Doctor Who and the Sensorites was the seventh adventure of the first Doctor. It’s a tale of trapped humans, scared aliens and thwarted ambition.

Queen: Days Of Our Lives is an excellent documentary that was put together for the “World’s Greatest Rock Band”. This special collection of Queen footage was directed by Matt O’Casey and produced by Simon Lupton and Rhys Thomas. The remaining band members of Queen, Brian May and Roger Taylor had asked Lupton and Thomas to put together a special 40th anniversary documentary to pay tribute to the band. After a year of researching past Queen video footage and editing, Queen: Days Of Our Lives was the final result.

The Caves of Androzani was the one hundred and thirty-sixth adventure of Doctor Who’s original run, comprising four episodes – and the finale for the fifth Doctor. Its mix of corrupt corporate behavior, the most important/valuable substance in the universe and a dash of Phantom of the Opera is one of the most complex and rewarding of the entire series, past and present.

The third volume of Primeval contains the thirteen episodes of the show’s fourth and fifth series/season, and the first for the new incarnation of ARC – but not to worry, if you haven’t watched the show’s first three seasons, there’s a quick saga sell/previously on that brings you completely up to date. And it’s definitely worth jumping on board here because this is one smart, exciting show.

Although I’m not a huge fan of live action TV shows in which the characters are all reprehensible beyond redemption [*cough* It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia *cough*], the morally repugnant characters of the FX cult hit Archer are funny beyond all reason. The Season Two DVD set is a real killer in that regard.

Sarah Jane Smith may well be the most beloved companion in the long history of Doctor Who. As evidence, I submit the fourth season DVD set of The Sarah Jane Adventures – the second and lighter of two spinoffs, and a collection of ripping yarns that will entertain Whovians of any age. Clearly, Sarah Jane is popular enough to sustain a series that only ended when she did.

Today’s release of The Help on DVD is cause for celebration because the film plays just as well on the small screen as on the big one. It’s also cause for great disappointment because of this lovely, lovely film getting terribly wronged by whoever put the bonus features together – they consist of two deleted scenes and a music video – total time: nine minutes, fifty-two seconds!
