At least it's not a red double decker bus!

Though that link may explain its release date.

OT, I was just wondering about you at the weekend, David. Everything alright?

**The Secretive Bus** · 12th May 2009, 6:13 PM

Ups and downs, sir! Coming to the end of my third year at Edinburgh Uni (one year left to go, thanks to the Scottish education system), still in exam season with two left to go. I've got my 9th and 10th self-written/directed shows booked for the autumn so I'm still doing a lot in the amateur student theatre, and I might have an actual paid comedy gig or two coming. Otherwise in a relationship that's slowly going the way of the R101 and I haven't even started to try and find a job yet over summer, but on the up side I'm going on holiday to New York in early June! So a bit of give and take really.

That's alright Dave - you might be Doctor Who in five years time

**Stuart Wallis** · 13th May 2009, 3:44 PM

We'll deal with Pip's dubious claim on the part, don't you worry!

Pip Madeley · 14th May 2009, 8:22 PM

All things shall soon be mine.

All things.

To let you know what my Aunt Dolly used to say til we told her to shut up and go back to the coalshed, " "You can't have everything - where eould you put it?"

Pip Madeley · 17th May 2009, 1:09 AM

US cover.

**Simon R** · 19th May 2009, 6:42 PM

One good thing about the US covers is that they use the correctly coloured logo. Why on earth the UK ones have that dull grey one is a mystery. It looks so dull and completely fails to jump out from the shelf.

Good old HMV have apparently sent me this DVD today

**Perry Vale** · 16th Jun 2009, 3:08 PM

HMV are on a good run at the moment, aren't they!

**SiHart** · 16th Jun 2009, 3:23 PM

They do seem to be slightly ahead of the game right now, so I've ordered the rest of the years releases (aside from The War Games due to pirce) from them.

Preview at Eye of Horus:

**Stephen Morgan** · 18th Jun 2009, 3:35 PM

My copy has arrived from Sendit. I can't believe it got here so quickly.

I haven't opened the package yet, Amy is here for the weekend and I'm hoping she'll pay for it for father's day.

**Simon R** · 18th Jun 2009, 10:09 PM

Didn't Don Henderson have horrible hands? Or are they gloves of some kind?

**Si Hunt** · 20th Jun 2009, 12:29 PM

Our copy arrived today, seconds before we wanted to watch it!

It's odd that Mel is so thrilled to win a trip back to the 1950's. Anyone would think she didn't live in a time machine.

Love the man who says "Gong!" on the rough edit where the dinner gong sound should be.

Noel Edmonds really was a tit wasn't he.

Si.

**SiHart** · 20th Jun 2009, 12:45 PM

The "Gong" bit really made me laugh last night. It caught me at just the right moment.

I loved the new control room scene from the unedited pt 1. Some lovely dialogue there.

Si xx

**Si Hunt** · 20th Jun 2009, 12:59 PM

Yes, wasn't it lovely! They really seemed at ease. The rough edit really sold Bonnie to me more as well - the lack of music and faff brought out her quite relaxed performance. I wonder what she'd have been like in "Remembrance of the Daleks" in the sixties? Quite at home, I'd imagine. Billy's noting of Ray as "like a little sister" was another unfortunate loss from the transmitted version, as it establishes his thoughts about her quite well.

Si.

The TARDIS kitty pot kept in the console is a gem to cherish!

I still don't get why they couldn't put the extra scenes on as a seperate feature. I'd rather watch the proper Part One and then the extra scenes.

**Andrew Curnow** · 20th Jun 2009, 1:21 PM

I'm hoping to get this for my birthday very soon! In the meantime,

for Si's new avatar and sig'!

I think it's because people might enjoy watching the episode without Keff's noise.

**Si Hunt** · 20th Jun 2009, 2:08 PM

It's probably Keff's best score though.

**Rob McCow** · 20th Jun 2009, 2:42 PM

I love the music in this one! Bombastic and wrong, but still distinctive and fun in a bizarre way. It's very 1987 and although it would be easy to make it very cheaply today, it was probably quite expensive at the time.

Is this the first example of singing in the non-diagetic incidental music for Doctor Who? It's probably the last example until The Christmas Invasion.

I enjoyed D and the Bmen a lot more than the last time I watched it. Cartmel, McCoy, Clough and Griffiths seemed to love it as well! They should have got Saward in on the commentary, he'd have put them in their places.

Nice special features, nothing too strange, but my favourite was (of course) Stripped for Action on the 7th Doctor Comic Strips. Inconsistent is the right word! I was pleased to see them covering it right up to Ground Zero and Cartmel desparately trying to defend 'Ravens'.

The Gunfighters might be the first, perhaps?
