Hi everyone, 


 


i know the dvd thing was covered recently, but i missed most 
of it.  I am upgrading to a new tv and dvd player very soon.  I live 
in adelaide, south australia.  I know that most of star trek will soon be 
available here, but i am most curious about dr who.  i have most of 
everything from late 60's until the show's end on video, but would love to get 
it all again on dvd.


 


Does anyone know out there if this is likely to happen in the near 
future.  if not adelaide, is there an overseas mailing list i could order 
from?



BBC Video is testing the waters so to  speak later this year sometime in
November (presumably) by releasing the Five Doctors Special Edition on
DVD.  The only extras that will be on the disc, though, is that there
will be a separate audio-only soundtrack and the sound will be mixed in
5.1 surround sound.    
Aside from this supposed release, this is the only Doctor Who output on
DVD that's been talked about (let alone confirmed).  It will be region 2
encoded of course, but those people that can view PAL on their systems
will be able to see it.  The only major market that won't be able to reap
the full benefits of this new DVD from BBC  Video is North America and
CBS/FOX which distributes Doctor Who releases in NA has no intention on
release any British product on DVD.  
That's about all I know.  Byeeeeeeeeeee.

I was perusing 
scifi.com
, and picked up this tidbit.
The British magazine SFX reports it has confirmed that 'Event Horizon' and
'Soldier' helmer Paul Anderson will direct a new 'Dr. Who' film.  The BBC
verified that it is indeed working on a 'Who' film and that it expects to
make casting announcements, etc., in August.
One report has Gary Oldman taking on the coveted role of the Doctor, a job
he has said he would take if it were offered.  SFX also heard from a
"reliable source" that the starring role "has been offered to a black
American actor of some significance, but with a British actor as back-up."

Don't they think that a better release would be of title that everyone 
doesn't already have multiple copies of?  I for one don't want ANOTHER copy 
of 5 Docs.  I already have 2.  With nothing really enhanced or added to it, 
the only big benefit will be that I don't have to rewind it.  Why not release 
a series of Hartnell or Troughton stories, maybe even the Trial Of The 
Timelord would be worth it.  Then you can jump to the different stories 
without searching through miles of magnetic tape!

 American actor of some significance, 
Morgan Freeman? He's always been high on my list - great voice, lots of
presence.

"Event Horizon" _and_ "Soldier"? I have an odd sense of foreboding.

I would have thought releasing "The Beginning" Box Set in parallel
with the tape version would have been a good start.
What's the betting that anything above four episodes gets put
out on "Double DVD" packs? :-D :-(
