2009 DVD releases - my grand theory

I think it's easiest to eliminate the ones that probably *won't* be out this year; I don't think we'll see any more 60s ones, as three Hartnells in a year is pretty good anyway, and they probably want to space out the remaining Troughtons; I'm pretty sure Steve Roberts or someone else from the RT stated on DWF a while back that we're only getting two Pertwees this year, which we know to be Frontier/PotD, so that leaves us with some educated guesses to make. For Davison, I think his remaining 6 stories will be split into three box sets (Kinda/Snakedance, King's Demons/Planet of Fire, Awakening/Frontios), one each over the remaining three years of the schedule; likewise I reckon the other, less commercially viable McCoys and Twin Dilemma (the last remaining Colin Baker) will be strung out through 2010-12...which leaves us with another Tom Baker story - but which one?

Well, The Masque of Mandragora has been muttered about for a while now, insofar as they're supposed to have been filming extras for it at Portmeirion, but we've already got another Season 14 story (Deadly Assassin) lined up for this year, *and* Image of the Fendahl, so my guess is it'll be a later one, from Season 17 or 18. Of those, Meglos *would* finish off another season, but I think it'll be one of the three latter completed stories from Season 17 - Creature from the Pit, Nightmare of Eden or Horns of Nimon.

My money would be on one of those three, but no idea which. Hope it's Nimon, as it’s marginally less crap than the other two…
