Have seen The Five Doctors a thousand million times and it never fails to make me flail with glee. Things which especially popped out on this viewing:
* Putting Five and One together for so much of it was a bloody masterstroke.
* I still really like the Raston Warrior Robot and its enthusiastic gay jumping.
* If anyone ever tries to suggest that the Master does not want to shag the Doctor, show them the scene where the High Council explain their 'plan'. The man is drooling, I tell you, drooling! (Though he has naff all chemistry with Three: suppose Fancy Pants only goes for Delgado!Master.)
* Special edition = teh suXXor. The extra doomy ceiling in Rassilon's chamber is quite good. The swirly cone thing is not. And I swear, according to my 8-year-old brain, that at the end, in the One True Version, the TARDIS did a repeated dematerialisation thing which was awesome. (I may be wrong about this: when I was 8 I liked Roland Rat and therefore am an unreliable witness.)
* Zoe's dress doesn't look like bubble-wrap. It is bubble-wrap. Did she wear bubble-wrap in the original series?
* The minute he gets to Gallifrey, Fivey puts on a phenomenal amount of eyeliner. He clearly ran away to escape his inner tranny.
* That bit where there are loads of Cybermen on a hill and no one notices them for ages is arse.
* I slightly hate Sarah. *ducks*
* One appears to not even slightly recognise the Master, which buggers up all thoughts that Koschei resembles the beardy velvety-gloved one. Poop.
* OMG so much hand!porn at the beginning. And how unspeakably brilliant is the bit where One orders Tegan off to make tea, and Fivey sends Turlough too?
* Green & Black's Hazelnut and Currant Dark Chocolate is rather wonderful. (Not technically part of the viewing experience, but highly recommended.)
Think Captain Tight-Pants might have to wait till tomorrow: I have an urge to iconify some high-res handporn.

I honestly don't know what the best bit is about this commentary. Terrance Dicks is an absolute legend. He seems to spend the entire time going "this is rubbish, I didn't write that bit" and slagging off the whole thing generally (but in a very nice way). His opinions of the special effects are fantastic as well. I miss the black triangles :(
I don't know how many versions of the 5 Doctors there are, so I don't know how Rassilon's voice is in the others. In my video copy of it, he's absolutely hilariously camp, and on the
downloadedother version, they've lowered his voice, so he's nowhere near as camp. Was quite disappointed really. I quite want 5 doctors on DVD, but I want the original version AND the spectacular commentary, so I might have to wait a bit. *sigh*
