Season Tickets Are on Sale Now!
Dec. 3, 2012
Buy Mizzou Baseball Season Tickets!
COLUMBIA, Mo. - The Mizzou department of athletics and the Mizzou baseball program are proud to announce that 2013 season tickets are on sale for the program's inaugural season in the SEC, the premier baseball league in the country. At just $60 for adults and $30 for youth, Mizzou baseball season tickets are one of the most affordable packages in the SEC and give fans a chance to see every game at Taylor Stadium for just $2 per contest. A family pass (two adults/two children) is also on sale for just $150. The season tickets are the perfect gift heading into the holiday season.
The Tigers are coming off of another successful year under the direction of head coach Tim Jamieson in which the team claimed the Big 12 Tournament title and advanced to its eighth NCAA Tournament in 10 seasons. Jamieson returns an experienced group this season, including veteran Friday night starter Rob Zastryzny (Corpus Christi, Texas), who is poised for a breakout year in his first SEC season.
As the Tigers transition to the SEC, the level of competition will increase at Taylor Stadium this season as Tiger fans are sure to see future Major League Baseball players nearly every weekend at Taylor Stadium. In fact, Mizzou's first three SEC series at home are against perennial SEC powers South Carolina, which has played in each of the last three College World Series Finals - winning two, LSU, which has hosted 20 NCAA Regionals and Florida. The Tigers will also host weekend series at Taylor Stadium against Big Ten foe Northwestern, San Francisco, Auburn and Kentucky in 2013.
Tickets can be purchased by calling the Mizzou ticket office at 1-800-CAT-PAWS or 882-PAWS (local) or by visiting the Mizzou website at MUTigers.com. For all the latest on Mizzou baseball, stay tuned to MUTigers.com and follow the team on twitter @MUTigerBaseball.

As promised last night, the trailer for Wes Anderson's first live-action film since 2007′s The Darjeeling Limited is here. Moonrise Kingdom has a stellar ensemble that includes Bill Murray, Harvey Keitel, Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton, Jason Schwartzman and newcomers Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward. The story follows a young boy and girl who fall in love then run away together and a search commences for them in a 1960s New England coastal town.
The perfectly framed shots we've come to expect are here and I adore the cast he has assembled. I like how the newcomers seem to be the main characters as well (at least, initially), with big names supporting them. It is great to see Willis finally put some effort towards his roles and the last bit with Murray had me in stitches. Check it out below via Apple.
Set on an island off the coast of New England in the summer of 1965, MOONRISE KINGDOM tells the story of two twelve-year-olds who fall in love, make a secret pact, and run away together into the wilderness. As various authorities try to hunt them down, a violent storm is brewing off-shore — and the peaceful island community is turned upside down in more ways than anyone can handle. Bruce Willis plays the local sheriff. Edward Norton is a Khaki Scout troop leader. Bill Murray and Frances McDormand portray the young girl's parents. The cast also includes Tilda Swinton, Jason Schwartzman, and Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward as the boy and girl.
Moonrise Kingdom hits theaters May 25th, 2012 with a Cannes premiere likely.
With a seemingly endless amount of streaming options — not only the titles at our disposal, but services themselves — we've taken it upon ourselves to highlight the titles that have recently hit the interwebs. Every week, one will be able to see the cream of the crop (or perhaps some simply interesting picks) of streaming […]

I'm not sure I'd think much about diving into the work of Les Blank if only given a plot synopsis.

Your absence is even more irritating than your presence.
You are missing from me.
Without you my life is a grey wasteland of desolation and heartache.
You were the first thought of my day. How are you?
im thinking about you is much more interesting!
My lips are hungering for your touch<br />
My body is screaming out your name...
I would like to be with you again.
Imagining how it will feel to be in each others arms again.
i luv and miss u +++
i like to keep it simple. i used to get emails from my ex saying 'thinking about you'. and those three words were enough.
El Lagarto: HAHAHAHAHA
say you are longing or you pine for them... ?? thats all i could come up with off the top of my head
I would text .... "Thinking of you now, missing you when you are not near, loving you always"
Sometimes I'll send one to my guy that says "want you, need you, miss you, love you!" Followed by XOXOXOX
I miss your face.
If it's to a man, the more powerful way to say it, is to text "I want you".
i missed you like a sail boat drifting upon the waters with any breeze to catch my sails.!!!!!

Hypergeometric mean and variance
[MN,V] = hygestat(M,K,N)
[MN,V] = hygestat(M,K,N) returns the mean of and variance for the hypergeometric distribution with corresponding size of the population, M, number of items with the desired characteristic in the population, K, and number of samples drawn, N. Vector or matrix inputs for M, K, and N must have the same size, which is also the size of MN and V. A scalar input for M, K, or N is expanded to a constant matrix with the same dimensions as the other inputs.
The mean of the hypergeometric distribution with parameters M, K, and N is NK/M, and the variance is NK(M-K)(M-N)/[M^2(M-1)].
The hypergeometric distribution approaches the binomial distribution, where p = K/M, as M goes to infinity.
[m,v] = hygestat(10.^(1:4),10.^(0:3),9) m = 0.9000 0.9000 0.9000 0.9000 v = 0.0900 0.7445 0.8035 0.8094 [m,v] = binostat(9,0.1) m = 0.9000 v = 0.8100

Key Federal Agencies' and the Smithsonian Institution's Efforts to Identify and Repatriate Indian Human Remains and Objects

