Nice to know it's not completely dead in the water even though i don't watch it.

Now there are no classic Who episodes scheduled for dvd i will more than likely end up buying it and the Sarah Jane Adventures at some point.

Not so fast, young Mr. Dike

There is still hope for the release of 'The Underwater Menace' - Doctor Who News: The Underwater Menace: DVD update

I always found 'Torchwood' to be very hit-and-miss. The first two seasons were typical television series fodder. Some of the stories were very good, while others were incredibly bad. With the last two seasons, when it became one long story told over many episodes ('Children Of Earth' and 'Miracle Day') I found it unwatchable

'The Sarah-Jane Adventures', on the other hand, are highly recommended. Although it is a "children's show", the stories were constantly entertaining, and I rate them with the best of the Tom Baker era Who

The Sarah Jane Adventures are great, Dem.

I have seen some of the SJA. The ones with Tennant, and Smith plus one or two others from the first series. They were ok but not necessary at the time for me to buy.

I thought Children of Earth was superb, unmissable tv over five consecutive nights.

Other than that i watched half of TW season one and er' that's it.

Thank you both for the replies.

Given that the series is an episode less nowadays that ties in with how RT-D set out his series.

3 stand alone stories then a two parter. So in this case with an episode less two stories then a two parter.

New book, coming later in 2015 - 'The Man Behind The Master: THE BIOGRAPHY OF ANTHONY AINLEY'

" Although known to an audience of millions the world over for his portrayal of The Doctor's arch nemesis The Master in Doctor Who during the 1980's, Anthony Ainley had a prolific career which encompassed starring roles in Spyders Web and It's Dark Outside, as well as appearances in renowned dramas such as The Pallisers, Elizabeth R, Nicholas Nickleby, Upstairs, Downstairs, and cult films including Blood On Satan's Claw and The Land That Time Forgot.

But the dramas in Anthony's real life were far more fascinating than any of the many parts he played on screen. Born the illegitimate son of actor Henry Ainley, and taken into care at the Actors' Orphanage at the age of four, the hidden story behind one of Doctor Who's most enigmatic characters is brought to life by author Karen Louise Hollis.

Using exhaustive interviews with friends and colleagues from every aspect of Anthony's life, including his best friend from school, fellow children from the Actors' Orphanage, cricketing friends, colleagues, and those who remained close to him until his death in 2004, this book aims to uncover the real Anthony Ainley - The Man Behind The Master."
