I'm afraid I didn't. I've only seen recons of Episodes 1-4; the rest I've only got the photonovel, the fragments available in the DVD extras, and the script for. But oh, that script. I'm still upset that I can't hear the lines being spoken, but the script's a thing of beauty.

That's because it's David Whitaker. The man writes dialog worthy of the gods. Dude.

One of my top five favorite Doctor Who series ever is "The Crusade", also written by Whitaker. Because ZOMG TEH WRITING. It's gorgeous! *wibble*

*makes note to see The Crusade* Man, I've got some serious One-watching to do. Is The Crusade complete/on DVD? Because I feel like I should see what I can of One before I start moving on to the later Doctors.

The Crusade complete/on DVD?

Complete? No, unfortunately. It's a four parter, of which only half exists. Episodes 1 and 3 exist, 2 and 4 don't. However to cushion this there is an audio narrated by William Russell, reconstructions and a excellent novelization written by Whitaker himself. (A extremely Ian/Barbara shippy novelization I might add... God, I love this man. *fangirls Whitaker*)

On DVD? Yep! Both existing eps - as well as the linking narration William Russell did for the VHS release - are on the Lost in Time set. :)

Because I feel like I should see what I can of One before I start moving on to the later Doctors.

How much of One have you seen? I'll happily give recommendations. :)

Excellent! I happen to have the Lost in Time DVDs within easy reach. My evening viewing, consider it selected. :D And while I've not read any of the novelizations thus far, this seems like a good place to start.

At the moment, I've seen very little of One - I've read the script for and seen the surviving episode of The Celestial Toymaker, and out of the complete serials I've seen An Unearthly Child and The Aztecs; I've got War Machines cued up. That's about it, really. *smiles shyly*

Yay! It's very character-driven, with tons of great dialog and Julian Glover and Jean Marsh being awesome. I think you'll enjoy it. :)

One recs: Hmmm... Dalek Invasion of Earth is an excellent one, one of Terry Nation's better Dalek scripts IMO. That one's on DVD too. Oh, and I must recommend The Romans! Sadly not on DVD, but it's so worth hunting for. Highly entertaining. :D

I'm only one episode in to The Crusade, and already I am in love with the First Doctor and his clothing-thieving ways. Also, Vicki is adorable, and I really rather like Sir William. So yes, I am enjoying it greatly.

*marks down names* I've got The Dalek Invasion of Earth on my Blockbuster queue (I've been meaning to see it anyway), so I'll get to that first, probably. Thank you for the recs!
