About time!

I'm 26 from the states and have found that Doctor Who releases are hard to get. I've looked for this collection to hit my local stores in my area but they didn't. They weren't even in the computers then they showed up on special order. $156.00...
I didn't have the money but then I bought it used on Amazon.
I thought as Americans we'd be jipped. But we got the special 2nd Doctor video and we recieved teh Reign of Terror which was believed we wouldn't as well...
We were cheated the Fox tv movie on video and a few other documentries... It's nice to finally have the box set on the way. I'm a hardcore fan and haven't even recieved it yet and I just know it's going to rock! Finally the BBC treated the American fans right...

"Thank you, Mistress, repairs complete!"

Some fans might want to call this The Turkey Boxset, as most titles in this collection are not highly rated. "Sure-cure-for-insomnia" serials like "The Sensorites", "The Mutants", "The Invisible Enemy", "The Horns of Nimon" and "Meglos" don't help discourage this nickname. But, even those titles do have something to offer. One doesn't have to look far for the much anticipated "The Reign of Terror" and the Troughton orphan episodes, all Vidfired. "The Time Meddler", the partially restored "The Ambassadors of Death", the rarely seen b/w episode of "Invasion of the Dinosaurs". Even "The Creature From the Pit" has some laughs to add to the enjoyment. Many stories might not be fan favorites or classics, but they do bring a smile to the face and a feeling of being entertained. Even the ridiculous western, "The Gunfighters", is good for unintentional knee-slapping.

Not quite the End of the Whoniverse....

Brilliant set of videos, must have for your collection especially if you are a Lalla Ward fan (lots more of her here) and the remaining Hartnell stories (Meddling Monk in action!).

Of course with the usual timing inevitable in this universe the collection is not the end - the 2nd episode of the Daleks Master Plan has just been found (jan 2004) in excellent condition!! So with this excellent collection there is still that one episode out there that no-one has seen except for that Yorkshire TV guy who nicked it so many years ago (pity he didn't nick more!!!
