      That’s a shame. I got a message from worldwide last week saying they are having trouble clearing the rights for the last item (probably 5’ish Dr’s) but that they will reveal details about it by the end of the month/Beginning of June.

    It would of been cool if they made “The Fall Of The Eleventh” trilogy dvd
    featuring
    The Name Of The Doctor
    The Day Of The Doctor
    The Time Of The Doctor

    And somewhere on the dvd it should say somthing like His Name, His Day, His Time
    (just an idea)

      I agree. I think there should have been a 50th Anniversary year boxset with all of the above in it plus Time of The Doctor just cuz it being a stand alone dvd is annoying lol

      You should have also included:

      The name of the doctor
      The day of the doctor
      The time of the doctor

      With all the special features from the vanilla releases and all the behind the lens of thos3e episodes.

      A set like that on Blu-Ray would be 4/5 disks?

      They should also include the pre-movie bits they did concerning using cell-phones in the theatre and watch out for matt smith’s chin when the 3d starts – that played before the theatre showings.

    I watched the Brian cox thing when it was on and it’s not really doctor who, just Him being a cox and talking about dimensions and that, with the occasional reference to the tardis.

    I had hoped it would be more like the trailer, doctor who with science references, not science with doctor who referneces.

      “But collectors will want to and it is just a waist” No, I’m pretty sure its a DVD, not a waist…but then again, I’d love my waist to be a 50th anniversary collectors edition 😛

      Steve Roberts of the restoration team said at galifrey 1 convention that the animation of menace is currently on hold while planet 55 are busy with more imminent and higher paying projects at the moment but will resume when those projects are done.

    Hope this is also on blu ray as DOTD had lousy audio due to being shoved onto one disc with a 3D version. This one will be 2D so in theory should have the corrected audio! Love that we are getting the cinema intros too!

    If this includes the original extra’s as well, AND The Fiv(ish) Doctors then I’ll get it as it sounds great!

    Personally I would have released this with Name and Time as well; and each would be released the same way as this, with all the extra’s possible to go with them, and they’d all be in one big boxset together

    OR
    I would have the “Anniversary boxset”: featuring Special Editions of all the Anniversary stories, with all the special features (T3D, T5D, SN) and this release of TDOTD and an Unearthly Child (SE)
    Together in special packaging!

      This is only a list of new material that’s been cleared. It is not a list of all the extras. Reboot would have been cleared earlier so not having it listed here does not mean it’s not included. Personally, it’s the only thing that might make me double dip.

      If this is a special re-release of The Day of the Doctor then how come it includes The Time of the Doctor Behind the Lens feature?

      February 19th, 2014 - 8:27am

      At the moment nothing from time of the doctor has been cleared by the bbfc for this set. Think its just an an assumption just now that beyond the lens will be part of this set.
