      No confidential I’m afraid.
      There was only about 10 minutes of footage since they were halfway through filming when confidential was axed. Some of that footage is now on the Doctor Who website though. 🙂

    Got it today from ASDA for £9 along with the U.N.I.T Files DVD boxset. Can’t wait to watch them!
    I’ll be going to ASDA next Monday hopefully to get Sherlock series two and maybe The Sensorites.

      The Sensorites and Invasion of the Dinosaurs are not so good episodes, get the Face of Evil instead of the Sensorites, THEN you will be much better off. 😉

      Nothing wrong with invasion of the dinosaurs. Its a great story just the dinosaurs are rubbish.Its also got some good extras. The sensorites story is a bit of a drag but the restoration of it is fantastic plus the extra serching for peter is great and is worth the price of the dvd alone. I know people rave about Face of evil but im not that big on it. Its a decent story but i always thought it draggged on

    The story didn’t really click with me. The plot didn’t, it felt too forced, liek DW was trying to be something other than itself on Christmas day.

    :/

    And where does one purchase a fantastical gateway to another world ? How did the Doctor get ahold of that ! You don’t just pull one of them out of your tardis, do you ? ❗

    The doctor diden’t regenerate, might not be the last episode someone even said that there’s another specail with Matt Smith(Doctor)

    But it is weird all doctors regenerate at Christmas, and forget the best day of the year as it’s suppost to be.

    BRAINWAVE!
    Bring out an Xmas Boxset: 2005 – 2011 may be two big to put on DVD but you could do a Matt Smith Christmas Gift Set including A CHRISTMAS CAROL AND THE DOCTOR, THE WIDOW AND THE WARDROBE! David Tennant Christmas Gift Set including; A CHRISTMAS INVASION, THE RUNAWAY BRIDE, VOYAGE OF THE DAMNED, THE NEXT DOCTOR AND THE END OF TIME PARTS 1 & 2.

      If that were to happen it would most likely be released around next October in time for Christmas 2012 (feels weird saying that cause this years isn’t even over yet!!) but I think it would be better to include all the Christmas specials without seperate ones for the two different Doctors. 😀

      When I first saw Dr Who (properly) it was the start of the New Series, with Christopher Eccleston.

      This was in 2005, and I at first, thought it was a reboot, rather than a continuation of the Classic series !! 😆

      I would have been in p6 at the time.
