Open Wallet D. Solo here...

Good Lord, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. DVDs are finally here, and they are not fucking around.

The question is -- is it worth $250 to FINALLY be able to finish a vid I've had plotted out since 1996 and 1/3 done on VHS (from ye olde VCR-to-VCR vidding days) since 1998?

Oh, and of course, have the show on DVD (omg look at the packaging and the extras....) Interviews with both Robert Vaughn and David McCallum, 10 hours of on-set footage shot by McCallum himself, the "Solo" pilot, in color, the Emmy and Golden Globe broadcasts (omg I remember one MediaWestCon, sitting in a room full of MFU fans, watching a grainy copy of Vaughn and McCallum at the 1966 Globes accepting for Best Show, walking up to the stage hand-in-hand).

Can I somehow justify this as a necessary purchase for graduate school?

So... London, anyone?

Next year, David Tennant is taking on Hamlet at the RSC. Reason enough for any Doctor Who Ten fan to make the trip, yes?

Now add this tidbit - Patrick Stewart will be playing Claudius.

London, anyone?
