Hi Jason. ‘The Last Days of Jack Sparks’ is genius - I admittedly did judge it by the cover and title abs thought “oh, ok, a Doctor Who fan author has created his own eccentric hero, ho hum” - how wrong I was. My idiotic presumptions gave way to reading a novel that taps into the genre of “gimmick/quest” books, found footage and even the whole question of celebrity (something, especially Whovians, embrace and detest in turns at every second!) Genius! Loved it!
Hey there! What a wonderful comment. Thank you. :) So glad you liked Sparks. Perhaps you might like to check out my latest novel Ghoster, which was released in October. :) www.jasonarnopp.com/ghoster
I can confirm that the Stripped For Action documentaries were on the DVDs as well. Loved them, they were excellent especially the Eighth Doctor one on the TV Movie Special Edition.
Btw, every story is a classic but fenric is perfection. A template for the new series and so well directed and nothing embarrassing in it at all.. score is so destructive and it channels John carpenters the fog ! Parsons shows he can act!! A beautiful performance. Politics and heavy topics elegantly handled.. a real template for the new series but better
The original has nostalgia for me but the vid does too! The best is the extended cut! The new scenes like Phyllis and jean confronting the vicar in the graveyard with new Ayers music are very effective and McCoy’s ‘GO!’ In that scene is spine tingling
Yes, it’s outstanding! It elevates a fantastic piece of television to a new height. No superfluous stuff. What is added is seamless and adds more character depth and fear. Just sublime tv.
Great stuff - working my through the season 10 set now. BTW, on reading DWM 411 (yes, i am that far behind lol, but have all the issues - from DWW1 in 1979, when i was 12 - to the latest, i just got behind with my reading) and love your Tom Baker interview, especially asking him about telling Matthew Waterhouse to `piss off' etc. Made a change from the same old questions and comments. Anyway, love this video and hope season 1 is out later this year.
Hi there! Thank you. That's funny, that you're reading my Tom Baker interview, because last week I turned the whole two-issue interview into a PDF, complete with a short new foreword, and made it available to my Patreon patrons. :) They seem to be enjoying it. I'm very proud of that Tom Baker feature - surely my favourite journalistic job ever! Thanks for the kind words on it. :) P.S. Whoa, Season 1 - that would be cool.
OddBandicoot 96 Hey thanks! That’s great to hear, because I’ve recently started to question whether I’ve been making them too in-depth and consequently over-long!
Great video Jason only just subscribed can’t wait to get my copy. I always preordered them. For me difficult I think all of them are great stories. His strongest season 😀
Great in depth review, I LOVE that you went through each disc menu! The console room looks very atmospheric with the subdued lighting. I have pre-ordered this and can't wait to get it. Like others I love Fenric and Ghost Light but I also love Battlefield especially the feature length version. Thanks for the review Jason 👍👍👍
James Matthews Hi there James! I’m really glad that you and several other viewers are telling me you like the longer-form approach! I did wonder if i’d taken the whole thing too far 🤣 Thanks for watching and commenting!

Barry Pook Hi there Barry - thanks so much for subscribing and for this lovely comment. Means a lot to me when people enjoy the channel. Hope you enjoy maybe digging back through the playlists to see what else takes your fancy. Welcome! 🙂👌
As if I wasn't excited enough already! A great unboxing video, thank you. S26 is a personal highlight of DW for me, with Fenric and Ghost Light really shining.
You're very welcome, David! Glad you're liking the early coverage. This is certainly the earliest unboxing I've ever done. And why not? :) Hey, what's your favourite S26 serial, while I have you?
I'm so glad you made a 30m unboxing, too many people have quickly skipped over the unboxings in about 3 or 4 minutes. The set looks beautiful and I hope it doesn't take too long to get shipped to AUS.
BBC courier delivering complimentary DVDs? You’re a lucky boy! 😃 I’m undecided. I’m hoping these special edition collections might eventually be released as regular collections at a reduced price. At least it’s the best McCoy season. Fenric and Ghostlight are the stand-outs. I’ve got Fenric extended special edition on an old standard DVD, and it’s my favourite of the two
MightyJonE hey there sir! I can understand your position. It’s certainly unclear, at the moment, whether this content will ever see a re-release, although you can imagine that it will, in some shape or form.
I see they’re released in US without limited edition packaging, so thought maybe the same might eventually happen here. I ordered the next Baker Collection though, and still waiting for the re-release of Baker’s first - unless I missed it again
Hello there! That's an interesting point. I think it must be because the back-credits are for the regulars in each season. When Nicholas appeared in Battlefield, he was now a guest star. :)
The Yorkshire Time Lord Well, he was up until after Terror Of The Zygons, in terms of the big picture. But by Battlefield he was a guest star again. I’m only imagining this to have been the rationale, you understand. :)
Hi David! Ah, thanks, that's interesting. Makes sense too! That thing can't have been cheap! Will you be picking up the S26 set if you haven't already?
