March 16th, 2015 - 7:40pmwhich 3 should i buy green death special edition, claws of axos special edititon, inferno special edition or the daemons
PedroPete
March 16th, 2015 - 8:02pmClaws of Axos OR Green Death. Can’t decide out of those two!
The Twelfth Doctor
March 16th, 2015 - 11:12pmClaws of Axos, The Green Death and The Dæmons.
Alex
March 17th, 2015 - 6:31amInferno all the way loved that episode!
The Eleventh Doctor
March 17th, 2015 - 8:36amIf you buy The Daemons , Claws of Axos and Inferno you’ll be happy as they are all great stories 🙂
JellyBaby100
March 17th, 2015 - 5:40pmAccording do DWM’s poll Inferno’s your best bet.
Gavros
March 16th, 2015 - 6:21pmGot the first two Revisitations box sets! Now I have all three! Excellent stories in these sets, well worth the price! 😀
scott
March 16th, 2015 - 6:38pmwhich is the best
Lifefoot
March 16th, 2015 - 6:46pmI love the third one the most personally; three classic stories lovingly restored with some top notch features. There is something quite HD like about The Tomb of the Cybermen SE that no other release seems to have, it’s very crisp looking!
scott
March 16th, 2015 - 6:50pmoh im ordering trial of a timelord and revisitations 3
Gavros
March 16th, 2015 - 6:59pmI’d say the 3rd set. Tomb of the Cybermen is amazing, the Three Doctors is fun and I love Omega, and the Robots of Death is just superb! Although the 1st set (although I don’t own it yet I’ve seen all three) is brilliant as well! But you made a great choice with the 3rd set!
The Twelfth Doctor
March 16th, 2015 - 11:13pmMy favourite is the 2nd set.
Anonymous
March 20th, 2015 - 3:27pm1st is my favourite, easily because of CAVES OF ANDROZANI!
Metalhead16
March 16th, 2015 - 5:52pmI’ve ordered:
-The Claws of Axos
-Terror of the Zygons
-Time and the Rani

March 16th, 2015 - 6:37pmnice

March 16th, 2015 - 4:09pmi will be buying revisitation 3 what other boxset should i buy i already have rescue/romans,
The Figure Adventurer
March 16th, 2015 - 4:48pmTrail of a Time Lord seems like quite a good deal to me…
scott
March 16th, 2015 - 4:50pmi will buy that then
Whovians R Us
March 16th, 2015 - 7:31pmrevisitations is the best boxset is has some of the best tv stories in
CJ
March 16th, 2015 - 6:41amIs the Creature from the Pit any good? If so I’ll get it!
Grand Moff Moffat
March 16th, 2015 - 9:45amNo! Don’t even bother.
matparks08
March 16th, 2015 - 10:12amWhat – Creature from the Pit is in my top 10 stories of all time – so yes, do bother!
skaroman
March 16th, 2015 - 1:53pmTCFTP is a very good story of business, monopoly and the line between monster and victim.
I recommend you watch it as it is a good example of 1979 Doctor Who.
JellyBaby100
March 16th, 2015 - 4:02pmIf you can excuse the monster that looks like a phallic green weather balloon, then it’s still terrible. (At least according to the DWM survey: http://doctoroo.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/from-d
octor-who-magazines-first-50.html)
matparks08
March 16th, 2015 - 6:35pmI’ll go out on a limb and say…I don’t find any of the stories terrible. I find Creature a well written, well acted (even by Lalla Ward), good charactered and funny story. The effects are as good as the budget would allow at the time (after the spending on City of Death). Each to their own, but I love it…and Timelash too, but let’s not go there 😉 The problem with surveys is they then dictate which stories we’re supposed to like. I think we should just decide ourselves
The Twelfth Doctor
March 16th, 2015 - 11:14pmI really like it TBH.
skaroman
March 15th, 2015 - 8:51pmWell, looks like BBC shop aren’t sharing any information regarding a release date for ‘The Underwater Menace’ yet.
Plus: I really like the ‘Lost stories’ audio boxsets. But I wish they would come down in price. I mean £59.99 ? Why not sell them separately? I mean we want to listen to these, but not for that price!
skaroman
March 15th, 2015 - 8:57pmJust had another look: There are a few mistakes in these lists:
1) They’ve stated that you can only get ‘Doctor Who and the Silurians’ with ‘The silurians’ boxset released in 2013 – they haven’t said about the ‘Beneath the surface’ boxset for this one.
2) They haven’t included the ‘Legacy Collection’ boxset
3) They haven’t included ‘Frontios’
PedroPete
March 15th, 2015 - 9:42pmand Davison is spelt wrong! 🙁
JellyBaby100
March 16th, 2015 - 4:04pmI think the logic of ‘Doctor Who’ and the Silurians is that it’s available both in the Silurians box set and the Beneath the Surface boxset, but the Silurians boxset is cheaper so if you only want ‘Doctor Who’ and the Silurians you’re better off with that one. You can tell because they’ve listed The Sea Devils and Warriors of the Deep as Beneath the Surface boxset.

