Holy Flaming Cow! Peladon Tales out now!
Coming in Jan in the place of The Kings Demons/ Planet of Fire!
So Steve Roberts says:
Apparently the boss-man has just confirmed on stage that the January release is in fact the two 'Peladon' stories, not the planned 'Planet of Fire / King's Demons'.
So now you know!

Twenty two episode of Pertwee in a row! Is the 'boss man' Steve Roberts talks about in fact Ralph.....?

Roberts sounds a bit peeved he found out this news at a convention!

Let's hope the baking of episode 3 was a success!

I hope so - otherwise part 3 might be cinders suspended in Spain. Or something.

We can only hope. We watched it last night and it looked pretty wretched really. Anything they can do will be a bonus. I wonder if they could use the old recolourising technology to do something with it?

I'm glad it's coming out but both stories are pretty wretched in my opinion. "Curse" was one of, if not the first video I got where I watched it and thought "Oh. This is a bit boring" rather than "Gollygoshwowallofdoctorwhoisamazing".

"Curse" is pretty wretched and "Monster" is even worse. With the news of "The Time Monster" in hot pursuit, and the marginally better "Planet of Fire" straight afterwards, next year is going to be a long haul for dull DVD releases.
A wise strategist would have spaced the Doctor Who stories out such that a canny spacing of great stories outweighed the odd duffer and made the overall quality seem almost uniformly great. Somehow, over the past few years 2e seem to have acheived the impossible and done the opposite!

'Curse' is going in the right direction but was made by a production team for whom dark corridors and flickering torches were a one-off, not a stock in trade, so it lacks that last bit of flair to push it the right way. 'Monster' probably sounded good at the pitch stage with all the political elements and fits in with the sense of the end of an era, but it tries to be cleverer than 'Curse' and makes the assumption that its audience will remember a story which happened two years before but won't remember any of the details.
Plus it has Roy Evans playing 'Miner' a year on from Bert in 'The Green Death'. Possibly the most unoriginal casting ever...

Curse is a thing of wonder and delight and would make my top 5 Pertwee stories easily.
Monster would make the bottom 5 without even trying - lets hope for lots of lovely extras to make it worth a boxset.Bazinga !

I know I take every oppotunity to slag off Monster, and it is objectively a poor story on virtually every level. And yet, perversely, I actually have a very fond memory of the last time I watched it, which was when I came home very late from work one Friday night, Zel and the baby (as she was then) were both already asleep, and I popped in the video while lounging on the settee in front of the fire. So bizarrely I'm quite happy to hear it's coming out on DVD.
I should probably see a therapist.

I have a soft spot for The Monster of Peladon, it was one of the first Pertwee stories I saw, taped from a late night UKGold broadcast by my gran. So I'm sticking up for it and look forward to having it on DVD

Is the peladon pendulum swinging back the other way? By 10th Jan maybe we'll all be in love with it!
Well, maybe...

Curse is great fun. We watched it on Friday night in fact and it remains one of my favourite Pertwees.

maybe for you but I'm sure there are going to be many people like me who are more then happy with The Time Monster and Peladon box set being released.

with almost 90 stories now released most of the popular stories are now out so it dose look like we are heading for the same situatiuon as with the VHS releases with all the unpopular stories being released last.

Although we still have "The Seeds of Doom", "Planet of the Spiders", "Greatest Show In The Galaxy", "Frontios" and a few others to come so plenty of good ones still to come.

Although I actually didn't, as I love "The Time Monster", it's just I know there are many out there who disagree.
Si.
