But the question is, will it be in a boxset, or will 2|entertain pull the stupidest stunt ever and make it a standalone release?

Also, will Mark Strickson be on the commentary?

[Si Hunt]

It wouldn't be THAT stupid if it was a standalone story - the three stories were aired perfectly seperately, it's only fans in hindsight that have termed it a trilogy. And they came out individually on VHS.

The only ones who benefit from box sets really are 2-entertain, who then get to release three stories in one go and take more money from each individual purchase (the age-old retail trick of 'three for the price of two'), so it'd only be stupid for them if it came out on its own really.

Sorry, Si, but I don't follow your logic here at all. The three stories were written as a set of three, carry a whole sub-plot throughout, aired one after the other, and released individually but in order and consecutively on video. How does this set of stories not qualify as a trilogy? They're more tightly linked than the E-space trilogy, certainly (one of which was written long before the idea of e-space ever came up, and one of which isn't set in e-space at all).

But I like box-sets.

[Si Hunt]

I like getting the stories sooner and getting the value for money. I don't like having to put the cardboard slipcases in a drawer!

You put them in a draw? I can't be bothered having them on the shelf in order, the box sets together look quite attractive anyway (not in a weird sexual way).

[Jon Masters]

Burn the heretic !!

My dislike of boxsets is that it takes a lot longer for them to reach a reasonable price.

I put mine in a drawer too!

Actually, all my DW DVDs are in a drawer, but the box-set slip covers are in a different part of the drawer to the DVD cases...

Why do I now have this image of you rummaging through your drawers whenever you want a bit of entertainment?

[Si Hunt]

They need to be in order on the shelf, and I think we should all frown heavily on Pip for saying otherwise.

Si.

[Matthew T]

I chuck the boxes away when I get them, but I feel bad when I do it.

[Si Hunt]

It always feels somehow more decent to just shove them in a drawer with Pip's unfinished "Daleks Masterplan" recon and forget about them.

Si.

[Pip Madeley]

That was a dagger through my heart!

(it'll be finished for Christmas - Feast of Steven killed all my enthusiasm for the project)

[Si Hunt]

They'll finish "Devious" sooner!

Si.

[Pip Madeley]

I think there's more chance of them finishing "Shada"...

[Dirk Gently]

I put my DVD's in order on the shelf & use the cardboard slip cases to keep one of the stories that is associated with the slip case stays & the next stories in order fill the slip case spaces if necessary.


How can I get hold of Pip Productions DVD recons? And how much will it cost me?

[Milky Tears]

I don't even put them on a shelf!

[Tom Simpson]

My box sets sit proudly on the top shelf along with my few Big Finish Audios.

[Pip Madeley]

I never knew I was in such a minority!

[Si Hunt]

Yer an outcast Madeley. AN OUTCAST!

Si.

[SiHart]

Chronological order for us, with the slipcases used- with stories put in that don't belong in the box where the sets aren't chronological to keep the flow! It's the only way!

[Larry]

Chronological order for us, Si xx

same with me starting with William Hartnell on the top shelf of my book case working it's way down as for the boxes I bin those .

despite these extras being cleared I personaly would be suprised to see it released this year and think it's more likely for a January 2010 release.

[Si Hunt]

Cunning Si, cunning!
