Yikes just checked the prices, there usually isn’t any on but atm they have the seasons for 250 each! You could get like 3 mcgann boxset bundles for that price. The only time i ever think its okay to obtain media through alternative means is in situations like this, when something is literally unavailable. Its such a shame so much media is unobtainable by many because it oop or there a legal reason why. All those bbc and virgin doctor who books? Spend 10 times the rrp for it. Want to listen to some stargate audios? Sure, got a spare £200. Its so frustrating as someone who wants to experience these stories the only options are to pay someone selling them marked up from what they are worth or go other routes and neither option is great (not blaming bf or anyone i know things like this happen but still, in the 21st century with so many streaming services and ways to access media, the fact there is still books and tv shows and audios that aren't easily accessible is just strange) About ten days ago all three series appeared on Ebay, individually priced at £9.99 each. I did my homework, worked out what I thought was a reasonable price for each one factoring in the Christmas bonus I was due to receive, added a bit extra and stuck my maximum bid in. This afternoon I watched my entire buying strategy go up in flames. Annoyingly I suspect some of those titles will reappear at a later date either on Ebay or Amazon at hyper inflated prices (Amazon seller prices are something else). And yes, currently I have on the watch list the seller who is advertising all three series for a wallet gouging £750. Hell would have to freeze over first before I pay that, but curiosity is making wonder who will break first - the seller or a potential buyer.. I think you have to think seriously about WANT and NEED lol when you see those types of prices there will though always be collectors of these things and if someone wants to pay that kind of price it is their money lol... just looking at some of the regular CDs that are out of print and their prices on eBay has sometimes made my eyes water but goes to show physical media still has a place 😂

Hell would have to freeze over first before I pay that, but curiosity is making wonder who will break first - the seller or a potential buyer.. At a tenner apiece they are a good buy even if used, but that's the downside with bids as opposed to fixed price 'buy now' sales - there's always the collectors or traders who must have it. I noted on here a few months ago there was an online lockdown auction of a Doctor Who fans (deceased presumably) entire collection of about 70 lettuce trays, often randomly sorted, estimated way below value, even though you could only bid by the tray, often with a lot of low value stuff most people like me have already. Many trays still went for up to £500 each (Blu-rays, virgin novels and annuals), about 10 times the auction house estimates. I think the whole lot went for 10k despite a lot of VHS trays going for a fiver a time. £500 was a lot if in the case of collectors, they may be after just a few items in each box, so I suspect traders cleaned up that day. Sapphire and Steel is very good, but unless I was seeking to complete the set with just a couple of releases, I would not go higher than £15 a title, myself. Maybe £25 if it was just one missing...

Movies don't use sugar glass anymore for props - instead, it's something called breakaway glass, which is made of plastic resin.

That Marvel considered Red Hulk making an appearance in either Civil War or Infinity War.
Very glad they didn’t go this direction. Would be interesting if it was used for a solo Hulk film if only to explore the relationship between him and Big Green but I think having him there really wouldn’t have added anything.

Out of all the potential of the MCU The Hulk was severely wasted

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

This week, but still: my boss told me that I keep getting handed big events at work because she thinks I have good organisational skills.
Here’s an example of them: I got up to walk the dog this morning and I couldn’t find my keys. I put my headphones down while I looked for them, found them after some frantic searching (I put them in the cupboard with the lead after last night’s walk) then had to spend another couple of minutes trying to find where I’d put the headphones.

Yeah, I think he came from and went back to musical theatre before and after his truly big break in the 60s. Of course he was Paul McCartney's grandad so it runs in the family

This is kind of a cheat, but this past week I randomly learned browsing the internet that people with non disclosure agreements often have to lie about what projects they are working on because if they act cagey people will take it as an automatic yes. This is oddly comforting to me!😊

That anthropophagy refers to the act of consuming human flesh.
Honestly, the new words you pick up when listening to audio stories featuring the Sixth Doctor...
