They should have put 'Greatest Show ...' in there to complete the 7th Doctor's adventures.

Maybe they're3 saving that for last, just for title's sake.
Anyway, I will just immediately buy this when its out, Dragonfire was my first ever story I saw, even though others don't like how...unique it is.

Been looking forward to this for ages, looks great! (You don't how tempting it was to say "That's Ace! )

HaHa...
I've ordered this (along with Nightmare).
So on pre-order - Ace set, Revisitations 3, Daemons, Face of Evil and Nightmare. In the post - Sontarans!!

Just spent the last couple of days going through this weeks arrivals - The Doctor , The Widow.. (dreadful, even in 1080 HD). Loved watching Dinosaurs and Androids in pristine remastered editions. Great shows.

Looking forward to the Ace set, as Dragonfire is one that I like a lot - though, I do not like the literal cliff hanger for part one much.

The line about leaving Greatest show.. That's a nice thought, and would make a great marketing gimmic.. The greatest show in the galaxy finaly comes to an end on DVD, with - The Greatest Show In The Galaxy - Love it.

Dinosaurs and Androids, i could watch them over and over! The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe......sadly i think once was enough, i just hope the rest of series 7 is a marked improvement.

I shall be getting this, but not in 2012.

Watched Dragonfire so far, we all know the daft cliffhanger in episode 1, so we won't go into that (naturally it is mentioned in The Doctor's strangelove), but i actually quite enjoyed the story. I quite liked the Big Bang special feature which examines some of the old explosive effects in classic who and compares them to modern effects, and it was amusing to hear Davros with a posh accent.

I just realised at the beginning of the Happiness Patrol dvd, the "BBC Worldwide optical disc ect" disclaimer has been turned pink! I never noticed the first time, quite a nice touch!

Slightly dissapointed, as my set didn't arrive Friday, so i'm not watching it this weekend. Guess I'll have to go on that date, and see the Avengers instead.
