And the backdrop in The Aztecs is now so clear you can see the folds! Argh.

I always enjoyed 60's DW more in net curtain VHS vision. The void in THE MIND ROBBER looked like a void. Now you can see the walls. -Ralph The Void in the Mind Robber always looked like the Play School studio to me!

This new Blu-ray set is the first time I've come into contact with the redesigned BBFC certification logos. I see this was something that happened almost a year ago so it must be quite a while since I've bought a disc on release instead of ages afterwards.

Loads of the old Myth Makers videos with a very young Nick Briggs interviewing people from DW have appeared on Britbox under 'The Doctor'. Piles of it. Even the Jackie Lane one.

I don't think I'm ready for tomorrow. Even with a three week break at Christmas this season seems to have raced through.

Sorry, I'm talking about rewatching Season 18. Proper Doctor Who.

Today: FORTY YEARS SINCE LOGOPOLIS 4! How can that be? I remember watching it live! Church this morning. Logopolis right the way through on Blu Ray tonight. Give it a go with the new effects switched on. They're quite subtle, most work well, and they haven't buggered about with the regeneration, that's as it should be. The background changes for the final scene on Earth in Ep 4 are nicely done. A much better effort than is often the case with these.

Can't, because the bloody bbc won't make the blu ray available.

The new making of doc is very well made but tinged with the sadness of the occasion. Left me feeling rather melancholy this evening. It's made me realise how often I spend considering anniversaries of times past and wondering how healthy that is.

I try not to do that, and have tried to wean myself off of the nostalgia train completely. I think it's okay to have, like one thing that I can go back to, but if I try and re-experience everything it just leaves me stagnant and unable to move forward in my life in general.
Everyone's different of course, but I find this works best for me.

Sorry, I was trying to quote the video without the actual video. He's very clear on the private collectors having episodes isn't he.

Perhaps the waves of complaints from annoyed customers unable to buy their product reached a peak level? Also, perhaps they would like to make money? It was mad that dvd's from as far back as 2003 were in print but blu-rays went out of print weeks before release.
I shall get the ones I missed in this format and no longer have to worry about future releases. I don't care if they don't 100% match on the shelf.

The spines look like they'll be pretty close anyway with the sleeve on. I'd always intended to buy standard releases to save shelf space, but I got to the point where it looked like normal case editions just weren't coming. All we asked was that they confirmed from the outset there would be an unlimited release after the limited one. Would have saved a lot of frustration. Even when they reissued Season 12 - would it have hurt to say, but don't worry folks, we're doing this in a standard case next year.

"Axonite is simply bait for human greed. Because of this greed, Axonite will soon spread across the entire planet and then the nutrition cycle will begin. Slowly we will consume every particle of energy, every last cell of living matter. Earth will be sucked dry!" This week on Fifty Years of Doctor Who we're watching episode 291 The Claws of Axos Episode Three 50yearsdoctorwho.blogspot.com/2021/03/291-claws-of-axos-episode-three.html
