"Nice to meet you, Rose. Run for your life!"

So settiai started uploading Doctor Who episodes, bless her soul, and I managed to get "Rose" working on my computer. (When I say "working", I mean that the sound was about ten seconds ahead of the image, but never mind that.) The next few eps promptly refused to play, so I coaxed axa into downloading them and letting me see them at her place. The resulting ( Read more... )

Hee. I'll have you know that it was your gleeful references to Press Gang in this journal that convinced me to spend $30 on the DVD of the first series recently. Have enjoyed it muchly, so thank you. Kenny is a sweetie, and I adore Lynda.

YES! Yes yes yes! *dances around* It's really much too delightful a show to be forgotten. And Lynda is fabulous.

The only thing that pisses me off about the DVD is that there's so little extra material - season 2 is the only one with commentary and interviews, the others just have pdfs or nothing at all.

~admires icon muchly~

The DVDs we get here, Season 2 has a behind-the-scenes feature of rather appalling quality, and nothing else has anything at all (I bought it last night and watched it straight through--I'm comfort-buying, and DVDs are better than jonk food). Although we are apparently supposed to be getting a box set out with some more in the way of extras...

Bleh. If that isn't a way of squeezing more money out of the customers, I don't know what is.

My s2 DVDs has a few commentaries with Steven and Julia. Unfortunately Julia has pretend amnesia and only remembers everything that has to do with kissing Dexter; it gets kind of tedious after a while. But Steven is wonderful. My favourite line of his during the commentaries was (from memory), "This episodes got a BAFTA. Well, a children's BAFTA, which is just like a regular BAFTA except that when you squeeze it, it goes 'eek'."

My thought exactly.

I imagine it would. I'd like to hear the commentaries, though, for the Steven Moffat contributions...
