Why you should allow me to purchase Doctor Who DVD Files

through your account with my own money part 3


I am afraid to have to interrupt having to passionately talk about the magazine, as the next
section would be meaningless without this paragraph. Each magazine comes with a DVD
(hence the creative title Doctor Who DVD Files). From issues 1 to 28, each DVD comes with
two episodes of Doctor Who post-2005, with the likes of Christopher Eccleston, or the more
well known David Tennant, who sadly, doesn’t want to be associated with a guy to travels in
a time machine. Later, the DVDs contain one story from Doctor broadcasted between 1962
to 1989. Before you start complaining this is a blatant rip-off, older Doctor Who stories
weren’t in covenant 45 minute single episodes. Back in the good old days, an episode was
25 minutes long, and a story would typically have between 2 to 14 episodes, but the
majority had 4. By using mental maths, the classic DVDs from Doctor Who DVD Files would
have 100 minutes of Doctor Who goodness, compared to post-2005 Doctor Who of 90
minutes.

The magazine caters for this. If you were a Doctor Who fan, you have just watched an
episode with a brilliant, inventive plot, and want to find out more, the ‘DVD Episode Guide’
talks about the freshly watched episode, as well as five facts you might not have noticed
because you were too busy enjoying yourself. There are questions, but these are for a bit of
fun, or to irritate encourage mums to watch Doctor Who, in time for Mother’s Day...

From issue 51 onwards, two additional sections are present, which is better value for your
my money, ‘Who on Earth’ and ‘Alien Worlds.’ The former gives the fictional history of the
Doctor’s history on Earth, from the relatively primitive Stone Age, the rise and fall of the
Roman Empire, the danger of the French Revolution, how the Allied Forces in World War
Two used the trigger-happy mutants to ‘win’ the war, and even to when the Sun engulfs the
Earth, leaving it a charred, cooked shadow of its former self...
