Quite a juicy looking selection of extras. Could be a nostalgia rush for me!
Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

Wow, almost an entire episode's worth of deleted scenes from The Happiness Patrol (albeit probably a large portion of that running time will be bookends for the actual deleted bits themselves). And some interesting sounding extras, too: When Worlds Collide? The Doctor's Strange Love? Looks to be a fairly substantial set. Excellent!

23 minutes of deleted scenes- yet more proof that Andrew Cartmel wasn't very good at actually editing the scripts.
Is there a single story from his era that doesn't overrun hugely?

I think it was just the BBC who wern't very good at ordering 26 episode Doctor Who seasons.
Si.

I wonder how much of the extended scenes is just taken from raw studio footage as I believe a fair amount still exists from THP?

There was once a rumoured extended video release, so it must be all final edit stuff and not timecoded.

I'm a bit surprised by the Strange Love feature on Dragonfire. There was a time when it was the darling of Season 24!
Oooh, coconut macaroons!

Maybe it's because the story has fallen from grace in such a huge way since 1987?

I still like it best of season 24, possibly equal to Delta. Then PT & then TatR.

I quite enjoy Dragonfire but hate The Happiness Patrol. Its a story I really try to like but it always annoys me for no real good reason.

I like the addition of the big 'A'. Also, the way the outline of the large diamond intersects the underside of the 'A' is reminiscent of the good old Diamond Logo.

Wicked!
I so wish this was out before my birthday. I may have to make an exception to my "wait until it's cheap" rule for this release!
Oh and am I the only one who thinks "Ace Adventures" would be an awesome title for a spin-off series?!

Anything would be better than the 'Dorothy McShane Adventures'.
I'm excited about this release. So is Andrew Cartmel.Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!
