Let's do the Timelash again!

[Pip Madeley]

Well, Timelash is the Hindenburg disaster of the mid-1980s

[Andrew Curnow]

Oh the humanity.

[Simon R]

I thought fat jokes were frowned on at PS?

[Rob McCow]

What, for all 500 of us?

[Si Hunt]

Ssshh.

Si.

[Captain Tancredi]

Given the extent of his involvement with the DVD releases, it's perhaps a little sad that Colin Baker only has another four stories to contribute to- three if 'Arc of Infinity' has been prepared as rumoured.

[Dirk Gently]

That'd be a commentary I'd want to hear, Colin & Peter.

[Pip Madeley]

It's been recorded, just a case of when we get to hear it.

[Dave Tudor]

He's got such a good voice, they could always get him to narrate documentaries and what-have-you.

[P-Bal]

Or he could do impressions of Billy Hartnell and do his stories for him.

[Simon R]

He's always got Big Finish so anyone that wants to hear his dulcit tones can listen to those and explode.

[Doctor Vendetta]

Or he could do impressions of Billy Hartnell and do his stories for him.

Does he do a good Hartnell, then?

[Carol Baynes]

(I can't be the only one who's not going to bother on release day?)

I never bother on release day, darling! What kind of a common tramp do you think I am?! I want my delivered to my door by a well dressed postman.

Hyacinth Bucket eat your heart out!

Looks like Perry Vale was right and this will have an RRP of 19.99 even though it's a "standard"!

Steve Roberts is looking into it.

[Rob McCow]

It certainly will be if you want it signed by Darrow and Glen McCoy! Sounds like a signing and a half at Tenth Planeth.

[Perry Vale]

It's about time that Doctor Who fans had something to complain about.

[Si Hunt]

Should we have seen this coming? Maybe it was just a way of putting less extras on the DVD's/saving costs. Say you are doing 'cut back' DVD's for a cheaper price, then sneak the price back up and keep the minimal extras. Maybe someone somewhere realised we were getting too good a deal.

Si.

[Captain Tancredi]

The whole idea of doing "basic" releases seems to have died on its backside somewhat so far, in that both times it's been attempted, somebody has come up with a couple of extras at the right price. While it'll no doubt work for certain stories in the future (those studio-only stories with only a couple of cast and production members still living, mainly) I can't see that it's worked the way it was supposed to.

A few pics have been added to the RT article:



Darrow! No!



The man who caused it to happen.



One for Tim.

[Matthew T]

Glen McCoy looks very young.

[Andrew Curnow]

He does, doesn't he? How old (or young) was he 23 years ago when he wrote Timelash? Was it his O-Level English exam or something?

[Simon R]

Glen McCoy looks like Sherbert Dip, David Yip.

[Andrew Curnow]

I'll be interested to hear what words of wisdom Paul Darrow has to offer, on his performance as Tekker. Personally I think it gives the story a bit of life that by golly it really needs, so it works in the story's favour - but it's by no means a particularly subtle performance...

Do you know, I'm really quite excited about "Timelash" coming out - does this mean I'm mad?

No, i think 'eccentric' will suffice here.
There's a lot worse than 'Timelash'.
