Ten years ago - February 1996
Video

The last video of the diamond logo era and also the last release before the entire range was deleted as part of the TVM deal.

 

Did I buy it?

It took a while but I got a copy on eBay for £17.


Video

Another release for the first Cushing movie, no doubt to jump on the hoped-for TVM bandwagon.

 

Did I buy it?

I still don't own either film on video or DVD. I don't even think I have a watchable copy taped off the telly.


New Adventures

Andrew Cartmel ties up "the dark trilogy which began with Warhead and continued in Warlock". Shouldn't that be the "war" trilogy?

 

Did I buy it?

I might've heard of it... but I might be thinking of Warhead or Warlock.


Missing Adventures

The Doctor and Bridget Forsythe Dodo go back in time and become embroiled in old French affairs.

 

Did I buy it?

Yes. I actually did. Second hand. Probably eBay. Sold for a small profit. Never read.


Biography

Jessica Carney recounts the life and career of William Hartnell in a cunningly titled memoir.

 

Did I buy it?

No. People want £40 upwards at Amazon Marketplace so I don't think I ever will.

 


CD

The second (and to date final) Pertwee audio adventure. Written by Barry Letts and highly rated by... Barry Letts.

 

Did I buy it?

Nope - not only haven't I bought it but I never even heard it on the radio.

 


DWM

TVM fever is in the air as DWM devotes its cover to 1975's finest story featuring John Woodnut.

 

Did I buy it?

Yes - that cover is so orange it actually eases symptoms of the common cold.
