Top 25 Dr Who stories that should be out on DVD 06' update!
Doctor Who - Survival [1989]Doctor Who - Survival [1989]
Buy used from: £1.75
We've had the magnificent beginning box set, now we need to see the end! Plus it's been ages since the last McCoy release and this would make a superb DVD.
Doctor Who The Seeds of Doom [1963]Doctor Who The Seeds of Doom [1963]
Buy used from: £14.99
A real classic in every sense, plenty of scope for extra features and ultimately one of the finest stories of the Tom Baker era, it needs to be appreciated in all it's glory on this shiny new format.
Doctor Who - The Krotons [1968]Doctor Who - The Krotons [1968]
Buy used from: £6.50
Although there's precious little left to choose from, we need as much Pat as possible on DVD and I can think of no better choice than this, it's just ripe for reappraisal and still very underrated.
Doctor Who - The Power Of Kroll [1978]Doctor Who - The Power Of Kroll [1978]
Buy used from: £3.43
This is here to represent The Key To Time saga as a whole which has still not been given a region 2 release. It's well overdue, and could make a terrific box set if done properly.
Doctor Who - The Trial Of A Timelord [1963]Doctor Who - The Trial Of A Timelord [1963]
Buy used from: £11.80
Another stunning potential box set here, with a wealth of possible extras. It would also beef up the number of Colin Baker stories available and would make quite an enticing purchase.
Doctor Who The Sea Devils [1995] [1963]Doctor Who The Sea Devils [1995] [1963]
Buy used from: £10.49
A popular choice and like The Green Death one of those stories that everyone remembers. Not to mention one of my favourites, and it'd be nice to see it properly restored.
Doctor Who - The Time Warrior [1973]Doctor Who - The Time Warrior [1973]
Buy used from: £4.69
For a start it's the only story that has never been available complete and unedited, plus it's the first appearance of Sarah and the Sontaran's. Reason enough that it should be given a proper release.
Doctor Who - The Deadly Assassin [1976]Doctor Who - The Deadly Assassin [1976]
Buy used from: £3.69
A true classic, that should have been out ages ago. It's a brilliant story and deserves the restoration teams treatment sooner rather than later.
Doctor Who - Kinda [1982]Doctor Who - Kinda [1982]
Buy used from: £7.75
Like McCoy, there hasn't been a Davison story out for a long time and this is an obvious choice. An excellent story with plenty of potential in the features department.
Doctor Who - Invasion Of The Dinosaurs [1973] (Tv-Series)Doctor Who - Invasion Of The Dinosaurs [1973] (Tv-Series)
Buy used from: £14.75
Obscenely underrated and would be a nice choice anyway just for a bit of variety. This could make a great DVD and John Levene has already recorded a commentary.
Doctor Who - The War GamesDoctor Who - The War Games
Buy used from: £11.99
Obvious really. An epic story, a milestone in the series history, it's just crying out for a full restoration job not to mention some lovely bonus features. Everyone would want this.
Doctor Who Terror of the Zygons [1963]Doctor Who Terror of the Zygons [1963]
Buy used from: £5.00
Such a fantastic, iconic, spooky adventure. Everyone likes this one and it would be fitting tribute to the late great John Woodnutt. So get it out BBC!
Doctor Who The Greatest Show in the Galaxy [1963]Doctor Who The Greatest Show in the Galaxy [1963]
Buy used from: £13.96
The more McCoy the better! And this is utterly brilliant, c'mon itÂ’s the one with the clowns! And like so many, if not all the Slyv stories, a lot of available material and potential for extras.
Doctor Who - Cybermen (Limited Edition)Doctor Who - Cybermen (Limited Edition)
Buy used from: £14.00
With the advent of the recently confirmed Invasion DVD with animated missing episodes, I can think of no better candidate to next undergo the process than The Tenth Planet. It has huge potential.
Doctor Who - Shada [1979]Doctor Who - Shada [1979]
Buy used from: £9.99
With so many exciting possibilities, another story that could benefit greatly with animation to fill in the gaps is Shada, it would make a great package anyway, but with this it could be essential.
Doctor Who - Time And The RaniDoctor Who - Time And The Rani
Buy used from: £7.00
Yet again this would offer some much needed variety to the range and with The Mark of the Rani already on the horizon, there's no better time to give Sylv's first story a DVD release.
Doctor Who - The Daemons [1971]Doctor Who - The Daemons [1971]
Buy used from: £19.99
An undeniable fan favourite that could provide plenty of meaty bonus features, really who wouldn't want to see this one on the market. And it gives us some more hardcore Roger Delgado action!
Doctor Who - The Five Doctors [1983]Doctor Who - The Five Doctors [1983]
Buy used from: £2.20
Yes I know, this one's already available, but the DVD is crap. This deserves to be re-released with all available versions on a attractive three disc set, brimming with lovely extra's. Drool.
Doctor Who - Battlefield [1989]Doctor Who - Battlefield [1989]
Buy used from: £9.95
Can't tell I'm a McCoy fan can you? Seriously this has massive potential for a Curse of Fenric style special edition, with loads of footage in existence, this could be stunning.
Doctor Who - Terror Of The Autons - 30th Anniversary - 1963-93 - Full Reconstructed Colour Version [1971]Doctor Who - Terror Of The Autons - 30th Anniversary - 1963-93 - Full Reconstructed Colour Version [1971]
Buy used from: £12.99
Another great Pertwee story, that desperately needs to be re-mastered. There is so much to like here, especially Delgado's superlative portrayal of The Master. Let's hope it's out in the near future.
Dr Who-Ambassadors of Death [1970]Dr Who-Ambassadors of Death [1970]
Buy used from: £4.50
If what I've been reading recently concerning the successful reinstating of colour to this story is true, then there is a mouth-watering opportunity here, not only for this but for other episodes too.
Doctor Who The E-Space Trilogy [1963]Doctor Who The E-Space Trilogy [1963]
Buy used from: £22.70
These stories could make an outstanding DVD set. A commentary has already been recorded for State of Decay, there could be lot's of nice additions bonus wise and I'm sure this would sell very well.
Doctor Who - The Brain Of Morbius [1976]Doctor Who - The Brain Of Morbius [1976]
Buy used from: £2.19
This is a wonderful story and I'd love to see it get the RT's treatment. Plus Phillip Madoc again is superb, did you notice I've accidentally included every episode he's ever been in on this list?
Doctor Who - The First Doctor (The Sensorites [1964] / The Time Meddler [1965] / The Gunfighters [1966])Doctor Who - The First Doctor (The Sensorites [1964] / The Time Meddler [1965] / The Gunfighters [1966])
Buy used from: £19.50
The Time Meddler will be difficult to restore but is a outstanding story and an obvious choice. Also The Gunfighters,The Ark,The Chase,Keys Of Marinus and War Machines cause there's no room for them.
Doctor Who - Planet Of The Spiders [1974]Doctor Who - Planet Of The Spiders [1974]
Buy used from: £19.99
What better way to end than with Pertwee's swansong. Mentions forThe Silurians,The Rescue/Romans,The Happiness Patrol, K9 & Company,Paradise Towers and countless other classics that I couldn't fit in.
