The VHS range was coming to an end when the DVD range started. I faced the grim reality that my VHS collection would need to go to make way for the inevitable gathering of the new digital video format.
Fortunately, Tenth Planet was doing signings for new DVD releases also, and I started buying my DVDs from them at the same time as I was completing my VHS collection. As with the VHS covers, I was lucky enough to be able to purchase just the signed DVD covers from previous signings for the same outrageous price of £2 per cover.

My first Tenth Planet DVD was Resurrection of the Daleks, and I continued to buy my DVDs from them until they sadly stopped having an online store to focus on Doctor Who Events (such as Time Quest 2). All in all I collected 32 signed DVD covers, many signed by actors now no longer with us (Nicholas Courtney, Caroline John, Kate O'Mara, Peter Miles, Peter Halliday, Michael Sheard etc).

It was a sad day when Tenth Planet stopped selling signed DVDs. I moved on to Amazon.co.uk and started saving some money instead.
For one last hurrah, I recently bought the final DVD to be released to complete the "Classic Range" from Anneke Wills' website, along with a bonus signed photo, which arrived at the office today.
