The Ace Boxset: Dragonfire/ The Happiness Patrol - Out now, Bilge-bag!

[Si Hunt]

I'm surprised and delighted.

Two of the best Seventh Doctor adventures, in no way bundled together because they would be gauranteed poor sellers individually.

I'm excited about this release. So is Andrew Cartmel.

And this week's Dirty old Man Of the Week Award goes to...

I know I get enthusiastic about DVD releases and then not bother getting them but... that's one good looking box! I'm seriously going to have to consider this one.
Any idea what the release date is again?
I wouldn't go as far as to call it a classic, but I do love The Happiness Patrol. If they'd done it today it would be one of the greats.
Dragonfire... yeah, means to an end. But that's a more inviting box than er...

[Simon R]

I can't wait to finger Ace's box.

[Alex Me]

When is this due out? Happiness Patrol is one of my favourite stories so might be my first Doctor Who DVD purchase for ages!

I like the pink of the Happiness Patrol.

Happiness Patrol deserves a pink wash far more than Castrovalva ever did!

[Simon R]

I'd like to have it more like pink.

Have they changed the design of UK releases then, or are these the US covers? Cause this is the same as the US design...

[SiHart]

They're the US Ones.

It's a mere £15 on Amazon!

Thank you!

If you click on the amazon link someone who's obviously had an early preview has posted an extremely detailed review of the boxset, reproducing various highlights of the commentaries word for word and detailing the extras (Si will I'm sure be delighted that the latest installment of the Doctor's Strange Love comes in for heavy criticism) I had to stop myself reading otherwise I almost won't need to bother buying the box set.
I'm regretting not pre-ordering while it was still listed as only £15 as I'm not paying 20 for it.

[Stuart Wallis]

"The Doctor's Strange Love" sounds as though he's picked up a rather dishy Metebelis spider...

This is now back 14.97 at amazon so get your pre-orders in now (using the affiliated link natch!) - it's also covered by a pre-order price guarantee so if the price is lowered between now and the time of release you will pay the lowest price so anyone who has already pre-ordered should now only be charged 14.97 rather than 19.97!

Yes, I recently had a 1p refund on Nightmare of Eden after it had been delivered.

[Dirk Gently]

Just remember to spend your 1p wisely, Sir.

[Stuart Wallis]

Why not, let's have a party!

It's down to £12.97 on ASDA!

[Simon R]

It's free if you steal it.

But the packaging will be damaged, there'll be bits of mould on it and it'll go out of date really quickly.

[Stuart Wallis]

You might even enjoy the accompanying 6 months in the Scrubs...

[SiHart]

It's on its way!