Hi, sorry if you cover this in the video - I must admit I somewhat skimmed it. I enjoyed what I saw of the review though ;) I was wondering if you could talk me through the differences between the 3 versions of Battlefield & Curse of Fenric, and which you'd recommend for a first viewing? I know the VHS version is extended but would you say these extra scenes enhance the story giving the 'definitive version', or would you say it rather seems it was deleted for a reason. Likewise, do you know what the Special Edition is?
Hi Benjamin! I'm afraid I haven't explored the different versions enough to give you an answer! But thanks for watching and commenting. :) And can anyone else offer their opinion to Benjamin?
I’m new to doctor who and I’m just getting started with the series 12 release, which I had to get from America because the scalpers on eBay are selling the uk sets plus other series from £500 or more. So the American sets are the best option for me. I know that series 12 is getting a rerelease sometime soon but with the other series get a rerelease?
Hi Gremlin84! Actually, at the moment, we have no idea whether the re-released Season 12 will be a different box design or not - we'll have to wait and see! Thanks for checking out the channel. Whenever official news come through on any of the box sets, I'll be doing my best to keep subscribers informed! :)
It sucks that we don't get those booklets in the US. I also wish the US sets put the actual seasons on them instead of separating them by actor. No idea which version of Curse of Fenric I've seen, but I watched it on Britbox. Which version is remastered the best?
Hi there Kaiju! Yes, it's such a shame that the US versions of these sets are stripped down. I can't offer an opinion, sadly, on the various versions of Fenric, but perhaps someone else here can. :) Anyone?
Wait I have a question, you know how basically they are trying to hopefully at some point get every classic season on the doctor who collection Blu Ray sets, if they completed season 4 with getting the smugglers, highlanders and evil of the daleks animated because the first two stories are with Whilliam Hartnell and the rest Patrick Troughton would they choose one of those Doctors to put on it or would they put both of them on the cover like the Lost In Time set but with the new style of art they've done with these sets? Apologies if I wasn't very good at describing my question but it's something that just popped into my mind
Ronan Cormack Hey there Ronan! No, I see what you mean, and thanks for posing the question! This is purely my own supposition, but I couldn’t see how this box set could have anything other than both Doctorly faces on the cover. Might prove to be a nice change/challenge for the artist Lee Binding! What do you think? 🙂👌
Cool ❤ my favourite Doctor, mostly due to the New Adventure novels. Im buying it now! Great video, the curse of fenric is amazing, i have the dvd not blu ray, hope it has great features.
Noooo you got your copy before me. I'm going to have to use who you use. I ordered mine on Amazon and it always comes on the day of release. Never before:(
This really will be THE collection to have. Trouble is I'll be broke by the time they've released them all. Nice video, looking forward to reciving my copy.
@@jarnopp It may not sound very origina to say this but my favourite has to be Curse of Fenric. Especially the special addition version. I thnk this was Silvester McCoy's best season and the first really good one for a long time. Ironic it was canceled after this.
@@Trev359 Fenric is certainly a popular choice! I remember it as having been my favourite of the season too. And yes, it definitely feels like Who went out with its head held high. Despite Hale & Pace. :D
I wish this particular one wasn't so expensive now. Just started collecting the limited editions, and I'm so mad at myself for not getting to them earlier! 😭 but I'm hopefully going to get my hands on season 14 in the coming weeks 🤞
@@ShameleonFactor Thank you. I really must give that serial another chance! It does, after all, have the Master in it and I'm a big fan of Anthony Ainley!
Thanks for another fine review! I appreciate the in-depth look at everything. This does look like a very nice set. Curse of Fenric has always been a favorite of mine and Ace is probably in my top 3 companions. Really not sure why this set is up for preorder in the US for $87.00 USD. That seems a bit high to me. Especially since it is the stripped down packaging. Maybe I should just start getting all of the UK releases. I do have a region free player...
