Dear 2Entertain...

thisbluespirit... January is always a bleak time of year; 2011 does not promise to be better for many people than 2010, so thank you for so throughtfully starting the year by releasing those renowned classics Meglos, The Mutants and The Ark. That will jolly everything along!
Thank you also for the news that there are going to be further not-available-separately Revisitations box sets (even though if you had a buy-individually option, it would actually get you more money in the long run, and possibly the short run) and also I am very happy to hear that Terror of the Autons will finally be released this year, but can only be purchased by also buying Spearhead in Space. As for the boring idea of releasing the two Mara stories* together when compared to the that natural pairing of The Sun Makers and The Ambassadors in Space ('The Solar System' box-set), what can I say? (I'm not even mentioning the even more thoughtful pairing of The Gunfighters and The Awakening - 'Earth-Tales' - here.)
Could you really not have come up with anything to spice up the Frontios release? Surely you could have paired it with The Happiness Patrol under the title 'The Lesley Dunlop Tales'? #

(who is not getting at any of these stories, but, seriously, WHAT ARE THEY THINKING? And if some of those 'Revisitations' were single-releases, I would buy them for their shiny extras. *sighs again over The TV Movie* Plus, I want The Happiness Patrol and Greatest Show, because now my video player has broken.)
*Okay, if this was the January release, I would be out there with my Christmas money, so happy I would not be writing this, but that's sort of what I mean. I want options, and box-sets should not come with a tenuous 'spot the connection' theme!)
(Yes, DWM arrived. If anyone wants more details on the 2Entertain list, or shiny extras on the re-releases, I will look when I've stopped hitting myself over the head with a rolled up copy of the magazine. Seriously, how can this not be obvious to people? Some people only like one era of the show! And, yes, they should be made to appreciate it all, of course, but... not like this.)
#ETA: Actually, this would have made me laugh so hard, I'd love it. Plus, Happiness Patrol...
