Here in the mountains the local PBS station would show them either at 5:30 during the week (individual episodes) or at 2:00 on Saturday afternoons (the entire story arc). Talk about some nerdy, sci-fi goodness. My favorites (just like everybody) were the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gallifreyone.com\/epguide-dw4.php\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Tom Baker <\/strong><\/a> episodes. I also really liked the ones that had <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gallifreyone.com\/epguide-dw3.php\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Jon Pertwee<\/strong><\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gallifreyone.com\/epguide-dw5.php\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Peter Davison<\/strong><\/a>. The BBC has been putting Dr. Who out for years on vhs and I just never have committed to getting them because the tape price tag was always $20.00 or more. Well, now they are being released on dvd, and I can kinda get behind buying them since most have extras like commentaries, documentaries and the like. They still ain&#8217;t cheap though with the prices being anywhere from $19.99 up depending on the story and the extras. Well, last night I decided to cheer myself and picked up &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gallifreyone.com\/episode.php?id=4s\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>The Talons of Weng-Chiang<\/strong><\/a>.&#8221; It&#8217;s a two disc set with lots of goodies and a steep cost of $27.99. Now, I am not complaining about the price. If that were the case I wouldn&#8217;t have bought it in the first place. What bugs me is that there is no insert &#8230; just the two discs and the case. I was given a copy of &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gallifreyone.com\/episode.php?id=4r\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>The Robots of Death<\/strong><\/a>&#8221; for my birthday and it had no insert either. Grrrr. That really bugs me! If the disc was $9.99 I can get behind no printed material inside &#8230; that&#8217;s the way the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mgm.com\/midnitemovies\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>MGM Midnite Movie Series<\/strong><\/a> is &#8230; and that&#8217;s fine. It just seems like <a href=\"http:\/\/store.warnervideo.com\/whv.product.list.asp?frompage=dvd_tv&#038;keyword=Doctor+Who\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>BBC\/Warner Home Video<\/strong><\/a> would take a little more care with such a cult favorite like Dr. Who &#8230; especially when the discs cost top dollar.
