Just bought 2 Tom baker era dvd's: Genesis of the Daleks (voted all time best episode by fans apparently), Planet of Evil (a homage to Forbidden Planet) and one Sylvester McCoy one; Curse of Fenric. All three from Amazon for £15.
The sfx may not be as good as today (actually looks like Blue Peter may have made the sets!) and some of the acting is a bit am dram at times but by god the storylines are much better
Sadly not available yet on blu ray but all three come with a boat load of great extras. The Curse of Fenric even comes with an extended movie version that has been retouched as well as the original episodic version.
10/10 for restoring the faith!

Wasn't she in that Victorian lesbian drama, Tipping the velvet a few years ago. (No idea why that stuck in my memory)
