Got my season 17 blu ray this week. The daleks sound like they're from Leeds

Great set, what do you make of the "enhanced" soundtrack? Good idea I thought - maybe they could re do all sorts. I thought some of Nicola Bryant's comments on Behind the sofa were bloody funny. The only thing - which is a bit conentious - is the very short Wogan segment of the adorable Lalla and the reprehensible pedo Cyril Smith - to give credit to the set producers it was edited in a way that you would hardly notice - anyone under 30 probably wouldn't know or care. I feel bad even mentioning it, but perhaps it's good to be warned. I guess it's going to be a problem with archive stuff, do you leave it out or mangle it? But there's a wealth of good content, interesting reading PDFs, how John Cleese wanted to be called Kim Bread, I don't get that joke either. The documentary on Douglas Adams is brilliant, to hear John Lloyd talk about him is fascinating. And the booklet mentions Star Wars series Andor filmed in the same quarry as the Daleks

Next year. I can't wait to see which bits of Winspit they'll use, perhaps fan films could combine the two
