Not to be a pain but is there any way of knowing which classic Who DVDs have been reissued? Is it just the case that any DVD labelled as 'Special Edition' is a re-release with extra features etc? Also watched The Five Doctors yesterday. Didn't enjoy it as much as when I first saw it, it felt a bit disjointed and box-ticking at times (Dalek? Check! Cybermen? Check! K-9? Check!) because of the anniversary. I loved the ending though with the Doctor rejecting the Timelords and his promotion as president, in favour of going on the run again. It also made me realise I haven't seen any of the second Doctor's stories so have just ordered The Tomb of the Cybermen off eBay. |

The Five Doctors is the poorer younger brother to The Three Doctors. The first and still the best anniversery special. The fan winks are so subtle you constantly over look them (2's Recorder etc) and it's so well acted, you actualy have to question just what kind of a relationship Troughten and Pertwee shared!

The Five Doctors does tries to cram too much in at once, just like you should at a huge party. You have fun watching but realize its all a bit much at the end. For my money Anthony Ainley's Master in this one is better than Omega as well. |

I've never thought Tomb of the Cybermen that great. It has some great scenes - the Cybermen emerging, the Doctor chatting to Victoria, but as a whole i don't find it that satisfying. Possibly because it takes two of the four episodes before we see a Cyberman. I loved the Target book as a kid and got caught up in the whole great lost Tomb of the Cybermen stories. Then when it turned up on vhs we discovered it wasn't anywhere near as good as the lost story hype suggested. To those who weren't around at the time, it was like expecting to see Superman and all we got were the kids from Kick Ass. Edit - I should add as far as Cybermen stories go then only The Invasion and Earthshock are its betters imo. Last edited by Demdike@Cult Labs; 5th July 2013 at 04:18 PM. |

The only thing I find hilariously bad about Tomb is... This. Go to 03:47. (sigh) Even by 60's standards thats pretty poor! |

I love Earthshock. Probably the best Old Who episode I've seen to date. |
