I can do without The Underwater Menace. Terrible story where all they seem to do is spout rubbish and run round a table.

I'll wait for this on a Blu-ray set. Not buying it individually again. It's just not worth £20

The Doctor (Tom Baker) comes to a shocking conclusion during The Seeds of Doom (1976)

Teaser trailer


"All four episodes will be animated in colour for a new DVD and Blu-ray release – though the second and third episodes do exist in their original live-action form and these will also be available on the set, along with the option to watch the animated episodes in black-and-white.

The new release will be a two-disc set, with the first disc featuring the animated episodes and the second featuring the original surviving episodes and reconstructions of the missing episodes one and four"

Special features:

• A Fishy Tale - Making of Documentary
• Australian Censor Clips
• The Man from Miditz
• Frazer Hines Introduction for Episode 2 as per the original VHS release
• BBC News Report (South Today)
• BBC Radio Solent Piece (audio only)
• Photo Gallery
• Animation Gallery
• PDF material including camera script

So The Mirror was right - they said this and Smugglers were being done back in January. Smugglers looks a certainty now then.
I'm baffled by them still animating existing eps - this and the colour were allegedly the order of BBC America, who are supposedly no longer funding them so why are we still doing this? - and I'm irritated by them only putting the surviving eps on the recons disc, so in order to watch the originals with the b&w animation you have to start changing discs (!) but the animation looks okay and I'm glad they're coming back. i don't mind what's left of TUM at all - episode 3 is one of the funniest episodes of 60s Who - so it will be fun to see it complete at last. :nod:
