New Series DVDs/ Blu Rays

[Perry Vale]

The first 'Vanilla' is due on 2nd April, containing just 'The Runaway Bride' & (allegedly) the CiN 'Music & Monsters' concert. RRP 15.99, cat.no BBCDVD2380. I look forward to it's release.

Discuss.

*insert James Lindsday "fanboy" comment here*

[Milky Tears]

I won't be buying this as Series Three is where it all goes tits up.

I look forwad to the huge press/fanboy backlash after Martha's first episode.

[Pip Madeley]

Like clockwork.

[Rob McCow]

It's an interesting move, they must have a lot of confidence in The Runaway Bride for it to stand on it's own. More than The Christmas Invasion, anyway! I think they might find their confidence misplaced though, The Rummyway Bridlepath doesn't seem to have that many fans on this forum at least.

I think it's less to do with their confidence, but rather it allows them to not have to split the first two-parter over 2 volumes....

[Pip Madeley]

Not necessarily so - they've done a 4-episode vanilla before (Long Game-Doctor Dances)... perhaps they were just able to get the rights to the full Confidential programme (it being predominantly in-house music and not lots of pop songs) and wanted to include it.

[Si Hunt]

Am I the only one who think's it's just an attempt to make box-set buyers get the Vanilla because it has something that may not be in it (the concert thing)?

Si.

[Rob McCow]

Or perhaps they're splitting it up so that there's an RTD story on every DVD again. Age of Steel/Rise of The Cybermen/Idiots Lantern is still the only RTD Free DVD.

[Si Hunt]

If only such things were given away. Gee, I'd love for me to see a free RTD free DVD!

I think you misunderstood my point. If they put ep.3.1 with TRB, that would leave 12 episodes over 4 volumes. Keeping the two-parters together (ie. eps. 2,3,4 & 5 on V2) would mean a volume down the line having only two 45 minute episodes, which would look like very bad value for money.

[Larry]

have to say I'm seriously considering buying the vanilla releases for series 3 as I've been very dissapointed with both the series 1 & 2 box sets in terms of extras.

[Si Hunt]

We do. Let's face it, they're only about 7 on-line. That's just 'tuck shop' money really, and we get to see them sooner and avoid the expensive box set which leaves off all the extras.

Si.

[Dirk Gently]

Well I'll be buying the Runaway Bride DVD because I want the Concert. It's very personal to me. And I missed it when it was on interactive.

[Pip Madeley]

I've stuck with my off-air recordings since Rose...

[Matthew T]

I buy both cos I'm sad.

[Larry]

I buy both cos I'm sad.

well you said it -

[Andy Frankham]

Good to know. Pre-ordered it now. Less than two months way... *tick tock*

[Pip Madeley]

The cover is out there:



Nice.

[Dirk Gently]

I'm really rather impressed with that one.

[Rob McCow]

See, with a little imagination, photoshopping can give you good DVD covers. (As several people, including Pip, have shown already!)

[SiHart]

From OG: the cover to 3.2



Si xx

[Pip Madeley]

Once again, nice.

[Darren]

Am I right in thinking the Runaway Bride disc doesn't have the concert, only the documentary?

[Pip Madeley]

You are right in thinking that.
