This is a wonder show you guys here on tumblr should totally consider watching! I 💗 Torchwood

Because I'll be moving out soon, I spent the night packing my DVDs, Blu Rays, and boxsets (took a lot of time because I organised my non-Doctor Who-and-MST3K ones in chronological order so I can just shelve them as that). After all that...aaaaaaaaaargh.

Orphan episodes of the new series of Doctor Who really annoy me. By which I mean those random episodes the BBC in their infinite wisdom decide to not include with a boxset. At one point it was The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe being ommitted from Series 7, but fan outcry forced them to change that. Then it was the 50th Anniversary Special Day of the Doctor and Time of the Doctor, though that got a trilogy bundle eventually. Luckily the lone Christmas Special that had no series, The Return of Doctor Mysterio was included with Series 10s boxset. Twice Upon a Time wasn't so lucky. I think the real issue is the rush to release the boxset which usually means getting it out before Christmas. Or New Year's Day in the case of Resolution, which absolutely should have been included with Series 11's boxset. Considering it provides a better series finale and provides some closure to one of the only story threads present in the Series 11; Ryan's strained relationship with his absent father, it's essential viewing to anyone hoping to make sense of the run and it's omission is driven purely by release schedules. I do wonder if it will be awkwardly packaged with the Series 12 boxset, which is already being advertized for sale before the first episode has dropped!

IRON MAIDEN Best Of The Beast. 1996 UK limited edition 34-track Four Vinyl LP box set, with picture labels, each disc in a unique picture sleeves with inners. Also includes a 44 page glossy hardback book, all housed within an outer card picture slip case. The outer case displays some minor scuffs & marks to the edges, whilst the inners have minimal wear and the vinyl looks barely played. Overall an excellent example of this hard to find 90s box set.

During the rest of the year I’m back to the box sets. I stick around with foreign language for the most part and am drawn to the north for content and tongue, but not exclusively. An early discovery was Belgian telly. Scripts move between English, Flemish, and French regularly. English for business, French for law and formality, and Flemish for private conversation. This was pleasing enough, but then I got into Dutch TV. Colloquial Dutch does follow those precepts, but then pisses all over them, too, because Dutch itself slides around linguistically. I mean, I know English does that, but to my ear both the Belgians and the Dutch have game.
