Doctor Who DVD / Book: Regeneration – More Details
Doctor Who Regenerations box set
With thanks to BBC Worldwide…
Doctor Who Regeneration
Available from 24 June 2013
The Doctor Who Regeneration set is a beautifully packaged, limited edition coffee table book-styled collectors’ album including six DVDs and over 10 hours of Doctor Who footage.
The collection features each Doctor’s iconic regeneration episode; from the first Doctor played by William Hartnell, exhausted after battling the Cybermen to Jon Pertwee’s Third Doctor suffering from radiation that had been unleashed by the Great One (a giant spider); and from the spectacular transformation of the Ninth Doctor to David Tennant’s emotional farewell as the Tenth.
The set is adorned with superb photography from across the era and features detailed and informative accounts of each regeneration. And if that wasn’t enough, new to DVD is The Tenth Planet featuring the Doctor’s first regeneration – beautifully restored with the missing fourth episode now brought to life with stunning animation.
Utilising the original soundtrack, off-screen photographs and a short surviving sequence of the Doctor’s regeneration the episode has been now reconstructed in animated form, incorporating the restored version of the surviving sequence.
A full list of stories included on the DVD are:
· The Tenth Planet
· The War Games
· Planet of the Spiders
· Logopolis
· The Caves of Androzani
· Time and the Rani
· Doctor Who: The Movie
· Bad Wolf & The Parting of the Ways
· The End of Time

October 29th, 2014 - 9:49pmRedundant due to the events of The Night, Day and Time of the Doctor, which features the 8th, War and 11th Doctor’s Regenerations.

July 27th, 2020 - 2:31amI mean you could call it out dated it’s not redundant by any means it’s a nice set and what do you expect it’s a DVD set the show will always update and change makeing this set out dated

July 12th, 2013 - 6:44pmCan anybody tell me who does the commentary on the Tenth planet?
JaffaCakes
July 10th, 2013 - 11:52amIs the Tenth Planet going to be released separately or will it only ever be available here? I mean, it’s a lovely set of stories, and presented really well, but for someone who already has half of the serials included, I’m just wondering whether the Tenth Planet won’t be out on its own?
booboo
July 10th, 2013 - 11:53amyes it will have a separate release
JaffaCakes
July 10th, 2013 - 2:11pmOh great, cheers booboo!

July 2nd, 2013 - 10:43ammine arrived yesterday, it purely brilliant. the tenth planets 4th part is brilliantly done.
drjakeyoung
June 27th, 2013 - 5:22pmMy replacement copy has just been dispatched! I should get it Monday!
auton101
June 27th, 2013 - 8:28pmwhy replace it, it only had a few scratches.
the astronaut of death
June 27th, 2013 - 8:35pmwell I agree with drjakeyoung if I got this I would want it to be in perfect condition
auton101
June 28th, 2013 - 8:21amNothings perfect, its limited edition you should be happy you got one in the first place.
drjakeyoung
June 28th, 2013 - 9:42amThe whole corner was dented, and considering i payed over £40 for it i at least want it in a good condition before i acturly open it. Anyway, just got my new copy and it hasn’t got any faults which is good, but it’s number is 7855, compared to 2163! Massive difference!
auton101
June 28th, 2013 - 6:51pmYeah i saw the review, the dent wasnt that bad, ive ordered mine and i should receive it tomorrow. Im looking forward to it.
drjakeyoung
June 29th, 2013 - 9:37amStill though i don’t want to pay £40 for something that’s already got it’s value knocked off before i even opened it!
jaketorwho
June 27th, 2013 - 3:00pmGOT MINE! and from a HMV store (Cambridge) they had plenty, so i chose one with no dents, the main reason i wanted to get in in store, so i knew if it would be damaged! priced £49.99, worth the extra fiver or so. beautiful set, love it all. worth every penny! 🙂
CONNORTHEDOCTOR
June 25th, 2013 - 6:16pmMine arrived today, watching the tenth planet, I love it! The old cyberman is a lot scarier and in my better a lot better. Found out so much about them from this episode.
auton101
June 25th, 2013 - 7:02pmIm looking forward to receiving mine, ive seen the first 3 parts of the tenth planet and i loved it, the cybermen are excellent and scary, their voices are creepy aswell. Plus i haven’t got round to getting any of the regeneration stories so this DVD set is right for me.
The Comment Man
June 24th, 2013 - 5:35pmDoes anybody think they’ll be making a second one, an updated, new version? Or is anybody not buying it, not because they already have the DVD episodes but because they think it’s pointless because Matt is leaving and it won’t be included. Thanks
auton101
June 25th, 2013 - 11:04amThere isn’t any point as this is limited edition, making an updated one won’t make it limited edition. although it would be outdated in a few months time i suppose it doesnt really matter, smith might get his own limited edition book. with a early released DVD, this would make up for them announcing he was leaving after the product was due to come out.
The Comment Man
June 30th, 2013 - 3:22pmyeah, thanks, but do you still think its worth it?
auton101
July 2nd, 2013 - 11:21amyes its worth it, from when i received mine i should say get it.
DiavoloFelice
June 24th, 2013 - 1:11pmPoster arrived today (24/06/13) in it’s own long tube, so looks like the posters are going out from the BBC, just not at the same time or packaged in the box as the dvd set.
DavidH
June 24th, 2013 - 5:42pmHow long was the tube?
DiavoloFelice
June 24th, 2013 - 6:43pm64x5cm’ish
auton101
June 23rd, 2013 - 5:33pmYay!!!!!!!!, ordered mine today from amazon. Dad brought it for me as an early birthday present. Cant wait, it should be here by Thursday.

