Bringing the classic series to a new audience.
On the 2 July 2007, 2Entertain will release a special run of eight classic DVD's aimed at bringing classic Doctor Who to a new audience.
For a limited period, the DVD's will be available at a lower price to entice fans of the new series to try some of the Doctor's classic adventures.
The eight specially chosen titles will be:
* The Five Doctors
* Genesis of the Daleks
* Spearhead from Space
* Earthshock
* Remembrance of the Daleks
* The TV Movie
* The Hand of Fear
* Revelation of the Daleks
Each DVD is identical to the previously released version, but will come with a specially designed outer cardboard sleeve. |
From the beeb site.
A couple of strange things.
"Cardboard sleeves"? I'm having memories of the old WB cases :fear:
And none of the online retailers seem to have a clue and I can't find the new releases listed on any of the usual sites :blink: So, of course, we have no idea as to how "budget" these releases will be :rolleyes:
Actually, these are nothing special - they are identical to the original discs (with the same cover), however they're inside a cardboard slip-case with the new design.
Given how the point has been made to release these so they're more attractive to prospective buyers, I wonder if they're not distributing them to online vendors (since there would be no point), and instead just focussing on having them instore?
There's four there that even I might buy. Three of them I've previously had on VHS but I couldn't be arsed to upgrade as I'm not a big fan of the originals.
Depends on how low the price is.
