Series Two DVD
Does anyone have it? Or am I the only one? :P For anyone who's interested here's the rundown:
Special Features (All of these except David Tennant's diaries and the Confidential episodes are on the first disc. The Confidential episodes are on their own disc as usual).
-Outtakes (A few hilarious ones here, like a crewmember planting a teddy next to a sleeping David Tennant while filming The Christmas Invasion, a Cyberman running around a park shouting "I'm free! Free as a bird!" and David claiming that "1979 was the year that China invaded Vietnam". Oh yeah, and a Cyberman and K9 playing football and on swings. AND the Sycorax doing Bohemian Rhapsody! I'll upload them if people want 'em).
-Deleted Scenes (Great stuff! There's two brilliant ones, a scene from The Christmas Invasion where the Doctor tries to say "Fantastic!" but can't because "it doesn't fit the teeth" and a one from Doomsday where the Doctor considers fleeing from the Daleks. If anyone's interested in seeing them I'll upload it. There's 16 minutes of deleted scenes, to be exact).
-Doctor Who Confidentials: Cut Down (Why can't they just give us the originals!?)
-Bille Piper Video Diaries
-David Tennant Video Diaries
-The Children In Need Special (Yes it is without the audience applause and the annoying phone number in the top left corner! Danny, let me know if you want to update the CIN special on the site and I'll extract this version for you).
-Commentaries (Most episodes have the normal audio commentary option but some such as Doomsday and The Christmas Invasion have "In Vision" commentary which is basically the same except with an annoying video in the bottom right corner of the screen).
Menus
I was REALLY disappointed here. After the innovative and original menu design (TARDIS console, opening vortex medley) we got with Season One's DVD set, I was expecting something good. However...it's exactly the same. The same menus, the same opening, even the same music (yes it still has the Season One closing theme as the intro! I may sound picky but it really bugged me). A great pity because the menus were a great feature for Series One and there was so much good incidental music to choose from in Series Two that reusing the old stuff seems a bit lazy.
Packaging
Last year we got a TARDIS box! Brilliant! This year..."Highly Collectible Lenticular Packaging". It's just a normal box with some 3D effect of the TARDIS in the Time Vortex on the front. On the plus side it as a cool Cyberman and Dalek X-Ray on the back.
So should you buy it? Hellz yeah! :D
