Cybermuck
Blimey, if there was a nagging feeling that BBC Enterprises was taking the p*ss this year, then this weeks news of upcoming 'Doctor Who' releases has gone some way to confirming that suspicion. 2010 has so far foisted the yawn-worthy 'Monster of Peladon' on us, and no, getting 'Curse of...' lumped in with it doesn't make it less of a bitter pill to swallow. We've also had the triple whammy of the 'Myths and Legends' boxset, with 'Creature from the Pit' arriving next month and 'Time and the Rani' to follow on in September. Woot. Lest we forget 'The Kings Demons' will be along shortly, albeit accompanied by the actually quite bearable 'Planet of Fire'.
This week then, there was much rejoicing that added to that spectacularly crummy schedule are the two Cybermen stories that make 'Attack of...' seem like a work of utter genius, 'Revenge of the Cybermen' and 'Silver Nemesis'. While I was still trying to digest that news, proving that good things come in threes, was the announcement that 'The Dominators' was having supplementary material passed by the BBFC.
2011 had better be a vintage year for Who releases.
