January 6th, 2014 - 5:06pmCan’t wait to get this! It’s a shame that they aren’t secretly sneaking on a recently recovered episodes 1 and 3 🙁 I’m not saying that they’ve found them, I’m saying it’s a shame that they haven’t and aren’t able to sneak them on. Oh well. Still can’t wait to see the animation!! The Reign of Terror wasn’t bad, The Tenth Planet had a slightly improved quality. Lets hope The Moonbase will be EVEN BETTER!

January 6th, 2014 - 8:59pmUrm… episode 1 has been out for ages for of course they’re gonna release it
Some bloke
January 6th, 2014 - 9:42pmno it hasn’t. They’ve only got episodes 2 and 4, and are animating 1 and 3… unless you know otherwise?

December 28th, 2013 - 6:13pmHey guys! My new username is Doctor, 14th; it used to be Doctor, 14th. Same sofware, new casing. 😉
Anyway, I’ve ordered The Seeds of Death (2003 DVD), The Moonbase, The Time of the Doctor (Blu-Ray) and The Web of Fear (BBC Exclusive). These are my final Doctor Who DVD’s that I will be getting. I’m only collecting the DVD’s that I really enjoyed. It’s been wonderful open up my Doctor Who DVD’s and I’ll cherish it when I receive my final ones. :,)

CyberSutekh
December 28th, 2013 - 5:40pmJust pre-ordered it on amazon, bit mystified by the price;I also bought Revisitations 3,and that’s cheaper !!!!Still looks good,though
gordon
December 28th, 2013 - 6:26pmCancel your order from amazon and order from bbc shop. Use redeem code DOCTOR and get moonbase for £11.19
matparks08
January 6th, 2014 - 10:02pmI think the price will drop by release date – they usually start at about the price it’s currently listed and then drop down a couple of pounds (usually, but sorry if that doesn’t happen)
CrazyDoctorWhoGuy
December 22nd, 2013 - 10:36ammust buy the moonbase it looks really good so must everyone else i am going to buy this

