Finally got my Doctor Who season two DVD set!
I know the DVDs just came out yesterday in Canada, but they've been out in the U.S. since January. And yay for me, my mom bought them for me as a late Christmas gift. Score! Haven't watched much yet due to homework, but I did listen to the commentary for School Reunion, one of the best new Doctor Who episodes in my opinion. Can't go wrong with having two old companions show up and Tony Head playing the bad guy.
But an interesting tidbit popped during the commentary. At one point they mention how far behind schedule they became with this episode. This prompted David Tennant to ask Tony Head on set how they managed to film 22 episodes for Buffy in the same amount of time Doctor Who takes to film 13 eps. I can't remember all of what David said, but he did say that Tony told him that for one episode of Buffy they filmed all day and all night until they got the ep done. 22-23 hours of shooting or something. Huh? When did this happen? This is news to me. Did this happen while they were filming Once More, With Feeling or maybe one of the finales?
I'm probably going to save watching the DVDs for when my reading break rolls around. Got enough distractions as it is. :D
