaries.

[Simon R]

Is there not any extra scenes from the latter episodes then?

Trails and Continuity (dur. 3' 17") - BBC1 trails and continuity announcements from the story's original transmission.

I still have the Part One announcement on my original off air VHS. It goes something like this..."Now on BBC 1 we return to earth with a bang as we fish out the yellow coats for a spot of "Hi-De-Hi" in the first of a new adventure for Doctor Who"

Or words along those lines.

[P-Bal]

I'm glad McCoy is there, I've missed him on recent commentaries.

Yes, he was sorely missed on both Fendahl and Attack.

[Pip Madeley]

Yes, he was sorely missed on both Fendahl and Attack.

Pedant alert.

Dan Abnett sends his apologies, maybe. Perhaps the truth behind 'Evening's Empire' will be revealed? http://www.thevervoid.com/doctorwho/comics_63.htm

[SiHart]

Hopefully Andrew Cartmel will be apologising for his comic strips too!

Si xx

[Rob McCow]

He did have some good ones, Fellow Travellers in particular. And he can't be blamed for trying to make the strip more 'mature'. But turning Ace into a kinky love slave was a step too far!

[shada pavlova]

Quite right. Peri, maybe. But not Ace. Never. Not in a million years.
