I spoke too soon. I would like this but not at full price. I really liked those Early Years vhs releases. The highlighted doc runs 1h 45m so to me is worth buying when it drops under a tenner, especially as i love Daleks.

The 'Robin Hood' episode could be quite interesting as well

Although I knew what was going to happen (the title gave it away), the chills down my spine when I heard the word 'Dok-tor' coming from the darkness were huge!

I bet it's really creaky. I don't think i've seen any tv drama from so early other than The Quatermass Experiment which was hard going to be honest due to being all talk and not very good quality. The next earliest i own is The Buccaneers from 1956 which was an action series and beautifully restored by Network.

Been looking it up as i was composing this post.

The thirty minute six episode series was transmitted live so i bet it's extremely talky and even creakier than i imagined.

Bring it on!
