Having the Master back would be cool, but it'd need way too much explaining. I'd still like it if they actually made the Master the Doctor's brother like they were going to before the original actor died back during Pertwee's era. I'd also like to see regenerated Romana come back, but that's just me. ^_- What I really think they're going for with the destruction of all the Timelords is to make the Doctor a lot more unique. By having him being the sole survivor, he has that aspect that makes Superman so interesting...he can't ever truly go home. Adding more Timelords to the mix only would hurt that in the long run. But hey, this is a time travel series.

I got my copy off of alt.binaries.drwho (if you have newsgroup access, then all you need is GrabIt, something to open RAR files and the program QuickPar to fixes files with errors).

I collected the VHS tapes from 1997 to around 2001 or 2002 and then just stopped. About the only tapes I'm missing are the final two or three waves put out that completed Tom Baker and John Pertwee's run and that final box set they put out. I just can't see buying the entire series AGAIN just to have it on DVD. The same was true for The Prisoner and to a lesser extent The X-Files. Rebuying shows I already own just doesn't do anything for me anymore...especially when most of the digital versions out there are far superior in quality (The O.C. TV caps are in widescreen and the DVD release was only in full screen for example).

Compared to the past Confidential episodes, this impressed me the least. There was a final clip montage done as a tribute to the ninth doctor's reign, some information on the development of the supreme Dalek, a nice explaination of the regeneration sequence and for Jack's farewell kiss (the documentary makes it sound like he's gone for good), but the rest of it just feels like a recap of what was just shown in the main episode. What I really wanted to hear about was a nice little tidbit about David Tennant's doctor to hold us over until December, but no such luck. This one episode aside, the Confidential series really helps to show just how far the show has come since the early days in a way other documentaries couldn't.

Well, just look at the contrived way that they got rid of Peri and brought Mel into the show back during The Trial of the Timelord arc.