ToaT: 6/10
MoA: 7/10
VoA: 7/10

(Mara Tales is the average of Time-Flight & Arc of Infinity’s scores)
Warrior
March 15th, 2015 - 8:21pmIs Masque of Madragora any good?
MaxP
March 16th, 2015 - 12:48amYes, very good! Worth getting!
Grand Moff Moffat
March 16th, 2015 - 9:47amYes! Essential Classic Tom Baker!
the astronaut if death
March 15th, 2015 - 7:24pmIs trial of a timelord good?
matparks08
March 15th, 2015 - 7:33pmIt’s a Marmite story – if you like the Colin Baker era then yes you’ll like it, if you don’t like the 80s stories generally then avoid like the plague!
Sam Richard Bentley
March 15th, 2015 - 7:56pmIt’s one of my favourites. I think it’s Colin’s finest on screen performance.
ahunter8056
March 15th, 2015 - 8:28pmI think it’s great. Definitely the best of the Sixth Doctor. Apart from the plant murder mystery part, it’s all good stuff.
Grand Moff Moffat
March 16th, 2015 - 9:49amEhh…On the fence about it,Mindwarp and Terror of the Vervoids are good, but The Ultimate Foe spoils everything.The Mysterious Planet is…me.
Also, Mmmmmm Marmite!
Lifefoot
March 15th, 2015 - 6:34pmI have taken the opportunity to purchase The Enemy of the World, The Moonbase and Scream of the Shalka. I was a bit apprehensive about paying a great deal for each of them, as the former two could well end up with special editions down the line and the latter is just an add-on to the extensive range.
For a fiver apiece, you can’t go wrong though!
Sam Richard Bentley
March 15th, 2015 - 5:59pmGuys, need opinion – Green Death, Inferno or The Mind of Evil? (I want Inferno most, but wanted to see what people think is the better story!)
booboo
March 15th, 2015 - 6:01pmdifficult to choose
green death for me
Sam Richard Bentley
March 15th, 2015 - 6:07pmIs that on story alone, of the DVD features too?
Sam Richard Bentley
March 15th, 2015 - 6:11pmActually – thanks for the advice, but I think I’m going to go with Inferno. It’s the one that seems to stand out to me the most.
Lifefoot
March 15th, 2015 - 6:30pmI would also go with The Green Death. It’s a great story and the special edition is chock full of goodies.
I think The Mind of Evil is an underrated gem, a gritty thriller that feels very original in 50+ years of Doctor Who goodness. I do like Inferno a great deal, but I do think it is two parts too long, though the special edition has some great features.
The Monitor
March 15th, 2015 - 7:59pmAll three are great for different reasons. The Green Death is probably the most “fun” and watch-able, The Mind of Evil the most frightening, but Inferno is probably the dramatic best, so well written and directed. If you watch it without distraction, it is a very tense and serious drama.
Going back 25 years, I argued that The Daemons was the best Pertwee and my older friends stated it was Inferno – it seemed to be a two horse race in fandom – bit like the Oxford/Cambridge boat race. In the last ten years I have now decided it is Inferno of the two, and only one other Pertwee tops it slightly and that is Spearhead.
Grand Moff Moffat
March 16th, 2015 - 9:50amInferno! Just bought it and it’s fantastic!!!
Sam Richard Bentley
March 15th, 2015 - 5:47pmAnyone else think it’s odd how they have boxsets included in the 3 for £15 offer, even though there’s a offer on boxsets anyway?
I think I’m going to take advantage of that 3 for £15 though, to get Scream of the Shalka, K9 Tales and one other, need to decide on that last one.
Lifefoot
March 15th, 2015 - 6:25pmThe boxsets available in the 3 for £15 offer are sort of anomalies in the range. K9 Tales includes a poorly regarded story and an extension to the range in the form of K9 & Company. The Legacy Set contains Shada, the infamous unfinished story, and another extension to the range, More Than Thirty Years in the TARDIS.
Both sets are more of an odds and sods collection than anything else, less appeal, therefore a lower price. I love both though!
WibblyWobblyTimeyWimey
March 15th, 2015 - 4:56pmWhich of the 3 for £15 DVD’s would you recommend buying (I don’t currently own many classic dvds)
Sam Richard Bentley
March 15th, 2015 - 5:57pmRemembrance of the Daleks
Greatest Show in the Galaxy
The Curse of Fenric
DoctorRiverTARDIS
March 15th, 2015 - 6:29pmpersonally I would get;