December 20th, 2013 - 2:55pmDoctor who archive reporting that underwater menace will be animated and animation is in the early stages http://doctorwhoarchive.com/2013/12/19/underwater-meance-to-be-animated-full-moonbase-dvd-details/
THE ERGON
December 23rd, 2013 - 1:08pmI thought theyd completed the animation. Its taking long enough to complete 2 episodes considering we,ve been waiting since 2011.
gordon
December 23rd, 2013 - 4:15pmIt was the restoration work of the existingg eps and grading of the extras that is complete. It’s taking so long as planet 55 studios was busy with animating reign 10th planet and moonbase.
THE ERGON
December 23rd, 2013 - 5:52pmIts a slow process then.It takes quite some time to animate 5 episodes.
Radburn
December 19th, 2013 - 8:22pmSo really all this is a case of ‘Don’t hold your breath’ for the moment – But as the saying goes ‘Never Say Never Again’…
Johnny
December 20th, 2013 - 8:38amDon’t hold your breath about what?
Radburn
December 20th, 2013 - 11:06amAbout what will or won’t be released?
Or what has been found & what hasn’t?
I don’t believe any of it, until it is actually out on the shelf to buy…
Some bloke
December 20th, 2013 - 11:40amwhat makes you say that?
booboo
December 20th, 2013 - 11:43amthis conversion some of which was deleted was about missing episodes
Some bloke
December 20th, 2013 - 11:47ambut it’s silly booboo, we all know what this release is, so why should Radburn speculate otherwise?
booboo
December 20th, 2013 - 11:50amhis comments were about someone else’s speculation on missing episodes, not this specific release, the original posts were deleted as it got out of hand so you arereading this post out of context
Some bloke
December 20th, 2013 - 12:05pmoh I see 🙂
Radburn
December 20th, 2013 - 5:15pmBooboo is quite correct – But let me clarify further: It is quite pointless to say anything one way or the other on any further releases or re-releases as SE – No one & I do mean no one has any definite ‘correct’ information on what will or won’t happen with the DVD line – That lies entirely with the upper echelons of the BBC who can make any decision they want now, in the next 5 years or whenever? ‘The Moonbase’ is done & dusted. The rest is speculation until; as I’ve said before, you can take it off the shelf & enjoy it at home…
Anonymous
December 28th, 2013 - 6:25pmActually they’ve said the line is over as of The Underwater Menace. Any further releases will not be part of the main line and are being handled by BBC Worldwide themselves rather than being dealt with by the separate group.
There will not be any more special editions, just repackaged old episodes (and anything that is recovered in the purely hypothetical situation).
Radburn
December 28th, 2013 - 8:16pmNo
gordon
December 28th, 2013 - 8:58pmAnonymous is pretty much bang on with what I’ve heard and been told about the future of the dvd line. Pupltd/dan hall involvement ends with underwater mence and all future releases will be handled by bbc worldwide and will be mimimal extras and no more special editions are being planned (rummer is they jjust aarent selling enough copies) . Another point worth making tv centre of the universe part 2 which was hosted by peter Davison has unseen behind scene footage of earthshock will be on the underwater menace dvd.
Radburn
December 28th, 2013 - 10:07pmNo again
gordon
December 28th, 2013 - 10:24pmHow no
Radburn
December 30th, 2013 - 5:03amI read a lot – It does not mean that everything I read is true or correct. Sometimes what is written is an outright lie, some of it is just incorrect, some is only a half-truth, some is wish fulfillment or especially viable is what ‘someone’ want’s to be true? What is said & what is done can be an entirely different matter? Fortunately I don’t want to kill off other people’s wishes or dreams either so I don’t use the crystal ball anymore…
gordon
December 30th, 2013 - 10:55amIm only reporting what dan hall has been stating at recent conventions so its not as if I got the info from a crystal ball
Radburn
December 31st, 2013 - 3:39amWith the caveat lector “Let the reader beware” reporting what was stated doesn’t imply absolute truth? I have reported many things & to the best of my knowledge they are ‘true’ at that moment in time. Especially if I actually have the ‘item’ in hand or it’s being sent to me – Again some things I can refer to that actually never happen, in particular release dates or production. It doesn’t mean it won’t change down the line?
CyberSutekh
December 19th, 2013 - 5:50pmOh my giddy aunt! This is a must buy !cover looks great
Joe
December 18th, 2013 - 4:46pmSince there is not many more DVDs to releases who thinks the video spin offs from the 90s should be released (EG:Downtime,Probe etc)
Existent Being
December 18th, 2013 - 5:40pmI would like Ian Levine’s edited Downtime to be released, and have other 90’s spin offs edited like this. I would also like Christopher Eccleston’s season to be brought out individually in classic series DVD format, with special features. It seems a bit to soon for David Tennant though.
gordon
December 18th, 2013 - 6:31pmyou can buy a lot of the spin offs including probe from the galaxy4 webshop. Downtime I believe has rights issues preventing a dvd release. You won’t get any of ians projects on dvd excluding Planet of giants recon. Based upon a trailer he put on YouTubeMost are pretty dire with the exclusion of shada which is good but nowhere near as good as some have claimed and mission to the unknown which is only ok.
CyberSutekh
December 19th, 2013 - 8:19pmExistent Being:Yeah,would love to have single New Series stories.They could do a Weeping Angels box set.
drjakeyoung
December 18th, 2013 - 2:11pm@Gordon, is it possible that when Dan Hall leaves, another person could take over and maybe continue the range if BBC worldwide would allow it? (god hope it’s not Ian Levine)
gordon
December 18th, 2013 - 3:52pmGoing by how Bbcww handled web and enemy without dan I think future releases beyond moonbase and menace will be handled entirely by Bbcww and will be extraless.
Maxp
December 17th, 2013 - 11:45pmThey should now start animating the Big Finish stories! 🙂
gordon
December 18th, 2013 - 12:01amDon’t think they are allowed with their liecence. It’s for audio only.
Johnny
December 19th, 2013 - 8:55amI hope not, Big Finish stories are terrible.
Mark T
December 19th, 2013 - 9:04amWow what a stupid thing to say, i have numerous stories many of which are fantastic.
Typical ridiculous post to trash a product just because they are may be not to your liking
Johnny
December 19th, 2013 - 9:41amEveryone is entitles to their opinion.
Anonymous
December 23rd, 2013 - 1:44amI’d love to see the McGann stories animated
JaffaCakes
December 31st, 2013 - 6:11pmCome on, I mean I’m not that opinionated generally, I get along by and by just passing everything and waving, but to say something so generalised! I mean, how many Big Finish stories have you listened to?
Ben Roberts
December 17th, 2013 - 11:33pmDoes anyone know if Enemy of the World will be released with features?
gordon
December 17th, 2013 - 11:48pmNo its not as its not a dan hall/pupltd /bbcww produced release. Bbc ww produced it independently without dan hall/ pup ltd. That’s why there is no extras or animation for web part 3 and the artwork is different.
Ben Roberts
December 18th, 2013 - 9:08amThat is extremely disappointing .-.
Johnny
December 18th, 2013 - 4:18pm@ Ben Robetrs – You should be grateful to be able to see the story at all.
Ben Roberts
December 18th, 2013 - 5:18pmAnd you should learn not to accuse people of being ungrateful when they are not, but hey. In an ideal world.
Johnny
December 19th, 2013 - 8:56amYou sound *very* ungrateful, though.
Buy me
January 11th, 2014 - 7:01pmIf you have virgin media you can watch the web of fear including the recon of episode 3
skaroman
