There's not a great deal of extras, but what's here will certainly appeal
to the Who fans.
These include a 30-strong Photo Gallery, a map of the Studio Floor
Plans from when the programme was made, Model Sequences which
show original Sandminer footage before it was cut into the series and
In-Studio, the rushes from the Doctor's and Leela's first meeting
with SV7 before any special effects and music were added.
Finally, every episode contains a Writer/Producer commentary from
Philip Hinchcliffe and Chris Boucher.
There are 24 chapters spread throughout the 95-minute feature covering all
the major scenes and breaks down to six per episode. The language and
subtitles are in English, while the menus contain suitable animation and
music from the theme tune.
Overall :
It's well-presented, but it's time the BBC were more prolific with their
DVD output and since they can fit all of a series of some programmes on a
DVD for £19.99, including Only Fools and Horses and Absolutely
Fabulous, why do we only get four episodes of Doctor Who here?
