Doctor Who DVD news: Box Art For Classic Doctor Who June 2003 Titles | TVShowsOnDVD.com

Silurians, Sea Devils and Warriors of the Deep hit DVD. If you put Warriors in the middle, it's a crap sandwich on great bread.

Warriors of the Deep is the only one I haven't seen yet..

You're REALLY making me wanna see it now

[Bo8a_Fett]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooo...don't do it type1kirk Ingrid Pitt's embarresing karate kick at that other embarresment the myrka...it could be the scariest Who story ever for the wrong reasons...seriously though the "Silurians" and "sea devils" get a raw deal here.

Warriors of the Deep.
They say: anything that bad needs to be seen.
I saw it.
It brought tears to my eyes, and not in a good way....

The Myrka??? I thought they had borowed Monty Python's Pantomime Horse for this story! They should have included the Pantomime Goose and Pantomime Queen and it would have been more entertaining.

I like that the company making the current Dr Who figures is going to start making classic figures like the Sea devils, Sontarans and the original Master.

I made the mistake of reading the Target Novel before seeing Warriors of the Deep. It painted a great picture of a dank underwater lab, a scary Myrka in my head it was great.

I was pumped, what I got served was sterile, overlit sets (a JNT trademark), silly light up heads Silurians and a Myrka that would have been rejected during the Hartnell years.

Funnily enough the people underneath the costume were thesame that played the pantomime hor5se in "Rentaghost"...so no suprise there....
Coming soon on dvd are "Trial of a Time Lord" box set, "Black Orchid" and "Invasion of Time".
Just got "Time Meddler" and love it....more Hartnell please

....more Hartnell please

I thought I heard that the BBC taped over alot of the original shows?

Being in America the first Dr I saw was Peter Crushing in the 2 movies. A few years later our local PBS station started carrying the Jon Pertwee and later the Tom Baker episodes . Things get spotty after that till the newest incarnations of the Dr.


Ive only seen a few clips from the first 2 Drs episodes.

Ok in reference to the "missing" episodes front on Dr Who.....
Many episodes kept in storage in the BBC archives were scheduled for destruction to make more room....these are the days when episodes were kept mainly in film canisters...and also as equity had a lot of say in repeat broadcasting. This "Dejunking" took place in the late 1960's early 1970's and the Hartnell and Troughton stories bore the brunt of the massacre. A few fans such as Ian Levine (who had approached the BBC to discuss borrowing old stories to show at amongst the first meetings of Who fans) discovered the culling of old stories and bought the episodes off of the BBC so they didn't destroy them. As far as the BBC were concerned , apart from overseas sales, the episodes were worthless and they saw no need to keep them (remember this was pre-home video era and nostalgia was not the money spinner it is now).
Many episodes have turned up in bizarre places such as jumble sales, a property that used to belong to the BBC and was purchased by the Mormon church had 2 episodes found when it was cleared out, overseas tv broadcasters namely africa, australia and new zealand. The interest prompted the BBC to recognise the value of the old episodes and asked overseas broadcasters to check their archives, film collectors were also asked to check their archives also ( the BBC only asked to copy the films then they would be returned).
Dr Who is unique in that although many episodes are missing there is a complete audio recording of all the missing episodes(Who fans even back then were obsessive and recorded the audio from their tvs). The hunt continues to this day with only last year the BBC offering a full scale Dalek to anyone who found a missing episode.
