Ten years ago - May 1996

BBC Video

The TV Movie gets released a few days ahead of its BBC1 premiere.

 

Did I buy it?

Yes of course I did. So did you. We all rushed out for the thrill of getting it before the public saw it.


Other Video

The TVM publicity leads to yet another release of the Cushing movies.

 

Did I buy it?

Nope - I still do not own either Cushing movie on any format.


New Adventures

The fiftieth NA sees the cover style changing and Cornell marrying off his most enduring creation.

 

Did I buy it?

No - and it goes for over thirty quid these days so I doubt I ever will.


Missing Adventures

The Doctor and his packed Tardis land in Victorian England and things are not what they seem.

 

Did I buy it?

No - though I notice Tegan is wearing her boob tube - I wonder if they pop out in print?


BBC Novel

Gary Russell tries to make sense of the TVM.

 

Did I buy it?

No but I have the audio version.

 


Script Book

The script, minus Gary Russell's attempts to make sense of it, in all its glory.

 

Did I buy it?

No - I thought I'd let other people read the lines for me.


Miscellaneous

Lance Parkin's oft reprinted tome which tries to contextualise everything that has ever happened ever.

 

Did I buy it?

Yes - not this version but Parkin's original, self published paperback.

 


DWM

Oh this is just too much excitement. New Doctor Who, New Doctor Who.

 

Did I buy it?

Yes - I think I probably joined in the excitement in those days.
