Wonder if it’ll include the Christmas special.

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing, but I can't imagine it won't. Amazon lists the set as having seven discs, which seems like a lot for the eight episodes of Season One. If you include last December's Christmas special, that's still only nine episodes over seven discs, which would leave room for plenty of extras. No idea if they're making lots of extras, but it would be fun if they did.

Not sure how this could count as series one, it's 14, or the 40th.

They’re treating it like a soft reboot since Disney+ is involved and doesn’t have the pre-60th episodes.

Ooof - the prices are a bit steep for 8 or 9 episodes

[Confessor]

That price point is madness. Will hold out and see what's included before pre-ordering. Annoying that there is no 4K release slated.

About standard pricing for 2020s physical media.

Steelbook is £10 more than the Andor Steelbook which is the nearest recent equivalent for episode count and length.

It took them ages just to get lossless audio.

DTS HR wasn't that bad on paper, mind, with a possible data rate of up to of 6mb/s for BD. It was unfairly set upon in the desire to have everything lossless (myself included). I'm now much more forgiving of lossy but perceptually lossless codecs. It's not like they had DD 448 or something.

True, the BBC did cap DTS-HR lower than they needed to. Looking up Who series 5, they capped it at 2mb/s is is barely better than old skool DTS. But it's still way higher than streaming is now.

Is there no page for this on the site? I've just pre-ordered it and can't find it to add to my pre-orders in my collection.

OP has been updated to reflect what the Amazon UK description now says:

This brand new season release includes:

• Complete Season 1 episodes - Space Babies, The Devil's Chord, Boom, 73 Yards, Dot and Bubble, Rogue, The Legend of Ruby Sunday, Empire of Death
• Christmas Special 2023 - The Church on Ruby Road
• Accompanying Unleashed episodes
• Exclusive special features

Nice to get confirmation that The Church on Ruby Road is part of the set!

[Murray Futterman]

Seriously though, why is there still no page for this release in the database? (I'd add it myself but, er, I don't know how to.) It's up on Amazon UK.

[Network23]

hope we here something soon, Stateside we are still waiting for 60th Ann special to be released as well.
