Dr Who DVD release
Paradise Towers is apparently finally scheduled for release in 2011. I have recently given an interview which will be used to accompany the release. I've also contributed to a running commentary which will be available as another add-on.
Thanks for comments. Richard Briers, Howard Cooke and Andrew Cartmel were I believe among those interviewed for the documentary.
The commentary I did with Mark Ayres, Judy Cornwell and Dick Mills, the guy responsible for the special sound effects.
Re Greatest Show in the Galaxy. No news yet of a DVD release though I'm told one is planned "in the next couple of years."
Re the music for PARADISE TOWERS. My understanding is that the DVD will offering a choice of hearing Keff's score or the original one which his replaced.
Re dates. I wish I knew when the PARADISE TOWERS dvd will be released. We've done the interviews and the commentary so hopefully it'll happen sometime within the next twelve months. I'm assuming that having done the research (and paid out modest sums of money) the powers that be won't let it sit on the shelves forever.

Great news! Who else is on the commentary?
awsome - one of my favourite stories from when I was growing up - loved it!
so when is greatest show in the galaxy coming out? i really like that one and I think its the best of the McCoy era.
YES! Greatest Show is also one of the most scariest ever made, imho! Amazing! OK, Blink and Silence in the Library were pretty scary too, but I think it's the clowns... they scared the s*it out of me!
Paradise Towers has always been my favorite story from both the classic series and the new series combined, so I've been waiting for this news for a long time. Glad to hear that the long wait for a DVD release is almost over. :)
Will there be an isolated music option on the DVD? I hope so, I love Keff's score to Paradise Towers!
Can't wait for its release.
Fantastic, great news! My favourite Doctor Who episode ever! Do you have any idea what time approximately in 2011 it will be released? I can't wait!
Ooh brilliant! I hear the original score was dropped because it was too repetitive, would be interesting to hear it though! I can't imagine it was as 80s as Keff's was!
Thank you very much for the reply.
