Revisitations 1 DVD Set - October 2010

[Si Hunt]

The best cover in years. Why? Because the elements are properly coloured and not drowned in a hideous wash of green or blue.

I love how we don't get two or three striking images combined together cleverly, we just get a dozen aspects of the show sort of arranged together.

[Andrew Curnow]

It's a gorgeous cover... but it seems a bit odd, in that it's a different style to the other two in the same boxset. More artwork than a cover in fact, it'd make a great poster.

[Perry Vale]

This has shaped up in to quite an attractive release with the list of extras, and is the only release this year that I'm likely to pre-order. Says a lot about the year's release schedule!

[SiHart]

Rumour has it this morning that set two will include Resurrection, Seeds of Death and Carnival of Monsters.

I feel strangley underwhelmed.

Forcing fans who want the two-part as broadcast version of Resurrection to buy two stories they already have? Nice.

[SiHart]

I really don't think any of these releases needed revisiting particularly, especially when there are the early ones- Robots, Spearhead, Tomb that could have benefitted a great deal more.

Not wanting to sound too morbid but the people who made old Doctor Who aren't getting any younger and if we have to have the Revisitations series to get more commentaries, more documentaries and more extras recorded while they're still with us then I'm fine with it.

[SiHart]

I suppose that point of view makes sense and as always there is no compulsion for any of us to buy them again if we don't want to.

agreed a Revisitations set of say Spearhead, Ark in Space and Robots of Death would make a fantastic release but To be fair there were no extras on the Carnival, release but the other two did have some extras on them and yso they could of waited for a later release.

I only decided to get this set because of the added extras on the tv movie and Caves, If the rumoured next set turns out to be true I very much doubt I will get it. In future I'm going to be very picky about the ones I get as I really don't want to buy stories for a 3rd time just for the sake of a few extras.

For those of you waiting for other stories- THIS!

[Rob McCow]

Blim - there's a lot less left to come out than I realised. They might even finish in 2012!

[Anthony Williams]

Mine's on its way!

We're waiting until this one goes cheap

[Anthony Williams]

It's arrived - it's definitely an absolutely gorgeous package, and I'm looking forward to doing all the new extras!

Started on the extras for the TV movie, with The Seven Year Hitch, which is extremely very interesting.

Whilst I'd heard of the battles to get Doctor Who back on screen, it's good to hear of how much of a struggle it really was, direct from the horses' mouth! One of the most enjoyable Doctor Who documentaries I've seen in a while

The competition is fierce.

£25.97 in Asda. Picked up my copy on the way home from work.

[Simon R]

Ours has come. The Tv movie cover looks quite bad in the flesh with the console shoe horned in and Daphne Ashfield's head looking pasted on from something else.

[Anthony Williams]

I've been really enjoying the extras on these!

I think that the TVM has the best extras, frankly - plenty of very interesting things on the wilderness years etc. etc.

Talons' extras are interesting, but a little threadbare in places. The one on what could've been, had there been another Hinchcliffe/Holmes year was really poor, I thought!

Androzani, frankly, needed far more extras to make it worth "revisiting"

I haven't done any of the commentaries yet, mind.

I'm a little mystified that "repackaged!" is hailed as a boast on the front of the box. Sticking three stories we already have in a thin bit of cardboard in order to sell them to us again is something to be covered up, not used as a selling point surely.

Just as well we will be sticking this cheap and nasty 'repackaging' in a folder upstairs in order to put the DVD's in the right place on the shelf really.

Looks like Resurrection is defintely in pack 2: (from Nick Pegg's Twitter)

Previously on Twitter: I promised details of the latest #doctorwho DVD commentary wot I am on. It's the 2-part Resurrection of the Daleks.

Resurrection commentators: Eric Saward, Terry Molloy & Peter Wragg, with me moderating and offering occasional Dalek insights.

Apparently he's also interviewing David Tennant for one of the Revisitations 2 titles, for some reason.

Good VAM.
