| As promised by 2 Entertain’s Dan Hall in Radio Free Skaro #221, 2011 is indeed shaping up to be a very busy year for Doctor Who DVD fans in North America. Hot on the heels of two releases in January, February 8 sees another two DVDs coming out in the form of the 1996 TV Movie and the 1972 serial The Mutants. The TV Movie finally sees its first North American release of any kind on the eve of the 15th anniversary of its original broadcast, whereas The Mutants is the second release (after Meglos) that will be released in 2011 at around the same time as it is in the UK.

The internet exploded in Doctor Who land this past week with fans beside themselves about Regenergate and Gallifrey One hotel rooms, which caused the Three Who Rule to take time out of this episode to allay those fears. Long stories short: Don’t Panic. Everything’s fine. After those fires were ably extinguished, it was on to the commentary for The Vampires of Venice, a mid-series tome that inspired overwhelming indifference from two members of the Radio Free Skaro team. Did that opinion change…?
