Thanks I'll update the OP soon

So the Zygons drink the milk of "Nessie" or did I misunderstand something?

I'm somewhat glad that we're leaving UNIT behind after the "The Android Invasion". I enjoyed the banter between Three and the Brig, but I'm happy to get something new with the 4th Doctor.

And I have to show my ID-card to the postman again, because the English DVDs don't have the German rating system. I was circumventing that by ordering from amazon.uk via amazon.de and they've so neatly just put them in my letterbox, but now they've closed that gap. I wish I could just buy the classic stuff on a streaming site. (Some of the later stuff is on amazon and itunes, though, looking forward to that. - Not to mention that I don't have any shelf space left for all these DVDs. I have the whole Pertwee era and some more.)

I'm not sure and I'm sure unit comes back .

Why did you need to show your id??

Waldfrau

I've been ordering the DVDs via the German amazon webpage and it doesn't know the British DVDs have a PG-rating, because they're not translated into German.

When I streamed S11 of new Who before it was translated I had to enter my id number and set up a safety code. At first this confused me, because the first ep that happened to me was "The Tsuranga Conundrum" and I could not figure out why it wasn't suitable for 12-year olds.

I think I just order a whole season of DVDs so they come in one package hopefully. It gets better after Season 17. Then some stuff is translated and available on streaming sites.

I've watched "Planet of Evil", "The Pyramids of Mars" and "The Android Invasion". Good stuff there, I see why the Tom Baker era is so popular.

Ohh they do that ?? So odd

Just watched "The Brain of Morbius". Kind of Frankenstein, isn't it?

There was a short documentary on the DVD about how it was made. Apparently some people complained about it being too much horror. I think it's much less scary than some new Who stuff, but the scene with the brain falling to the floor and being picked up again is somewhat yucky. Shouldn't Morbius have a major concussion after that?

Summer Falls

was it to much horror for that time , i never thought of doctor who as that scary

Waldfrau

I think it was a bit more than the previous episodes of the years before. The second Doctor had some scary scenes though.

Just watched that one:



I'm not that impressed with the ep, but love the "second console room".



The DVD also had a documentary from 2009 about the evolution of the tardis.

Summer Falls

oh his console room looks nice

Waldfrau

Just watching "The Deadly Assassin" - what a timelord costum feast!

The Master doesn't look very healthy though.

Summer Falls

Was the actor sick?

Waldfrau

I hope it's just the mask and not his real face.

Summer Falls

oh wow

Waldfrau

Watched these:







I think "Horror of Fang Rock" is especially good, but I enjoyed all three.
