It’s still a joy to have this feeling of excitement if I’d known it was going to be so Christmasesque I’d have eaten myself into a chocolate stupor in support of the rather giddy presents about to be proffered (even though we have to pay for them ourselves, thanks Auntie Beeb)

 

Oooooooo, an hour and a hauf!

I must put in here that by ‘restoration’ I include the extras and the suchlike.

It’s exciting isn’t it?

My thoughts, incessantly based on pure, luxurious speculation is that the downloads will be hugely beneficial in funding for the restoration of the eventual DVD release and also this way you can make a media event of the finding of missing episodes and sate people’s desire to have it there and then.

Makes sense.

Oh, hello. I’ve been posting away and forgot to say hello. Hello. Oh I’ve done that twice now, still better safe than sorry I suppose.

I’ve been a fan for such a long time (30+years and counting) and when I was young the allure of those unseen early episodes was overwhelming! When I saw An Unearthly Child for the first time in the Five Faces of Doctor Who repeat season I was amazed and utterly thrilled. It seemed like a totally different programme, all the elements were there and I’d seen pictures of William Hartnell but was shocked at how serious he seemed. Time hasn’t changed much, I’m still feeling thrilled at the thought of seeing these stories that had passed into the ether before I could grasp them.

I hope I can download them tonight and revel in the Hartnell or Troughton glory.

There is a reveal of sorts on the Digital Spy Doctor Who forum, of course it could be pig dribble so I’m happily awaiting midnight. I even have a bottle of fizzy to drink finding out (although to be honest as I’m not at work tomorrow I would’ve probably had a bottle kicking about anyway)

I’m still delighted to see any episodes back, but the idea of possibly having full stories for many of us to see for the first time is a spine tinglingly glorious thought.

BRING them on!
