It kind of goes without saying, but that is the most beautiful Season 8 has looked for a long, long time. Can't wait to finally get this set! I won't be able to get it until the end of May, but still... Super excited for it!

I won't be able to get it until the end of May, but still... Super excited for it! Ditto. Terror of the Autons, in particular, with its rough life of its print restoration looks fabulous. I'm really excited to see how the Keller Machine fares in Blu-ray quality.

The footage looks great, beautiful work by the Restoration Team and I can’t wait for my set to arrive and get stuck in.
The actual structure of the trailer was a bit odd, I thought; it sort of builds up and then ends. I think it’s the music that made me feel that way!

When I am King of Yorkshire Tea or Emperor of Cadbury the first thing I’ll implement will be a Doctor Who promotion like this; cards and short stories galore.

Looks like Zavvi is about to ship my copy of Series 8 and I’m pretty happy. Now back to trying find a e-tail that will ship the next set to the colonies.

A parcel arrived with a label reading 'I am usually known as Season 8.'
And you know what? BOTH bluray players are simultaneously bust.
On the PC, it will write and read data blurays but not play commercial disks - and the one attached to our TV has begun turning itself off at random intervals. I'm starting to suspect something has got into in the plastic... Time for a bit more shopping, sigh. But it's in a very good cause!

If there are any daffodils in the house I'd give them a wide berth if I were you....😟

Sorry to hear it 13 - on the bright side though, at least this didn't happen with a set from one of the better Doctors. That'd be really annoying! *runs* (And my set didn't come.... - can't believe Zoom let me down at the end, with the amount of people I've turned onto them over the years...)

Naturally it didn't happen because it couldn't. There are no better Doctors. (Any flying stone gargoyles which turn up at an inconvenient moment will have absolutely nothing to do with me...)
Hope your set is just delayed in the vortex and materialises very soon.

Hope you manage to get one was worried myself due to the recent change of zoom. Will be missed.

Went straight for the bonus disc.
I’ve met Katy Manning many times now and she’s never less than a delight and always telling stories, but her In Conversation wasn’t a repeat of those signings or conventions. Really insightful, plenty of name dropping, funny, cheeky and downright naughty at times. I love her attitude to life.
Terrance & Me is just a wonderful outpouring for the great man. Lovingly presented by Frank Skinner and plenty of contributions with their own stories to tell. Terrance’s sons are spitting images of him. I wouldn’t want to be the one emptying his house!

Zoom email alert: anyone who ordered Season 8 from Zoom and has heard nothing, check your online email "junk" folder. My copy arrived unannounced and I thought that was a bit odd, then...
I happened to be looking for another commercial email today and found it and a couple of others, including the mid-February email from Zoom saying when my copy of Season 8 would be sent, all stuck in the online spam box. All were emails from retailers I use and from whom I've had plenty of emails before, no problem.
Someone has clearly been over-tweaking the spam filtering algorithms and at a guess "caught" high-volume posts simply for being sent in large numbers at once , so check your spam.