The National Museum of the American Indian Act of 1989 (NMAI Act), as amended in 1996, generally requires the Smithsonian Institution to inventory and identify the origins of its Indian and Native Hawaiian human remains and objects placed with them (funerary objects) and repatriate them to culturally affiliated Indian tribes upon request. According to the Smithsonian, two of its museums--the American Indian and the Natural History Museums--have items that are subject to the NMAI Act. The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), enacted in 1990, includes similar requirements for federal agencies and museums. The National NAGPRA office, within the Department of the Interior's National Park Service, facilitates the governmentwide implementation of NAGPRA. Each act requires the establishment of a committee to monitor and review repatriation activities. GAO's testimony is based on its July 2010 report on NAGPRA implementation (GAO-10-768) and its May 2011 report on Smithsonian repatriation (GAO-11-515). The testimony focuses on the extent to which key federal agencies have complied with NAGPRA's requirements and the extent to which the Smithsonian has fulfilled its repatriation requirements.
GAO found that almost 20 years after NAGPRA was enacted, eight key federal agencies with significant historical collections--Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Park Service; Agriculture's U.S. Forest Service; the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; and the Tennessee Valley Authority--have not fully complied with the requirements of the act. All of the agencies acknowledged that they still have additional work to do and some have not fully complied with NAGPRA's requirement to publish notices of inventory completion for all of their culturally affiliated human remains and associated funerary objects in the Federal Register. In addition, GAO found two areas of concern with the National NAGPRA office's activities. First, National NAGPRA had developed a list of Indian tribes for the purposes of carrying out NAGPRA that was inconsistent with BIA's official list of federally recognized tribes and an Interior legal opinion. Second, National NAGPRA did not always screen nominations for NAGPRA Review Committee positions properly. GAO found that repatriations were generally not tracked or reported governmentwide. However, based on GAO's compilation of federal agencies' repatriation data, through September 30, 2009, federal agencies had repatriated 55 percent of the human remains and 68 percent of the associated funerary objects that had been published in notices of inventory completion. The relevant agencies agreed with the recommendations in both reports and GAO is making no new recommendations at this time.

Now that FIFA 12 is out you'll be wanting to know if it's worth your time and more importantly your hard-earned money.
If you read our FIFA 12 review you'll know we think FIFA 12 is well worth it, we gave it 9.3 and called it "a more charismatic, tactical FIFA that's finally taking steps in a new direction".
First up is OXM which it gives the game 9/10 and says it's "the best sports sim ever" thanks to its skill-driven tackling, new realistic physics engine and excellent online modes.
OXM US agrees and also awards it 9/10, saying that EA has done the most popular sport in the world justice by "improving virtually every aspect of last year's game".
The Telegraph opts for 5/5. It says although there "may be teething problems in adjusting to its nuances" and admitted "there's certainly room for refinement" overall "FIFA 12 is unquestionably a change for the better".
Game Informer also goes with a 9/10 and says the game "has progressed in key areas. It may not have that lethal finisher, but FIFA 12 is a top-flight club in fine form."
"Once again, Fifa redefines what we expect from a football sim. Improved defensive systems and physics, along with expanded game modes, result in an even more beautiful 'beautiful game.", says IncGamers in its 9/10 review.
Eurogamer continues the 9/10 trend and says "going back to previous entries in the series seems almost unimaginable" before calling FIFA 12 "another step closer to reality".
"I booted up FIFA 11 to gauge just how much has changed and the differences really are quite striking. The Tactical Defending feels entirely alien to begin with but stick with it and it makes FIFA 12 feel like a brand new, and more realistic football experience. The King is dead. Long live the King: FIFA 12," says VideoGamer's reviewer, before awarding it a 9/10.
IGN's score goes a little higher than the last few, gives EA's latest entry a 9.5/10 and says "FIFA 12 has not innovated simply for the sake of it. The gameplay innovations greatly improve the way FIFA plays. Matches unfold with a more authentic tempo, taking it much closer to the real thing."
GameTrailers' review sticks a 9.3 on FIFA 12 and praises the development team for taking "a rather risky adjustment to the core gameplay", a gamble which it says "has paid off in nearly every regard". "FIFA 12 the complete package. It's an addictive, entertaining, and downright awesome entry in the legendary FIFA franchise that fans of the sport simply shouldn't miss," it finishes.
Gaming-Age sums up FIFA 12 with one word: "brilliant". It goes on to say that "it can't be denied that this year FIFA 12 is the best game of football around, American or European. EA Sports has revolutionized the sport again with FIFA 12 and for that we thank you".
GameSpot's verdict is a 9/10, "FIFA 12 is the definitive football game: challenging, addictive, and with more excellent features than ever before".
Continuing the praise The Guardian goes with 5/5. It says although it's "a game that isn't perfect, and that won't suit everyone" it "absolutely reeks of effort, of care, of love for the sport...with friends, with practice, with a will to re-think your approach to defence, Fifa is an absolute joy to play".
1UP adds to the outpouring of love with an A grade. The review dings the game for "awkward or buggy" moments the new collision system creates, "unrealistic movements", it goes on to say "FIFA 12 is a remarkable achievement. EA could have easily rested on its laurels, but instead decided to be ballsy and went about overhauling some fundamental gameplay mechanics in a game that was already garnering universal praise".
Lastly is GamePro, which goes with 5/5 and says "FIFA 12 is definitely a landmark sports game. Not only is it the greatest football game we've yet seen, it's a masterclass in how to capture the essence of a sport. From they way it looks to the way it makes you think about how you play the game, FIFA 12 is brilliant, through and through".
Let us know if you've got FIFA 12 and how you're getting on with it in the comments below.

