What, are you suggesting you don't already have copies of everything?
Speaking for myself........
No, I wish I had everything, but I don't.
I much prefer VHS myself. If something makes a noise outside, or I have to go to the loo, it's much easier to stop and rewind a bit. Most DVD systems (at least the ones I have) don't search properly.
I love DVD's for the specific reason of I don't have to rewind them--- and they take up less space on the shelf.
I understand computers can set which Region they can watch up to 4 times, so cheaper foriegn DVDs could be suitable for many. The best DVD as yet is still The Keeper of Traken, Logopolis, and Castrovalva set. You can keep watching it forever and it still amazes.
I have the above on fuzzy-recored off the TV 20 years ago--- VHS.
So when they come over the Atlanic, i'll be the first to welcome them :)

I have The Time Warrior on DVD (recorded from VHS by a good bud) ........ and I really like it a lot.
Actually, I really-REALLY like Pertwee's whole last season.

Me too, it has some really memorable stories. I remember being five or six and seeing the Doctor die, it was earth shattering.

Planet of Evil. Isn't that the one with like one of the greatest lines ever "...I'll kill him with this deadly Jelly Baby!"

Oh man, I forgot about that, a classic but it's from Face of Evil. I just watched that one.
The one weird fact I remember about Planet of Evil is that it completely smashed Space:1999 in the ratings when it aired. Which is odd because Salamar is played Prentiss Hancock aka Paul Morrow.
Actually much of the cast had been on or would return to the show again.

Here's the upcoming r-2 DVD cover for Timelash......
I like the art of the R-2 covers a lot better than the trash they throw on a lot of R-1 Who covers. ......
But, my only complaint about R-2 covers is their pastel look.
I don't like that.
I also don't like the top overpowering the photo.
The photo should be full front, like R-1's

I remember that characters's name is Borad but I've honestly forgotten every detail of that episode. I did that with a lot of the CB era, my interest just wasn't there. Now it's almost like I'm watching those for the first time.
