War Games DVD [Easter Egg Spoilers!]

Taking a break from contacting everyone [all 168 of `em!] on OG who lists their location as Scotland, I popped across to Eye Of Horus, as you do. But only really for advance DVD reviews, the rest of the site is pretty dull and a bit hard to navigate to my mind..

And what do I find but a review for the upcoming 3-disc release of The War Games! Hooray! [in best RTD voice] I`ve pre-ordered mine from Play.com for £12.99!

Now I dunno about you lot, but I`m really looking forward to this release and not just for the usual canonicity reasons. I genuinely like it and even at ten episodes it doesn`t drag at all. OK, I must agree with Alan and admit that you could  watch episodes 1,2,9 & 10 and not really miss out on anything but the journey wouldn`t be nearly half as much fun!

Funny thing is, I`d been watching TWG for several eps before I realised that the bloke playing the War Chief was Mr Meeker from Rentaghost! Why does that actor recognition thing [see DWM 403 for details] only work one way - ie spotting actors from Who in other things and not actors from other things in Who?

Weird. Anyway, it`s a pretty good review and helpful if you`re swithering about whether to get this or Delta And The Bananamen with your pocket money. But if you like hunting for Easter Eggs, be warned that their content is described, though not their actual location on the three discs.
