Writing Who
The definitive guide for a would-be Doctor Who scriptwriter. We follow Sarah Dollard on her intricate journey to create her episode, Trap Street. From the highs of pitching her original idea to Steven Moffat, to the challenges of writing her first draft – faced with a blank page and typing Int. TARDIS Day – to seeing her episode becoming reality.

Peter Capaldi and Steven Moffat reveal the inspiration for the return of the Daleks to the incredible season opener of series 9, how their earliest memories have shaped their devotion to the ultimate killing machine, and the journey to the Dalek homeland of Skaro.
The Adventures of River Song
Join Alex Kingston and Steven Moffat as we look forward to River’s return in The Husbands of River Song. Find out how River’s character came to be created, why Alex just had to play the role, what happened when the cast discovered who River really is. Narrated by Nina Toussaint-White.
Clara’s Journey
In 2012, Jenna Coleman joined Doctor Who and took her place in television history as the Doctor’s newest companion, Clara Oswald. Having become the longest serving companion since the revival of the show, Clara’s time on the TARDIS has now come to an end, so we can now look back at just what made the Impossible Girl, well, possible. Featuring interviews with Peter Capaldi, Matt Smith and Jenna Coleman. Narrated by Colin McFarlane.

March 2nd, 2016 - 1:52pmI normally don’t buy DW boxsets at full price (with the exception of limited editions obviously) and intended to buy the standard Series 9 B-R next year when it had come down in price, but when I realised that the mock-up art was in fact the final cover art I just had to cough up and get the beautiful steelbook edition, Alice X. Zhang’s artwork is just to beautiful to resist 🙂

February 11th, 2016 - 11:45pmDo you remember the good old days where there use to be 13 commentaries and tge only thing people were complaining about was the confidentials being cut down. I just find it ashame that you can find most of the extras on the web now and not many new content is provided.

February 5th, 2016 - 1:07pmIs the Amazon gift voucher offer still on? Can’t seem to see it on the gift voucher page?

February 4th, 2016 - 7:28pmWhat exactly is a steelbook?
GallifreyanKnight
February 4th, 2016 - 7:48pmA collectible case, made of steel.
They were more sought after from 2007 onwards, but these days, EVERYTHING gets a steelbook.
DWmaestro
February 4th, 2016 - 5:57pmThey have made Capaldi look too old on the art work and his hair is season 8 styled. Is it me or is that the Bonny version of Clara (the white shirt and long black coat)-the Zygon. Why not paint the Clara in the waitress outfit or blue jumper and the red velvet doctor
Kribu
February 5th, 2016 - 11:20amThe images are both definitely based on the Zygon two-parter – and Capaldi’s hair is much longer than it was in any of S8! (If I had to guess, I’d point at one of the moments around when this screenshot was taken: http://kissthemgoodbye.net/doctorwho/albums/Season%209/Episode%2008%20The%20Zygon%20Inversion/908_42891.jpg )

Skaldak456
February 2nd, 2016 - 9:03pmI mean like the bog standard blu ray. Like they release every year. I know they released it for pre order and gave it the poster for series 9 as the art work saying art work TBA. Just wondering when the official artwork will be released if you know?

Doctorfan

February 2nd, 2016 - 5:54pmIt’s a good job I recently got a blu-ray player really like this. 🙂
CharlieMars
February 2nd, 2016 - 5:42pmCancelling my pre-order of the standard release and pre-ordering this, love a steelbook and the cover art looks fantastic!
The super whovian
February 2nd, 2016 - 4:51pmThis is why I like steelbooks what a stunning cover. I wonder if they will do this for the other seasons
Nicholas
February 2nd, 2016 - 4:41pmThat is really rather stunning. I might just have to get that
Missy
February 2nd, 2016 - 4:37pmSo annoying how these are only for BluRay!!!
Nicholas
February 2nd, 2016 - 4:40pmThat’s the way steelbooks work now 😛
Missy
February 2nd, 2016 - 4:55pm🙁 these are dark days! Get your BluRay players kids
CharlieMars
February 2nd, 2016 - 5:20pmI don’t know how some people still don’t own devices that can play blu-rays, all new games consoles can and blu-ray players arn’t expensive.
It’s definitely worth the extra price for blu-rays folks! You can definitely tell the difference in quality + they often have much more special features!
Ryan Anthony
February 2nd, 2016 - 4:23pmOMG! This is stunning! I’ve very recently started collecting BluRay steelbooks, I need this for the collection! Best artwork for a series Boxset yet!
Reece
February 2nd, 2016 - 4:08pmStunning.

February 2nd, 2016 - 3:39pmLooks decent, but as nice as the artwork is, I don’t see it as DVD cover artwork, more poster artwork if you understand what I mean. Often I prefer the normal versions to the steelbooks
thehostproductions
February 2nd, 2016 - 3:32pmHope they do one for the standard dvds
Anonymous
February 2nd, 2016 - 3:25pmI hope this gets released as a normal version

February 2nd, 2016 - 3:00pmI’ll be honest, not a big fan of the art style, but I was hoping a special edition would be produced. I hope BBC Shop also have a special edition. I’ll wait to see what the finalised artwork of the regular edition is before I make my decision.