Critic Reviews for Flakes
All Critics (20) | Top Critics (9) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (15) | DVD (1)
There are a few sweet moments as the story reaches its unsurprising conclusion. But, all in all, Flakes isn't going to bowl you over.
Unless you happen to be one yourself, chances are pretty good that you'll take an immediate dislike to the self-satisfied hipsters who populate this disappointing comedy from Heathers director Michael Lehmann.
Minor to the point of barely existing.
The characters Lehmann and company use as generational mouthpieces bear no relation to any people who have ever existed, and they barely work as parody. It's cool to see the old retro cereals on the restaurant shelf, though.
A business course on cutthroat capitalism disguised as a slacker comedy: That's the kindest way to describe Michael Lehmann's Flakes.
Hey Flakes, 1994 called: they want their unshaved, American Spirit-smoking statement on individual artistic potential struggling to survive in a corporate world back
The amazing Deschanel once again proves her astonishing ability to exist comfortably within a scene, as well as slightly above it.
There's enough breezy charm on display to make it worth a look on cable, DVD or at a bargain matinee.
While the ghost of a bittersweet 'everyone's a sell-out' moral seems to haunt screenwriters Chris Poche and Karey Kirkpatrick's scruffy little romantic fable, it's buried under layers of forced quirkiness.
The surprise is how consistently entertaining Flakes is despite the dearth of star power, production value or innovative style.
A disappointingly superficial enterprise, given its undeservedly smug, countercultural airs.
This too-cool-for-school Singles wannabe could have been great, but it never really goes anywhere due to its poor execution
One look at Aaron Stanford's chain-smoking, long-haired musician in a Hanes t-shirt and you know Flakes wants so badly to be hip.
I hate to be so down on a comedy that comes from so many filmmakers and actors I admire, but this flick's about as satisfying as a bowl of soggy Corn Flakes.
Audience Reviews for Flakes
Cereal and pop culture are fun, but this movie, not as much. It was still a nice little quirky indie film, but a little too uneventful, and predictable. Extra 1/2 star for Zooey. She made it worth watching.More
Super Reviewer
Totally adorable, but that's because of Deschanel. She just oozes adorableness... Very quirky and funny.More
Super Reviewer
Flakes is more dry and boring than any bowl of cereal could ever be. I've enjoyed many a hipster indie movie, but all the quirky characters in the world can't save a movie that's dull and devoid of any entertainment value, whatsoever.
I think the movie was attempting an Empire Records-type vibe, where you're introduced to a few off-beat characters, and then grow to care about their lives over the course of the movie. That certainly didn't happen. Every character was annoyingly "different", and the viewer is never given any reasons to grow attached to them. They never become anything more than arbitrarily alternative caricatures. I normally love Zooey Deschanel (she's the reason I watched the movie), but she's just as un-appealing in this as everyone else. This may sound harsh, but Flakes was a complete failure. Don't waste your time with it.
Super Reviewer
I always seem to gravitate to films like these... rarely do I ever feel fulfilled. The premise of the film seemed great; same old story arc told from a different perspective and Zooey. Mmmmm Zooey. The crew and sets of the film work for the most part... Aaron Stanford was a weinie though. I did not like his dynamics and struggled to put up with him. He really was a douche and not in the sense of his character and that's what they were going for; but really someone I wish was recasted. Chris Lloyd was great to see and the setting of Flakes stood for a tasty premise. Really this was an okay movie(good to watch during breakfast?) and is probably Michael Lehmann's best movie which... isn't saying much. I did hardcore crave some cereal though, so great execution on that part, Mike!More

Blu-ray Disc (BD) is a digital optical disc data storage format designed to supersede the DVD format. The plastic disc is 120 mm in diameter and 1.2 mm thick, the same size as DVDs and CDs. Conventional (pre-BD-XL) Blu-ray Discs contain 25 GB per layer, with dual layer discs (50 GB) being the industry standard for feature-length video discs. Triple layer discs (100 GB) and quadruple layers (128 GB) are available for BD-XL re-writer drives. The name Blu-ray Disc refers to the blue laser used to read the disc, which allows information to be stored at a greater density than is possible with the longer-wavelength red laser used for DVDs. The major application of Blu-ray Discs is as a medium for video material such as feature films. Besides the hardware specifications, Blu-ray Disc is associated with a set of multimedia formats. Generally, these formats allow for the video and audio to be stored with greater definition than on DVD.
The format was developed by the Blu-ray Disc Association, a group representing makers of consumer electronics, computer hardware, and motion pictures. Sony unveiled the first Blu-ray Disc prototypes in October 2000, and the first prototype player was released in April 2003 in Japan. Afterwards, it continued to be developed until its official release in June 2006. As of June 2008[update], more than 2,500 Blu-ray Disc titles were available in Australia and the United Kingdom, with 3,500 in the United States and Canada. In Japan, as of July 2010[update], more than 3,300 titles have been released.

Entertainment is a form of activity that holds the attention and interest of an audience, or gives pleasure and delight. It can be an idea or a task, but is more likely to be one of the activities or events that have developed over thousands of years specifically for the purpose of keeping an audience's attention. Although people's attention is held by different things, because individuals have different preferences in entertainment, most forms are recognisable and familiar. Storytelling, music, drama, dance, and different kinds of performance exist in all cultures, were supported in royal courts, developed into sophisticated forms and over time became available to all citizens. The process has been accelerated in modern times by an entertainment industry which records and sells entertainment products. Entertainment evolves and can be adapted to suit any scale, ranging from an individual who chooses a private entertainment from a now enormous array of pre-recorded products; to a banquet adapted for two; to any size or type of party, with appropriate music and dance; to performances intended for thousands; and even for a global audience.
The experience of being entertained has come to be strongly associated with amusement, so that one common understanding of the idea is fun and laughter, although many entertainments have a serious purpose. This may be the case in the various forms of ceremony, celebration, religious festival, or satire for example. Hence, there is the possibility that what appears as entertainment may also be a means of achieving insight or intellectual growth.
In journalism, a human interest story is a feature story that discusses a person or people in an emotional way. It presents people and their problems, concerns, or achievements in a way that brings about interest, sympathy or motivation in the reader or viewer.
Human interest stories may be "the story behind the story" about an event, organization, or otherwise faceless historical happening, such as about the life of an individual soldier during wartime, an interview with a survivor of a natural disaster, a random act of kindness or profile of someone known for a career achievement.