Thanks for all the hard work reviewing it ! :) As a dvd/bluray collector these sets are everything I've always wanted from a doctor who boxset. Cant tell you how annoying bying incomplete sets is. For example i bought Prometheus (dont ask why) and tons of stuff was missing and you had to buy 3 different editions to get all the extra deleted stuff. I know some people moaned about the 3 different versions of battlefield and Fenric but I've always said if you have many versions of them and hours of archive stuff, then please let me have it all! So I'm really excited about season 26. I also love the studio footage, especially that its all of it an not 30 mins max like on dvds. As an actor I love watching how the show was made and the struggles of the clock deadline, earthshock was a highlight watching how quickly the cybermen performers had to learn the space walking up the stairs. So I'd love if talons has a full unedited hour or more studio or rehearsal footage that was shown on the dvds. Also destiny of the doctors game footage and the dr forever the virgin adventures special feature have been moved from this set leading to fans hoping for a wildness years set. So who knows. Great review cant wait to watch it, I wish I could give these sets to kid me I'd die of lack of sleep.
Hey there! Thanks very much, you're welcome. And yes, I love different versions of things myself! Wow, I somehow overlooked the Earthstock studio footage - must correct this! :)
Definitely worth it, such an incredible insight to the monster performances. Theres a very funny shot up the starts on the first take where they stumble, fall and wobble alot but slowly they learn the space and do a great shot at the end. Plus Beryl Reid moaning at the director Is a highlight too.
This week is gonna be a long week... waiting for this thing to arrive😀. I cant wait! By the way, I sent a message to you on patreon but I cant see if you've seen it?
Hello! In 1989, I was flying around the world being a rock journalist. I was in my late teens and had less interest in Doctor Who than before. Thanks for watching and commenting! What's your favourite S26 serial and why?
@@jarnopp Oh ok, Hello LOL. I think I liked The Curse of Fenric the most for that season, but jeez I have watched and listened to every classic episode so many times now :) I love em all
I'm assuming then that Search Out Science and the Destiny of the Doctors clips are MIA? That's sad. Those were my favourite bonus features from the Survival DVDs.
@@pferreira1983 Funnily enough, I did see someone very recently saying how the lack of Destiny Of The Doctors on this set could lend hope to the idea that.... hmm, something or other. Can't remember now!
@@lewiskent550 Ah, you mean the various extended editions of the serials? So far I've watched the Special Edition of Fenric, which was excellent and cinematic. As for any of the other extended editions - can anyone help Lewis here?
Jason. Love you man but you’ve gotta be careful when it comes to this Doctor Who lot, they get rather angry rather easily and I imagine they won’t take too kindly to how you tried to put the booklet back. EDIT: There’s technically a second making of on the Curse of Fenric on Disc 2 as an Easter Egg, but it’s mostly Mark Ayres showcasing himself putting together the new version.
Hello sir! Haha - weirdly, there has yet to be any leaflet-based outrage from the Doctor Who community. 🤣 How’d you mean, the Special Edition making of is an Easter egg? It’s right there on the menu screen, isn’t it? 🤔
DanTheMan 2150AD Ahhh, I see, cheers! So the Special Edition Making Of on this Blu-Ray set has previously been an Easter egg on the Fenric DVD, got it. 🙂👌
@@DanTheMan2150AD Interesting. So is it neither of these at this point in the unboxing video (Special Edition Featurette and Mark Ayres Interview)? ruclips.net/video/ED4Y6Moo73k/видео.html

Curse of Fenric has always been a favorite of mine and Ace is probably in my top 3 companions. Really not sure why this set is up for preorder in the US for $87.00 USD. That seems a bit high to me. Especially since it is the stripped down packaging. Maybe I should just start getting all of the UK releases. I do have a region free player...
Hey there, thank you for the kind words. And yes, c'monnn, you know you want them... 😀
A great unboxing vid
Hey, thanks JT! :)
Thanks for all the hard work reviewing it ! :)
As a dvd/bluray collector these sets are everything I've always wanted from a doctor who boxset. Cant tell you how annoying bying incomplete sets is. For example i bought Prometheus (dont ask why) and tons of stuff was missing and you had to buy 3 different editions to get all the extra deleted stuff. I know some people moaned about the 3 different versions of battlefield and Fenric but I've always said if you have many versions of them and hours of archive stuff, then please let me have it all! So I'm really excited about season 26. I also love the studio footage, especially that its all of it an not 30 mins max like on dvds. As an actor I love watching how the show was made and the struggles of the clock deadline, earthshock was a highlight watching how quickly the cybermen performers had to learn the space walking up the stairs. So I'd love if talons has a full unedited hour or more studio or rehearsal footage that was shown on the dvds.
Also destiny of the doctors game footage and the dr forever the virgin adventures special feature have been moved from this set leading to fans hoping for a wildness years set. So who knows.
Great review cant wait to watch it, I wish I could give these sets to kid me I'd die of lack of sleep.
