Upcoming "Doctor Who" Release

[Kenneth Morgan]

It's been a while since I've posted here, so I hope you don't mind that I'm returning with a potentially volatile subject.

I saw on Amazon yesterday that the McGann movie is finally getting a Region 1 release on Feb. 8, 2011. All I know beyond that is that it's a two-disc set, so I figure there should be a fair amount of extras.

Personally, I'm looking forward to this one. I've been a fan of the McGann movie since it was first shown. Your opinion?

The set itself is a pretty good example of what the Resoration Team does with each Who release these days. The set we are getting here is the second release Europe has gotten and the re-issue is a definite upgrade over the previous release. As for the movie itself, it isn't terrible and McGann makes a good Doctor who got great later on in the Big Finish audio dramas. The main problem with the movie is of course the retro-con they tried to do with the Doctor's origin. Thankfully that part has been ignored while the 8th Doctor himself has not.

Meh, that retcon has always been easy to write off as a joke on the Doctor's part given the context. Plus, we know have the Chameleon Arch to explain it as well
