PARADISE TOWERS BLURAY

Very touched by the many favourable comments I've received about Paradise Towers after its release on bluray. Hard to remember now the time when PT was often voted one of the Worst Dr Who Stories Ever. My favourite among many generous comments is this from Guy Lambert on Twitter:

Finished Paradise Towers on Blu-ray, and I think did an exceptional job. It’s a story where you can FEEL the writer’s voice in every scene, character and decision. Bonkers, perceptive and an unforgettable ride. 1987 has never felt so glorious and ice hot! #DoctorWho