City of Death
The Green Death or Inferno
Grand Moff Moffat
March 16th, 2015 - 9:51amInferno SE
The Talons of Weng Chiang SE
Remembrance of the Daleks SE
JellyBaby100
March 15th, 2015 - 4:26pmDoes anyone know when does the offer ends?
Lifefoot
March 15th, 2015 - 6:28pmI don’t think there will be an end to it. The range is all but finished, with the exception of The Underwater Menace and any discovered stories, so retailers will now be looking to get rid of stock before the releases are classed as deleted. The range has been going on for a good 15 years now (10 if you don’t count the initial releases which have been re-released as special editions), which is a terribly long time.
The range has brought us some excellent content and has had a great life.
JellyBaby100
March 15th, 2015 - 9:35pmDon’t know if this is good or bad. I’ve only just started my Classic Doctor Who collection, so this means I don’t have to spend as much money, but surely they won’t just stop selling them? There’s always going to be demand for Classic Doctor Who DVDs, right?
Lifefoot
March 16th, 2015 - 6:51pmThe market is only relatively niche and the range has been going on for a long time now. Every DVD ceases production at some point, but you will stick be able to purchase them, stock permitting.
KEVIN BUNKER
March 15th, 2015 - 4:25pmI got myself the last 6 DVDs I was missing last week (using this offer), they turned up a couple of days ago…, very happy to say I’ve got everything available to date now. 🙂

March 15th, 2015 - 3:33pmHoping to get The Rescue / The Romans and The Space Museum / The Chase soon!

March 15th, 2015 - 1:51pmHow long is the offer on for?
Warrior
March 15th, 2015 - 1:05pmWhat should I get:
Trial of a Timelord and Mara Tales
Or
Masque of Mandraggora, Vengence on Varos and Scream of Shalka
Warrior
March 15th, 2015 - 1:36pmOr do I go all out and buy them all for £33? That’s 9 stories and 34 episodes.
It does mean that I’d have to cancel my order of Paddington film on Blu-Ray though.
What should I do?
Cymon Hodson
March 15th, 2015 - 7:55pmGet them all and cancel Paddington, that will soon drop in price after its initial release
Grand Moff Moffat
March 16th, 2015 - 9:52amGet all of them.
sonic boom
March 15th, 2015 - 12:44pmwhich should i buy: new beginnings and the rescue and the romans
or terror of the zygons, image of the fendahl and the invasion
VespiformsSting
March 15th, 2015 - 12:51pmTerror of the Zygons Fendahl and Invasion without a doubt ….Zygons is Bakers best story……and Fendahl and Invasion rate very highly too….The rescue and the romans are worth a look but new beginnings…the end of a poor Baker season and the beginning of an even worse Davison one…..
sonic boom
March 15th, 2015 - 12:54pmthank you VespiformsSting i will order them now
VespiformsSting
March 15th, 2015 - 1:10pmGet romans and the rescue later eh…both excellent stories even if the romans is a bit of a romp theres some fine Hartnell…Rescue is a great story which shows how 50 minutes can be used well….

KEVIN BUNKER
March 15th, 2015 - 4:27pmI found The Romans story to be my favourite 1st Doctor story, it was quite funny. 🙂
