The Tenth Planet - Far from being all over... (18/11/13)

[Andrew Curnow]

Wow, that actually is quite exciting - to actually see Hartnell as 'himself'.

[SiHart]

Wow! What a superb and interesting find!

[Nyder]

Can't wait to see that! Definitely a special Extra!

[Stuart Wallis]

I wonder how much footage of Hartnell there actually is in existance?

[Dirk Gently]

Worth buying the Tenth Planet for.

Disc Two Contents

Interviewed in his dressing room for the BBC Bristol’s Points West programme, Hartnell talks frankly about Daleks, the merits of pantomime and his own thoughts on his future career in this extremely rare glimpse into the mind of the man who first brought the role of the Doctor to life…

Blue Peter: Doctor Who's Tenth Anniversary - Two weeks before the show’s tenth anniversary, the Blue Peter team take a look back at Doctor Who’s history. Ironically, the strict preservation of Blue Peter’s history means that the clip of the first regeneration has been preserved, but the final episode of The Tenth Planet that it came from was never again seen after its use here.

Are Michael Craze's links for the originally planned VHS not going to be included? I thought they would be.

Is it Donald Van Der Maaten and not Gregg Palmer (who appeared in various western TV shows and movies) who played Shav and Gern? There's been a bit of uncertainty for a while over this. Also, is Christopher Dunham the same person who became the Artistic Director of the Palace Theatre in Westcliff-on-Sea?

[SiHart]

I suspect they must have sorted out who played Shav and Gern, or else they wouldn't have Donald included on the commentary! Well, hopefully anyway...

As for the Michael Craze links, I don't know. Maybe they're on as an Easter Egg?

[Wayne]

Mine's been despatched.
I wonder if we'll all be buying this story again next year.

[Jonno]

I'm holding off on this and Ice Warriors for now...

[SiHart]

Mines on the way from the BBC shop, so I'll let you know at the weekend if I'm watching the proper pt 4

[Jonno]

Then I'll go and buy a parka for the forthcoming "Tenth Planet Party"!
