From the demented minds of the Chapman Brothers at HomestarRunner.com, this DVD complements the previously-released 3-DVD Strongbad E-mail box set with an additional 31 responses from Strong Bad and crew to actual fan-written e-mails (one of these never before seen on the web), along with commentaries and other extras.

This DVD box set, of which whispers were heard for nearly two years before its release, presents on DVD for the first time the first 13 episodes of the original Doctor Who. The four-part An Unearthly Child introduces two hapless humans to the world of the mysterious alien Doctor and his granddaughter Susan, and then plunges the four into a stone-age misadventure where they have to try not to interfere with the moment that fire was discovered. The four travelers depart in the TARDIS for a seven-episode meeting with The Daleks, metal-encased creatures who at first seem to be pitiful and helpless but then turn out to be murderous beings hell-bent on enforcing a final ethnic cleansing on their already-ruined world. In The Edge Of Destruction, an unusual two-part story, the Doctor and friends are trapped inside the TARDIS, assailed by forces unknown and nearly driven mad while they try to find out more about what’s happening to them. Each story is on its own disc, and – at least in the UK edition – each individually-cased disc sports stellar cover artwork of which there ought to be huge posters available if there’s any justice in the world.
