From BBC America Shop:


Doctor Who: City of Death (DVD)
The Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) and Romana’s (Lalla Ward) plan for a peaceful holiday in Paris soon goes wrong. Cracks are beginning to appear in the fabric of time, indicating that dangerous time experiments are under way. Even the well-beaten path to the Louvre leads the Doctor deeper into mystery, much of which revolves around Count Scarlioni (Julian Glover), a sinister figure who has six Mona Lisa paintings stashed in his cellar - and they’re all originals!

Doctor Who: The Claws of Axos (DVD)
A mysterious object approaches Earth, alerting the Third Doctor (John Pertwee) and UNIT that they face another possible threat from outer space. Are the gold-skinned aliens who claim to bring great gifts to humanity as peaceful and benevolent as they first appear? If so, why is the Doctor’s archenemy, the Master, on board their spaceship?.

Love the new look for this thread. However, I would like to point out that the Region 2 section is titled "Region 1."

(EDIT = which has now been corrected.)

Just checking in for the 8th Doctor (Who thread)

The Valeyard

D'oh! Thanks. I'll fix it straight away!

The Restoration Team has let it slip that the City of Death DVD will be a 2 Disc affair!

City of Death article


Specs:

First up is a commentary, featuring actors Julian Glover and Tom Chadbon, along with the story's director, Michael Hayes.

Paris in the Springtime is a 45-minute featurette, written by Jonathan Morris and produced by Ed Stradling. It goes behind the scenes on the production of the story, with a particular emphasis on the contribution of Douglas Adams. Appearing in this informative and amusing featurette are Douglas Adams himself (courtesy of two separate interviews shot by Kevin Davies), Julian Glover, Catherine Schell, Tom Chadbon, Michael Hayes, Anthony Read (former script editor), David Fisher (writer of 'A Gamble with Time', the original story which was reworked into 'City of Death'), Pennant Roberts (director of Adam's earlier Doctor Who story, 'The Pirate Planet'), and new series writers Steven Moffat and Rob Shearman, all linked together by narrator Toby Longworth. A particular highlight is the retelling of 'A Gamble with Time', using a beautiful set of illustrations produced for this featurette by artist Jason Lythgoe-Hay.

Paris, W12 allows the viewers a rare 20-minute look inside the studio during the recording of the story, courtesy of extracts from the three Shibaden studio tapes mentioned above.

Prehistoric Landscapes is a short montage of the model landscapes and spaceship effects used in the story, most of which never saw the light of day. Similarly, Chicken Wrangler comically reveals the pitfalls of trying to film live chickens for one of the effects sequences, along with a rather too animated model chicken! Most of the material used in these two featurettes came from private collections and an astonishing amount of it was the original 35mm camera negatives!

Eye on... Blatchford is one of those little regional-interest programmes that the BBC does so well. The programme follows a day in the life of Sardoth, the Second-to-Last of the Jagaroth, as he tries to balance the responsibility of saving his race with his own attempts to fit into life in the rural village of Blatchford. It's not easy when you're green. Oh Mummy, they're at it again...

PC and Mac users will be able to enjoy the entire 1980 Doctor Who Annual in PDF format, courtesy of Steven Bagley.

An 8-minute Photo Gallery highlights cast and design photographs from the story, as well as studio floorplans and set models. Dr Martin Wiggins has supplied the production notes and there's no shortage of interesting Easter Eggs to hunt out and enjoy.

From Outpost Gallifrey:

I see they couldn't drag Eccleston in to do a commentary. I won't hold my breath on him doing anything Doctor Who-related any time soon, after the pummelling he took for leaving the series after one season.

odisn

Despite all the griping about a 4-episode story getting the 2-disc treatment over on the Outpost Gallifrey forums, that is a nice list of extras and I cannot wait for this disc. One of my all-time favorites...now if I could just get Inferno put on the schedule...

grivet

Can someone point me to the last(v7.0?) thread? Search is coming up with nothing, and the continuation link in v6.0 is broken.

Thanks!

The Valeyard

Eccleston will be back. They all come back in one way or another (via commentaries or documentary specials like Tom Baker or Big Finish Audios like McGann). Even Janet Fielding came back to do commentaries and she's pretty much disowned her time on the show.

And if any 4 Part story deserves a 2-Disc set, it's City of Death. Isn't it still the highest rated Who story ever?

Andrew

The two titles are now scheduled for November 8th

From TVSHOWSONDVD.COM:

http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=3981

moonraker

Does the November 8 release date for CITY OF DEATH refer to the UK release only, or does this date also apply to North America? In the past, UK releases would precede North America releases by several months.

David Lambert

11/8 is the North American date. Originally the NA (region 1) date was 11/1, but has now been pushed back a week. On the original date, USA would get City of Death a few days prior to the UK release. Now it looks like UK might beat USA by a day! According to Amazon UK, that title releases there on 11/7. That is probably the entire reason for the delay, mind you...just so UK can get it first!

The Valeyard

Guh! How dare they?

Andrew

The Valeyard

From a post at Outpost Gallifrey:

So get over there and let your voice be heard!

David Lambert

An Amazon rep has told me that the way they decide to put up those "Availability: NOT YET RELEASED: The studio is currently not producing this title on DVD, but to be notified when it is available..." listings like this one is by the number of people who perform unsuccessful searches on thier system for an unreleased item. Apparently the "qualifying number of searches" is not set in stone, but depends on the item. But once enough people show an interest in something, Amazon just collects their names in an attempt to build up a mailing list and provide some sense of security to themselves that "if this ever does get released, the customer will hopefully buy it from us because we took their name".

The Valeyard

Ah. Well then.....

....nevermind.
