Just discovered BBC Shop actually does have it for £38.99. Sounds fine to me!

Well there you go, next time they offer a voucher it will only be a little over £35

BBC shop has had exclusives for the last couple of series, I wonder if they'll do anything this time? It doesn't look good for next year if they're including this year's Christmas Special. If he can't make a series every year because he's too busy with Sherlock or whatever, Moffat should return to writing and the series be placed in the hands of someone competent.

I think we'd have gotten it in here anyway, regardless of when the next series may start - the Chrstmas special has always been included in the next boxset to be released after it's aired so this fits the usual pattern - it's just a bonus that the boxset being released after Christmas means we get it included in here. For Moffat's series the Christmas special always feels like it belongs to the series preceding it rather than the one following it anyway - especially here before get a fresh start with a new companion - so it's worked out pretty well.

Yeah, I think you're right. Since they started airing the whole season in the autumn without any mid-season breaks the Christmas special now feels like it should be included at the end of the preceding series rather than at the start of the next.

I think they realise this which is why we are getting last years and this years Christmas special in the series 9 set to catch up. Starting with the series 10 set they'll probably include all 12 episodes plus the 2016 Special.

Day 1 for me! Hopefully the price will drop by then.

I was worried they weren't going to release a complete series. It seems like a good set and really glad they've bundled in two Christmas specials too.