December 17th, 2013 - 10:06pmWould anyone convince the BBC to release the animated ‘mission to the unknown’ episode.
Anyone who has watched it would know that it is a great episode!
gordon
December 17th, 2013 - 10:19pmIt’s ok but nothing special plus its not worth releasing on its own. Also there is nothing suitable to pair it with Plus is it really worth releasing and selling it in shops when its readily available freely online.
Connor
December 17th, 2013 - 10:41pmI think they should release on DVD! I downloaded the animated episode on a dvd and put a Mission to the unknown cover art on the case and it looks great on the shelf! they should release it in a box set with a story that could get a special edition release like The Dalek invasion of Earth! that would be awesome and it would help sell a special edition of that story aswell as have mission to the unknown on our shelfs! The box set could be a Dalek boxset!
gordon
December 17th, 2013 - 10:44pmBut as I’ve already said dan hall has said there is no more special editions being planed considered or getting commisioned. Once he has delivered menace he is done with the range and is moving on.
THE ERGON
December 23rd, 2013 - 1:18pmThey could release’mission to the unknown with daleks masterplan if they ever get found as it ties neatly in with that.
Connor
December 17th, 2013 - 9:35pmWill there be special editions for older stories that got released like The Dalek invasion of Earth, Mind Robber, Ghost light and etc. I really would really like one more year of special editions for old relees because there hard to find in Australia nd they stop making copies!
gordon
December 17th, 2013 - 9:57pmnope. Dan hall said at a recent convention that Green death was the last special edition planned.
Connor
December 17th, 2013 - 10:45pmthey also said Vengeance on Varos would be the last special edition in 2011 so maybe we will get special editions for one more year because of the very few DVDs released for 2014! all we know were getting are the Moonbase, Underwater Menace, Series 8 and Time of the Doctor! so im sure there going to release a few more special editions to fill up 2014.
gordon
December 17th, 2013 - 10:48pmNo he didn’t say that. He said vengeance on varos would be the first in a line of singular special editions.
Connor
December 17th, 2013 - 10:59pmAnd if they find more missing episodes of Doctor Who then we wont be finished with the range as of yet. The lack of DVDs for 2014 is a bit pointless and they should (Even though they havent planed it) release the Crusade for DVD for 3 reasons:One its a great story and its one of the brilliant Historical storys of the 1st doctor.Two it will complete the secound season of the 1st doctor DVD releases and it looks better with more 1st doctor stories on the shelf to be honest and Three because animation is the 2nd best thing we get to the lost story
gordon
December 17th, 2013 - 11:19pmThe range was originally going to end in 2013 but with delay with moonbase and the finding of web and mence ep 2 its been extended to 2014 but no way is it woryh extending the range for a whole year over 3 releases. It will be like web and enemy if more eps are found and Dan hall and pup ltd didn’t have any involvlment in those releases as they were entirely produced by Bbcww (thats why the cover is different and are extras free and web 3 won’t be getting animated).
gordon
December 17th, 2013 - 11:25pmAlso sales of reign apparently wasn’t as high as expected so future animations beyond titles already agreed upon (10th planet ice warriors moonbase and menace were the titles already contractually agreed upon) were apparently scrapped. Also web is only missing 1 ep and thats not getting animated so I definitely cant see them animated crusade as that has 2
Lachie
December 18th, 2013 - 8:20amfellow Australian Classic Who Collector also i can understand how painful it is with running stock, ‘The Two Doctors’ is completely gone 🙁 can’t be bought anywhere. Although i agree with Gordon on this one, there should be no need for further Special Editions if there’s no further way in which a release can be of better quality. I do however wish for ‘The Crusade’ to be animated and released as Connor says it is the last Season 2 Release. Either way hopeful for more Missing Episodes to be recovered
Connor
December 18th, 2013 - 9:13amI know how you feel Lachie 🙁 i really want some of the stories that they dont make and i dont want to buy of ebay! I only buy from the ABC shop or JBHIFI. thats the only reason why i love special editions (and a few other reasons also). And i think there needs to be a Crusade release and i think they will do it anyway for the fans.
gordon
December 18th, 2013 - 10:07amBbcww are a business and as a business its their job to make money so they won’t do it for the fans. Dan hall said at the recent radio skaro podcast that DVDs sales of the classic series are hemoraging and are dropping year on year and how the range will probably head to more iTunes and on demand. He also said that menace was in the embrionic stage (the wording suggests animation isn’t far along) with the amount of animation time required which suggests to me menace will be very unlikely completed until mid 2014 at earliest. Add on another 6 to 9 months for crusade we are looking at 2015 earliest for it and will have probably switched to iTunes and on demand services by then as its more profitable .
gordon
December 18th, 2013 - 11:03pmPretty sure that tweet about a wheel in space commentary was false and fake.extras for for daemons was recorded April 2011 (look at Chris chapmans tweets at that time) not years in advance. Considering the restoration team Twitter posted in September about grading the last extras for the range (for underwater menace and moonbase) its looking obvious that there ain’t more se in the works. Also isn’t it better to wait and see what’s announced instead of anonomysly claiming things have been found without evidence.
drwho10
December 17th, 2013 - 5:36pmWhy haven’t they done the covers like the enemy of the world and web of fear?
the war doctor
December 17th, 2013 - 5:39pmBecause they were special because they were recently found ones but the moonbase is just like the tenth planet and is animated
gordon
December 17th, 2013 - 5:42pmIt’s because web and enemy was not produced by pup ltd/dan hall/Bbcww and produced entirely by bbcww. That is also why there is no extras for enemy and no animated ep for web 3.
Drjakeyoung
December 17th, 2013 - 5:45pmCan we expect a special edition of those releases in a couple of years with full extras and animated ep 3?
Radburn
December 17th, 2013 - 5:56pmI wondered why Enemy had no Special Features & I’m also disappointed that Web is not being animated. As Drjakeyoung say’s above – We can only hope for a SE further down the line?
gordon
December 17th, 2013 - 5:58pmVery unlikely going by dan halls comments on a recent convention . He mentions dvd sales have been dropping year on year and its looking more likely they are taking the range more to more digital downloads and on demand services. With web and enemy being released on iTunes and web being available on virgin on demand before dvd its looking like they are heading that direction.
Son of Skaro
December 17th, 2013 - 6:05pmI’m pretty sure special editions are in the works, they may even appear by the end of 2014. It takes time to compile commentaries, interviews, documentaries, animations. Picture and sound mastering. I hope we get the crusade released also. 😀
gordon
December 17th, 2013 - 7:26pmThere is no special editions in the works. Restoration team member and dan hall have both said theree isnt any more special editions in the work. Dan hall/pupltds (same company that produces the extras) last commisions were moonbase and underwater menace.
Anonymous
December 17th, 2013 - 7:28pmYeah that restoration team member was same one who said they had found no more episodes when everyone knows they have

