Revisitations 1 DVD Set - October 2010

[SiHart]

Not much deatil on this yet, but there's going to be a set of new versions of previously released DVDs with new extras etc on them.

What do we think of that then?

[Jason Thompson]

Well, some of the older releases could do with being tarted up, looking as they do like the poorer cousins of the range these days. However, without much detail of what's going to be released and what's going to be different about them it's hard to say too much.

I guess that Remembrance was a 'testing the water' release to see if anyone would buy such a re-release.

Could we see a VidFIREd Tomb after all...?

[SiHart]

I'd have thought a VidFired Tomb was a shoe in for the box, and Louise Jameson said she'd recorded a commentary for Robots of Death a wgile back too, so that's probably likely too.

My immediate thoughts are:

1) Will it be Amarays in a slipcase or a digipack?

2) Will the original DVDs be deleted? (Tomb seems difficult to find anyway)

3) How much are they going to charge? The extras would have to be pretty good/extensive for me to double-dip.

[Si Hunt]

I don't know why they wouldn't be in an Amaray.

I'm fine if it's "Tomb", "Robots" and (at a push) "Talons", but I'll be annoyed if they're re-issuing perfectly fine DVD's with one extra feature. I don't know if "Androzani" (which I've heard rumoured) was all that bad to start with?

However, if they came out and said that such releases were to fund a colour "Mind of Evil" restoration or an animated "Macra Terror", I'd gladly buy them all.

an animated "Macra Terror"

Seems unlikely now Cosgrove Hall are in trouble.

[Logo Polish]

The people who animated The Invasion left Cosgove Hall ages ago, so I don't think the company's fate has any bearing on it. The cost is more likely to be a significant factor.

Could the Movie end up being re-issued? Because that'd be great.

was actually just going to mention that one as long as it's the usual lot of extras on them i'll not mind at all

the stories that were released with out the usual package of extras are

Robots of Death
Tomb of the Cybermen
Ark in Space
Spearhead from Space
Carnival of Monsters
Caves of Andrazani
Vengance on Varos
The tv movie

[SiHart]

People keep mentioning Caves and although it hasn't got a making of documentary I think it still had a pretty good set of extras really. Same with Carnival- since half of its cast is dead it's difficult to see what else they could add to it really. IMO, of course

[Si Hunt]

They could CGI Puff the Magic Dragon in the exterior ship scenes.

I think this is one though that could benefit PQ-wise due to improvements in technology....

On the subject, I watched 'Resurrection' not long ago, and was surprised (and disappointed) at how murky the picture was. Is that down to the source?

[Si Hunt]

It IS a very darkly lit story, that may have contributed.

well you do wonder how much attention 2-entertain paid to DWM' "Mighty 200" poll it wouldn't be beyond them to take advantage of Caves popularity with a re release.

[Pip Madeley]

The new DWM confirms this box set will be released during 2010 and will feature The TV Movie - it will have new extras, including an Ed Stradling documentary called The Seven Year Hitch with a lot of the key players (Alan Yentob, Philip Segal, Matthew Jacobs).

[shada pavlova]

Hooray!

My old DVD of the Movie doesn't work any more!

[Si Hunt]

Is it worn out?

Si.

[Rob McCow]

You should go back in time to when it did work.

[Stephen Morgan]

Hooray!

My old DVD of the Movie doesn't work any more!

Why?

[Larry]

Is it worn out?

Si.

I know the feeling..

[Andrew Curnow]

I think Shada needs to take his DVD back to before it played, maybe even back to before it arrived....

[shada pavlova]

Oh, the witty quips.

But no, the thing is, it only doesn't work on my PC. It just refuses to recognise the disc (all my other Who DVDs work fine). It works in the television downstairs fine, but that's only in black and white.

[P-Bal]

The DWM 200 poll has nowt to do with this. I think the three stories in the set are all justifiable for re-issue, I mean there's no Invisible Enemy amongst them! Plus they've all been out for a wee while.

[MacNimon]

So what are the other two stories in the set, then?

[Pip Madeley]

No idea yet! Well, I assume Robots of Death, Spearhead from Space and Tomb of the Cybermen at least.