The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to serve several billion users worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks, of local to global scope, that are linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries an extensive range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents of the World Wide Web (WWW), the infrastructure to support email, and peer-to-peer networks.
Most traditional communications media including telephone, music, film, and television are being reshaped or redefined by the Internet, giving birth to new services such as voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and Internet Protocol television (IPTV). Newspaper, book and other print publishing are adapting to website technology, or are reshaped into blogging and web feeds. The Internet has enabled and accelerated new forms of human interactions through instant messaging, Internet forums, and social networking. Online shopping has boomed both for major retail outlets and small artisans and traders. Business-to-business and financial services on the Internet affect supply chains across entire industries.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a 2009 superhero film distributed by 20th Century Fox, based on the Marvel Comics' fictional character Wolverine. Directed by Gavin Hood and produced by and starring Hugh Jackman, it is the fourth installament in the film seriesX-Men. It co-stars Liev Schreiber, Lynn Collins, Taylor Kitsch, will.i.am, Kevin Durand, Dominic Monaghan, Daniel Henney and Ryan Reynolds. The film is a prequel focusing on the violent past of the mutant Wolverine and his relationship with his half-brother Victor Creed. The plot details Wolverine's childhood as James Howlett (Troye Sivan), his early encounters with Major William Stryker, his time with Team X, and the bonding of Wolverine's skeleton with the indestructible metal adamantium during the Weapon X program.
The film was mostly shot in Australia and New Zealand, with Canada also serving as a location. Production and post-production were troubled, with conflicts arising between director Hood and Fox's executives, and an unfinished workprint being leaked on the Internet one month before the film's debut. X-Men Origins: Wolverine was released worldwide on May 1, 2009, opening at the top of the box office and grossing $179 million in the United States and Canada and over $373 million worldwide.

Viewed head-on, this is deeply flawed; the narrative takes a massive dog-leg halfway through, when the central character - the Professor Challenger of the story - keels over, leaving the fight to his subordinates, until he finally revives, the general tries to shoot him, and the bad guys finally go away. Not outstanding storytelling.

4.0 out of 5 stars "The End of the Beginning",
Bob Marlowe (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Doctor Who - The Tenth Planet [DVD] (DVD)
A very important story for obvious historical reasons; last Hartnell, 1st Cyberman story, the beginning of the Kit Pedler/Gerry Davis writing partnership & 1st regeneration. Is it a good debut for the Cybermen and a good finale for the Billster? To be honest; yes.. and no.
Pedler and Davis (both misspelled for an episode each in the opening credits)delivered a good script with a large flaw but many virtues. The tardis crew turn up at space tracking station at the South Pole (its icy wastes well created for studio and over 40 years ago) just before the appearance of a new planet from which the Cybermen arrive.
Davis the old school dramatist always believed the companions should get a lot to do and go off on their own away from the Doctor at significant moments in the story. This proved to be a virtue given Hartnell's health (absent for an episode) necessitating a rewrite. Polly gets to be the main moral voice of the story berating both Warhorse commander Cutler and the Cybermen as the occasion commands. Anneke Wills does all this brilliantly and really sells it.
Ben played by Michael Craze gets to work out how the Cybermen might be tackled and if you've never particularly noticed Craze's acting before then watch the excellent moment where he conveys disgust at having to kill a cyberman!
A great debut for the Cybermen are characterised here better than in any other story since. They are not belligerent do-badders but they just no longer have or understand emotion.
They are a lot more logical than in some appearances. They offer to save the humans from Earth's expected destruction by taking them back to their planet Mondas but are not going to force them. It will not affect their plans so they let the base crew converse with some doomed astronauts and as Polly berates them for not caring they retort;
"there are people dying all over your world yet you do not care for them!"
How many other scripts give the Cybermen a retort like that?
Now they may look naff in photos but they tower over everyone and are much more impressive moving about onscreen. The only downside is in an attempt to sound inhuman they are given voices that sound Swedish and do not create the menace intended!
FYI the trait associated with 80' stories-vulnerability to their own weapons, actually begins here.
The Cybermen show why Pedler was such a find for Who. He knew a lot of real science & could successfully blend it with a strong imagination e.g. the organic part of the Cybermen is stated here to be their brain which seems plausible but their planet is a twin planet to Earth which is pure SF imagination. He also had a sense of humour nodding at real scientific achievements good and bad by going to the opposite end of the aphabet e.g. Zeus missions instead of Apollo ones and a Z bomb instead of an A Bomb
A good base set looking nice & functional and a the guest cast has 2 standouts- Robert Beatty as the ultra ruthless Cutler and David Doddimead as the sensitive scientist Barclay. Watch also for the marvellous Steve Plytas making a lot out of a small role with Secretary Wigner.
For William Hartnell it's not the best of finale's for a couple of reasons. 1) the Doctor's role and that of his companions is important but not central they have to keep things from escalating as the main threat resolves itself. For spoiler's sakes I won't go into detail but the resolution is a big flaw in an otherwise enjoyable story. 2) This was no one's fault but due to his health he wasn't able to give a strong performance although he does manage a few good moments- asking where their emotions are is one.
The restoration work is again good, I'd never noticed you can just about make out the eyes of the Cybermen actors when I had it one VHS for example.
The same crew who animated 2 eps of Reign of Terror did episode 4 where they were able to be guided by the telesnaps ( check out the telesnap and soundtrack reconstruction made for the VHS release among the extras which also includes some filmed of the telly moments). As a result this is a much better reconstruction combining the facial expressions I believe added a lot to Reign with cutting more suited to the time this was originally made. It's improved the story no end.
The commentary with main contributor Anneke Wills amongst others-notably the 2 doomed astronauts is a good one. Earl Cammeron remembers how comfortable the spacesuits were and Anneke remembers the problems of trying to look cold in fur coat in a hot studio. Shame there is no commentary for ep4.
Frozen Out is a top notch making of doc. Anneke again is the star. She remembers the excitement of Kit Pedler ("A real scientist"), hiow the regeneration went and be warned makes no bones about Hartnell's irascibility and bigotry! Reg Whitehead is wonderfully proud of being the 1st Cyberman "others will say it's them but is isn't!"
Also the original vision mixer tells us how the 1st regenration was done with the help of animation from Quiros (Ice Warriors).
Companion piece is a free ranging look at the companion role with some classic who companions and Arthur Darvill plus some professional fans turned writers (they actually have the most interesting things to say!)
Boys, Boys Boys is the male version of the previous girls features with Peter Purves, Frazer Hines and by satellite Mark Strickson. They're all fun but Frazer is especially entertaining.
There's also some Blue Peter stuff which I think featured on the 3 Doctors releases.
I shamefully neglected to mention this when I first posted the review but there's also a rare interview with William Hartnell, yes a rare opportunity to hear him speak as himself not in character. This is backstage at a pantomime he did not long after leaving Who. It starts part of the way through a discussion about Daleks ( it's explained what we get is all that remains) which Hartnell admits are difficult to work with. It's clear he wasn't thrilled to be in a pantomime and the interviewer failed to make much of a rapport with him. A good insight anyway as Hartnell tactlessly distinguishes between pantomime and "legitimate" acting, makes it clear how much he values an agent ("the last thing I want to do is talk turkey"), says he was a good singer in his youth and has no interest in dancing (interesting in light of Reg Whitehead's memory of him tap dancing in "frozen out")plus had no fears of type casting. A bit of gold dust.
I also shamefully neglected Anneke Will's Doctor Who Stories interview. She recalls enjoying her time on the show and here there are several stories you may have heard before but as ever charmingly told but also less well known anecdotes like her being on a bridge over a canal as a boat passed under occupants shouting for "Polly" to join their party!
Dominic Sandbrook's Golden Age looks at whether there was any such thing as a golden age for the Police Box Show. Of course there isn't e.g., my golden age is Tom Baker's 1st 3 years but it may not be yours. The topic is quite well explored even if the feature could have been a little longer.
An enjoyable story with a packed set of extras, recommended highly.