December 17th, 2013 - 7:29pmdo they for sure?

December 17th, 2013 - 7:44pmDon’t worry guys. The covers on TEOTW and TWOF are reversible so they can fit in with the rest of your collection
gordon
December 17th, 2013 - 7:47pmBut Steve was contractually and legally bound to say they had no more eps even if they had. He has no such legality clause on future special editions.
Anonymous
December 17th, 2013 - 8:24pmHow do you know that same as you don’. Know the web 3 is not there it’s obvious God I give up same as Ian and David you people have nor a clue what’s coming everyone said web was not back but hey it’s here and it’s the same with people who actually shot Phil down in 04/05 Ian had faith and how come only these two serials where found they bought whole of that season in one block apart from fury but that was sent and not aired at time.
gordon
December 17th, 2013 - 8:31pmWhy on earth would Steve and both lie about no special editions in the works. It serves them no purpose to lie if they were working on future special editions why would they say they are not. Makes no sence considering they will be expecting fans to buy them.
gordon
December 17th, 2013 - 8:35pmAs they are not willing to producer extras for stories that have recently been found and not had a dvd release yet I can’t see them commissioning extras for DVDs that was released about 10 years ago.
Anonymous
December 17th, 2013 - 9:41pmBecause to do extras takes time uptown twelve months sometimes daemons was done years before plus some people involved May blab on Twitter like padbury did about doing a commentary for wheel now answer why would she do that
Some bloke
December 18th, 2013 - 10:20amShe’s done a commentary for ‘Wheel’? Can we hope for it’s return?
gordon
December 18th, 2013 - 11:24amVery unlikely as web and enemy aren’t getting 1.

