The Curse Of Fatal Death on YouTube

If the "lack" of size is an issue, perhaps they can do a Comic Relief Doctor Who-related set. A bit repetitive for the newer stuff considering I believe all of those have been included in their respective series sets, but then we can have other stuff like Dimensions in Time out, too.

Dimensions in Time is Children in Need, not Comic Relief. Notice how DiT isn't funny.

That all depends on what makes ya laugh!

 

[Stevil2001]

Well, it's not supposed to be funny. I don't think. Who knows what it's supposed to be?

Oops, quite right. For some reason I merged Comic Relief and Children in Need into one.

^IIRC, "Dimensions in Time" is held up by an agreement amongst the actors that they would appear in it without pay only on the condition that it never be released for profit and never be aired on TV beyond its original charity airing.

Yeah, it was never intended for any distribution beyond the original broadcast, because the licensing would have been atrocious (the fact it was a crossover with EastEnders complicated matters even further). A lot of folks wish it was never made, but it was nice to see the actors again, even if only for a few seconds in a few cases, plus it gave Jon Pertwee one final on-screen go at the Doctor (not counting his work on the fan film Devious). And like it or hate it, it got Tom Baker back in the scarf, which is something neither The Five Doctors nor Russell T Davies were ever able to do.

When Curse of Fatal Death was released on VHS, they included about another half hour's worth of spoofs, including one with Lenny Henry as the Doctor, and a Jennifer Saunders/Dawn French parody that was never broadcast, and which was shot on the set of Trial of a Time Lord. I think they could easily fill up extra DVD space by including these items, along with more recent stuff like the Dead Ringers parodies, the Comic Relief skit with David Tennant and Catherine Tate. Heck, maybe they could even work a deal with NBC to include the Paris Hilton skit from SNL!'

There was a Who related Paris Hilton skit?

 

[Mr Light]

It was a sketch on SNL where she hosted a sci-fi nerd phone sex line, she puts on the Tom Baker scarf and says "I feel like a Day-lek" (she mispronounced it of course) or something like that.

 

[Captain Pike]

Actually, I think I've seen that now that you mention it.

Barely. His stock footage presence in "The Five Doctors" was more prominent than his 10 second cameo in "Dimensions in Time." Plus, he seemed to be continuing his policy of never sharing the stage with any of the other Doctors.

I remember watching this when it was first broadcast and possibly constitutes the first Doctor Who I ever watched and understood. What a way to start

I'm not to keen on downloading it and so would love if they released a DVD of it with or without extras (so long as it was a good price of course)
I can still recall the one-upmanship as the Doctor and Master both kept going back in time and bribing the architect of the castle to add traps and ways out of traps.