June 22nd, 2013 - 11:40pmI like the look of this but i have half of them on DVD so thanks but no thanks.
Good Luck to the 10,000 Lucky people who get one
CONNORTHEDOCTOR

Tim M
June 22nd, 2013 - 7:19pmDoes anyone who already have this limited edition collectors ‘Regeneration’ box set tell me the size in height and width of the box? Either in centre metres or inches would be great. Thanks.
Tim M
June 22nd, 2013 - 7:22pmI’m ordering mine from Amazon and I’m just wondering how well it will fit on my book shelf amongst other Doctor Who related merchandise?
UnitedGamers2013
June 22nd, 2013 - 2:56pmDoes anyone know if the non animated regeneration of the first doctor is on there too. I can’t find it anywhere
drjakeyoung
June 22nd, 2013 - 2:58pmNah, it’s all animated.
jaketorwho
June 22nd, 2013 - 11:15amDoes anybody know if this will be in HMV stores? Im going to one on tuesday and really want to get it in person so i know it wont get damaged in the post!
volcanic7383
June 22nd, 2013 - 11:35amNo because it is limited to 10,000 copies
UnitedGamers2013
June 22nd, 2013 - 11:36amSorry that was me i used my old username by accident
jaketorwho
June 22nd, 2013 - 11:50amBut amazon have it. As does play.com so surely they will. Also i thought it was 100,000 copies.
booboo
June 22nd, 2013 - 11:51amits def 10,000
jaketorwho
June 22nd, 2013 - 11:53amAh really! So I’m better off ordering online
jaketorwho
June 22nd, 2013 - 11:57amWhat about a forbidden planet store?
CONNORTHEDOCTOR
June 22nd, 2013 - 9:30pmI got my from BBC shop.
HalfPintOfInnes
June 27th, 2013 - 11:03amIt is in HMV stores…I picked mine up yesterday, there was another 2 sets there too
UnitedGamers2013
June 21st, 2013 - 10:06pmMine came damaged. It had a damaged corner and the box was dented. Did anyone else have the same?
The Greater Intelligence
June 22nd, 2013 - 12:01pmI had that with my ‘Dalek War’ boxset, the box was dented, creased, ripped, and the ‘Planet Of The Daleks’ case was slightly bent and hard to close. The discs, however, we’re fine.
Andy Hall
June 23rd, 2013 - 10:36amMine arrived fine. Get back in touch with the BBC Shop and ask if you can be sent a replacement; it just means thry will ask you to send your damaged one back. Worth trying if you are not happy.
booboo
June 23rd, 2013 - 10:37amwhat do you think of it? i have read a couple of extremely negative reviews
auton101
July 2nd, 2013 - 11:23amI got mine yesterday, and its brilliant for someone who doesnt have any regeneration stories like me. Its worth it for £40.
dalek wears bowtiea
June 21st, 2013 - 5:11pmoh yay got this today
drwhobob
June 21st, 2013 - 7:10pmreally where from
trenzalore
June 21st, 2013 - 7:11pmi think BBC shop is where most people have had there orders delivered today
UnitedGamers2013
June 21st, 2013 - 3:27pmMine has just arrived, but I have no poster. I will contact bbc shop during the weekend
The TARDIS
June 21st, 2013 - 4:21pmSame here, opened it up to find a brilliant set, but with no poster.
drjakeyoung
June 21st, 2013 - 6:12pmSame here! I contacted them and they said the following:
Dear Jake Young,
