About this deal

Crisply directed by the brilliant Douglas Camfield, this story of an amoral time traveller trying to alter established history must have been a game-changer for the contemporary audience. It’s also worth noting that as always, the restoration team has added as much digital magic as is possible to bring us the best in sound and picture. My theory is that you will need to be in the right mood or possess a particular sense of humour to enjoy THE CHASE.

Coming Soon: The Space Museum/The Chase - A trailer for the next two stories, previously available on The Masque of Mandragora. Even if the budget had somehow allowed for the stretch of animating the two episodes (it doesn’t – Richard Bignell’s been clear enough about that. The Lost Twelve Seconds - Twelve seconds from the fourth episode are still missing, excised by overseas censors prior to recovery of the print.

Convention Footage: A rare chance to hear from actors Jacqueline Hill and Adrienne Hill ( Katarina) alongside Michael Craze ( Ben) and Carole Ann Ford. Although, with all the goings on, I can’t really say this six-parter felt padded; just maybe a bit underwhelming. Since the BBC have now demonstrated that they have no problem releasing an incomplete season on Blu-ray, anything goes.

In this noteworthy two-part adventure, the Doctor actually sleeps through the TARDIS materialising, and even after landing on the planet Dido, he wants nothing more than another nap. But here… at first, I’m sure they were excited — getting to design an alien, humanoid, butterfly species! Also featured is the less remembered The Web Planet, with its giant ant-creatures, the Zarbi, at war with the peace-loving moth people, the Menoptra. Appropriately, we have Carol Ann Ford, Maureen O’Brien and Peter Purves telling their stories and providing opinions on stories that they were not involved in.The Doctor’s separated from Steven and Vicki for most of this one, but that may have been to spotlight the two companions as they get to know each other. I assume most people reading this are already familiar with Doctor Who, so I'll just say that this was David Tennant's first season as the 10th Doctor, and is for the most part great fun to watch. Behind this cover is another piece of artwork, with the type of artwork varying from season to season. Finally, with new companion Steven Taylor in tow, Season 2 finishes on a real high note with The Time Meddler.

High Quality Protectors are specially designed to Protect, Enhance and Display your Doctor Who: The Collection Limited Edition Box Sets… 40 30 Jun 2023 Dr. These come in a standard 22mm-thick Bluray case designed to accommodate the number of discs in the set with a cover showing the clean artwork and cardboard slipcase showing the logos and text.Give-A-Show Slides - Sixteen stories presented on seven slides each, as featured in the Doctor Who Give-a-Show Slide Projector toy from the sixties. However, the best ones include the Maureen O’Brien interview and the LOOKING FOR DAVID feature in which the ever-engaging Toby Hadoke investigates the life and career of WHO’s original story/script editor, David Whitaker. It gives us a healthy dose of Daleks, an insane scheme on their part, a true feeling of hopelessness, then victory (and even romance).

There are galleries and… well, reconstructions of the second and fourth episodes of the story which have been lost. The discs have little chance of getting damaged, unlike some of the case sets I have bought recently. I know actors don't like being trapped in a role, but I could watch David Tennant in this role forever. The introduction of Peter Butterworth as The Monk is a sublime bit of casting within an excellent story.

The Season 12 and 19 releases matched that of the UK Collectors Edition releases, minus the J-card, which was slightly different. I was expecting a drawn out fiasco to get some resolution but instead found instant refund with this more than fair top seller.
