There might be some nonsense about this being the only Doctor Who they can release on Blu Ray (wanna bet?) but let's be honest. Blu Ray was invented for modern, high definition shot TV and films. This was made in 1970. Just because it's on film doesn't mean it's going to be hugely more clear and vivid on Blu Ray. I reckon if you put TV's side by side you maybe might see a marginal difference, but it's not going to be that great or it wouldn't have looked so grainy and washed out on DVD? And of course it is - it was one of the first BBC things ever shot in colour for goodness sake!
So if you have missed DVD's or whatever and you haven't got Spearhead recently, then it's good for you. But if you've bought everything (some might say, been loyal) and the BBC are now touting an improved "Spearhead" only a year or two after the last release, which itself you had to buy if you wanted something else, then it does feel rather like buying it again for no reason. And no, you don't HAVE to have it, but they're trying to make you buy it again, that's what's irritating.
I think if Steve thinks about really hard, he MIGHT be able to guess why people might be upset about another re-release of this story.
But they. We all have a choice, that's what's usually said isn't it. You don't HAVE to buy it. You can easily have an incomplete collection if you want, and this could be the ONLY Doctor Who release you never buy. Nnngh.
Si.
