What was so bad with the recon. I bought the dvd just not watched it.

Basically its just a slide show of the existing telesnaps played in order alongside the audio. The pictures have cleaned up well and the audio is really clear. The are no opening and closing credits, no cgi added, no roling captions to explain whats going on. Doesn't work at all. At times you are watching a static picture with no explanation of what is going on. Even this months dwm review is critical of it. The loose cannon version is vastly superior.

Yeah, it really is very cheaply done. Rather disappointing that a teeny bit more money couldn't have been found to complete this just a little bit better.

No title or credits on the recons? Thats got to be the dumbest thing they ve ever done. Still dont suprise me look how they shitted on the ice warriors vhs release.

I know that the BBC can't do any sort of crowdfunding, but I would so kickstart and crowdfund the hell out of animating the remaining missing episodes for DVD release if that were at all possible. I would do it either DVD by DVD or as a whole. I so wish that this was possible.

With the release of the Christmas Gift Set in the US and the addition of dates for Series 9, Part II and the addition of The Husbands of River Song Christmas Special, here is the list:


The Complete Series 1 Blu-Ray: UK: Released, US: ?
The Complete Series 2 Blu-Ray: UK: Released, US: ?
The Complete Series 3 Blu-Ray: UK: Released, US: ?
The Complete Series 4 Blu-Ray: UK: Released, US: ?
The Underwater Menace (finally!): UK: Released, US: ?
Series 9, Part II: UK: January 4th, US: January 26th
The Husbands of River Song: UK: ?, US: ?


As a note, since all of the dates at this point are in 2016, I will go ahead and start the 2016 list. If you would please follow me to that list, then we can have some more fun discussions.

Might as well stick to loose cannons then.

The Underwater Menace is due in the US Jan 19, 2016

Sigh! Now Amazon has it at March 1, 2016.

Still happy it's going to be released R1
