The11thdoctorThe2nd
July 9th, 2013 - 10:05amThis has been revealed as a time capsule including art cards, an exclusive figure, terror of the zygons, a sonic screwdriver and a letter from tom baker! 😀
JaffaDodger
July 9th, 2013 - 9:39amCorrect me if I’m wrong, but I’m sure Terror Of The Zygons is the last 4th Doctor story to be out on DVD. So maybe they’re just trying to hype that up, and of course the fact that the Zygons are featured in the 50th Special
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 9:47amyes its is but then the 1st video has pictures of K9/leela etc who are nothing to do with that story
I still think this is some big set in very special packaging and not just DVD’s
The packaging shown also looks like the secondary console room
Some bloke
July 9th, 2013 - 10:03amWhere can we see a pic of the packaging to, booboo?
Joe
July 9th, 2013 - 7:14amIf it is a boxset then what will the boxset be called and what will be other things
In the set (if it is a boxset).
celestial toymaker
July 9th, 2013 - 8:51amIts an advert for terror of the zygons this one must be really special for it to have an advert
the astronaut of death
July 8th, 2013 - 7:00pmI am rather disso pointed it is just another bit of merchandise I was hoping it had something to do with the 50th I am sick of the bbc getting fan’s hopes up and just letting us down
Some bloke
July 8th, 2013 - 7:04pmI know what you mean, but really I’m not all that bothered. If this is just a big 4th doctor boxset, then I’m happy with that, not necessarily the price, but it makes me wonder ‘Will they do all doctors or just tom’ Really they can’t do troughton’s nor hartnell’s because they don’t have all of their stories, so probably not. Oh well 🙂
Trenzalore
July 8th, 2013 - 7:08pmI’m actually quite exited for whatever it is, obviously it would have been good if it was part of the 50th but merchandise is just as good, if not better. I can understand some peoples disappointment though; if it is what we suspect (complete fourth doctor collection, with a few other bit’s) then most people will own most if not all of the 4th doctors DVD and they will have to pay all that money just to get the other things that come with it. But I for one am exited and looking forward to buying whatever it is as I only own 7 4th doctor episode
Some bloke
July 8th, 2013 - 7:15pmI own all 4th doctor stories par terror of the zygons, which i will be getting. If this is the complete 4th with other collectors bits, I am DEFINITELY getting it. Tom is my favourite doctor, and if it’s presented nicely, and within £100 price, then yeah, I’d get it 😀
Anonymous
July 8th, 2013 - 7:52pmI’ve seen quite a few people who thought this was something to do with the show and not merchandise. This could have been dealt with at the time by checking who had released the video, because BBC Worldwide would not be releasing details about the show.
Some bloke
July 8th, 2013 - 5:42pmAre these clips released on a regular basis, or are we just given a random warning as to when the next clip/teaser/clue will be released? Do we know when the next one will be released?
The Cyber Squirrel
July 8th, 2013 - 3:35pmif you look closely the dvd says terror of the zygons
Some bloke
July 8th, 2013 - 3:45pmI think evey one can see that, especially when the red filter goes over the cover and when a well known line of Broton’s dialoge from terror of the zygons is played, and when you see an image of broton in the red filter
Trenzalore
July 8th, 2013 - 3:55pmYes we all kind of figured that out a while ago 😆
The Cyber Squirrel
July 8th, 2013 - 6:49pmOops sorry I posted that before I saw the end of the video
Some bloke
July 8th, 2013 - 6:52pmHA, ok we’ll let you off 😀
Radburn
July 8th, 2013 - 2:01pmAm I the only one that get’s irritated by stuff like this? It is hard enough trying to track down reliable information on products, dates & releases. Being baited with ‘teaser’ trailers is even worse!
booboo
July 8th, 2013 - 2:08pmin a way yes, but it depends what it is i suppose.
I have almost given up on certain aspects of merchandise and if i’m honest it makes my interest wane
Just last week we sent of 4 emails either as a news site or as customers to certain ” BBC Doctor Who license holders” for information on various products and not one has even had the courtesy to reply. this happens all the time.
Radburn
July 8th, 2013 - 2:12pmThat is the most precise & honest answer I have had from a fellow Whovian.
“makes my interest wane” just about sums it up for me…
Chris
July 8th, 2013 - 11:22amIf it is the complete 4th Doctor box set my question is, why would anyone buy this?
I have every Classic Dr Who DVD, and a full 4th Doctor box set does not interest me in the slightest fancy box or not.
celestial toymaker
July 8th, 2013 - 11:45amcould it be a TOTZ SE
Some bloke
July 8th, 2013 - 12:59pmdoubt it considering the original isn’t released till september
Anonymous
July 8th, 2013 - 11:00amIf you look carefully you can see the refelction of a zygon
Some bloke
July 8th, 2013 - 1:00pmi don’t think you need to look carefully and it’s not really a reflection
Connor
July 8th, 2013 - 12:22ami have seen the region 1 DVD cover for terror of the zygons on google images and its real. it ooks really badthough and i rather a red colour then a green and i think they should at least put harry in one. when do we find out the dvd special features? And what do u guys think about the 90 missing episode found rumors.
