More Sontarans come to DVD

Huruh!!

The BBC and 2entertain have announced more classic Dr Who DVDs to be released later in the year.

In a couple of weeks time the first story featuring fourth Doctor, Tom Baker, 'Robot' will be released - Tom has done a commentary with companion, Lis Sladen and Producer, Barry Letts, and writer, Terrance Dicks. On 9th July, 'Timelash' comes out. This is one of the best ever Dr Who adventures with classic acting, well-thought scripts, ok, actually, it's a bit crap and is actually one of the poorer stories, but eh, who cares, it's another DVD. Stars Colin Baker from 1985. Then on 6th August a double-bill starring Peter Davison, 1982's 'Time-Flight' and 1983's 'Arc of Infinity' - the latter of which was filmed on location in Amsterdam. Commentary on this DVD will feature Peter Davison and Colin Baker, who played a Time Lord called Maxil.

Janet Fielding, who played one of the Doctor's companions, Tegan, is giving her first t"to-camera" DVD interview. I've met Janet and she is a really lovely person and is a real good laugh.

And today, it has been announced that the Jon Pertwee story 'The Time Warrior' will be released in early September. This came from Pertwee's fifth and last year in the role and saw thr first appearance of a race of monsters called Sontarans. I remember this story really well when it was first shown in December 1973 (I was only 7 at the time) and really took to the Sontarans, though was not keen on the Doctor's companion, Sarah (played by Elisabeth Sladen). Oh, how times change.....

At the end of September, 26 episodes will be released from Tom Baker's 1978-79 season, 'The Key to Time' which will feature six complete stories.

And finally, just announced is the 1975 story 'Planet of Evil' also starring Tom and Lis Sladen. DVD extras are yet to be confirmed, but one thing is for certain, this Who fan is just so looking forward to reliving some childhood memories of fun and being scared....... a bit......

Now, what did I do with that sonic screwdriver? (Don't ask!)
