All have their pro's and cons.

I think my favourite is Anthony Ainley purely down to his performance in Survival, oh, and i've met him.

Score! Spotted his name in the cast list of a film i watched recently, and mused to myself "bet he's the villian" and i was right!!

However some remasters/rebuilds are taking much longer than first anticipated, so i think the re-issues are just to fill in gap months.

They just needed to think ahead then. Within the last year or so, we have had 8 box sets released:

Mara Tales - 'Kinda' & 'Snakedance'
Earth Story - 'The Gunfighters' & 'The Awakening'
U.N.I.T Files - 'Invasion of the Dinosaurs' & 'The Android Invasion'
Ace Adventures - 'Dragonfire' & 'The Happiness Patrol'

all of which could have been split, with the stories being released as single entities

Agreed.

Kinda and Snakedance belong together, the rest are just pointless collections really.

That wouldn't have been Assault would it?

The main reason for the Revistation of Inferno is that they want to improve the picture quality. The quality on the current version does look quite poor when you compare it to the other Pertwee releases.

It could potentially be paired with The Mind of Evil seeing as both were written by Don Houghton.

Trailer for the Death to the Daleks DVD has now been released:


Very excited for this now although it's a shame it hasn't been given the special edition treatment like Day of the Daleks was.

Just sat through Time and the Rani. Not the best of even one of the better stories from Doctor Who but not as bad as I remembered it. I think Mel would have worked as a companion to Colin but really didn't work well with McCoy.
The features included definitely made it worthwhile.
I have the New Beginnings boxset and The Deadly Assasin on the way. I'm ordering the bred for war boxset tomorrow and want to get another inexpensive boxset with it from Amazon. Suggestions would be appreciated.
Picked up the latest Doctor Who mag with Ace on the cover. It has an interview with her and a look back at the keys of time series. Definitely worth picking up!
