The Doctor Who Thread

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

I've noticed a lot of people moaning because Resolution isn't in the series 1 box set and has it's own stand alone release.

I'm delighted the NYD special isn't on the series 11 box set.

It means i can buy one (hopefully) good Dalek episode on it's own without having to fork out for what i consider a very disappointing series.

if it isn't a good Dalek episode or indeed a Dalek episode at all then i don't have to buy either.

This title suggests that there are actually four Doctors!

The second UK paperback edition, published in April 1978

Indeed.

Picked up some pbs.

Rememberance Of The Daleks & Silver Nemesis.
The Nth Doctor (about the projects that never were ... could be good)
The Tribe Of Gum (first in a series of scripts ...nice thing to find imo)

Happy Demon.

Probably of no interest to anyone here, but it seems that this is cover and contents for the series 11 DVD

I'm sure people will be relieved to hear that the set only contains 4 discs, and announced extras are

Behind the scenes featurettes
Closer looks
Four brand new audio commentaries
Selection of art cards exclusive to the release
DVD/BD cover is presented in an exciting lenticular format.

Tree People as seen in 2005's The End of the World.
