This seems an appropriate point to discuss the issue of spontaneous Human Combustion. Specifically, the fact that contemporary science seems to have proven that there is no such thing (i.e. it was on Mythbusters) and that any unexplained fire usually results from some form of ignition source which causes the human body to act like a wick.

I mention this because I don't like the Mutants very much but wanted to put something cheery in my post. So don't worry about internally combusting - cos you won't. But don't smoke in petrol stations. Or you might.

You're never alone here Smiley Having said that I don't like it, there is not a swimming pools chance in the library that I won't be buying it - so your powers of persuasion might see me come round to it Smiley

See, Chris and I are in the same addicts group. Dont want it, yet couldnt not buy it Tongue

I have found on second and third watch, many stories become better. Keys of Marinus and The War Machines are two that I love more and more with every watch, yet werent keen on to begin with

The War Machines - what is it about that strange - and probably quite rubbish - little story that just transfixes me. I think WOTAN has affected me in some way like he tried to do with DR WHO! But every time I watch it, it just gets better and better.

So perhaps I will be saying this about the Mutants or the Dominators in time to come?

The Dominators. I so wanted to love it, but it was the hardest serial to watch of all time.

The last few release covers have been done brilliantly. This seems a bit plain in comparison. Still decent though

I really really really want to enjoy this one, but....

What I will say is the extras sound interesting - i've been dying to see James Acheson interviewed for ages. He won an oscar for Titanic apparently...

This isnt the greatest of stories, but it should be worth it for the bonus features if nothing else