December 17th, 2013 - 1:09pmIts true a lot of the historicals weren,t that popular according to viewing figures during the 1960s as you know. Its a wonder nobody considered the ‘pseudo’ historical even back then. I personally consider the crusade to be the best of its kind. Even if your a new fan, i believe eventually you,d seek out these stories, just out of curiousity alone.
Johnny
December 17th, 2013 - 1:39pm“The Massacre” is a terrific story – one of my favourites in fact.
If you can get hold of a copy, the Target version expands on the TV version by quite a bit.
THE ERGON
December 23rd, 2013 - 1:15pmHaven,t read the target range in ages.Its true the massacre is a good story. I listen to the soundtrack every now and again. Peter purves’ favourite story as well.
gordon
December 16th, 2013 - 1:50pmSales of reign just weren’t high enough. They were using that as a test to see how well animated historical stories do. Dvd sales of classic series in general are also dropping year on year. Also bythetime animated underwater menace is done (bear in mind moonbase is just finished last month) it will be well on to 2014 and that won’t be completed till 2015. Also worth pointing out every other story has something going for it. Reign was the lure of first ice warriors has ice warriors 10th planet
Some bloke
December 16th, 2013 - 1:56pmUnderwater Menace won’t be completed till 2014/2015! :O Oh My God! So what will they do in the mean time. Will there be any re-releases or anything else?
gordon
December 16th, 2013 - 2:47pmIt will be released next year but if they decide to animate crusade we wont see that till late 14/early15. That was what i was refering to in my comment.
Johnny
December 16th, 2013 - 2:58pmCan you back up these statements by naming your source, Gordon?
Some bloke
December 16th, 2013 - 4:16pmoh I see. Thanks for the info gordon. 😀
matparks08
December 16th, 2013 - 5:17pmIt’s been fairly well announced that Underwater Menace will be out around April time in 2014. Unless we get lots more re-releases (or any future ‘found missing episodes’ then the dvd range will likely be few and far between from now on.
gordon
December 16th, 2013 - 6:20pmPeople are just assuming it is due about April time. Dan hall mentioned in the current radio skaro podcast (my source) that it would be released some point 2014. As he did not specificlt state when in 2014 It will be releasedI’d be suprised if its not been determined yet as its not yet ready. Moonbase has just been completed (the eps just cleared by the bbfc in the last couple of weeks) which suggests animation on meance will have just have began.
matparks08
December 16th, 2013 - 8:00pmI’m sure sometime around Sept/Oct I saw a picture of the dvd team signing off the Underwater Menace with a caption (signing off the last Dr Who dvd) before the Web of Fear/Enemy of the World appeared in October. I can’t imagine that two years after they were found that they’d only just be animating it.
hobbit dalek
December 16th, 2013 - 8:33pmis the web of fear getting animated or will get another release later on
gordon
December 16th, 2013 - 10:27pmThe reason behind the wait for menace is because menace was at the back of a que as contracts had already been agreed upon for animated reign 10th planet and moonbse between dan hall and planet 55 studios. Moonbase and menace are the last pupltd/dan hall/Bbcww co produced releases and the tweet was for the extras/vam. Web won’t be animated as its not a dan hall/pupltd produced release. According to dwa we won’t be getting menace till after April http://doctorwhoarchive.com/2013/11/08/underwater-menace-dvd-not-to-be-released-until-after-april/
Johnny
December 17th, 2013 - 9:21am@ Gordon – So your comment that “UM” witll be released “…won’t be completed till 2015..” is an assumption on your part as Dan Hall said nothing in the posdcast – all he said was that it would be sometime in 2014.
gordon
December 17th, 2013 - 1:42pmI was referring to crusade not menace. My mistake

