Jacob Anderson (Game of Thrones, Broadchurch) is also set to make his debut on Doctor Who as recurring character, Vinder. Jacob’s new role will see him join forces with the Doctor, Yaz and Dan as the Doctor faces her biggest ever adventure.

Synopsis
The Thirteenth Doctor is back in this six-part Event Serial adventure.

Packed with action, humour, terrifying new villains, and iconic returning monsters such as the Sontarans and the Weeping Angels, Doctor Who: Flux tells one story across a vast canvas.
From Liverpool to the depths of space, via the Crimean war and a planet named Atropos, which shouldn’t even exist, fighting old foes and new creatures from beyond our dimension, the Doctor and company face a race against (and through!) time to uncover a universe-spanning mystery: what is the Flux?

February 15th, 2022 - 7:01pmNow it’s released can anyone confirm who is on the commentary track someone asked this before but the post ended with a childish remark. I on the other hand am interested to know
Thanks

January 26th, 2022 - 6:16pmGot mine today, and as feared there is no “Revolution of the Daleks”. Thanks for leaving out one episode in the timeline once again, Mr. whoever is behind the steelbook production. I wonder how many neurons it takes to understand it should be included. 🙁
Children of davros
January 26th, 2022 - 8:14pmEr, it doesn’t exactly hide that revolution isn’t included. People just seem to want to complain these days.
Stefano
January 27th, 2022 - 1:49pm@children, Was it clearly written down somewhere? I didn’t see any content breakdown at least. I would expect it to be included as the Christmas/New Year special have always been included in this series of steelbooks, except for “Once Upon a time”, which was still unexplained but at least I could guess that being due to a new doctor and new production team being at the helm.
For the record, I would have bought this steelbook anyway. What I cannot possibly understand is why you would put out a comprehensive, 16-year-spanning series and just leave out 2 friggin’ episodes. It’s just senseless from a watcher perspective. I’m at least holding out hope that it will be included (in the wrong order) in the next steelbook which I would assume covering the 2022 specials.
And no, I don’t just want to complain, there’s plenty I like about the steelbooks and Doctor Who in general, so I would appreciate if you just didn’t assume people’s intentions.
Stefano
January 27th, 2022 - 1:50pm…and of course I meant “Twice Upon a Time” 🙂
Stefano
January 27th, 2022 - 1:51pm…and of course I meant “Twice upon a time”!
Children of davros
January 27th, 2022 - 3:07pmIt was clearly written down both on the cover of the boxes and in the official blurb.
Rob W
January 28th, 2022 - 5:22pmI too think this years specials will be released together in a Steelbook and boxset Setefano.
Stefano
January 29th, 2022 - 7:40amHi Rob! Hope they will make the effort to include the 2021 new year’s special as well, otherwise it will weirdly be left out of the steelbook collection, just as “twice upon a time” did…
Bobby Fackrell
February 15th, 2022 - 7:05pmI’ve recently started collecting the steel books despite my not liking much of the Moffat years. I missed series one and badly want a reissue I have 2-8 and 11 and 12 and I too find Resolution of the Daleks being omitted very annoying however I do agree they made no secret of it not being included
sileic
January 24th, 2022 - 1:38pmRecieved mine today and the steelbook looks great. One tiny issue is the insert doesn’t match the discs. The insert list episodes 1 to 4 on disc 1, and 5 & 6 on disc 2, but it is 3 on each. Not a big deal but at the best part of 40 quid for a two disc release you’d think the basics would be right.
Rob W
January 24th, 2022 - 6:07pmThe standard version will likely be the same too?
Children of davros
January 24th, 2022 - 9:22pmDVD insert lists 2 episodes per disc plus extras
Coleman
January 23rd, 2022 - 11:13amWas the Flux only released on Bluray and Steelbook?
I can’t see the DVD anywhere in the Merchandise Guide.

