DVD

I just recently watched this DVD.  Either in the commentary or in one of the extras, Elisabeth Sladen mentions the name of the shop where the costumers got the Andy Pandy outfit.  Although the store is now closed, as far as I understand, those of you searching for vintage Andy Pandy duds may find it useful.

Is anyone else out there annoyed that all Tom Baker ever seems to talk about on his commentary tracks is how attractive he finds his female co-stars?  It is really bugging me.  I know he's an actor, and maybe playing the "dirty old man" is his shtick right now, but honestly!  Why doesn't he ever talk about how good an actress Elisabeth Sladen (or Judith Paris, or Mary Tamm, etc.) is, instead of just talking about her body???

Thank goodness, on her commentary Elisabeth Sladen seems unafraid to mention how good her acting is.  She does this in a very classy way.  She doesn't sound conceited at all.  She'll just say something like, "Ooh, that was a good bit," and then go on to explain what her mindset or inspiration was as she was acting that particular bit of the story.

This is still my favorite Dr. Who story, but if I ever listen to the audio commentary again I am going to tune out Tom Baker.