December 17th, 2013 - 3:58pmSo if the last Pup ltd releases of the range are The Underwater Menace and the Moonbase, and the reason that Web of Fear 3 isn’t getting animated is because of this, then is it possible to release a missing story like Power of the Daleks etc, by just using telesnaps? Surely reconstructing them this way is much cheaper then animation, and is possible?
gordon
December 17th, 2013 - 4:21pmPossibly but it all comes down to if Bbcww are willing to do so.

December 17th, 2013 - 7:23pmGo to Dr who recons there excellent.
As for web 3 why would they annimate something they already have. It just needs more work than the other 9.
gordon
December 17th, 2013 - 7:56pmWeb 3 is missing. Rumours of its find is just that rumours.

December 18th, 2013 - 5:20pmGordon, do you know if the standed realese of Enemy of the World has a reversable cover with the roundals on?
Some bloke
December 19th, 2013 - 9:36amyes WFK DVD Collector 13, it does have a reversible cover with the roundels on the other side and web of fear cover will be the same 🙂

December 14th, 2013 - 9:15pmwhen was this story found
Some bloke
December 14th, 2013 - 11:33pmit hasn’t been. Episodes 2 and 4 have been in the BBC archives for ages. They’re animating episodes 1 and 3. KEEP UP!
scott
December 15th, 2013 - 10:01amthat will wreck it
Some bloke
December 15th, 2013 - 10:40amthey’ve done it with ‘The Invasion’, ‘The Ice Warriors’, ‘The Reign of Terror’ and ‘The Tenth Planet’! It worked then… just about 😀

December 17th, 2013 - 11:00pmAnimated episodes while obviously not perfect are better than none by a billion miles.
BUY ME
December 14th, 2013 - 11:39amwhat is the coming soon trailer for
Some bloke
December 14th, 2013 - 11:53amdon’t know. Considering we’ve already had one for web of fear, then it may be underwater menace. Or web of fear again
gordon
December 14th, 2013 - 1:27pmIt’s menace apparently. And I’ve heard web is getting an also available trailer for enemy of the world
Some bloke
December 14th, 2013 - 2:50pmwhat do you mean by that last bit gordon?
MasterKasterborous
December 14th, 2013 - 6:24pmAs in there will be a trailer advertising the earlier release of The Enemy of the World.
Some bloke

