Doctor Doctor (1989)
Doctor Doctor on DVD?
Currently, I am a film school graduate who works as a courier in between film jobs. Not long ago, I made a delivery to one of the execs at Sony Pictures Home Entertainment who had a bunch of TV series DVD's on his desk and mentioned that I'd really like to see "Doctor Doctor" on DVD. I mentioned the rabid fan base of the show, and how they tried to cancel it three times in three seasons, yet the show went on. He wasn't sure if it was one of their properties. That night, I did some net research, and found that yes, they do own it! I called that exec the next day and told him about it, and he said he would pass the info on to the right people to pursue it. So voilà everyone, Doctor Doctor Season One may yet be forthcoming on DVD! The long wait may be over soon!
The Tomorrow People (1973)
It had been so long...
My memory of the show was completely buried from when I had seen it on Nickelodeon when I was a kid. Then I saw mention of it somewhere not long ago, and it all came rushing back to me, memories of what had been my favorite TV show at the time. That prompted some searching, and as a result, I am the proud owner of the first two seasons of The Tommorow People on DVD, which I ordered from Blackstar in the U.K. Watching it was quite an experience, being torn between thinking "this is so cheesy" and "this is absolutely brilliant". As I found watching the commentary, I wasn't the only one. Featuring Nicholas Young (John), Peter Vaughn-Clarke (Stephen), and Philip Gilbert (the voice of Tim), they made what I thought was going to be a technical commentary into a hilarious inside look at the making of the show, which they obviously thought was as cheesy and brilliant as I did. Everyone thinking of getting the DVD's should watch it. This is especially easy as the DVD's you order from the U.K. are Region 0, which means they can be watched all over the world (don't be fooled by blackstar.co.uk or amazon.co.uk when they mark them as Region 2 on the websites, they are all Region 0). Well worth the money for anyone who remembers the show and wants to take a stroll down memory lane.
