We're talking about a BBC Worldwide Doctor Who release. Of course there'll be disc problems!

All but confirmed a couple of month back but nice to have our presumptions confirmed. Certainly more interested in this than season 12. Enough to buy it? Not sure. However roll on seasons 7-10 and 25-26, and whatever they do with the Troughton years.

I'd guess that they'll hold off on Troughton and Hartnell as long as possible.

Hartnell in particular - if Phil manages to turn up Marco (which is always one of the persistent rumoured finds) then you're only missing a couple of episodes from the first series (The Reign of Terror). Similar, series two - Only two episodes missing, from The Crusade, which is another popular rumoured find, so if they turn up at some point then you'd conceivably get a full series two release.

I don't know whether WW actually know what Phil has or not, but I can see them steering clear of the first two Doctors for a while, particularly seeing as they have plenty of later Doctors to get through first, and at two releases per year, it'll be some time before they're done with them.

I believe the Restoration Team said they could handle 3 of these BD collections a year. Remember they are working on them in their spare time as they all have day jobs. I guess we only saw 2 this year as they only started in Summer.

We should see next around Easter and then summer and Christmas.

Still looking at 8-9 years for the whole lot assuming BD stays that long and they don't merge some of the early series because of missing episodes and they don't have the money to animate what is missing.

It also gives them more time for animations, with Macra Terror strongly rumoured to be coming later this year.

This and any other other missing episodes turning up is all I'm interested in now.

Another set I must get. Love Nyssa. Even after all these years, Sarah has remained spectacularly beautiful. How does she do it?

BBC Studios announces Peter Davison’s inaugural series as the next installment in the DOCTOR WHO: THE COLLECTION Blu-ray range. The Blu-ray will be released on the 19th November and pre-order will open on Amazon and HMV tomorrow Wednesday 22nd August.

Today BBC Studios is pleased to announce Doctor Who Season 19 as the next release in the Doctor Who: The Collection range. Season 19 is Peter Davison’s first series as the Fifth Doctor and this edition follows the success of Tom Baker’s first season on Blu-ray. To be released on the 19th November 2018, this collector’s edition also has a limited run.

The title will be available to pre-order from HMV and Amazon from tomorrow.

Peter Davison joined the long running BBC series in 1982, replacing Tom Baker as the Doctor. His first season bursts with the fresh energy and breathless excitement that would come to define his era. Across seven classic adventures, the Doctor and his companions Tegan, Nyssa and Adric face off against The Master, the terrifying Mara, the Terileptils, the Plasmatons, Monarch and the revamped Cybermen, making a triumphant return to the series in one of the programme’s all-time classics.

The Limited Edition Blu-ray includes brand new ‘Special Features’ exclusive to this set include: Five new ‘Making-Of’ documentaries for Castrovalva, Four To Doomsday, Black Orchid, Earthshock and Time-Flight, surround sound mixes for Kinda and Earthshock, an Extended Version of Black Orchid Part One, rare studio footage from Castrovalva, Four To Doomsday, Earthshock and Time-Flight, updated special effects for Castrovalva, seven more editions of Behind The Sofa and a newly-shot one-hour interview Peter Davison In Conversation with Matthew Sweet, and much more.

The eight-disc box set also includes the Peter Davison/David Tennant mini-episode Time Crash, plus hours of extensive special features previously released on DVD.

All 26 episodes are being remastered from scratch by Peter Crocker and Mark Ayres. With this season’s original 16mm film elements still in existence, the location material can be presented in true HD, with studio material upscaled. Lee Binding is again providing stunning packaging design and Pete McTighe has written extensive booklet notes and is the content consultant for the title. Doctor Who: The Collection is executively produced for BBC Studios by Russell Minton.

DOCTOR WHO: THE COLLECTION - SEASON 19 includes the following stories from 1982:

Castrovalva (Four episodes); Four To Doomsday (Four Episodes); Kinda (Four Episodes); The Visitation (Four Episodes); Black Orchid (Two Episodes); Earthshock (Four Episodes); Time-Flight (Four episodes)

Love that the Doctor is holding Adric's badge on the cover, nice touch.

That's the coolest feature in my opinion of what is a great cover.

Adric's Badge for Mathematical Excellence.

It'll just be the price they initially list it at; it'll drop to £39.99 or so long before release. Don't panic.

I've placed an order with Zoom. I ordered season 12 on preorder day from Amazon and received it on time. Am I right in thinking that Amazon cancelled some season 12 orders though? Does make me a bit worried about receiving future releases.

They need to make the print run on the Limited Edition larger, for start - that S12 is seemingly OOP already is ridiculous. It only encourages scalpers, I just had a look and some fool company on Amazon marketplace wants 440 pounds for It. If I’ve bought into the LE packaging, the last thing I want is to be scrounging around on eBay because my Amazon order got lost in the post and now it’s sold out.
