Doctor Who DVD news:

BBC Worldwide have announced that the classic Fourth Doctor adventure City of Death is planned for release in November 2005.

At last.

Douglas Adams + Tom Baker + Julian Glover, Lalla Ward and the Mona Lisa (oh, and a little bit of John Cleese) = rather good Doctor Who. :)

Hmm. Not the worst story by any means, but a bit of a cheesy one IMO - especially Duggan and his tendancy to hit everybody/everything, knock down walls etc... still, there's no K9, so that's a plus.

When are they going to release DVDs of the *real* classics, that's what I want to know? Ok, we've had Pyramids Of Mars, Talons, and now Fang Rock, but what about Genesis Of The Daleks, Image Of The Fendahl, and most especially The Seeds Of Doom? eh? eh?

Am I the only one who longs to see The Hand of Fear again? (I know The Daemons and Inferno have their fans).

The PAL version of The Hand of Fear is notoriously pricey as it was withdrawn just a couple of weeks after going on sale, but if your VCR can handle NTSC you should be able to get an NTSC copy fairly cheaply on eBay. I did.

I keep meaning to update my videos to DVDs at some point, can never bring myself to shell out though. Having said that, I will run out of the audio adventures soon, so you never know... quite liked the above one, though a bit cheesy, bizarre they hadn't released it until now :)
