Agree with both the stories, but I'd hardly call them 'lost', as in can
no longer be enjoyed. I've pretty much got the whole of the sixties era
on CD now and they seem as real and as present as anything you need a
telly for.

I'm looking forward to when this is announced as a DVD release - I loved
it as a Target novelisation when I was a kid, I loved it as an early
teen when it was released and I'll love it when it comes out on DVD
hopefully within a couple of years.

The Pertwee era is one for which I tend to enjoy all roughly the same,
so it's hard for me to pick out a favourite. If I were to have only one
Pertwee DVD though I'd go for Spearhead From Space, purely for early VHS
nostalgia reasons.

I'd choose Robots of Death for pretty much the same reason as Spearhead.
One of these days I'd like to see the old logo used at the start of
those very early videos as an Easter Egg.

By a country mile, yes, though to my surprise I found The Visitation
very enjoyable a week or two ago.

And, alongside the already mentioned Androzani, comprises the back
catalogue of DrWho stories by season 2 director Graeme Harper.

Greatest Show would be a worthy release for 2006, i think. I didn't like
it much when it was shown on telly, but reappraising it five years later
it became a favourite.

Go for the Big Finish audios instead, just off the top of my head try
out The Stones of Venice, INvaders from Mars, Seasons of Fear, and
Embrace the Darkness. The Last is also very good, the Terror Firma is
out in a month or two.