Anon
January 23rd, 2022 - 12:26pmI hope it has been released. I ordered one from HMV but no despatch email received yet from them.
Coleman
January 23rd, 2022 - 1:03pmIt’s been released. JLBWHO below commented his had been shipped and arrived early.
It just depends who you order off. I usually order from Amazon and it normally arrives on day of release.
Children of davros
January 23rd, 2022 - 8:11pmMine is arriving on Monday from hmv

January 24th, 2022 - 7:43pmI received my 3-disc DVD this evening. Thrown the postcards away as I don’t see any use for them. Pleased about the extras as I hadn’t been expecting them.
JLBWHO
January 22nd, 2022 - 11:59pmAny news on when we are getting Eve of the Daleks on DVD and Blu ray?
Deano
January 23rd, 2022 - 10:49amWill be this time next year when the Easter and new year specials have aired then released as a special’s set like the 10th Doctor specials set.
daz
January 23rd, 2022 - 12:20pmAs the 13th Doctor’s finale is a BBC Centenary Special in October it will be out in time for Xmas 2022 but most likely as a ‘Specials’ box set.
JLBWHO
January 21st, 2022 - 2:13pmJust got a notification
Apparently my steelbook of flux has arrived early 😮
At work but rushing home after to see
Excited!
Liam
January 20th, 2022 - 2:37pmWho’s the audio commentary with – or is it meant to be a surprise?
Rob W
January 20th, 2022 - 6:48pmLooks like it Liam as the reverse view of the sleeve on Amazon just says Audio Commentary (Part Two).
Liam
January 20th, 2022 - 9:55pmHopeful it’s Chris Chibnall, with an hour-long apology. I might even buy that.
…
January 22nd, 2022 - 1:07pmWhy comment if you have no intention of buying Liam? Or are you just taking every opportunity to complain?
JLBWHO
January 19th, 2022 - 12:34pmPayment taken
Its on its way!!!
😀
JLBWHO
January 19th, 2022 - 11:55amGot mine ordered a while back.
My only worry is that my luck with amazon deliveries hasn’t been the best and I worry about damage, I prefer things not to be exclusive to one shop.
Otherwise its a beautiful steel book
Rob W
January 12th, 2022 - 6:08pmNice selection of extras.
Gordon
January 12th, 2022 - 6:19pmAll available on YouTube bar the ep 2 commentary
Alex
November 8th, 2021 - 10:29amLooks like it’s already sold out. 🙁
Alex
November 8th, 2021 - 11:19amIgnore this. I forgot that Amazon UK doesn’t like letting Australia know what it has in stock
Hugh
January 18th, 2022 - 1:18pmI want to buy it myself, how would you suggest I order it

Haza14
October 30th, 2021 - 7:02pmOh no! I was worried they’d release Flux without Revolution of the Daleks. Wonder if there might be a more complete set after the specials next year?
This cover art looks amazing though so I will probably be ordering anyway just to be safe!
Jackson Lake
October 30th, 2021 - 7:06pmHoping so, then they can label that The Complete Thirteenth Series! 10 episodes, so similar amount to Series 11/12 sets.
Ben Miller
October 30th, 2021 - 3:20pmI’m Hoping Jodie Whittaker Goes Out With A Bang Next Year
Judooning
October 30th, 2021 - 2:16pmOrdered my copy.
I don’t watch these, I just collect them for how nice they look on display. I’ll probably get the standard DVD from HMV after release
Alan
October 30th, 2021 - 2:10pm£38 seems a lot for 6 episodes and no extras, although I am glad the artwork is much better than the other steelbooks
Doctor Stu
October 30th, 2021 - 4:26pmI wonder if the extras will be announced after the series has ended. Seems way too steep for 6 episodes and nothing more just because it’s in a fancy case
PiersS
October 30th, 2021 - 4:39pmPrevious steel books on the animated episodes have had about an £11 gbp mark up.
This time it’s £16, I hope this is not common going forward.
I’ve purchased for now, but hope the price drops.
Rob W
November 1st, 2021 - 10:18amThe non-Steelbook release is now £19.99 making the Steelbook less appealing. A £31 price would be great.
HS
January 7th, 2022 - 9:55amThe Specials Steelbook only had 5 episodes 😛
Gordon
October 30th, 2021 - 10:17amLooks good but £38 for just 6 episodes and 2 discs (according to hmv)? Seems very high. Hopefully it will drop before release.
houdunni
October 30th, 2021 - 2:17amOh great and now Amazon.co.uk are blocking New Zealander’s preordering this! *sigh* Any ideas where else I can preorder this AND get it sent to New Zealand?
SilentNinjaZero
October 30th, 2021 - 7:28amI’m in New Zealand as well and unfortunately it looks like there is nowhere else to order from. It is an Amazon exclusive steelbook. The series 12 steelbook was the same. We’ll both probably have to resort to ebay.
It is annoying that Amazon block NZ, but they’ve done that for 2 years now, ever since our govt introduced new gst rules on overseas goods. At least Zavvi still ships here and I’ve used them for Collection sets and animations, due to better versions/ avoidance of long wait times. In this case though, can’t use Zavvi :/
Bushboy
October 30th, 2021 - 8:36amTry Zavvi Australia. Not sure if it is available to preorder from them yet but if not I’m sure it will be soon.
ruxy100
October 30th, 2021 - 11:19am@Bushboy – it’s an Amazon exclusive, so won’t be sold by Zavvi.

