Doctor Who relaunch on VHS - cancelled!

You may recall some covers I posted for some early Doctor Who DVDs late last year.

It appears that my post was a little premature - particularly the footnote regarding the re-launch of the Doctor Who VHS range in 2005. 

I've uncovered some material from the BBC Branding and Exploitation Archive in Taunton which throws a little more light on the abandoned project. 

No other material exists other than a handful of cover proofs and a copy of a trade ad. 

I tried phoning Ken Barlow about his participation but the lady at the Granada Television switchboard told me to 'piss off' in a rather broad Mancunian accent. 

Charming...!!