The Tenth Planet is a key story in the history of Doctor Who. It marks the departure of the original Doctor, William Hartnell, introduces the Cybermen and it is the first "base under siege" story, which would prove to be a staple of the Troughton era, particularly during season 5.
Although they would go on to menace the Doctor right up to the present day, it appears that the Cybermen were created purely as a one-off menace. Visually, of course, they are totally different from their later appearances - with their human hands, cloth covered faces and sing-song voices. On the one hand they look ridiculous, but on the other they are chilling in a way that no other Cybermen would ever be.
Soon, the Cybermen would be just another monster, their only goals being conquest and power. But in The Tenth Planet they merely want to survive - and if that means draining all the energy from the Earth in order to replenish their own planet, Mondas, then that's what they'll do. To them, this is logical, particularly if they can take the humans back to their planet and convert them into Cybermen. Why would anyone object to a life free from pain and disease? Certainly the Cybermen can't think of a reason, but the Doctor and his friends can.
Although William Hartnell didn't want to leave the show, his failing health sadly meant that there wasn't really any alternative. Indeed, a bout of illness meant that he had to be written out of episode 3 at very short notice, a particular problem given Doctor Who's treadmill-like year long production schedule.
But whatever his health issues or his feelings on leaving the part he loved, Hartnell is never anything but totally professional and rock solid. His confrontations with the Cybermen and General Cutler are particular highlights and his new companions, Ben and Polly (Michael Craze and Anneke Wills), provide him with good support.
Although the structure of the story is a little odd - the Cybermen arrive, go away for an episode, come back and then are defeated a little easily - The Tenth Planet, apart from the importance it holds in the history of Doctor Who, is a strong story in its own right, directed with assurance by Derek Martinus.
With the fourth and final episode missing since the 1970's, Planet 55 have re-created it via animation. Their work on Reign of Terror was a little controversial, but this works better and should gain more widespread approval as unlike Reign it sticks more closely to what the episode could have looked like. It's a very impressive effort with some good visual touches.
Toby Hadoke moderates with his usual skill and good-humour the commentary on episodes 1-3 (no commentary on episode 4). Joining him are Anneke Wills (Polly) and designer Peter Kindred, with a generous number of guest actors from the story - Christopher Matthews, Earl Cameron, Alan White, Donald Van Der Maaten and Christopher Dunham. Given that this story was made nearly fifty years ago, it's lovely to have so many participants on this one, particularly Anneke Wills whose love and affection for both the series, and her co-star, the late Michael Craze, still shines brightly.
Elsewhere, there's the Episode 4 telesnap reconstruction that was included on the VHS release. It may have been somewhat superseded by the animation, but it's still nice to have it included. The making of documentary - Frozen Out - has plenty of ground to cover, and is a good watch with Anneke Wills, amongst others, on hand with some interesting anecdotes. The thorny topic of Hartnell's difficult behaviour - both his racist attitudes and his general irritability - isn't shied away from, and there's also some interesting info on how the production coped with a Doctor-shaped hole in episode 3.
There's more of Anneke Wills on Doctor Who stories, which is culled from interview material shot in 2003 for The Story of Doctor Who documentary. Although it's quite short - at around 13 minutes - Wills' joy and enthusiasm make it another treat. She's been sadly under-represented on the DVDs due to the lack of surviving episodes from her time on the show, but with both The Moonbase and The Underwater Menace to come next year, I'm looking forward to spending more time in the company of Ms Wills.
Boys! Boys! Boys! sees Peter Purves, Frazer Hines and Mark Strickson chat about their experiences on the show, and is a jolly little programme. It's a pity that Strickson couldn't have been in the studio with Purves and Hines (instead he appears by satellite) but it's still a very amusing watch as Purves and Hines, in particular, bounce off each other very well.
There's another couple of documentaries, Companion Piece and The Golden Age, a nice piece of archive footage from a 1973 edition of Blue Peter, the usual Photo Gallery and PDF materials, which leaves one more little gem on this DVD - an interview with William Hartnell shot shortly after he left Doctor Who.
Filmed in his dressing room whilst preparing for a panto appearance, at times the short interview finds him in a prickly mood, dismissing pantomime as not being "legitimate theatre" for example. This is the only on-screen Hartnell interview that exists and it was only recently rediscovered - and it's wonderful to have a brief glimpse of Hartnell, the man.
So not only is The Tenth Planet a very solid story it also has a high quality package of special features that make this DVD a must buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Cybermen from Mondas,
Paul Tapner (poole dorset england) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Doctor Who - The Tenth Planet [DVD] (DVD)
William Hartnell's final Doctor Who story comes to dvd. A two disc set with the episodes and some extras on disc one, and more extras on the second.
Originally broadcast in 1966, the Tenth Planet had four twenty five minute long black and white episodes. As with a lot of the 1960's stories, this one is incomplete. But where many had episodes wiped which the BBC thought they'd never need again, the last part of this one was lent to the Blue Peter office in 1973. And it ever came back. Nobody knows what happened. Only the last moments - since they were used in a Blue Peter feature, survive.
This has two versions of part four, though. One reconstructed using the soundtracks and photos from the episode. And one using the soundtrack plus animation for the visuals. Opinions on the quality of animation are subjective, but let's just say this doesn't have the rapid editing of one recent effort, or the seemingly simple figures of another, so it shouldn't meet with any disapproval.
The Tenth Planet see the Doctor, plus companions Ben and Polly, visit a polar base in 1986. Just as a strange planet fills the Earth sky. And strange silver humanoids arrive from it. Earth's long lost twin planet has returned. And it's inhabitants want to ensure it survives. By whatever means necessary.
The Cybermen have appeared. The show, and the Doctor, will never be the same again.
The Tenth Planet has a very different feel to some of what has gone before. It tries hard to create an international setting, and does this pretty well. With people from different countries at the base and scenes from around the world. It's a prototype for the base under siege story the show would often go on to do. With monsters attacking humans at a remote location and the Doctor and friends being caught in the middle between military minds wanting to shoot first and scientists trying to stop them.
The Cybermen are very different in style to what they've been like since. They look like humans who have undergone a lot of surgery rather than brains in silver casings. They also have highly distinctive sing song voices. Which once heard are never forgotten.
William Hartnell's health of the time means he is rather immobilised for a lot of this, and absent for all of part three. With Polly being left to put the kettle on Ben [Michael Craze] has to carry a lot of the story himself. He does this superbly well. Ben being an ordinary human in an impossible situation who the moral strength and determination to do the right thing. It's a great story for him. Even if, after seeing Cybermen being gunned down and gold plated with no compunction in 1980's stories, it's strange to see people here get broken hearted about having to hurt them.
A memorable story for the style, the setting, the monsters, and an ending which defined so much of what to come. It's worth five stars.
The dvd has the following language and subtitle options:
Languages: English.
Subtitles: English.
It's also English audio captioned.
Disc one also contains:
A commentary from a lot of the cast plus one of the crew.
The radio times listings for the story as a PDF file.
A photo gallery of stills from the story and it's production.
A trailer for an upcoming release in this dvd range [in this case the second Doctor story the Moonbase].
Production information subtitles.
And a making of documentary. This one runs for twenty eight minutes. A lot of this is reminiscences from Anneke Wills, who played Polly. She is a very good interviewee with lots to say about the story and her working relationship with William Hartnell so this is very good viewing. She and other interviewees do paint an interesting picture of a man who clearly had a lot on his mind and a lot of mood swings.
Disc two has:
An interview with William Hartnell. Three minutes worth of recently found footage from a local BBC programme who interviewed him when he was in panto later in the year. Not all the interview survives, and some of it lacks any sound. But as pretty much the only interview there is with him from the time, it's fascinating viewing.
There's also:
Doctor Who stories: Anneke Wills. This is more footage shot for a 2003 documentary on the show. It runs for twelve minutes. As with the making of, she's a very good interviewee with lots to say so it's a good watch.
Boys, boys, boys. Runs for eighteen minutes and follows the style of other extras on recent releases in getting companion actors together and letting them chat about their experiences. In this case it's male actors though. Thus Peter Purves, Frazer Hines and Mark Strickson are allowed to reminiscence for eighteen minutes. The loose format of this does allow for some good chat.
Companion piece runs for twenty five minutes and has actors - from the old and new series - who have played companions talk about their experiences and why the show needs such characters. The fast pace of this makes for an entertaining watch.
The Golden Age runs for fifteen minutes and is just one person talking to camera, on how people perceive different eras of the show to have been better than others. And how the memory cheats. This is thought provoking viewing and well argued making it well worth a watch.
Blue Peter is the piece Blue Peter did on Doctor Who in 1973 to celebrate Doctor's Who tenth year. It runs for nine minutes and will appeal to those who grew up on the programme.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent DVD that will help complete your collection!,
Mr. Stephen Redman (York England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Doctor Who - The Tenth Planet [DVD] (DVD)
Fans have waited years for this four episode set. Episode 3 is still missing and believed lost forever so it has been animated an matched with the original audio recording. This is a good result and it enables the whole story to be watched in its intended glory.
This is particularly special as it is the first outing of the Cybermen, and the last story featuring William Hartnell. Episode 4 features the first ever regeneration and for that reason alone this is a collectors item. A second DVD is included in the set packed full of special features.
This story was one I originally remember watching from behind the settee and unlike some it has kept its fear factor reasonably well. The setting in snow has made it very easy to keep the suspense.
An excellent Dr Who adventure!

