Five years ago - June 2001
BBC DVD

Davison's finale gets a welcome DVD release and gives us perhaps the first of the great commentaries.

 

Did I buy it?

Yes - I think those were the days when a reduction to £16.99 was considered damn good business.


Big Finish

The Seventh Doctor and Ace meet Caroline John's most bizarre accent and are reunited with someone we'd all forgotten about. And the Master is in it too.

 

Did I buy it?

Yes - I remember I was listening to it when I discovered that some **** had stolen my credit card details.


Big Finish

The first part of the first great and bountiful Big Finish spinoff.

 

Did I buy it?

Yes - and I've not yet listened to it.


EDA

Kate Orman presents a world where tigers are intelligent. I don't think that counts as a spoiler.

 

Did I buy it?

Not that I know of.


PDA

A 5th Doctor novel which can be bought from Amazon for a penny. Plus postage. The reviews suggest it is over priced.

 

Did I buy it?

No - since I am neither a completionist nor a member of his immediate family.


DWM

Caves of Androzani gets the full treatment and we have the second half of the now legendary PIP AND JANE~! interview.

 

Did I buy it?

Yes - both halves of PIP AND JANE~! are wonderful.
