Well its one I haven't seen for a while, but I remember watching it twice and not being too blown away by it.

The dvd has an optional version which has many more Daleks, more Ogrons and additionally filmed scenes of battles with UNIT soldiers. As none of the regular cast are in the scenes it all fits in seamlessly.

Suzi hates it though.

I'm a completist and a purist, and I like seeing the show as it was originally aired! I've not actually bothered to watch any of the stories which have had new CGI effects included because (to my mind) they are not representative of how the episodes originally appeared

However, I have mentioned that I am going thru the entire series from Hartnell story 1, episode 1 viewing the information text sub-titles, so when I get the to the 'new and improved' episodes *cough*, I will probably do them just so I can say "I have seen EVERY Doctor Who episode released""

I get what Suzi says. I think it's great that the option to watch the original version is also on the disc though. Keeps everyone happy.

Not sure if this is good or bad actually.

No i'm kidding, the more people that like it the better. Oh and Paris is into Nirvana, Motley Crue and Maiden so she's alright by me.

She can get to **** if she thinks she'd even be considered. And if she was, who'd watch it? Certainly not me.

Signed! And that she is into Nirvana shows me a lack of taste and musical knowledge, one of the worst bands to get hyped over proportion - they mostly stole their music anyhow...

As do most bands.

Anyway thats a subject for the music threads.



I've been watching the extras on The Krotons.

I was surprised to hear there wasn't a music track to the series. I'd never even noticed, which must be a big compliment to the radiophonics workshop and the soundscape they gave the Kroton's Dynatrope.

You are absolutely right with the second sentence and I am sorry I had to state the obvious once again, just be happy it was not about Morrissey

But to make one thing absolutely clear: Paris Jackson should not be a subject either here or in a music thread