4.0 out of 5 stars excellent,
This review is from: Doctor Who - The Tenth Planet [DVD] (DVD)
The tenth planet is a fantastic story. Well worth 5 stars in its own right. The story itself is essentially about the means civilisations and individuals will go to to survive. Mondas, the home world of the cybermen is on the verge of destruction, having had all its resources used up. The cybermen's invasion of Earth is part of a quest to survive. The story is very compact in that it only uses a very small area of the world, but it still manages to feel as though things are happening on a larger scale. Of course the effects are limited, with the filming having been done in 1966, but the story still feels convincing even whilst you do realise the cybermen are 'just a man in a suite'.
However I have too issues with the DVD itself, which lost the 5 star rating for me.
Firstly, I found the DVD rather difficult to navigate if I wanted to watch a particular episode. In a normal series DVD, they have straightforward links to each episode. However this felt like a VHS tape had been copied onto a DVD instead.
Secondly, the quality of the animation in the 4th episode is terrible. It had an almost comic book feel to it.
But other than that, an excellent edition to the collection of any Whovian.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nine out of ten planets can't be wrong,
This review is from: Doctor Who - The Tenth Planet [DVD] (DVD)
One of those mythical adventures in the Who canon, 'The Tenth Planet' has two things going for it - the first appearance of the Cybermen and the original regeneration. The 'base under siege' plotline that would come to the fore during the Troughton and Pertwee eras debuts here and evokes a suitably claustrophobic atmosphere that the monochrome picture seems to intensify. The Cybermen themselves are uniquely creepy in this story, with their cloth faces, blacked-out eyes and disembodied 'telephone answer machine' speech patterns, less robotic than they quickly became and still possessing recognisably human qualities as though their transformation were still midway through the process.
The knowledge that this story was to be William Hartnell's swan-song hangs over events and it's hard for the viewer's attention to veer far from him, searching for signs of his impending end; some carefully-placed enigmatic lines and Hartnell's accidental absence from episode three due to genuine illness actually work in preparing the viewer for the story's climax. That we are denied this climax in full is naturally something of a disappointment, but thanks to 'Blue Peter' we do at least have the regeneration itself, and the animated episode four as well as the photographic reconstruction do a decent job in the absence of the real thing. Ben and Polly continue to impress as companions, with Hartnell's abrupt disappearance midway through the story providing them with extra dialogue and fleshing out their characters nicely, emphasising once again what a shame it is that more of their stories haven't survived.
Anyway, it's great for me to finally see this story after making do with photos all these years, and unless episode four turns up in Darkest Africa, this DVD is as good a package as we could hope for.
3.0 out of 5 stars King Gama,
Alex Lyon (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Doctor Who - The Tenth Planet [DVD] (DVD)
Viewed head-on, this is deeply flawed; the narrative takes a massive dog-leg halfway through, when the central character - the Professor Challenger of the story - keels over, leaving the fight to his subordinates, until he finally revives, the general tries to shoot him, and the bad guys finally go away. Not outstanding storytelling.
Mondas is not a coherent threat; let's get this straight - it is draining energy how? There's no real answer - it's doing it by magic, isn't it? And the solution to magic is, well, more magic, which is pretty much what happens - Mondas eats too much energy and dies - it's not really thought through beyond 'keep the story going and they won't notice it doesn't make sense'.
Another problem is that the ideas are way, way bigger than the budget - this is a story of space rockets, secret bases in Antarctica, another planet, alien creatures and global disaster, and the BBC didn't have anything like the resources to spare to tell that story. While the snow set is commendable (apart from the flapping trapdoor), the control room doesn't have the scale, and nor does Wigner's office. The reactor room in Episode 4 looks the business, however.
For all that, it is a good yarn told with good spirit. While one can sardonically question the wisdom of whoever it was appointed Cutler in the first place, Robert Beatty plays him very well; I'm convinced by the man if not by the job title. The multi-ethnic crew works well, and nobody's accent seems to creak (so good to see Earl Cameron as Williams), but it's re-assuring to know there's an Englishman among them - Doctor Barclay is to be relied upon for a stiff upper lip and a well-presented cardigan - there is a particularly Quatermass-ish feel to this version of 1986.
But the stars of the show are the Cybermen - and what a design! They do look quite properly weird - other-worldly - but are they a credible threat? Not sure - I'd like to see one laugh off a machine gun - not that they do laugh, of course. For creatures governed by logic, there is a cobbled-together quality to them - and it is all credit to the performances and the direction that they're not funny. I'm not sure how logical design has produced guns that look like electric fires either.
And I like the way that when they speak, that weird sing-song Peter Hawkins/Roy Skelton voice issues from a wide open mouth with no visible articulation going on - they are menacing, but much more, just plain weird. (It's a pity that the 'Parka's they disguise themselves in do not in any way make them look like anything other than Cybermen).
The animated Episode Four is lovely (I especially like the silhouette Cybermen) but, all budgetary considerations aside, it's a story that succeeds almost in spite of its star - unwell for the first two episodes, absent for the third, and only half there for the fourth; this is not a great curtain call for William Hartnell.
'He could be a bit difficult to work with' is a refrain generally followed with 'but he was a marvellous actor' but rarely by an explanation of what made him so prickly; what emerges in The Making Of is a picture of a man enraged at Anno Domini and his own failing powers - showing off his tap dancing to Reg Whitehead comes across as maladroit at the very best - at worst peevish - and the dressing room interview shows a man untouchably convinced of his own professional prowess.
I'm glad it wasn't me working with him.

