I have tons of Doctor Who stories on VHS which I bought and paid for. 
When is the BBC going to upgrade them to Blu-Ray?

Wrong, well I can't play Blu-Rays since I don't have a player. I have 
the stories on VHS. Not sure if I can still play those either, but I'm

Child monster is removed from canon.

pockets by getting people to buy the Blu-Rays?