Some bloke
July 8th, 2013 - 9:58amis the missing episodes rumour still going round?
booboo
July 8th, 2013 - 10:00ami dont think so
Anonymous
July 8th, 2013 - 10:18amOf course the rumour is still floating around. The BBC never outright denied it so it raised some suspicions that the 90 rumour was wrong, but something had indeed been recovered and the fan base has accidently stumbled upon the revelation by pure coincidence.
booboo
July 8th, 2013 - 10:22amI assumed they were talking about the 90 episodes which i thought the company involved had flatly denied and seemed somewhat annoyed
Missing episode rumours have have been around for years
Some bloke
July 8th, 2013 - 10:49amwell I thought everyone agreed to disagree and thought they would let the dust settle until the evidence is brought forwards
booboo
July 8th, 2013 - 10:49amtime will tell
JD95
July 8th, 2013 - 1:02pmThe new rumour that has branched off from the 90 episode one is that Web of Fear, Enemy of the World and Marco Polo are being returned to the BBC and that there is trailer for EoTW on the Zygons dvd.
Some bloke
July 8th, 2013 - 1:39pmI heard that trailer thing too. I don’t understand why the trailer for enemy of the world would be on terror of the zygons because the next release is the moonbase. Unless it’s like a little ‘Hey look at what we’ve found’ sort of thing. If it is on there, it will most likely be an easter egg. I hope it’s true, but I’m not hoping TOO hard 🙂
JD95
July 8th, 2013 - 2:53pmhttp://www.bbfc.co.uk/releases/doctor-who-terror-zygons-dvd-extras
I could only find this post, but there is a more detailed one where the 1:47 extra is named as an Easter Egg.
Anonymous
July 8th, 2013 - 4:31pmThe company involved outright denied the 90 rumour. The BBC however were being a bit funny and wouldn’t outright deny anything. This is where the problem has come from, so many people seem to think the BBC have found something, but it won’t be the 90 episodes as rumoured.
However, this is pure speculation, although I’ve got to admit, the BBC were a bit funny about it.
JD95
July 8th, 2013 - 10:01pmI normally and quite pessimistic about all these rumours and even more so when I heard about 90 I laughed but at this recent convention apparently a member of the audience asked a question about missing episodes to the pannel and was cut off and the mic was passed to another audience member. Something fishy going on
videogamemad00
July 7th, 2013 - 11:05pmIf this is a full Tom Baker set, I would only get it if it has all the special features of previous releases.
Clayderman
July 7th, 2013 - 10:58pmBooBoo, not related at all to this, but, just to clarify, as i won the recent competition, do I reply to the e-mail, or do i have to direct the e-mail somewhere else (another email address)
booboo
July 7th, 2013 - 11:00pmno i have all you details and what you wanted (K9 dvd and Dalek)
get them to you next week
Clayderman
July 8th, 2013 - 10:37pmThanks!
Doctor Who Crazy Ross
July 7th, 2013 - 10:48pmThis is so cool, if it were what booboo said ‘Full set in a console shaped box with some accessories i reckon’ I think it should come with that, plus 5 figures (LE 4th Doctor 5″, Romana II, Sarah Jane, Romana I, Harry w. K9) the Doctor’s sonic, and a few other things! That would be brilliant!
Anonymous
July 7th, 2013 - 10:55pmIt’s a bit unlikely to contain figures, especially that many.
booboo
July 7th, 2013 - 10:58pmsome said their friend worked on it and it contains a “statue”
I deleted the comment as as we cant verify it
but makes sense now possibly
this could be one hell of a set
matparks08
July 7th, 2013 - 10:45pmI agree with all who say that this will possibly be a Fourth Doctor box set. I imagine Complete Doctor box sets may be a future release option anyway when we finally run out of complete new stories to release by the end of this year.
Stevennnnn
July 7th, 2013 - 10:23pmI’ve just been speaking to @TheMindRobber on Twitter and he’s basically confirmed a complete box set of the Fourth Doctor’s adventures. Also said to be boxed beautifully. Sounds exciting!
Anonymous
July 7th, 2013 - 10:41pmAnd expensive.
booboo
July 7th, 2013 - 10:49pmpity the BBC just can tell us first then without having to hear it elsewhere, seems like we have to hear everything these days from either leaked or official sources
Even the French get to see an Adventures in Space and time trailer 1st before us licence paying British public that actually pay for the thing
rdjackson87
July 7th, 2013 - 10:14pmHa ha! I was right!
How much and where do I get it? *waves Debit Card frantically at the screen*
Some bloke
July 7th, 2013 - 10:23pmdon’t know yet. It’s not even official yet, we’re only speculating. It could be something completely different 🙂
Thehostproductions
July 7th, 2013 - 9:28pmTerror of the zygons!! Can’t wait to get this!!
