Speaking at the GallifreyOne convention in Los Angeles, Patrick Troughton's son Michael said that he had recently recorded a commentary on the life of his father to be included as a feature for The Ice Warriors. There are no details as yet over whether the incomplete story will be an individual DVD release or form part of a boxed set.
On the subject of incomplete stories, Nicholas Pegg reported on Twitter that he was "into the final furlong of the Shada DVD production subtitles, and still unearthing previously unknown trivia bombshells!«" Earlier he said: "Researching the full facts and events of the Shada cancellation for the DVD info text. It's awfully sad. They so nearly made it!«"
Ed Stradling has made the following appeal: "if any Doctor Who fans out there know the whereabouts of any of the original models from Terror of the Zygons, could you let me know? Thanks«"
Talking about the forthcoming The Face of Evil (out 5th March), Chris Chapman said on Twitter: 'Into the Wild' features an exclusive chat with the child voice of Xoanon, then-schoolboy Anthony Frieze! Yes, I can tell you are excited!« It also features Louise Jameson, Philip Hinchcliffe, Austin Ruddy, Mat Irvine and an archive interview with Pennant Roberts.« But the big star of the doco is Mat Irvine's AMAZING Tom Baker mountain face!«"
Chapman also discussed the documentary The Show Must Go On, to be included on the DVD of The Greatest Show in the Galaxy: "The guest line-up (Aldred, Wareing, Reddington, Laskey, Tucker, Cartmel and JNT archive) now has an added cameo from the Bus Conductor Robot!« Worth saying that the doco and commentary feature an almost completely different line-up of guests - virtually no crossover!« Doco is clocking in just over 30mins, which I think is our longest yet.« It includes the words 'doormat', 'rat-bucket' and 'I was a bit too male for that'« ... Fiddling on with our doco - one last scan through the 'studio' footage... looking for things that went wrong!« ... Just added a bit of swearing - will have to bleep that one out!«" Today, he added: "We're just finishing our Greatest Show doco - which is a great chance to say how flippin' brilliant Who was at that time!«".
The latest edition of Nothing at the End of the Lane reports that some 90 seconds of behind-the-scenes footage had been captured on 8mm film during the recording of Robot on location at Wood Norton Hall by an extra in the story, Roger Squires; the material may appear on a future DVD release.
DVD range producer Dan Hall updated Doctor Who Magazine on the status of the recently rediscovered episodes of Galaxy 4 and The Underwater Menace: "There's one release that hasn't been announced yet which will provide a home for one of them. And there's a potential release that will provide a home for the other one as well. People aren't going to see them out on DVD in 2012, though. But they are on our schedule."
Hall also indicated that other special editions might be on the way: "I'm hoping that Vengeance on Varos will be the first of our single Revisitations imprint. So we'll see how Varos does and I've certainly got my sights on some future titles. (on choosing the titles) It's a mixture of things. I'll sit down with the Restoration Team and say 'What do you think could look a lot better now than it did on its first release?' Another consideration is looking at the extras that are on the existing DVD, and seeing if there's really basic stuff missing. I'm very proud of the idea that the DVDs form a kind of encyclopaedia."

This afternoon BBC Video revealed the pair of classic DVD releases coming to stores on June 12th, and they're both special edition re-releases this time around! The six-epsiode 1969 adventure starring Patrick Troughton as the 2nd Doctor gets an upgrade with Doctor Who - Story #048: Seeds Of Death: Special Edition, and the two-part 1984 story starring Peter Davison as the 5th Doctor is updated as well in Doctor Who - Story #134: Resurrection of the Daleks: Special Edition. These releases, of course, are digitally remastered in both picture and sound. Package art isn't available yet (except for the Resurrection thumbnail below, subject to change), and a finalized list of bonus material hasn't been provided by the studio yet, either, but below is a preliminary list of extras along with all the other available info we have for each of these titles:
Doctor Who - Story #048: Seeds Of Death: Special Edition (Patrick Troughton as the 2nd Doctor)

By the late 21st century, mankind has become totally dependent on T-Mat to transport people, food and medicines around the world. When the system breaks down, Earth is soon crippled by global shortages. Traveling to the relay station on the moon, the Doctor and his companions discover the horrific truth: the Ice Warriors have hijacked T-Mat, and intend to claim the planet for themselves. Can the Doctor defeat the Martians before Earth is smothered in deadly fungus, and the human race is condemned to extinction?

The corridor links Earth with a battle cruiser in the future that contains the Doctor's oldest enemy - the Daleks. Having lost the war with the Movellans, only one person can now help the evil race. With shocking consequences for the Doctor, it is time for the Daleks to resurrect their creator Davros.

This morning our friends at BBC Video and distributor Warner Home Video announced that two more classic Doctor Who DVD releases are coming to North America, and will be available on July 10th. Both of these are new-to-DVD story arcs, and each brings us closer to completion of the available unreleased stories for the 2nd and 3rd Doctors!

The latter also stars fan-favorite companion Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith, and was written by Dalek creator Terry Nation himself.
As usual, these releases sport both remastered picture and sound. Both are expected to be 1-disc releases, and priced at $24.98 SRP each. Pictures of the package art haven't been made available yet, and a finalized list of bonus material hasn't been provided by the studio so far, either. However, below is a preliminary list of extras along with all the other available info we have for each of these titles:
Doctor Who - Story #047: The Krotons (Patrick Troughton as the 2nd Doctor)
1 disc, 91 minutes, 4 episodes, full frame video, English mono audio, English subtitles, $24.98 SRP
Patrick Troughton stars as the Doctor, in which he finds the humanoid Gonds enslaved by the monstrous, crystalline Krotons. Along with his companions, Jamie and Zoe, the Doctor befriends the Gonds and enters the lair of their enemies. Can he halt the years of tyranny, and also escape with his life?

What's with the Terror of the Zygons release? I guess it's being "saved" for last? It better be a 2-disc set...
