      Yes just watched it looks fantastic. With a Katy Manning voice over. Wonderful. Only five and a bit weeks to go ! Love the idea that Terrance Dicks and Malcolm Hulke were the Lennon and McCartney of Doctor Who!

      This looks so wildly beyond any expectations.

    Tom Baker M.B.E Happy Birthday 91 today.
    I had the honour of meeting him with my local group back in 1987 at the theatre Clwyd in An inspector calls.
    A great play & we all met him in the bar after where he bought us all drinks & signed our merchandise.
    A very lovely man indeed.

      Do you know if anything has been done for Season 21 at all?

      Great news Gordon. The Smugglers is a favorite of mine. Do we know which studio is doing it ?

      Fantastic, really are now filling all those gaps on the shelf. Cheers!

      Fantastic! Hopefully official confirmation isn’t too far away…

    • Gordon

      January 19th, 2025 - 9:24pm

      Matt L: not heard anything official but I highly suspect they will have banked mark strickson’s contributions when he was over doing the s20 bonus material.

      Prof Horner: not yet. I suspect it might be shapeshifter. Not necessary in 3d this time

      SV7: she was quoted as saying we will be seeing a lot more of the smugglers very soon. But then how soon is soon?

    • Richnomad

      January 19th, 2025 - 10:36pm

      Yes, she ended by saying ‘the Smugglers are coming’ but provided no further context

    • Prowl 1701

      January 19th, 2025 - 11:30pm

      So she meant an animation for it? That would be awesome, I wonder how hard it will be to animate all of the fighting going on in episode 4 though.

    • Gordon

      January 20th, 2025 - 10:18am

      To clarify She never specified animation or even extras (I was told she mentioned extras) though I did hear a while back elsewhere she has recorded a weekend with for smugglers a few years ago.

      She said “Cornwall! I loved Cornwall. And you might be seeing more from Cornwall soon! Though I’m not meant to say anything”.

      Something is definitely happening with smugglers though. It’s most likely for an animation but some are suggesting there might be a recovery (I’ll believe it when I see it). It’s also possible that the extras she has filmed is for season 4 set rather than an animation but seeing as that’s probably a while off I expect the animation will come first.

    • Prof Horner

      January 20th, 2025 - 11:34am

      Well all this is interesting Gordon. It will probably be animation , but what it will mean is that all the sixties seasons, bar 3 will only have one story a season ‘ missing ‘. I still think that it is possible that all the Troughton seasons will be completed with animation. Anyway this year is shaping up to be an exciting year for classic Who releases.

      I still hold out hope that the “collectors” will return the episodes they are holding soon.
      We know web of fear 3 is out there & if returned could get a colour make over.
      I suspect too that tenth planet 4 is held by the same collector who has web 3.
      I remember when tenth planet 4 was nearly returned in the 90’s & the rumours of who it might be, I can’t say who but some may suspect, i guess time will tell.

    • Gordon

      January 20th, 2025 - 11:17pm

      The problem with knowing the whole web 3 is still out there it’s coming up to 12 years that he returned web and enemy to the bbc. Heck next year is 15 years since Philip first discovered it in 2011. A million and one things may have happened to it in that time period. It could have become irreparably damaged or changed hands multiple times or any number of things.

    • Craig F

      January 20th, 2025 - 11:28pm

      All very true Gordon & I don’t mean to give anyone false hope, although I do remember Philip saying once that he knew who the collectors were & that talks were on going & delicate so…

    • SV7

      January 21st, 2025 - 11:09am

      Just occurred to me, I hope if Smugglers is being animated, they keep the extended opening title sequence for Episode 1…

    • TruthAreWeSure

      January 21st, 2025 - 5:05pm

      Her offical page has put a post out saying she never said it. ( as far as animation is concerned )

      @TruthAreWeSure: Its probably officially embargoed so a denial is understandable. I also seem to remember Gary Russell denying the animation of Toymaker, but it still happened and his name is on the credits!

    • Frax

      January 23rd, 2025 - 7:18pm

      Omg! I’m so excited about the Smugglers, absolutely one of my favourite Hartnell stories and plus I live in Cornwall. Either animation or if a recovery I would he mind blown….filling in those gaps for season 4!

  • Prof Horner

    January 17th, 2025 - 2:47pm

    Now a release date is confirmed for this season. Do we think the next DWM will have Pertwee season 7 cover.
    I give another look at looking for David from season 2 boxset the other night. I am wondering who will be the subject of future of Looking for feature. May I suggest John Wiles for a season 3 boxset and Kit Pedler for 4. These features are certainly interesting and I look forward to watching the Mac Hulke one.

      Possibly Peter Bryant for S6. An alternatve for S3 could be Adrienne Hill.

      It would be nice to see some of the character actors who played several different parts as subjects, the jobbing actors who where the stalwarts of British 20thC cult TV. Cyril Shaps (either S11 or S16) and Michael Sheard (S13).

      On a related note, I would love there to be a Matthew Sweet In Conversation with Deep Roy on either the S2 or S3 Blakes Seven blu-ray.

      There surely must be scope for a Ron Grainer feature as well – Season 1 would be the obvious place, although I guess it could really fit anywhere.

  • Harold Shand

    On Pete Crocker’s last post, he states that this brings to an end this run of screen grabs from the S7 set.

    Does this mean Inferno has had no extra works? I know it had extensive work for the DVD SE, so wondering if there was enough done previously with no real area for improvement for this release.

    Unless its still a work in progress, but that seems very close to the early March deadline

      He says he’s done A bit but not ground up like Silurians and Ambassadors.

      January 19th, 2025 - 11:31pm

      He said that the location work he has redone from scratch.
