How weird.... a new classic Who dvd to buy... just got notification from the BBC website of the preorder at £13.99.... it's just like old times when I used to buy one every other month and even posted on ps...

One last flashback to the good old days!*

This one even seems to have a decent couple of special features. I think we'll be waiting a long time for a 'Revsitations' set of Web of Fear and Enemy of The World with commentaries and documentaries.

*Unless any more of these missing episodes turn up, which they won't , why am I even mentioning it?

Just in case...

Considering the total lack of effort put into it, I won't be buying it until it's down to £3.99.

[Stuart Wallis]

Tell you what - who wants The Lads to nick a copy for them?

[Dirk Gently]

Yeah, OK.

[Stuart Wallis]

Just so you know that if it all goes wrong it was your idea!

Some Underwater Menace DVD info.

New reconstructions have been made of the missing eps, apparently, and extras are as follows:

Commentary with Patrick Troughton’s son Michael (Episode 1), actors Anneke Wills (Polly), Frazer Hines (Jamie), Catherine Howe (Ara), Special Sounds Supervisor Brian Hodgson and Floor Assistant Quentin Mann (Episodes 2 & 3), and archival material from Patrick Troughton, Directors Julia Smith and Hugh David, and Producer Innes Lloyd. (Episode 4). Moderated by Toby Hadoke
• A Fishy Tale Anneke Wills, Frazer Hines, Catherine Howe, Assistant Floor Manager Gareth Gwelan, Production Assistant Berry Butler and writer Robert Shearman look back at the making of this controversial story. Narrated by Peter Davison.
• The Television Centre of the Universe – Part Two

I might buy it for £5.99 now instead of £3.99.

Ours has been dispatched today!

[Nyder]

Mine should be on the way too.

Mine's on its way. Was delayed as I also ordered a book & they have chosen to send both at the same time. Cheers Amazon.

[SiHart]

Got ours yesterday. Yay! At last a new photo gallery to watch!

[Wayne]

Cheers Amazon.

I haven't used the tax-avoiding bastards for ages now. Don't you have to spend £20 or something silly like that to qualify for free postage these days?

[Dirk Gently]

That would explain the later than average delivery.

[Rob McCow]

We watched the Making Of Documentary - A Fishy Tale. It was as excellent as you'd hope, presenting very unfamiliar facts and some charming recollections from the cast and production team. Nothing out of the ordinary, but then we've been utterly spoiled with these fabulous productions.

The Photo Gallery was a bit short and Si was very disappointed about that!

[Stuart Wallis]

Sadly I suspect it largely consisted of the usual suspects...?

[SiHart]

Yes. Only 2 minutes. Even Carnival of Monsters had more!

[Stuart Wallis]

Somebody had to be shortest, but for those who like the Photo Gallery a couple of telesnaps from the still-missing episodes would have been nice.

[Andrew Curnow]

Maybe a daft question but... Is episode 2 actually any good?
