Woo!

Though the bottom of the package's front saying "Starring Paul McGann as The Doctor" looks kind of odd. Though I guess they couldn't really write "The Paul McGann Years." More like "The Paul McGann Hour."

More like "The Paul McGann Hour."

That sounds like a title for a variety show.

"And tonight's guests are...."

Still, I'm glad to finally be able to get this. I still have a VHS tape I recorded the original broadcast on. I don't know if it's any good, but I've got it.

^ I figured since that thread hadn't been touched in about a month and a half, and I didn't have time to dig it up (it was no longer available for me), I would just start a new one with the latest news.

Yeah, it was brilliant. Easily my favourite Tardis interior ever.

I thought the interior of the proto-TARDIS in the Lodger resembled the one in the TVM just a little.

I'm definitely looking forward to this. Yes, it wasn't perfect, but it's still an important part of DW history. My only complaint is they missed an opportunity to do some cross-promotion with Big Finish. This would have been a perfect chance to include a featurette on the Big Finish audio dramas that McGann has been doing for the last decade (technically making him one of the longest-serving Doctors, just not on TV). They could have even included a story as a DVD-ROM bonus.

I'm looking forward to The Wilderness Years featurette, though. I hope they include references to the fan and independent films that helped keep DW and its concepts alive (Downtime, Shakedown, the Stranger series, Cyberon, the Auton series, PROBE, etc).

As I mentioned in another thread, this is proving to be a good time for those of us who have been waiting decades (in some cases) for certain shows to come out on DVD: the Doctor Who TV movie, the Bionic Woman, the Six Million Dollar Man, Max Headroom - I swear I will not be surprised if the 1960s Batman series and The Wonder Years gets announced next!

What, Batman isn't on DVD? That's kind of amazing.

I'll finally be able to retire my VCD of the FOX DW movie.

 

[Saga]

i doubt 60s Batman and The Wonder Years will ever be released.

Looking forward to owning this, too. I lost my VCR recorded copy.
