Doctor Who Season One Box Set
Since Santa failed miserably this year (NO season one box set, NO remote control Dalek, NO sonic screwdriver) I went out and bought the box set myself.
I haven't watched any of it just yet - but a couple of questions: There seem to be plenty of extras, which are the best? Are there any hidden extras/easter eggs I should look out for? Why isn't there any commentary from Christopher Ecclestone? Is the 'Captain Jack butt shot' restored in all its glory in the Bad Wolf episode or is it the edited BBC1 version? Cheers, Paul |

Sadly no Capt Jack's naked butt shot boo!!Don't know about any Easter eggs but the best commentaries on there are Empty Child/The Doctor Dances with John Barrowman and Stephen Moffatt. Hilarious.
Parting of the Ways one with John, Billie and Julie Gardner is good too. Santa didn't bring me a remote control Dalek either. Had to buy my own hmmpphh. Oh and I wonder if the TARDIS shaped box set is actually limited. In my local Virgin records they've only got one which is like any normal slipcase boxset now.

Thinking of buying this also, play.com seems to be the cheapest I can find so far, cd-wow.com had it listed for £30 but it seems to have dissappeared off their stock list

The region 1 release has been delayed from its February date.
Remember that the episode WW3 plays with 3 minutes missing if you select it on its own,but plays correctly using the PLAY ALL option. I wonder when corrected discs will be offered |

Waaa, what fault?
My boyfriend bought the box set for my birthday from amazon in November. Is this glitch when the DVD goes screwy and jumps? I can't remember what episode it was in but it was like it was scratched (it wasn't - I checked) What should I do, is it too late to replace? |

I got a radio controlled Dalek for Christmas and it is fab! I've named it Herbie.

I saw an advert for another remote-controlled Dalek and a remote-controlled Davros too. The dalek is black and the design is a bit more stylised (I think it may be from one of the Peter Cushing films) and the remote control is like a police box. Is that made by the same company?

All times are GMT. The time now is 20:24.
