Despite my reservations (see below), the team have done their usual thorough job on the dvd reissue and I'm delighted the Victoria Wood parody is thrown in.

Overall Greatest Show is proving once again considerably more popular with fans than Paradise Towers (hard for it to be less popular) and once again I hope there are new viewers out there who'll approach it with a fresh mind and enjoy it.

This is my favourite review so far from Amazon:

"I am a long-standing Doctor Who fan, but this story (together with 'Delta & the Bannermen') is absolute and complete twaddle that is an embarrassment to the illustrious history of the programme. Terrible scripts, awful story - it would make a poor attempt at a pantomime.Even the production quality is dire, with terribly unbalanced sound and over-bearing incidental music.It needs to be locked in a time loop. I only bought it to maintain a full collection."

This has attracted a supportive comment:

"I couldn't agree with you more, as I mentioned in my previous reviews both the Colin Baker and Slyvester McCoy eras where a load of rubbish. I saw two episode of this so-called drival at a so-called friend's house, and said what a load of rubbish and it was."

P.S. Stephen's new novel BIG DIPPER has just been published by Endeavour Press.