5.0 out of 5 stars My re-evaluation of an important Classic Who story,
Adie Barrett (Hampshire, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Doctor Who - The Tenth Planet [DVD] (DVD)
Having experienced only a few B&W era Who stories, but mainly loved the colour series from Jon Pertwee onwards, I underestimated both Hartnell's and Troughton's Doctor Who stories until actually seeing them in a fresh light allowed me to re-evaluate anew and mentally file their stories within the Who canon as a whole. "The Tenth Planet" is no exception. It works as the basis of "station under siege", a nod towards the Second Doctor's era oh-so-close, but yet-to-arrive tenure when this story was transmited back in 1966. As a genuine Moonbase would be small and cramped in any era, the less room for manoeuvre in the limits of the studio-bound story with actually works to the claustrophobic advantage of "The Tenth Planet".
Forgiving any shortcomings in the original outfits is a must, and trying to view as if seeing them for the first time, the Cybermen are truly creepy creations, just as they would have been to the viewer way back in the less-enlightened times of 1966. The Daleks were one thing; this is something that not only looked humanoid, it also moved and talked. And they are not robots, they were once human. It's that same feeling I get from seeing a ventriloquist's dummy coming to life ("Dead Of Night"), then cross that with a faceless Cybernaut killer robot for good measure. (Did I say 'Cybernaut'? Quick - gloss over any similarities.) You can feel that something may be alive inside, but cannot see it to understand. Creepy.
With the then-new knowledge of how the Cybermen evolved and developed, discarding their emotions along the way, that facet alone makes for interesting exchanges in dialogue which, having been well covered in other reviews I need not repeat here. That they are doing what they are is for a reason - self preservation - and not just some kind of "let's go and invade somewhere today 'cos we can" type whim. Just surviving out there in the cold, hard Universe is something amazing, an angle that gets more and more forgotten as time and ever-more fantastical sci-fi storytelling develops. Nu-Who take note.
This is a generous two-disk set. The story itself is on disc one, and having only seen the grainy VHS before, viewing this story on DVD for the first time was a pleasant surprise. The picture quality on the three existing episodes is amazing, and have been restored as much as possible to appear as they would have done back in 1966. That this could only be done on the first three of the four episodes makes it all the more sad that the pivotal episode four is still missing as of December 2013. The final part has been put together as an animation using the original soundtrack, which is very good with a lot of thought gone into it. Just be prepared to get into it though, for the motions of characters are a little different to those seen in the first three extant episodes. As far as the Cybermen's 'past-human' cold characters go, it actually helps. The usual informative text information is here, plus entertaining commentary with Anneke Wills, Earl Cameron and designer Peter Kindred amongst others, with Toby Hadoke doing the moderating.
Also on disc one is "Frozen Out" is the 'making of' feature, and there are Radio Times listings (DVD-ROM only), a Photo gallery and a 'Coming soon' trailer. Pick of the crop for me is the 'official' episode 4 reconstruction, as featured on the VHS release back in 2000. Telesnap reconstructions are something Who fans are familiar with via unofficial fan ventures but it was the first and remains the only full-length official BBC reconstruction of its type. Sad, because if the animated episode leaves you cold, try watching this instead as the use of screengrabs from that missing episode stands up rather well and includes all clips including that all-important regeneration scene in full.
Disc two is packed with gems as well, including all that's left of the recently-recovered, only surviving interview with William Hartnell. This was when he was in pantomime after he left Doctor Who in 1966. "Doctor Who Stories focusses on Anneke Wills as Polly, from an an interview recorded for "The Story of Doctor Who" back in 2003. "The Golden Age" examines the myth of the first 'Golden Age' of Doctor Who. Peter Purves, Frazer Hines and Mark Strickson entertain us with recollections of ther tim in the show in "Boys! Boys! Boys!", while in "Companion Piece" is all about what bing a Time Lord's fellow traveller means. "Blue Peter: Doctor Who's Tenth Anniversary" comes from Blue Peter. That that show's producer Biddy Baxter notoriously refused to junk any editions of her show is something Who fans have long been grateful for, as this particular item preserved that first regenration scene, after which TP episode 4 strangely disappeared. I hope it was only taken for 'safekeeping' somewhere by a fan aware of its importance and will one day be rediscovered and returned.
Footnote - after having seen the remarkable "An Adventure In Space And Time" covering William Hartnell's era, "The Tenth Planet" has taken on more than being just a Doctor Who story. It brought to a close a string of stories with an actor who it is apparent not only loved the show, but believed in it by the time his health was failing. As well as all the other reasons why this stroy is important, knowing more about the background story better made it more important to me too, and increased my viewing pleasure.