Hey there! Thanks very much, you're welcome. And yes, I love different versions of things myself! Wow, I somehow overlooked the Earthstock studio footage - must correct this! :)
Definitely worth it, such an incredible insight to the monster performances. Theres a very funny shot up the starts on the first take where they stumble, fall and wobble alot but slowly they learn the space and do a great shot at the end. Plus Beryl Reid moaning at the director Is a highlight too.
@@DWepmodels Oh! Actually, Beryl does ring a bell. Maybe I did watch it after all. :D
This week is gonna be a long week... waiting for this thing to arrive😀. I cant wait! By the way, I sent a message to you on patreon but I cant see if you've seen it?
Custard_Timelord Hey there! I have indeed seen this message and it is an excellent one. 👌 Thank you. Will respond on Patreon soon!
The real question is, what do you think of survival? after having watched it again.
The Second Doctor aargh, I still haven’t revisited it, because I am a fool! Sorry! And thanks for watching and commenting! 😄👌
Jason Arnopp's Terrifying House Of Obsession You must confront it, it is the way of the jungle.
You didn't see it at broadcast ? WTF where were you? This was a time when Dr Who came back and then was suddenly taken away again :(
Hello! In 1989, I was flying around the world being a rock journalist. I was in my late teens and had less interest in Doctor Who than before. Thanks for watching and commenting! What's your favourite S26 serial and why?
@@jarnopp Oh ok, Hello LOL. I think I liked The Curse of Fenric the most for that season, but jeez I have watched and listened to every classic episode so many times now :) I love em all
@@northsouthy74 I'm glad to hear it. :) You've come to the right place. Hope you hang around for more!
Since when did you have the Season 12 set?
Dalek Emperor19 Hello! Since I borrowed it from my author friend John Higgs 😄
Jason Arnopp's Terrifying House Of Obsession you lucky bugger 😂
Dalek Emperor19 haha, yes. He must really trust me!
Scotty Bee you have 3 sets of Season 12? Why? There is no reason for you to have two extra ones
Scotty Bee don’t spend it and save it for other purchases, it’s really not that difficult to understand
I received mine today :)
Daniel Cox hi there Daniel - on Sunday? Nice! How are you liking it so far? 🙂
If Doctor Who hadn't been cancelled in 1989. I would love Sylvester McCoy to go on for an extra 3 seasons
Hey there Ben! I can understand that. 😊 👊
My copy arrived from Zoom this morning!
Cool! How are you likin' it?
I'm assuming then that Search Out Science and the Destiny of the Doctors clips are MIA? That's sad. Those were my favourite bonus features from the Survival DVDs.
Hi there! You may have commented on the wrong video. :) Easily done. But ah, that's interesting, thanks - will look into it.
@@jarnopp I don't think so. This is for Season 26 correct? Survival is part of Season 26.
@@pferreira1983 Ah yes! That's so weird - RUclips initially showed me your comment against the Season 14 announcement video. :D
@@jarnopp I mean it's not like those extras could be moved to another set right?
@@pferreira1983 Funnily enough, I did see someone very recently saying how the lack of Destiny Of The Doctors on this set could lend hope to the idea that.... hmm, something or other. Can't remember now!
I have a question
Hey there Lewis. :) Feel free to go ahead and ask!
are the extended scenes good
@@lewiskent550 Ah, you mean the various extended editions of the serials? So far I've watched the Special Edition of Fenric, which was excellent and cinematic. As for any of the other extended editions - can anyone help Lewis here?
What episodes have extended sences
Jason. Love you man but you’ve gotta be careful when it comes to this Doctor Who lot, they get rather angry rather easily and I imagine they won’t take too kindly to how you tried to put the booklet back.
EDIT: There’s technically a second making of on the Curse of Fenric on Disc 2 as an Easter Egg, but it’s mostly Mark Ayres showcasing himself putting together the new version.
Hello sir! Haha - weirdly, there has yet to be any leaflet-based outrage from the Doctor Who community. 🤣 How’d you mean, the Special Edition making of is an Easter egg? It’s right there on the menu screen, isn’t it? 🤔
Jason Arnopp's Terrifying House Of Obsession sorry I should have been clearer, I meant on the DVD release.
DanTheMan 2150AD Ahhh, I see, cheers! So the Special Edition Making Of on this Blu-Ray set has previously been an Easter egg on the Fenric DVD, got it. 🙂👌
Jason Arnopp's Terrifying House Of Obsession no no, it’s a different making of. Kinda more like a behind the scenes.
@@DanTheMan2150AD Interesting. So is it neither of these at this point in the unboxing video (Special Edition Featurette and Mark Ayres Interview)? ruclips.net/video/ED4Y6Moo73k/видео.html
Niiiiiiimmmmmmoooooonnnnnn!
Oh, how I love those horned beasts!