Thehostproductions
July 7th, 2013 - 9:29pmThat isn’t the actual dvd cover is it??
Some bloke
July 7th, 2013 - 9:41pmno
Sam Bentley
July 7th, 2013 - 9:11pmSo this was all just about the Terror of the Zygons release?
booboo
July 7th, 2013 - 9:13pmi think there is much more to its
Full set in a console shaped box with some accessories i reckon
Some bloke
July 7th, 2013 - 9:47pmIf you’re right booboo, then I am SOOO getting it. That would be GORGEOUS just to own. Excited for the product, but NOT the price.
Sam Bentley
July 7th, 2013 - 9:48pmOooh,that would surely be VERY expensive, no? Also, most DVD colletors will already HAVE all but TotZ on DVD right?
Some bloke
July 7th, 2013 - 9:51pmYeah, I’d be one of those people. BUT I WANT IT!!!!
POW
July 7th, 2013 - 8:53pmRight, here’s my guess:
It’s the complete 4th Doctor collection (every story), with a set of companion art cards (as seen in the 1st vid), and a 4th Doctor Sonic Screwdriver. The box(rectangle in shape so could be a Tardis design) containing 41 slim amaray cases (7 slims is equal to 3 standard dvd amaray so the box itself wouldn’t be that long). Probably limited edition so might include an signed certificate or autographed picture of Tom.
Trenzalore
July 7th, 2013 - 8:48pmWell, my guess is a doctor who full DVD 4th doctor collection where they have every 4th doctor DVD available, set out in this layout in the kind of Gallifreyan way. I think this because the size of the DVD cover, it is quite small compared to other DVD’s. With this size of DVD covering they could easily put it all into (a slightly big around 15cm possibly) box-set. I imagion the price around £100 probably (that is if my idea is correct)
HarryReeves2000
July 7th, 2013 - 8:39pmwhen they chuck the red bit a face appears it looks like that bug from Utopia, is it Chanto?
Trenzalore
July 7th, 2013 - 8:41pmNo, it’s a Zygon
Andrew
July 7th, 2013 - 8:26pmThat crushed my theory, i was gonna say its the Doctor Who proms next saturday, which sold out so i couldnt book, but i was wondering if 4th might make an appearence, oh well. This seems cool too, but that would be a lot of Dvds, I know hes the most popular doctor, but Pertwee would be a better release i think.
Andrew
July 7th, 2013 - 8:27pmI kinda like the idea of the titles being in old Gallifreyan, but id prefer a lenticular opposed to a red film thing.
Anonymous
July 7th, 2013 - 8:25pmNo this must be part of a set I mean you’d be confused to see a DVD like that anywhere
Trenzalore
July 7th, 2013 - 8:40pmI think this is kind of like a prototype cover just for this teaser. The real one will probably have the same layout as the rest of the classic DVD’s
Trenzalore
July 7th, 2013 - 8:49pmOr like you say it is part of a set but after the set they will probably release in the format of all the other DVD’s
Anonymous
July 7th, 2013 - 8:11pmA bit thin for a regular DVD box, it looks almost like the ones you’d get in those big box sets with a lot of DVDs included.
Perhaps it is a collection with every Fourth Doctor story. Bit unlikely but it would make sense given the other video.
booboo
July 7th, 2013 - 8:18pmI cant believe they would do this for one DVD and its a thin case like you say.
There must be more to it
Anonymous
July 7th, 2013 - 7:54pmIf this is a “Teaser video”, then surely it can’t be just an advert for the DVD for TOTZ. The DVD, however, is obviously part of it, so maybe there’ll be another video explaining more later (like a DVD signing or a special pack of DVDs or a set of Zygon, 4th Doctor and maybe a new Sarah, Harry or Brig figures with a DVD…)
Trenzalore
July 7th, 2013 - 7:43pmWell, looks like ‘terror of the zygons’ is coming to DVD and it’s going to be rated PG. But this can’t be it; in the other video it showed all the companions not just the companion that appears in this episode. Maybe this is just one part of the mysterious ‘fourth’
Imaginethatnodoor
July 7th, 2013 - 7:36pmBooboo, I just saw a video revealing the terror of the zygon a video. And that was #thefourth aswell. Is that it???
booboo
July 7th, 2013 - 7:37pmhope not, everyone knew about that anyway
seems rather Odd
TipsyMyrka
July 7th, 2013 - 7:35pmThey just released another vid. Looks like it was all marketing for Zygons coming out on DVD (the video is just a dvd box with text covered by Gallifreyan which is then revealed to be “Terror of the Zygons” with Broton speaking/projected onto it)
itdalek
July 7th, 2013 - 6:01pmDoes anyone know what the top one is meant to be of? Out of all the pictures on the desk
