I have to say that I find the release of "Special Editions" somewhat irritating, especially since I already own the original DVDs.
They are fine for new purchasers, who might have missed the original release, but I feel that I am always left a little short-changed by the re-release.
I know that the DVD encoding process was a little dire to say the least, on the earlier releases (Robots of Death: the TARDIS spinning through space, and the wooden TARDIS control room have pulsing pixellation).
And as for Bluray "Spearhead from Space: SE" - not a hope in Hell! I had bought it on VHS, Laserdisc (still got it), DVD (times two). No more. Apparently 16mm film stock doesn't translate to digital high definition formats as well as 35mm film. So I shouldn't imagine that it will be very much better than DVD.
Well it wasnt as if you were forced to buy those revisits or those 4 previous versions of spearhead . at the end of a day its a choice. I think its a perfectly fair price considering the cost of a from the ground up restoration and new extras. Having seen the sweeny series 1 on blu ray (which was on 16mm) i would say spearhead will definitly look better than the dvd. Sure it wont be as sharp as 35mm but as they are using the original negs it should turn out pretty good.
Btw spearhead wasnt released on laserdisc acording to this http://www.galaxy4.co.uk/product.thtml?id=3180Commissioned by Encore in 1997 for the proposed laser disc release of Spearhead from Space which never materialised

Yes you were forced to buy Spearhead DVD re-release if you wanted Terror of the Autons.
It stands for Reverse Standards Conversion, as you may know many of the master colour tapes (625-line PAL) for the Pertwee episodes were wiped during the 70's and 80's just like many of the Hartnell and Troughton episodes which no longer exist at all. However, some of the Pertwee episodes survive as 525-line NTSC colour videotapes found in American TV stations (and a few only as b/w film recordings), with these it was neccessary to convert them back to the UK televison standard of PAL (which is of higher resolution and plays back at 25 frames per second) using the RSC process. Unfortunately, the output of the process isn't really satisfactory as it causes significant fringes around the edges of objects and are less sharper than Pertwee episodes which survive in their original form.
If you have the original Claws of Axos DVD you should watch the special feature on the process for more information.
The following Pertwee episodes have required RSC as their original master tapes were wiped:
Inferno: Episodes 1-7
The Claws of Axos: Episodes 2+3
Colony in Space: Episodes 1-6
The Curse of Peladon: Episodes 1-4
The Sea Devils: Episodes 1-3
The Mutants: Episodes 1+2
The Time Monster: Episodes 1-6
Anyone know when the Christmas special will be out on DVD? I know it's not been shown yet, and won't be for another five weeks, but I'm still going to be getting it, as I'm a HUGE Dr Who fan. Have been for over seven years now, since Billie Piper was in the show. Love most of the classic Dr stories too. Have every Dr Who DVD that's come out, so far!
I think the Christmas one will be out either sometime between middle to late Jan or early Feb. I searched the web two days ago and found nothing.

The last 2 Xmas specials went up for pre order in the 2nd week of december, so I'd guess it'll be announced around then.

i did hear something about the 21st jan but have no idea if that is official
Indeed, I only found out about it a few days ago, unlike other DVD's it doesn't even mention an Easter Egg is included on the back or the info booklet inside so you don't know unless you search the menus or find out online!
some Aztecs Extras are in
00:28:08:06 DOCTOR WHO - GALAXY 4
00:24:19:14 DOCTOR WHO - AIR LOCK
00:12:10:01 THE EXPLODING PLANET
and
00:49:49:14 CHRONICLE - "THE REALMS OF GOLD"
00:07:20:06 IT'S A SQUARE WORLD
00:04:31:07 (A WHOLE SCENE GOING)
00:22:33:15 DR. FOREVER! - THE CELESTIAL TOYROOM

Intriguing... What could those extras be either side of Air Lock? Abbreviated recons like the one they made for Marco Polo?

if you select the audio navigation option on any of the most recently released dvds any easter eggs are listed on the special features option.saves time hunting around for them.

Think you could amp up the anxiety a bit more?
lol.i don't think i will be revisiting this title myself!
DONT PANIC! Im sure he will finish in time. If they didnt feel he was going to finish in time he would have dropped out by now
Yes you were forced to buy Spearhead DVD re-release if you wanted Terror of the Autons.
Also on the SE as an Easter Egg.
And at the end of the day its still by choice. its not as if you are being held at gunpoint and forced to hand over your money for it;)
Or you could get a code-free DVD player and buy the separate Region 1.

I think it was the aborted recon for galaxy 4 that was pulled from the time medlar dvd

I'm looking forward to the coarse language and sexual references (!)
