Checklist - The Wilderness Years

With just no more classic stories to go it's time to think about what's next...

It's not just Dims in Time, The Movie, Scream of the Shalka then Rose ok?

This is a scrupulous effort and the final result is elusive. It seems everytime I look I find something else and have to make anotehr type of decision about whether it should be included. Current criteria are (about) it's a video (moving pictures not audio or text based), it includes some kind of DW element (character, topic, relationship). Various kinds of documentaries... retrospective, interview based etc are included.

This is the pruned list... (we might skip some of these if they turn out to be boring)
  • Resistance is Useless (BBC 1992) (24m20s)  
  • Dimensions in Time (BBC 1993) (12m to 22m) 
  • Thirty Years in the TARDIS (BBC 1993) (48m40s) / More Than Thirty Years in the TARDIS (1993) (87m53s) 
  • Shakedown: Return of the Sontarans (DWB 1994) (55m)
