The Key To Time (Reissue - Nov 2009)

[Phillip Culley]

Taken from Mary Tamm's website:

Mary has started the year with a return to her time on Dr Who . She is providing the voice over commentary for the Key to Time series, a new BBC release on DVD, and is soon visiting an old DW location, to film an in-vision commentary.She will also be filming two interviews about her time on the programme. See DW page for more news re convention appearances this year.

How interesting - although I'd hope rather than an in-vision commentary, it's just for an interview....

[Dirk Gently]

This only says that she is doing new stuff. It's never going to be clear whether this is coming this year or next & from recent events/news the R.T won't know either until 2|Entertain say so.
In short it could be in 6 months or 18 months+.

[Pip Madeley]

My money's on next January

Tamm has a website? How marvellous! Does the dress Mary Tamm feature still exist I wonder?

Another one for the Zeta Minor list.....

Just get ready for comfirmation on Michael Cashman's website that he's recorded a commentary for Time Flight.

[Si Hunt]

This has been on the cards for a while due to the existing R1 version, and you get the impression they buff the package up a bit more every now and then in case they need to release it. I reckon Pip's right, it could be next years Box Set. Though am I selfish to hope that as this is really six stories, not one long story, that at least half the set has as many extras as a reasonably packed normal release? Features on Robert Holmes (for "Ribos"/"Kroll"), Douglas Adams (for "Pirate Planet"), Mary Tamm's Romana and the BBC bloopers from around this period would be nice extras.

A shame Lehmann, Adams, Holmes, Jeffrey etc. are all dead. But they could get Lois Baxter, Lalla Ward and John Woodvine to record commentary tracks. And Susan Engel is a MUST!

[SiHart]

There's lots of stuff from this era that could be included: all the Nationwide interview with Tom being grumpy with Frank Bough, Blue Peter on the 15th birthday, A making of Kroll from some local news show and I believe a similar Pirate Planet thing. There are indeed the outtakes too, which'd be nice.

We need Susan Engel to be involved!

Should be a good set when they finally release it over here.

[Si Hunt]

If they're going to be 'redoing' existing releases (in a sense) then I'd prefer an extras packed "Five Doctors: Normal Edition" though.

But not the money from Stephen La Riviere, part-time RT member (??), who posted this about a January release over on Roobarbs....

At the moment (unless something has changed) I think you're wrong...

So could it be November as ZM predicted???

Agreed - I think it could be just another one of those the actor/actress being available at the time so they decide to get the commontries in the can for a later release.

[Milky Tears]

Visiting Tamm's website has been the Who highlight of the year for me.

[Dave Tudor]

She needs to get someone to adjust the banner at the top of the page, though.

This could be an excellent set, although I hope they put as many extras and special features as possible on 'The Armageddon Factor' disc to make it more interesting.

[Larry]

certainly be interesting to see what kind of price they'll be charging when this is realeased..

[Dirk Gently]

I'd imagine it'll be anywere between 49.99 & 69.99. Although I doubt anyone on here will pay more than 35.00 unless they use Galaxy 4.

[Jon Masters]

The nasty cynical suspicious side of me (what do you mean, I don't have any other side ) thinks they might release this as two 3 story box sets, perhaps six to 12 months apart (given that the boxsets we've had so far have been 3 stories at a reasonable price).

now I wonder who you could be talking about..

[Dirk Gently]

now I wonder who you could be talking about..

Oh, I wasn't thinking of anyone in particular.

[Si Hunt]

SUBTLE HINT ALERT!

We're really not allowed to confirm anything... but I really wouldn't advise you to buy the region 1 release this late in the day.

This is quite exciting, actually. Even though i already have the R1 versions, Hopefully it will still be worth buying.

[Si Hunt]

In my eyes, this is tantamount to Roberts confirming it will be released next week.

[SiHart]

Hooray! It's one of the most enjoyable seasons ever! Even Power of Kroll! Kroll! Kroll!

as usual Mr Hart, I find my self dissagreeing with you about what seasons we find good..

[Andrew Curnow]

I hope this is true - even if it doesn't end up coming out until next January, it'll still be a cracking release! The last two stories may not be as good as the first four, but there's still a lot of fun to be had in them.

[Rob McCow]

Ooo! I haven't been excited about many of the BBC DVD releases for a while, but this one's got me palpitating.

PALPITATING!!!

Unusually, i'm i'm more in agreement with Si on this one. The only one i really don't like is 'Pirate Planet', (but even that has moments) otherwise i think it's a good season. I love 'Stones of Blood', 'Tara' is a close second, 'Ribos' is good, I even like 'Kroll'! 'Armageddon' is the weakest for me, but it's still ok, & would've been alright if it was a 4-parter, IMO.
