So then, it's Saturday. I've two days off work before going on holiday on Monday, and this little Pandora's Box (set) has arrived. One of my absolute favourites. Just to prove that it's not all good news, I've woken up with a bloody awful cold. I think the virus has attacked my nucleus.
Cannot wait to dive into this. Thank you, HMV.

Hope you feel better soon! At least Season 15 should take your mind off your cold.

Enjoy and get well soon bonehead! Jealous of the set arriving, HMV took payment on Tuesday but haven’t dispatched yet, which is a very rare miss for them. Can’t wait to get stuck in!

Having had to cancel my holiday due to illness (if anyone asks you if you'd like to be a diabetic, my advice is to politely refuse), I've been cheering myself up watching the Season 15 Behind The Sofa features, without which, these wonderful blu-ray sets wouldn't be as much fun. Once again they're a delight, with stars from the show genuinely enjoying each other's company and the selected episodes. Matthew Waterhouse is a fascinating character. He's charming and likeable, but all of a sudden, he'll slip in an observation like 'these stories are almost as good as the ones I was involved in' (or, from an earlier interview, 'Tegan and Nyssa weren't as interesting once Adric had left the show'), which are quite joltingly raw, and don't appear to be expressed with any humility.
Great viewing though, and somehow these 'commentaries' give me a new appreciation for the stories (not that they need it).

A small brown box stood on the step (of the house, not of the Panopticon) then shimmered and turned into an amazing blu-ray set of Season 15!!
(It's possible I may have opened the box, but why spoil a good story? )

I watched Season 15's Graham Williams' documentary. It's lovely. Everyone involved should be justly proud.

I think the details were always deliberately hazy until now. His poor family. I view his Doctor Who stories with extra poignancy now.

It was very brave of them to go on camera and talk about it they way they did. You have to respect them so much.

Probably a hefty season with a lot of stories to cover? So not S25 or S7? And from earlier tweets, plenty of contributors available to interview so presumably not one of the very early seasons, so by elimination I'm guessing S16 or S21. (I'm expecting S13 to be a very, very late release in the series on the grounds of keeping us interested in the Collection! As if we're not interested in getting our hands on every season in this excellent format!)
That ends my pointless speculation for today!

That ends my pointless speculation for today! I think it's going to be Second Doctor set. Don't ask me why, but I have a feeling Series 4 is going to be next. Almost 100% certain to be wrong!

On the grounds of what's now available as recovered episodes and animations, yes I'm expecting S4 very soon too. We urgently need a Troughton season to balance the cosmic forces on my Collection shelf. ('Aha! - All waiting for me were you?' )
But from the tweets Mark helpfully keeps us up to date with, I think a few seasons have been in preparation and somehow I think this one might be more modern, with loads of available background material. Time will tell...

"'The little fellow' is perfectly alright, thank you!"
It will indeed. I just have this nagging feeling ... we'll see what happens.
Whatever is released, I'll be very happy. I'm still knee-deep in Season 15 and enjoying it very much.
