The next Doctor Who DVD to be released in the UK is going to be "Survival" starring Sylvester McCoy. Following that is rumoured to be "Robot" starring Tom Baker (his first ever story) and "Timelash" starring Colin Baker. These are due in May / June respectively.
What does everyone think of these choices?

I welcome Robot as a release because its a good story and you'll get good special features. I never liked Timelash personally its the set is very poor

Survival's a good choice because it one of the origanal series stories that the closest to the new series format - based around the companion, her friends, feelings and personal development (Ghost Light and Curse Of Fenric are other ones) , partly set on (then) present day earth and Ace returning home, famous guest stars etc. I'm looking forward to this dvd coming out - the extras sound good especially the documentaries on Ace and the cancellation/the planned "season 27".
Don't know about Robot, haven't seen it, have heard it's not the best, Tom Baker's supposed to be a bit OTT in it isn't he?
Not sure about Timelash, it's had very bad reviews - there's an infamous anagram of the title summing it up, starts with Lame (you'll have to work the rest out yourself ;-) ).
At least it means the dvd range is less likely to end like ther videos did, with them running out of decent stories and releasing a whole load of dodgy ones.
