[Si Hunt]

Maybe if he didn't spend the whole year pottering about with a video camera he'd have enough energy to make Season 5 next year!

Si.

[Milky Tears]

You forgot one:


00:03:36:00 DAVID TENNANTS'S VIDEO DIARIES PART 6 - WEEKEND AT SOPHIES'S

That's a short one.

[Pip Madeley]

Over 100 minutes of ropey handheld video camcorder footage? That sounds like the Blair Witch Project...*

*joke died in 1999.

[Si Hunt]

At least with these valuable extras space isn't being taken up with those useless old deleted scenes, eh?

Si.

[Perry Vale]

That's a short one.

That's not what Billie Piper said.

[Perry Vale]

At least I can free up a few titles from my DVD Recorder's HD drive.

[Milky Tears]

Where are the two Red Button/BBCi trailers?

[Pip Madeley]

We kick the Beeb's ass.

[Dave Tudor]

Are they including the (very!) cut-down Confidentials this time around? I still think it would be better to edit these together into a big exclusive 'making of' feature, rather than just slapping them onto the DVD as they were broadcast. It would be better than lots of video diaries, too.

[Perry Vale]

Are they including the (very!) cut-down Confidentials this time around?

I believe so, I think I've also seen BBFC clearances for them.

[Pip Madeley]

Disc Six:

13 episodes of Doctor Who Confidential Cutdown.

So pretty much, as everyone expected, disappointing. But the final commentary will be worth a listen, I'm sure.

[Si Hunt]

I wouldn't even get that if it was cheap! A few trailers, some video diaries, a small fraction of the possible deleted scenes and the cut-down Confidentials make for a pathetic extras package. We'll stick with our lovely cheap vanilla releases, which look nicer on the shelf anyway.

Si.

[SiHart]

Much the same as it was last year then. No surprises really. Makes a nice Christmas present though.

Si xx

[Perry Vale]

42 (with commentary from RTD and writer Chris Chibnall)

That sounds like fun.....

Easter Egg

At least they haven't forgotten this!

And......two commentaries from Murray Gold?!

Nice to see those S1 deleted scenes are still lost somewhere between Cardiff & London.

[Pip Madeley]

Woolies are offering yet another exclusive cover (there's three for the nutty completists to collect now)...

[Milky Tears]

It would need to be a "peel back and see" scuddy cover to tempt me this year.

[Dave Tudor]

I don't think those extras are any more disappointing than those we've had on previous sets, but they still don't seem hugely inspiring. It's particularly disappointing that there are fewer actors appearing on the commentary tracks - it would have been nice to hear more Freema, and also the likes of Jessica Stevenson, Dean Lennox Kelly, Mark Gatiss, Carey Mulligan, even John Simm.

However, as usual, the sheer quality of the series makes this, for me, an essential purchase. Just a shame that they seem to have missed some opportunities again.



God, I've turned into a right moaning sod.

My boxed set arrived from Woolies today. Gorgeous cover! Though it needs must be kept away from me until I unwrap it Christmas day!

[Milky Tears]

I haven't even ordered this year's effort!

Newsround's Lizo has posted his review on OG:

[Andrew Curnow]

I don't know whether the price has been mentioned on this thread anywhere, but I notice DVD.co.uk have it at £49.89 which seems pretty good.

[Jonno]

I'm still waiting for S1 and S2 to drop below £40!
