"Doctor Who: Dalek War" -- A Slice of SciFi DVD Review
March 17, 2010 By Leave a Comment
For a variety of reasons, releases of Jon Pertwee era "Doctor Who" stories have been few and far between of late. Part of this is due to the fact that many of the remaining stories require a lot of work to get up to DVD standards. But with the end in sight for the release of classic "Doctor Who" on DVD, it appears the dam may be getting ready to burst when it comes to the third Doctor's era getting equal representation on DVD.
That is certainly the case of the United States where we'll get at least four Pertwee stories in the first several months of 2010. Later this year, we'll get the "Peladon" stories and earlier this month saw the U.S. release of the Dalek War box set.

Copy right issues kept the DVD release from using certain musical cues within the program and there were issues with some of the effects sequences in the initial releases. Also as one of the first in the range, the extras were a tad bit lacking in comparison to what we get today, consisting of just a commentary and a few cut scenes.
