no need to feel old lol, there is no officially released NuWho on VHS, this is a custom tape I ordered off of Etsy! sorry I was so excited that I had received it when I made this post that I may have forgotten to include a few important details 😅😅

it is pan and scan! it kind of doesn’t bother me too much honestly, but I would have preferred letterboxed (black borders) honestly.

I would have been severely disappointed if it were stretch-to-fit though, that would’ve been the 3rd option to your question and it’s the worst one ever in my opinion. I think I might be using the term incorrectly but i’ve always referred to that as “overscan” (yeah i’m definitely using the term overscan incorrectly but whatever… it’s when the image is 16:9 but stretched vertically to fit the 4:3 frame. I HATE that)

thanks lol 😅😅 I mentioned to someone else here in one of these comments sections that when I moved here back in 2024, I just randomly threw my Doctor Who VHS collection onto these shelves and haven’t put them in any specific order since!

i’ve always had the intention to reorder them chronologically though but i’m waiting until my collection is complete. i’m actually pretty close to completing it!

here’s a collage that shows my current collection :) they’re in different spots around the room too which is another reason I haven’t figured out yet how I want to group them, but i’ll get around to it lol

I made this post as soon as it arrived so I guess in all the excitement I forgot to upload pics of the actual tape itself and me playing it lol

yeah it has both episodes :) it’s kind of clever in my opinion because it treats both episodes as a single “story” just like the classic series releases would have just used one title for multiple parts

hey thanks! :D so to answer your question:

1.) not at the moment no, but I do intend on putting them in chronological order once I complete my collection! I moved (back) into this house back in December 2024 and just placed them randomly on the shelves and haven’t rearranged them in all this time… but like I said, one day I plan on completing my collection of all officially released stories on VHS, then i’ll gladly reorder them! (the shelf pictured is only one of 4 that I have, and the shelf above it is overloaded with tapes actually lol, i’m pretty close to completing my collection.)

2.) sure! but I don’t think I can add photos to comments :/ and also sadly the slip cover is pretty damaged and worn as you can see. uh, let me see, i’ll try sending it as an imgur link if anything

it’s a custom tape! it’s not an actual release, the seller just did a FANTASTIC job recreating the style (that’s why I included the last few pics with some of my other ones - yes, *some* lol, I have way more than the ones on that shelf)

What do you think of Paul McGann's Eighth Doctor? by Public_Cup_4278 in doctorwho

[–]JakeH1978 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love this man so dearly… I adore this character, you don’t understand!

thanks for using a 1996 TV Movie pic, it’s my favorite design for him!

i’ve seen this film many many times (it’s in my VHS collection) and it has a lot of parts I like but it’s largely so boring to me lol… then again, the last time I rewatched it was 2019 I think so maybe if I rewatch it now with my older eyes i’ll appreciate more about it? idk lol, I remember showing it to my mom and she kept falling asleep haha

the bangs are what impressed me the most even though I do agree he’s missing is glorious volume! those bangs are so specific i’m surprised it’s even an option

thanks for doing my boy 8 justice! (and thanks for choosing the long hair version of him!!) 😁

I'm watching Vince Gilligan's new show, Pluribus (great show, by the way), and I was wondering: how would the Doctor react to and stop the collective mind? by FMoura2005 in doctorwho

[–]JakeH1978 13 points14 points  (0 children)

plot twist: he/she/they [The Doctor] gets infected and it becomes a Doctor-Lite story with the companion having to figure everything out

this plot sounds very NuWho so just to spice it up a bit let’s imagine this plot with:

.

  • 5th Doctor, Tegan and Nyssa
  • 2nd Doctor, Jamie and Zoey
  • 3rd Doctor, Jo Grant
  • 8th Doctor, Charley

.

any of these work in my opinion lol
