DAPHNE ASHBROOK IN THE UK
When DOCTOR WHO returned in 1996 for a big budget TV Movie, actress DAPHNE ASHBROOK faced the challenge of reinterpreting the classic companion figure for a modern audience.

Fang Rock and Axos DVDs Confirmed - Updated
Friday, 17 September 2004 - Reported by Shaun Lyon
The first UK DVD of 2005, due for release in January, will be the Fourth Doctor serial Horror of Fang Rock, starring Tom Baker and Louise Jameson, according to the Galaxy 4 web shop today. Outpost Gallifrey can confirm that this is indeed next year's first UK release (as I didn't want to spoil anything until word had been sent from Worldwide to retailers.) Meanwhile, as expected, the Third Doctor serial The Claws of Axos will be released in the UK in March; we'd previously reported on this when Roadshow in Australia confirmed it for release there in April.
Update 17 Sep, 2045 GMT: Outpost Gallifrey has learned that The Claws of Axos will not be out in March, but is rather the third release of 2005, likely due in May. Of course it's unlikely that the purported April release in Australia would be out earlier than the UK version so that will likely be pushed back to later in the year. We'll keep you posted on what the March release will be when we have more information.
