July 6th, 2013 - 8:15pmit could be a wave for playstation home with tons of stuff from the fourth doctor era.
Harold Saxon
July 6th, 2013 - 5:11pmBIG CHIEF STUIDIOS are release a 4th doctor figure,could it be that?
booboo
July 6th, 2013 - 5:12pmno, we know about that
Anonymous
July 6th, 2013 - 11:48amPresumably something exclusive to no. 4 (and maybe a couple of others) or something involving the actor, otherwise we’d have had 1, 2 and 3 first (It would make sense to announce the Doctors in order).
the astronaut of death
July 6th, 2013 - 9:57amthere is a rumour that they are making a doctor ten Minuit short staring the 4th doctor

July 5th, 2013 - 9:44pmIf you go onto the site, then onto “features” then “shopping” yo can see it.
One of the lines says this:
“There’s almost enough to fill a TARDIS – and special unique, one-off official Celebration merchandise will be available”.
booboo
July 5th, 2013 - 9:51pmi doubt it will be anything like figures
drjakeyoung
July 5th, 2013 - 9:41pmbooboo, in one of the reply’s i got from that convention website for latter this year, they said there is going to be some exclusive merchandise only available for the convention. This is also on there website, if you go to the shops section. Could this be it??!!
booboo
July 5th, 2013 - 9:44pmprobably t shirts and mugs etc
drjakeyoung
July 5th, 2013 - 9:46pmI guess so. It still makes me very suspicious about all this tying in. I think it has something to do with both merchandise ad the convention latter this year.
booboo
July 5th, 2013 - 9:49pmand big finish are announcing something on Monday at the same time the tickets go on sale
I’m sure this is something to do with merchandise
drjakeyoung
July 5th, 2013 - 9:50pmWell the sonic i the video looks like the toy version. I don’t know. It’s all very confusing!
drjakeyoung
July 5th, 2013 - 9:52pmdam, some of my keyboard buttons aren’t working properly and are missing out letters!
Paw
July 5th, 2013 - 9:20pmWith the amount of time until the 50th, it could be a tease each month for other Doctor’s appearing?
July = 4th
August=5th
September=6th
October=7th
November=8th
It does mean no 9th, but we’ve been pretty much told that any way.
auton101
July 5th, 2013 - 8:09pmThe only thing i can think of is them showing some stories on tv, or a classic tardis playset, not the wooden one because that looked pathetic.
KORSAIR
July 5th, 2013 - 9:09pmI always liked the wooden console room myself.
The Greater Intelligence
July 5th, 2013 - 9:12pmI thought it would’ve have been a tiny bit better if it had a central column that went up and down, but I still would have preferred the original console room, still.
Doctorgeorgebaker
July 5th, 2013 - 7:21pmThe 4th doctor tardis playset witch includes 5 figures
Rucbar123
July 5th, 2013 - 5:14pmBig finish of never used in the show scripts
Some bloke
July 5th, 2013 - 5:14pmthat makes no sense
Hellbelly
July 5th, 2013 - 8:08pmI think Rucbar123 means audio versions of scripts that where written but for whatever reason never produced. Basically the “Lost Stories” range.

Some bloke
July 5th, 2013 - 4:36pmWhatever this is it sounds AMAZING. 4th doctor is my favourite, and I absolutely love Tom Baker. Hope this is something REALLY special 🙂
booboo
July 5th, 2013 - 4:37pmBig finish have an announcement at the same time the tickets go on sale for the convention which the 4th Doctor is attending
wonder if there is a connection
Some bloke
July 5th, 2013 - 4:52pmoooh, I don’t know, maybe…? I’m not sure if I’ll go to the convention or not…? I sort of want to but I’m also not bothered. The only reason I would want to go would be mainly to see Tom, and then the rest, but he’s only attending on the saturday, and I’m pretty sure they’ll end out showing the 50th then, but I’d rather watch it at home instead of having all the fans wooping and screaming through every line. I hate it when people do that. But anyway, I hope it’s something REALLY good. Will we find out anytime soon?
drjakeyoung
July 5th, 2013 - 9:39pmOMG i cant wait! @some bloke, if you want to watch the episode in you home, you could always go on the Friday or Sunday? But then i guess you wouldn’t be able to see Tom :/
Michael
July 5th, 2013 - 4:13pmMaybe the Beeb will be showing one episode from each of his 6 seasons.

July 5th, 2013 - 4:31pm7.
Michael
July 5th, 2013 - 7:01pmOoops my bad.

July 5th, 2013 - 4:11pmOne word: Paintings
Justjeulin
July 5th, 2013 - 4:04pm1:It’s not going to be figure-related, when have CO ever done something like this?
2:All the Baker DVDS have been released besides Terror of the Zygons, so I doubt it’s that.
3: I think it’s a special episode of some kind, or just some silly merchandise noone cares about. Chances are it’s the Big Chief Fourth Doctor, in which case it’s both annoying and pointless for this video to even be made.
booboo
July 5th, 2013 - 4:07pmEveryone already knows about the Big Chief 4th Doctor so i doubt its that and i dont think the BBC would promote it in this way.
Dalek The Supreme
July 5th, 2013 - 3:59pmHm, maybe Fourth Doctor for the 50th? Perhaps a Fourth Doctor DVD set, or perhaps the upcoming Big Chief figure, or perhaps one of the famous scene sets, this being the one from Invasion of Time? Whatever it is, it’s Fourth Doctor related, so it’s probably going to be great!
Cyberman V2
July 5th, 2013 - 3:52pmMaybe it could be a 4th Doctor set which contains the complete 4th doctor DVD set 4th Doctor box set (figures)(like companions) and maybe some books to!!
booboo
July 5th, 2013 - 3:53pmthey’ve gone to a bit to trouble with that video and a twitter hash tag so i would say its something fairly significant
SpaceBUZZlite
July 5th, 2013 - 3:35pmA companion figure set ?
Daniel Whitaker
July 5th, 2013 - 3:26pmMatt Smith
John Hurt
David Tennant
All announced for the 50th
What if #thefourth is the fourth doctor which would also be the fourth doctor in the 50th?
Love DoctorWho
July 5th, 2013 - 3:07pmOh you tease! Mysterious. 50 years of doctor who, and still, the most mysterious thing, that we are all clueless about is this trailer!
Andrew
July 5th, 2013 - 2:51pmWhat is this? Can someone explain?
booboo
July 5th, 2013 - 2:53pmwe dont know, its some sort of tease

drjakeyoung

Son of Skaro
July 5th, 2013 - 2:27pmWhaaaaaa!?
Son of Skaro
July 5th, 2013 - 2:32pmWe already know about The Terror of the Zygons. Is Tom Baker appearing in the 50th anniversary special aswel, now?
Son of Skaro
July 5th, 2013 - 2:38pmWill we have to wait till the fourth of August to find out?
Son of Skaro
July 7th, 2013 - 7:58pmSo, it was Terror of the Zygons. What huge let down. If your gonna tease something, make sure it’s not already common knowledge! :-/
craig
July 5th, 2013 - 2:21pmMaybe a companion figure set, with a limited edition which comes with signed art cards
RandomBananaGuy
July 5th, 2013 - 2:20pmERM
drjakeyoung
July 5th, 2013 - 2:17pmI am very confused!
HalfPintOfInnes
July 5th, 2013 - 2:12pmI don’t collect the DVDs but I’m sure all of the fourth doctor episodes have been released…could this be a boxset? With exclusive art cards?
HalfPintOfInnes
July 5th, 2013 - 2:13pmA companion boxet? With all the Fourth Doctors companions first stories? Or maybe last?
