TV Steve 'restoring episodes' Roberts has just made an amazing announcement. We go over to the Restoration Team Technical Forum live for his statement:
"Very happy to be able to announce that 'Genesis' sold almost seventeen thousand copies in the first week of release, putting it straight into the UK national chart at no. 24. This is the best ever performance for a 'classic series' release in the first week - and it's not so long ago when we would be expecting to see sales of about five thousand in the first week!"
Good news, considering the flattening out in the sales of classic merchandise last year and should ensure the classic dvd releases for some time to come. That said it might also have had something to do with it being Genesis of the Daleks.
Elsewhere on there, someone has spotted the cover for the dvd release of Inferno at Amazon and someone else has asked for a copper bottom list of the all time best Doctor Who stories. Some wag included The Underwater Menace in their list. I'm not sure we've ever done anything like this here, so I thought I'd offer my ten, just television stories to keep things simple. Perhaps we'll all finally learn were we stand. I suspect friendships could be broken. In no particular order then...
An Unearthly Child
City of Death
The Caves of Androzani
The War Games
Marco Polo
Battlefield
The TV Movie
The Green Death
The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances
Spearhead From Space
God that was hard. Forty odd years of stories to choose from and I seem to be bunching around regenerations and only a single Tom. Can anyone spot the controversial choice?
