Welcome to Gaia! ::

Survival is one of the better Sylvester McCoy stories.

Before watching this I never thought that Anthony Ainley was very good as the Master but his performance in this was great.

The story was a mixture of modern (80's) and classic sci-fi what with the cheetah people and the planet looking like better versions of something you'd find from the 60's (although, come to think of it, the former wasn't all that much better than what they could do 20 years earlier).

And there's a lot of special features on the DVD, if anyone besides me actually bothers to watch them...

Resurrecting the thread - it looks like the Beeb are doing one 7th Doctor release a year, just to keep me sweet wink

This year it was "Battlefield", which I have just watched in its feature-length edition. I rather enjoyed it, but then I always enjoyed the novelisation. Mind you, I've been reading the New Adventures one after the other (up to "St Anthony's Fire" so far and it occurs to me that I almost prefer the NA Ace to her original incarnation. I must be getting old...
