8:00 & 11:15 Both discs have music as used in the story. Disc 1 is all the original Carey Blyton recordings, Disc 2 has the cues created or edited by Peter Howell for Parts Two and Three where the original recordings were deemed either inappropriate or lacking. The "cybernetic detail" is the way to identify the tracks that actually appear in the story as broadcast.

Thanks for the review, I was on the fence about getting the audiobook version. Now I feel more solid in my decision, although, I think the audiobook will be coming to Spotify. So maybe I will just wait. (although, I kinda miss physical media)

thank you :) i believe the audiobook is also available as a physical CD, usually, they come in a dual case i believe? The book version is also very pretty - can't beat a physical book!

Especially alongside some of the other more "standard" style doctor who stories like space babies etc i think it maybe stood out even more as being different? Always nice to break the mold!

I listened to the audio book for Ruby Red and I was impressed by Millie Gibson's range in doing impressions of all the aliens and different characters in it, at some points I forgot it was even just one person reading it all and not a full cast.

That's really interesting! I was tempted by the audio book, would be particularly interested by her portrayal of Ran.

14:31 ye sorry but the bomb arrangement is *less* accurate to what was seen on screen, as none of the props ever had the bombs mounted on top of the slats - they were only ever mounted on the mesh, so the OG sculpt is superior

Think of all the cards they could do if they revived this series, cards from The Next Doctor onwards, Doctors, companions and characters from Classic Who and if they really wanna go the extra mile characters from Big Finish (those featured on cover arts that is)

As we all know it's possible to buy certain fourth Doctor releases from a box set individually eg Blood Of The Time lords.I wonder if it would be good financial business for BF do do this with other Doctors.I want to hear Dream Team but the first story that takes up a third of the box set I'm just not interested in.Thanks for review.

Love the Hurndall figure - His portrayal of the First Doctor was far superior to Bradley's IMO, so very happy to have him! The Dalek is great, and goes into my Top Five Daleks list (along with Imperials, Special Weapons, 1960's movie Daleks, and Death to the Daleks variants). Nice review, Red. :)

Why did I stop watching your Channel, Red? I can't remember (probably tied into the downturn and ultimate destruction of the show in some fashion...) Anyway, as good a review as I remember! Not having a B&M near me, I bought these two items separately on the Bay of E... And very cheaply too (yes, I was damned surprised also, I can tell you). I'd stopped collecting the figures but then this came along, and well, I'd seen the Play (also with Jon in the lead), and it's Colin after all...But it did feel a bit weird buying them loose, but now having seen your video, I realise they come that way! What a moronic idea reducing the packaging in that fashion (and don't believe for an instant that it is environmentally driven - in business things are only ever economically driven). Anyway, amazing and great to see you're still in the game. Take care, Red! :)

I can agree it's always nice to hear the Ninth Doctor have his tirades, but black and white does not equal darker, because lack of nuances makes it easy, it's much less bleak when it's so easy to point fingers. Hell, that's one of the big parts of what made the Time War so tragic, the Daleks are literal space nazis, yes, but even the Time Lords have their dark side, a dark side that was very much exposed during this great war.

I received mine in the mail, and i think my only issues are: 1. The sounds are really quiet, i instantly changed to brand new batteries, and theyre still quiet 2. I wish there was an led in the emitter, not only the tube, as its not as bright 3. The claws are pretty flimsy and sometimes only one or two open 4. There is a slight delay when pressing the button for sounds and lights to activate. The sounds and lights happen about a second after holding the button, and stop like a second after letting go 5. Changing the color settings is tricky, as sometimes it takes up to 10 seconds for me to get a red setting 6. My standard blue light is more like a normal flashlight color, pretty white with a very slight hint of blue, doesnt seem as blue as the sonic in the video Overall i still like it, just not sure its worth the £60 i paid from an eBay reseller :P I may have to go for the replica instead and see how it compares