booboo

gordon

December 12th, 2013 - 9:30amWhy USA? 🙁
booboo
December 12th, 2013 - 9:32amUK will still get stocks 1st, its just not up for order yet
DoctorAmyRoryRiverBANG
December 12th, 2013 - 10:38amCool haha thanks
the ergon
December 12th, 2013 - 10:55amWhats with just the middle picture?.They did exactly the same for enemy of the world.There should be more moon and gravitron or did they think it would clutter the picture?.Hope there not doing the range again,with this new look. Hope its just for the remaining releases.
Some bloke
December 12th, 2013 - 11:12amWhere would Lee have put the gravitron? And I think that the full cover design thing was just for enemy of the world and web of fear. Besides, they have reverse cover which matches the past releases. So there’s no need to worry about that
WFK DVD Collector 13
December 13th, 2013 - 8:33amI have to say that now we all know for sure that the new covers are reversable to blend in with the other releases, I’m starting to like these covers even more!
One thing that still gets me though is why that changed the covers with only about four more releases to go!
The Enemy of the World Out Now
The Moonbase 20/01/14
The Web of Fear 24/02/14
The Underwater Menace TBC
gordon
December 13th, 2013 - 9:46amThey haven’t changed the cover. This is how lee binding always shows the covers on his facebook page. The actual r2 cover will have the roundels. The web and enemy covers were a special case.
Some bloke
December 13th, 2013 - 1:37pmYeah, Lee designs a full length and slightly wider image, and then they just cut it down to fit into the gap in the DVD cover
the ergon
December 16th, 2013 - 12:30pmThey could have put the gravitron at the back of the picture and they cant do reversible for the moonbase as its only available as 2 parts onthe lost in time release.
JaffaCakes
December 12th, 2013 - 8:19amWow that cover! I really think they’ve done miracles with the artwork for these last few stories that are coming out – does anyone know what else is coming afterwards (I heard about ‘The Underwater Menace’, is this really the end of the line?)?
the ergon
December 12th, 2013 - 11:06amThe underwater menace,web of fear and possibly an animated ‘the crusade’ with any luck.
Johnny
December 12th, 2013 - 3:07pmIt’s not been confirmed how or when The Underwater Menace will be released.
The last we have on Web of Fear is that it’ll be out on Monday 24th February.
There has also been no confirmation that The Crusade is getting annimated for a re-release.
JaffaCakes
December 13th, 2013 - 8:30amHm – I have to say I don’t know much about the Crusade. First Doctor and Richard the Lionheart, right?
Some bloke
December 13th, 2013 - 1:38pmyeah, you’re right. It’s not all that bad to be honest.
gordon
December 14th, 2013 - 1:32amWouldnt get your hopes up on an animated crusade release.
Some bloke
December 14th, 2013 - 2:51pmwhy’s that gordon?
gordon
December 15th, 2013 - 11:36amGoing by the comments by the restoration team. They pretty much have said after menace they are done for the moment with doctor who.
the ergon
December 16th, 2013 - 12:25pmI cant see why they wont animate it. They filled in with the reign of terror and it is only a four parter after all.
gordon
December 16th, 2013 - 1:58pmSales of reign just weren’t high enough. They were using that as a test to see how well animated historical stories do. Dvd sales of classic series in general are also dropping year on year. Also bythetime animated underwater menace is done (bear in mind moonbase is just finished last month) it will be well on to 2014 and crusade won’t be completed till 2015. Also worth pointing out every other story has something going for it. Reign was the lure of first ice warriors has ice warriors ctd
gordon
December 16th, 2013 - 2:02pm10th planet had cybermen and regeneration moonbase had cybermen and menace has an unreleased episode. Crusade has not got any major lures (scifi elements or classic monsters) which would give a boost in sales
gordon
December 16th, 2013 - 2:50pmAlso web 3 isnt being animated so it certainly isnt a guarantee that crusade will be getting animated.
