    I watched terror of the zygons last night. I’ve never seen it before. Tom Baker is just brilliant. Shame Nessie looked a bit rubbish, but I can see past the dated stop motion effects. It’s a really good story and I can’t wait to see the Zygons again in November. 🙂

    Nice cover.

    if you have the beginning box set, then you will agree with me in saying that the 30 minute reconstruction of marco polo was brilliant. Imagine if they’d do it again for more completely missing stories:

    Mission To The Unknown (Animation possibly?)
    The Myth Makers
    The Massacre
    The Savages
    The Smugglers
    The Power Of The Daleks
    The Highlanders
    The Macra Terror
    Fury From The Deep.

    Just an idea…

      But not with all the special features. I think I’ll wait for that release even though the capsule looks awesome!

    Breaking news.

    According to Wikipedia, the underwater menace will be released and will have episode 2 and 3 along with animated 1 and 4 in 2014. No accurate release date has been confirmed.

    Also, the moonbase release date has been changed to 2014 according to wikipedia.

    Since they’re next to each other in episodic order, will they be in a box set?

    Booboo needs to set up a page for this.

      No they will not, animation is expensive enough. The reduction in price for the box set would make animation not be worthwhile.

      I don’t know whether this is true but Don’t trust Wikipedia, it’s basically like rumours with things like this. As I say this may be the truth but I just want to say take it with a pinch of salt.

    I like the cover- I think the VHS one looks really funny with Tom Baker screaming (as horrid as that sounds) as it looks like he’s flying… But would like to see the episode.

    Thank you for that! I don’t care what the cover looks like, I’m just going to get it and have a good old wallow in nostalgia. No cover will ever outshine good, decent imagination!
