Doctor Who: Peter Davison Season 3 was recently released in the US. In my latest video I look at the packaging & contents (which contain errors!) and compare it to the UK S21 Collection. I also give my overall thoughts on each story. Watch full video here: m.youtube.com/watch?v=IjL82r…

Doctor Who Season 3 (21) got released this week in the US. A standard plastic box, no slipcase, booklet or individual disc art, it’s nowhere near as nice as the UK release..plus they’ve incorrectly credited it as staring Elizabeth Sladen & Ian Marter on the back?! 💿

Very sad to hear that Anthony Head has passed away. I met him twice, once at the stage door and the second time whilst I was working in HMV..he came in asking for some help finding a CD..both times he was incredibly lovely. May he rest in peace x

Very sad to hear of the passing of Michael Keating, he was simply superb as Vila Restal in #Blakes7 and was always absolutely lovely, humorous and generous with his time whenever I was lucky enough to meet him at conventions. May he rest in peace 1947-2026 ❤️
