Doctor Who DVDs for 2009
2009 may be short on new Doctor Who with only the four specials to look forward to, however there will be plenty of classic stories coming out for us to buy on DVD:
• The E-Space Trilogy
Three Tom Baker stories: Full Circle, State of Decay and the much under-rated Warriors’ Gate
• The Rescue / The Romans
Two William Hartnell stories. The Rescue is a two parter, The Romans a dull historical
• Attack of the Cybermen
A Colin Baker story that shows he could have been a great Doctor if only he was given more decent scripts like this fight against the cybermen
• Delta and the Bannermen
A stinker of a story from Sylvester McCoy’s first season. Special guest star is Ken Dodd of all people
• Image of the Fendhal
A gloriously gothic outing from the Tom Baker era
• The Deadly Assassin
A curate’s egg of a Tom Baker story that demonstrates why the Doctor needs an assistant to help with the storytelling
• Dalek War boxset: Frontier in Space / Planet of the Daleks
Frontier sees Jon Pertwee running around London’s South Bank as I remember it from my youth. Planet of the Daleks is the real prize, a classic dalek story with episode three having had its colour recovered using a new process.
• The War Games
An epic ten part Patrick Troughton story. Way too long but who cares, it’s Troughton!
