M-many apologies, Sir Andrew Ellard. Had I known it was you… forgive me.

Two updates to TOS LAST CUNTING FRIDAY, then. Firstly, fanclub stuff - the big news being that as well as Mike Tucker attending, there will also be… Peter Tyler, Nick Kool, and Alan Brannan. I’m weak at the knees. And to think that most people get stuck to their seats because of Chris Barrie or Chloe Annett…

We also have a DVD Details deleted scenes article. “They’re so expected at this point that people forget just how cool an extra they are to have, what they mean to our DVDs. It’s not just about new gags and performances, it’s a glance inside the production process.” Knows what he’s talking about, that dude. And people reviewing DVDs could do well to remember it.

So, we can look forward to lots of scenes that were eventually reshot, especially from BITR and Pete due to the eps being split into two/three parters. Excellent. We’re told that “in one notable instance the reshoot was actually rejected in favour of the original! But you’ll have to wait a while to find out which one.” YOU BASTARD.

Read the article for the rest of the juicy snippets - but the bit I’m most looking forward to is “some more of the ‘animatronic’ AR crew seen in Blue” - which for my money is the funniest scene in the entire of VII - and, of course, the original ending to Only The Good. Which surely, however crap it is, must beat the one broadcast? (See Don’t Leave Us Hanging for a transcript of it.)

Of course, what would be really lovely is having a 1-hour version of BITR included. I suppose whether we get this or not depends on how far through the editing process the ep got; re-editing the entire thing would be slightly impossible on a DVD budget - at least, without compromising the other extras. And I suppose space could be an issue as well. But I can dream…
