The Krotons - EXHAUST the DVD now!

[SiHart]

Exhaust! Spin those heads. The Krotons is arriving on DVD later this year!

[Larry]

I agree The Kroton's is not the best classic series story you'll ever see but I never bought the video release and don't think I've seen it since it was show during The Five Faces season so I'm certainly looking forward to it's release.

[Si Hunt]

The prints are in beautiful condition and it's another Troughton. "The Krotons" is the story that always seems like it's going to perhaps be better than you remember. Until you watch it.

But we'll see!

[SiHart]

I adore The Krotons.

[Si Hunt]

My mind is open, to new opinions and to thought control.

[Stephen Morgan]

I adore The Krotons.

So do I, and I'm much looking forward to seeing this on shiny disc.

[Simon R]

I loathe it. Easily one of my least favourites but maybe watching it in shiny almost HD will make me change my mind.

[Stuart Wallis]

My mind is open, to new opinions and to thought control.

Ebenezer Wallis saw you coming! TAKE HIM TO THE DYNATROPE!

So what's wrong with The Krotons then? anybody? It's not too demanding, but give or take one or two design flaws, there's nothing intrinsically wrong with it.

[Si Hunt]

I don't remember much about it. This may be why it's bad.

I seem to recall that the script was a last-minute replacement. The best things about The Krotons is the performances by Troughton, Hines and Padbury which are top notch. They just don't have a good script to work with.

[Stuart Wallis]

Given those circumstances, I don't think they did too bad a job. What I will concede, to be fair - the idea of having aliens with South African accents.

STAWWWWP!

(Where's Pip when you want him?)

[Anthony Williams]

According to the rumour mill, this one will be coming out in July! Hurrah!

[Stuart Wallis]

Unless you all pay up! Cheques and postal orders to Ebenezer Wallis at the usual address...

Beware - Hexagons!

[Anthony Williams]

I rather like that cover - hurrah for Lee Binding!

[SiHart]

Lee is great. Strange colours on the Zoe costume. For some reason, I always thought it was black with yellow.

[Stuart Wallis]

Beware - Hexagons!

Oh, for goodness' sake Tim, put them away!

[Dirk Gently]

You shouldn't be peeping!


I had Krotons in my soup the other day.

[Dave Tudor]

That's pretty damn good.

[Andrew Curnow]

That looks more like artwork than photoshop. Quite nice though!
