Love me some Sarah Jane!

US releases lag by what typically? 6 months?

Preorder is up at Amazon. No date yet. https://a.co/d/7ucsWL7

Along with the Tom Baker set I hope we get a Matt Smith Years set like the Eccelston/Tennent set from October of last year.

Yeah, it's always confused me why the Smith era hadn't been recently rereleased on Blu-ray (I know a set came out a while back, but it's OOP and insanely over-priced in comparison to the Eccleston/Tennant, Capaldi, and Whittaker sets. I am surprised, given the (seeming) popularity of #11 that he didn't rank his own complete works set like the others have.

Looks like the Tom Baker Season Two set in the US is January 6th.

While Tennant was my first Doctor the one I watched from beginning to end while it was airing on BBC America was Matt Smith. So I have a soft spot for his run. Now that I’ve watched more Classic Who he reminds me of Patrick Troughton. I can’t wait to get his seasons when the BBC gets around to those seasons from what I’ve watched of his era he was imo a great Doctor.

Matt Smith deliberately based his performance on Patrick Troughton, IIRC. I quite enjoyed Matt's era - there are certain moments where he definitely captures the "old soul in a young body" quite well.

Smith was brilliant. Probably the high water mark of the new series.
