Not 106. I'm actually kind of annoyed about that report going so far in the news, because people are already saying they will feel let down if it's just a small amount of episodes. Even one episode is huge. And most likely the only way we will keep getting these is if we show support (as in this Itunes plan that is supposedly going to happen), instead of saying it's not good enough.

The rumor is that they're going to be releasing 9 episodes, almost the entirety of Enemy of the World and Web of Fear (one episode of Web of Fear is still missing, according to this rumor), to itunes, to sell. And down the line they may also have the last episode of the Tenth Planet.

Deborah Watling and Frazer Hines will be at this announcement, which makes it more likely that this is going to be about Web of Fear and Enemy of the World.

Man, I can remember the recons with the telecine stills of those scenes and the audio running over them, but seeing it in motion - wow. I never thought I'd see them.

These are both absolute classic stories, and cornerstones of the Patrick Troughton era.

I've always wanted to see more of this time because Victoria is such a unique companion, probably the only time the show managed to have a young female companion who was somewhat quaint and learning to cope, a daughter and sister figure (they also had this with Nyssa but it didn't work quite as well). This is also the only time the Doctor had two companions from the distant past (this led to a scene in Enemy where neither of them knew what a helicopter was).

And they're so young and full of such energy.

Mark Gatiss said at the press thing that Web of Fear was the ultimate Doctor Who story and the one he'd been waiting most of his life to get to see.

I don't have itunes but I'm going to get it to buy some of these. I know some are waiting for the DVD, but I'm not sure if I want that now, as it probably won't have any extra features. I'm sure that will be rereleased a few dozen times with more features.

There are rumors there might be more down the line. I hope so, but whether there are or not, this is such a huge find.

DVD covers.

    • You’d think he would’ve learned after the way Sprina took off.  I hope we get a proper Emma/Gio/Trina/Kai quad, as friends, romantic rivals, etc. In the few scenes that the four of them have had together, I felt like there was a natural chemistry between all of them, similar to the way that Cam/Spencer/Trina/Joss was, in the beginning.  And, it would be a lot better than all this stuff with Kai’s surgery. 
    • Hooray we made the exact same critique to Londonscribe!!!!!
    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him in the mags once FV clearly took a shine to him. Frank's priorities are bright and blazing in one color. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field or explore quads with both with very different people - Emma with a scheming young man (of color), Gio with possibly Trina or someone else, or even a boy. Then maybe put them back together, who knows. But of course none that will happen.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
