Bootleg Corner
One of the bootleg Eleventh Hour boxed sets has come my way. I won’t say how – it’s not a trade I’m here to encourage – but it wasn’t difficult to get hold of. At first glance the Chinese DVD packaging is way more attractive than the ‘official’ version, though on closer inspection it’s hilarious.…

Eleventh Hour on DVD
Danny Cannon dropped by my office this morning and mentioned that the Eleventh Hour DVD boxed set is now scheduled for October 2009 release. Danny’s had a hand in the presentation and the quality specs, so technically the set should be well up to snuff. I Googled to see if any public announcement had been…
