Top 25 Doctor Who Stories That Should Be Out on DVD 2009!
Doctor Who - The Krotons [VHS] [1968]Doctor Who - The Krotons [VHS] [1968]
Buy used from: £8.49
In my humble opinion the most underrated story in in the history of the programme and it'll look stunning when vidFIRED for release on DVD
Doctor Who - Time And The Rani [VHS]Doctor Who - Time And The Rani [VHS]
Buy used from: £6.00
Of all the remaining stories this probably has the largest scope for extra's. And it's brilliant.
Doctor Who - The Deadly Assassin [1976] [VHS]Doctor Who - The Deadly Assassin [1976] [VHS]
Buy used from: £1.68
Nearly a decade's worth of DVD's and this STILL hasn't been released!?!
Doctor Who - Invasion Of The Dinosaurs [1973] (Tv-Series) [VHS]Doctor Who - Invasion Of The Dinosaurs [1973] (Tv-Series) [VHS]
Buy used from: £9.80
Not sure about the viability of new CGI effects but from the rumblings I've heard about Planet of the Daleks Ep 3 being recoloursied for release in 09', we may be in for treat when Dinos comes out.
Doctor Who The Seeds of Doom [VHS] [1963]Doctor Who The Seeds of Doom [VHS] [1963]
Buy used from: £7.99
Note to 2/Entertain, I'm losing my mind here guys, withholding The Deadly Assassin is one thing, but no Seeds of Doom? That's just uncalled for.
Doctor Who - The Mind of Evil [VHS] [1963]Doctor Who - The Mind of Evil [VHS] [1963]
Buy used from: £11.90
I have no idea if anything can be done in regards to recolourising this classic, but of all the masses of quality Pertwee's left, this is top of the pile.
Doctor Who The Greatest Show in the Galaxy [VHS] [1963]Doctor Who The Greatest Show in the Galaxy [VHS] [1963]
Buy used from: £8.99
Delta and the Bannermen looks like a dead cert for 2009, but I'm hopeful TGSITG isn't far off either, it's by far the best of all the remaining McCoy stories, if not his entire era.
Doctor Who Terror of the Zygons [VHS] [1963]Doctor Who Terror of the Zygons [VHS] [1963]
Buy used from: £4.00
Do 2/E have something against Robert Banks Stewart? For frak's sake get this story out already!
Doctor Who - The Daemons [VHS] [1971]Doctor Who - The Daemons [VHS] [1971]
Buy used from: £9.99
Wait a minute, this isn't out yet either!?! Didn't they record a commentary back in 2001? Has to be the most wanted Pertwee DVD, so give the fans what they want!
Doctor Who The Face of Evil [VHS] [1963]Doctor Who The Face of Evil [VHS] [1963]
Buy used from: £5.99
A marvellous and strangely overlooked adventure, although thankfully season 14 looks likely to be represented in 09' by the also excellent The Masque of Mandragora, Face deserves some attention too.
Doctor Who - The Happiness Patrol [VHS] [1988]Doctor Who - The Happiness Patrol [VHS] [1988]
Buy used from: £9.99
I've changed my mind, THIS is the most underrated who ever. There's enough surviving material for an entire extra episode, so this is the perfect candidate for a new special edition ala Battlefield.
Dr Who - Meglos [VHS] [1980]Dr Who - Meglos [VHS] [1980]
Buy used from: £3.30
What can I say, I freakin' love this story! And with The E-Space Trilogy coming out next year, we may as well get good ol' Meglos out to complete season 18 sooner rather than later.
Doctor Who - Kinda [VHS] [1982]Doctor Who - Kinda [VHS] [1982]
Buy used from: £4.11
Presumably when this does come out, it'll be paired with Snakedance, which sounds great, but with The Black Guardian Trilogy and Planet of Fire pencilled in for 09', we may be in for a long wait.
Doctor Who - The Ark [VHS] [1966]Doctor Who - The Ark [VHS] [1966]
Buy used from: £10.99
Hartnell looks to be well represented in 2009 with The Rescue / The Romans a definite and The Chase and The Keys of Marinus also on the cards, if only The Ark could be squeezed in as well, it's class.
Dr Who - The Mutants [VHS] [1972]Dr Who - The Mutants [VHS] [1972]
Buy used from: £10.50
Yet another under appreciated classic, of all the Pertwee episodes that come in for criticism from fans, The Mutants is by far the least deserving. Colony in Space and The Time Monster are great too.
Doctor Who - Terror Of The Autons - 30th Anniversary - 1963-93 - Full Reconstructed Colour Version [VHS] [1971]Doctor Who - Terror Of The Autons - 30th Anniversary - 1963-93 - Full Reconstructed Colour Version [VHS] [1971]
Buy used from: £8.99
We desperately need more wonderful Roger Delgado master stories, so why on earth is Terror of the Autons still languishing away in the archives?
Doctor Who - Death To The Daleks [1974] [VHS] [1963]Doctor Who - Death To The Daleks [1974] [VHS] [1963]
Buy used from: £2.99
Both this and Day of the Daleks are long overdue for release and my preference would be for Death first, just because it has a certain charm I find irresistible.
Doctor Who - Nightmare Of Eden [VHS]Doctor Who - Nightmare Of Eden [VHS]
Buy used from: £3.68
I was torn between this The Creature From the Pit and The Horns of Nimon but Nightmare has the edge, a smart, funny adventure from an underrated season.
Doctor Who - Paradise Towers [VHS] [1987]Doctor Who - Paradise Towers [VHS] [1987]
Buy used from: £6.95
24 is the only season as yet totally unrepresented on DVD, and that's a shame cause' it's bloody brilliant. McCoy is really starting to come into his own here and PT is an undervalued gem.
Dr Who-Ambassadors of Death [VHS] [1970]Dr Who-Ambassadors of Death [VHS] [1970]
Buy used from: £9.49
Due to the complexity of restoring and recolourising Ambassadors, we may not see it on DVD for quite some time and I sincerely hope that’s not the case because it's a classic.
Doctor Who - The Dominators [VHS] [1968]Doctor Who - The Dominators [VHS] [1968]
Buy used from: £4.49
Apparently prints for this and The War Games exist at the BFI, meaning that when this get's the Restoration Team's treatment it's going to look astonishing.
Doctor Who The Android Invasion [VHS] [1963]Doctor Who The Android Invasion [VHS] [1963]
Buy used from: £5.49
Another favourite of mine, Revenge of the Cybermen may have taken it's place but it seems 2/E have tentative plans for the remaining Cybermen stories in 09', which is why they also didn't make the cut
Doctor Who - Dragonfire [VHS] [1987]Doctor Who - Dragonfire [VHS] [1987]
Buy used from: £3.25
A fantastic McCoy story with loads of potential for extra features.
Doctor Who - The Awakening/Frontios [VHS] [1963]Doctor Who - The Awakening/Frontios [VHS] [1963]
Buy used from: £4.50
It's weird that these two stories look likely to be the last Davsion era episodes released, since they are two of the best and could have some bountiful extra's. I really want The King’s Demons too!
Doctor Who - The Crusade / Space Museum - Box Set [VHS] [1965]Doctor Who - The Crusade / Space Museum - Box Set [VHS] [1965]
Buy used from: £10.99
I have a real soft spot for The Space Museum. The Gunfighters, The Sensorites, Planet of Giants & The Reign of Terror would be equally welcome. Sorry The Sun Makers, Shada, Underworld etc was no room!