Thank you for your recent email regarding the BBC Shop.
I have checked your order details and the offer of the gift was subject to availability.
Unfortunately as the free gift is subject to availability and we are no longer able to source further stock therefore this has not been sent to you.
Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience this may cause you.
Kind Regards
Stephanie Dineen
The Greater Intelligence
June 21st, 2013 - 6:15pmOh yes because the apology makes up for the exclusive poster, I see.
drjakeyoung
June 21st, 2013 - 6:29pmI emailed them last week asking will i defiantly get it and they said YES.
So i just emailed them back the following:
I understand the offer was subject to availability.
However, I recently emailed you asking if I would be getting the extras and your reply (below)clearly constitutes a contract to supply the poster.
”
Dear Jake Young,
Thank you for your email regarding BBC Shop.
The poster will arrive with your order.
If I can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind Regards
Tracy Reid”
I have spent literaly over £10,000 on doctor who merchandise over the years. I dont want to take up the case with OFT if possible.
drjakeyoung
June 21st, 2013 - 6:31pmSo seeing as they entered into a contract promising me i would get it, so i cant see how they will get out of this one!
I think they might have screwed up on all the orders.
UnitedGamers2013
June 22nd, 2013 - 2:21pmPut a review on the regeneration box set page
drjakeyoung
June 22nd, 2013 - 2:39pmi already have a unboxing/review on my YouTube channel, so booboo said i could link it on the ask a question page rather than putting it on the site.
DiavoloFelice
June 24th, 2013 - 1:08pmdrjakeyoung – You might get the poster today, as the regenerations box arrived here on Friday and the poster arrived today (24/06/13)in a large tube. So you still might get one.
drjakeyoung
June 24th, 2013 - 1:22pmLOL I forgot to say that it acturly turned up on Saturday! It’s massive and i can see why it came separately!
DiavoloFelice
June 24th, 2013 - 2:46pmI have to admit I was expecting it to be folded up down to A4 size and in the box with the dvd, but then I ordered this before the poster offer, so surprised I got a poster lol
Anything thats free and a blue box is all good 🙂
drjakeyoung
June 21st, 2013 - 10:51amMy copy just arrived. Haven’t taken it out of the box yer so don’t know what it looks like, but this is because i am about to do an unboxing video!
matparks08
June 20th, 2013 - 10:01pmI do like the idea of this, and I will probably get it, but as a celebration of 50 years it’s a real shame that Colin Baker doesn’t feature other than the beginning of Time and Rani and end of Caves of Androzani – just makes it feel incomplete – though obviously there’s not a full regeneration story for him.
prof horner
June 20th, 2013 - 11:44amIan Levine claims to have seen three tons of evidence that it is all true about the missing episodes. Why would he lie?
booboo
June 20th, 2013 - 11:47amhe wouldn’t, but until i see actual BBC confirmation i will keep an open mind, we have had “Dead cert” hoaxes before
