Vote Saxon DVD!

Don’t I just wish I lived in Britain where I could order through amazon.co.uk a special lenticular cover with John Simm as the Master holding a “Saxon is your Man” poster that turns into “I Am The Master”. Awesome stuff.

It’s interesting how in Britain the DVD releases have been very happy to milk John Simm’s role on Who for the DVD releases whereas in North America we have the Doctor and Martha. It’s a sign of how big a casting coup Simm playing the Master was to British audiences!

They’ve had “Life on Mars” here - to have the lead actor in a role as big as The Master in “Doctor Who”, I would have thought we’d be able to have John Simm on the DVD covers. And this clearly demonstrates I suppose the role that he’s to play in the next episodes, and that he has played throughout the series so far.

I thought John Simm was brilliant in “Utopia”, even if he was only onscreen for seconds. I’m looking forward to seeing his portrayal of the Master on Monday, and that he managed to shake off the ego of Sam Tyler in seconds.

You can order it, can’t you?  I ordered all the ‘vanilla’ DW PAL dvds from amazon.co.uk, plus a number of other things and I’ve had no problem with getting them here to Canada.

I ordered Season 2 & Season 3 from Amazon.co.uk with all the special DVD covers and I live in New York.  To watch them I have an All region DVD player and have watched them on my computer with no problems.
