Let's do the Timelash again!

[Pip Madeley]

Pip's dangling on the edge of oblivion after throwing himself off after hearing the news.

[Perry Vale]

I look forward to it's release......and being able to moan about any problems with an extra being missed off/a weeks' delay/rubbish sleeve/etc.

This has got to be a 'vanilla' release, hasn't it?

[Si Hunt]

Surely it should have all the cancellation gubbins on it?

All spirit of freedom of choice aside, this is an extraordinary choice. I'm certain that there are a lot of folk out there that only buy stories they love or even like, and so this notoriously unpopular adventure is bound to generate low sales.

But, low sales now (ie.after 2 series of RTD-Who), is much higher than before. It'll make a healthy profit for 2|e, whatever, but not as much profit as Seeds Of Doom (say). But that said, it's the reason why it should, I think, be a vanilla release.

[Dirk Gently]

It's an OK release & it was bound to come out sooner or later. Better out than in as they say. I'm a bit ambivalent about this one but hopefully it will be sandwiched between two good releases.

"Well now," - I think that you are forgetting there are a large number of "AVON" - "PAUL DARROW" Fans out there who'll certainly buy this DVD, that are not necessarily Fans of "DW".

Plus, "COLIN BAKER" and, "DICKON ASHWORTH" were also in, "B7".




Despite being a very NAFF Story!!!

[Rob McCow]

Calm down dears, it's only a DVD release We knew it had to happen some time.

Perhaps this story can be re-evaluated. Surely it can't be worth all this vitriol. We should give peace a chance

and there are a lot worse stories - but personaly I think it's a good idea to have a god mixture of good and crap stories released each year..

Is God doing the 2|entetain schedule then?

[Larry]

LOL - I was just waiting to see how long it would take some one to spot my deliberate mistake..

[SiHart]

What, all 500 of us?

[Stephen Morgan]

What can one say!!!???

[Dirk Gently]

We should give peas a chance?

[Matthew T]

I'm quite looking forward to it! I think I've only seen it 2 or 3 times, and I still think it's infinitely better than The Twin Dilemma.

[Dirk Gently]

Everything is better than TheTwin Dilemma!

[Simon R]

This seems such an odd choice. I don't mind it especially (although I prefer "The Twin Dilemma") but because it was one of the latter videos you sort of expect it to be one of the latter DVDs. I suppose we have to start getting out the crap ones and at least it's not "The Krotons" or something non-Fendahl from season 15.

[Andrew Curnow]

I'm quite pleased about this one, although I don't know why particularly. I don't really think it will sell that badly - certainly, there are some fans who only pick up the DVDs of stories they like, but I suspect the majority are completist buyers. Do we know if it's a vanilla release or not? I think with a good pack of extras it could sell as well as anything else - if it's just relying on the story with a commentary, I don't know.

Either way, I think it'll be rather fun to have this one out. Maybe there's a policy to have one (alleged) stinker each year, just like there's a policy to have a Dalek story each year.

[Dirk Gently]

I'm quite pleased about this one...

Do you know, I thought you might be.

[Andrew Curnow]

Although I'd have preferred "The Twin Dilemma" of course.

[Dave Tudor]

Although I'd have preferred "The Twin Dilemma" of course.

He was doing so well up to that point...

I don't mind 'Timelash' either, although I remember it was a story I chose not to watch when it was originally broadcast - I have no ida why, perhaps I just had a bad feeling about it!!! But it's a fun story, really, and I agree that it's better not to release all of the so-called 'classics' first.

[Larry]

Although I'd have preferred "The Twin Dilemma" of course.

me to..

[Pip Madeley]

Of course, not all fans watched it on transmission, and aren't affected by all the 'background'... I'm one of those fans, and I think it's utter pants, simple as.

[Rob McCow]

There is one reason to get... excited...

[Ralph]

I watched this last year but can't remember it now - maybe that says it all for me really...at least the two on either side are memorable

[Wayne]

Actually, i don't think 'Timelash' is quite as bad as the reputation it's got, but it's still not very good.
I don't know whether to bother with this or not. It depends on the extras, which are usually of interest to me, & can sway the decision. But is this a 'vanilla' release?
Anyway, if i do get it, i'll certainly wait until it's dog cheap.
