@David_Kitchen_ for me, it’s the only story that has been ‘transformed’ by a special edition. Others have had tweaks, sometimes for better or worse, but this… well it’s gone from being a top 50 story to top 20. Overall season 25 box set was exceptional, this my highlight.

@David_Kitchen_ … I also liked the additional scenes as it allowed me to believe in the various character relationships. Especially Ace & Susan Q who in broadcast version appear to have a sudden unexplained friendship. Also loved the cgi syrup added to the escaping kandyman…

@David_Kitchen_ hi Dave. Just listened to your Happiness Patrol Gin and T. Fun. I got quite emotional watching the special edition as I’d always loved the story but couldn’t show it to anyone as it looked so ‘small’. The new CGI world is just wonderful, and… (more to follow)

@PositivityWho Vervoids is a good yarn. Works well without the courtroom inserts. Mindwarp is decent too although a bit weird in that it didn’t all actually happen. I love the Ultimate Foe. It’s so surreal! Oh and special nod to the fabulous space station/tardis sfx - still amazing!

And occasionally showing him fluff a line. I think it’s just his association with Moore’s bond as to why they use his ‘vague’ impression. Maybe they thought a very lifelike impression would be tasteless?

@RealCOZZASAIDSO @David_Kitchen_ Hi. Every story has a special edition, with mostly well designed and in some cases really quite impressive new sfx, plus added scenes and improved sound. Silver nemesis actually has two special editions, one being a cut down omnibus. So much love and work has gone into it.

@Astrozombies777 I love Harry. Wish he’d done more. But actually what I really really love is Harry and Sarah Jane together!

@David_Kitchen_ I probably should have liked Babylon 5. But when it came out I couldn’t get beyond how awful the effects were (early days of cgi space fx even worse than they are now). Which given I love classic Who, with its production flaws is hard to explain!

@58Yvonne Thank you. If you could now distribute that to our half million or so viewers that would help hahaha :-)

Did you know Doctors are being urged to stop prescribing blue (salbutamol) inhalers to millions of asthmatics in the UK due to their environmental impact and limited effectiveness. If this impacts you, and you’re happy to talk on camera for @ITVCentral let me know!

@Lurccio Yes! Upstart Crow! That made a huge difference to me! Made me realise I’m not stupid, just some of the way Bill S wrote things was… let’s say occasionally convoluted! Brilliant of course, but it doesn’t all have to make perfect sense!