October 30th, 2021 - 11:20amHey, I’m in New Zealand and found a way to order this. If you go onto the New Zealand Post YouShop site, you can get a post address in the uk that you can ship orders to and once it arrives there you’ll get an email asking you to pay postage to send it to New Zealand. I haven’t ordered this way before but I do know additional postage can be expensive so keep that in mind (I’m expecting it to be around $50NZD for the additional postage but not 100% sure). I know that may not be the best solution but hope that helps. – Also just a note, when I ordered it came up as a discount down to £17.99 which was a bonus haha
Rob W
October 30th, 2021 - 2:27pmCongratulations you were charged the price of the DVD! Well done mate!
SilentNinjaZero
October 31st, 2021 - 3:42am@ T
Thanks for the info, didn’t know they offered that service. Do they give you an estimate of the shipping cost before you have it sent to the UK address, or do you have to risk it?
Could you post how much it is once it arrives there? Am interested. It may be slightly different for me based on location but should be the same roughly.
Matty
November 1st, 2021 - 4:58amI use YouShop all the time, last steelbook cost $28.64 for shipping. But now they’ve made it even harder by removing the ability to put your ID in as the customer name. Hopefully still arrives.

Reece
October 30th, 2021 - 12:19amThe big question now is… does it have ‘Revolution Of The Daleks’?
Rob W
October 30th, 2021 - 9:45amThe 6 hours runtime seems to suggest no it doesn’t Reece.
Gordon
October 30th, 2021 - 10:19amIt’s a 2 disc release according to hmv. Plus the spine suggests it’s just flux I’d suggest not
Coleman
October 29th, 2021 - 9:45pmThese Steelbooks usually have great Artwork.
Doctor Stu
October 29th, 2021 - 11:57pmThis one also has great artwork
Coleman
October 30th, 2021 - 11:46amYes, up to the usual Excellent Standard.
Prowl 1701
October 29th, 2021 - 8:52pmThat looks amazing. Guessing it is Alice’s work, she’s such a good artist. Got my order in!
Moodbeam
October 29th, 2021 - 8:37pmIt’s beautiful.
Jake
October 29th, 2021 - 8:26pmI know Flux is the title of the series but it’s still a little irksome that it doesn’t say Series 13 on the spine.
Reece
October 29th, 2021 - 7:53pmanyone having trouble ordering this in the UK? Keeps telling me if can’t be delivered to my address :/₩
Moodbeam
October 29th, 2021 - 8:39pmI just ordered with no problem from Amazon. I’m sure I’ll thoroughly enjoy the series however this is one of those steelbooks which is so beautiful that the content within almost doesn’t matter.
Matty
October 29th, 2021 - 9:05pmSame Here 🙁
Whovian Espresso
October 29th, 2021 - 10:40pmYeah I was too, I had to create a new address to get it to work for some reason.
Isitneil
December 15th, 2021 - 4:34pmI had no problem with pre ordering with amazon. I do however pre order all doctor who collection sets and steel books through amazon using the same amazon account and Uk delivery address.
Always been easy and problem free and always delivered when they say with payment taken roughly 3 or 4 days before delivery.
Isitneil
December 15th, 2021 - 4:39pm….in fact on the few occasions the change of release date meant I had insufficient funds in my account, was also easy and problem free. Amazon have always held my item for 7 days while I amended payment details (paid for it) in which case they took payment as soon as I updated payment details and dispatched it straight after. I have always found pre ordering with amazon gives me 100% peace of mind. I’ve never had any issues or problems. As a result even if the cost was less somewhere else I would now always and continue to use amazon.