3.0 out of 5 stars Journeys End & New Beginnings,
Timelord-007 (The Eccentric Wanderer) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Doctor Who - The Tenth Planet [DVD] (DVD)
1)William Hartnells final story as The Doctor.
2)Snowy landscape adds tension to the story.
3)The Cybermens first adventure.
4)The first Regeneration of the Doctor.
William Hartnell looks tired & quite ill in his final story & isn't given a lot to do.
The Cybermen voices are awful, They speak out of sync like a dubbed Hong Kong Martial Arts film.
The end & the moments been prepared for but in 1966 was the audience??,Doctor Who was about to change completely, So would viewers be excepting in a change of lead actor???, Well considering Doctor Who's 50 this year it appears the audience were excepting of the change.
Nothing like this was ever attempted before, Usually a actor would say he'd had enough of a part leave & be replaced by someone else playing that part.
Never changing a actors appearance in a show infront of a audiences eyes & having a new actor portray the characters personality completely different from what's gone before, But at the end this story that's exactly what happens, Change my dear & it seems not a moment to soon.
The Doctor, Ben, Polly arrive in the Tardis in the South Pole there they enter a Artic base.
There General Cutler is trying help a man made capule that's having difficulty in landing.
Eventually landing these inhabitants from Mondas the earths twin planet soon make their intentions clear.
There's now a new enemy lurking in the snow a enemy that will become one of the Doctor's greatests enemys, The Cybermen a race from earths twin planet Mondas who want to drain all power from earth to revive Mondas so there race can rule supreme.
In there First appearance the Cybermen look quite poor from there masked faces not armoured yet, To their silly sounding voices which dont come over threatening or menacing as this is due to being voiced by Roy Skelton who provided some Dalek voices in the classic era, But here Skelton voice acting just doesn't do the Cybermen justice instead of sounding threatening or menacing he makes them sound like Robotic campness with William Shatner pauses.
It wouldn't be until there second adventure The Moonbase that the Cybermen would become the threatening Cybermen we know now know there capable of.
In this there first adventure they don't bring the menace of future storys & surprising that they returned to the series judging them on this story, Although it's nice to finally have there first story on dvd at last.
The Doctor also appears to take a more supporting role in this story but this is more likely due to Hartnells poor declining health than the script, Hartnell looks quite ill throughout the production of this story but should have shown him participating in at least bringing down the Cybermen.
The regeneration is triggered due to old age with a "This old bodys of mine is wearing a bit thin" quote it just happens without warning fiddling with the Tardis controls then collapsing.
It's here we sense a telepathic link with the Doctor & his Tardis sensing that the Tardis helps with the Doctor's regeneration.
Episode 4 is mostly animated although the live action regeneration that footage exist is seamlessly blended excellently into the episode.
On the extras you get a making of documentary that Anneke Wills discusses William Harnells appauling behaviour to black actor's showing no respect which shocked me as I wouldn't have thought William Hartnell would ever behave in such a unprofessional manner & should have shown more respect for his acting peers.
A recently found rare William Hartnell interview were ge seems quite arrogant but I put this down to his unhappiness of being let go from the show he loved.
A great Commentary by the surviving cast & crew, Photo gallery & trailer round thing's off on this 2 dvd release.
This is a worthy release for Doctor Who fan's & we get to see the Final William Hartnell story in superb dvd restoration via animation at last.
