The Twelfth Doctor
July 24th, 2014 - 10:45pmWow! The new close-up images make the set look even better!
Sam Richard Bentley
July 24th, 2014 - 10:23pmPre-ordered this today, but I’m not allowed it until Christmas, which kinda blows.
I’m going to keep my AAISAT DVD though, as I think it deserves it’s own special space on my shelf. Will sell me DOTD DVD though. Should get a little bit out of it.
Radburn
July 25th, 2014 - 9:55amI checked both AAISAT & DOTD as I was going to offload them as well – Having checked the SF on both, some are not replicated on the 50th. CE so I’m now going to keep them. The SF on the TOTD Specials release ARE all on the 50th. CE which I had not bought ~ So the 50th. CE look’s like a good buy to me…
Sam Richard Bentley
July 25th, 2014 - 7:54pmI am mainly keeping AAISAT because it deserves it’s own spot /and/ I like the reconstructions and bonus features on the disc too.
The bonus features on the DOTD DVD weren’t spectacular in my opinion, and a lot of what is in here is much better. Only with they had the 50th Trailer, the one with all the Doctors time-locked? That’s probably all I would miss from that release.

When The Doctor Was Me
July 24th, 2014 - 10:07pmit depends on whether or not you want the extras that aren’t on the previous releases. I personally have them all as well, but have ordered this (bluray version) because i want all the extras that i don’t already have!
Anonymous
July 24th, 2014 - 10:08pmI don’t mind about the extra
but it look so good
When The Doctor Was Me
July 24th, 2014 - 10:15pmthen i wouldn’t spend the money if you want it for its looks then whats the point when you have all the stuff you want and are not worried about the extras on this set.
Scott
July 24th, 2014 - 9:53pmIs there a larger image available?
booboo
July 24th, 2014 - 9:54pmjust trying to get it now
When The Doctor Was Me

drwhofan4ever
July 24th, 2014 - 9:41pmI NEEEED. this is amazing. i still need DOTD, TOTD and AAISAT
Mike
July 25th, 2014 - 5:24amI’ve been holding out for this. I deliberately didn’t get the other releases in hope of a decent boxset for the anniversary. The BBC are true to form and my predictions have come true. I can’t wait to get this. 🙂
DavidH
July 24th, 2014 - 8:34pmI’m undecided on this set. It’s cool, but all I really need are Day, Time and AAISAT. The rest are nice bonuses but I could do without them
Anonymous
July 24th, 2014 - 8:39pmno point spending £30 on something you already have
Alan
July 24th, 2014 - 7:15pmLooks like such a cool boxset!!! Definitely going to own this!!! So many great Doctor Who goodies in there it simply cannot be missed!!!
Danny
July 24th, 2014 - 7:00pmLooks great! But won’t be getting it as i’ve seen them all
the astronaut of death
July 24th, 2014 - 6:59pmhow much
Danny
July 24th, 2014 - 7:01pm£29
Doctor
July 26th, 2014 - 6:00amIs it region free?
The TARDIS
July 24th, 2014 - 6:56pmDon’t know whether to hold out for a standard edition set that will match the series box sets, or to just dive in and get this. If there is no standard edition and I don’t get this now and it sells out, then I will never get the set. If I get this now and they announce a standard edition, then I will be stuck with a more expensive set which doesn’t match the collection so far. Collector’s mindset y’see, even the smallest of problems is a conundrum. Need some advice!
When The Doctor Was Me
July 24th, 2014 - 7:26pmI’m the same! my collection has to look perfect! no mismatching!
The TARDIS
July 24th, 2014 - 7:29pmI’ve just spent around £100 updating my new series collection into the series box sets to fit in with series 8 which it seems is not getting volumes. And now the BBC decides that is need this glaring anomaly in the middle of my collection? NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
When The Doctor Was Me
July 24th, 2014 - 9:42pmi know! i create my own cover art and spines as well so they all look the same if you know what i mean! i like consistency! I’m just glad I’m not the only one out there! lol
cyberman2
July 24th, 2014 - 6:52pmYES!!!!!!! i wanted this to happen
CaptainJack2000
July 24th, 2014 - 6:46pmWill this still be available at Christmas?
The TARDIS
July 24th, 2014 - 6:30pmWill this be released later on as a DVD digipak, the same style as the series box sets? Or is this the only one on offer?
The Werewolf
July 24th, 2014 - 5:45pmI’ve not got any of these yet, so I’m thinking of getting it.
Existent Being
July 24th, 2014 - 5:42pmThis might just be me getting my hopes up, but that grey of those cases… It looks like it could be… Reversible classic style covers?
The Twelfth Doctor
July 24th, 2014 - 5:37pmPre-ordered this so I hope I was one of the first 500 people to order this.
ahunter8056
July 24th, 2014 - 5:53pmIs there a special offer for the first 500 orders?
The Twelfth Doctor
July 24th, 2014 - 5:55pmYep. If you are one of the first 500 to order, you receive a free 50th Anniversary brochure.
The TARDIS
July 24th, 2014 - 6:28pmWhat! Didn’t hear about that anywhere!

Anonymous
July 24th, 2014 - 6:50pmIt was mentioned on the BBC shop listing. It went up after I’d bought mine and it’s gone now. Hope I got there early enough!
The Twelfth Doctor
July 24th, 2014 - 7:11pmExactly what Anonymous said 🙂
Radburn
July 24th, 2014 - 9:03pm…Bah! Wished I’d pre-ordered it sooner now…
videogamemad00
July 24th, 2014 - 5:24pmIt looks great and Five(ish) Doctors but I think I would rather spend the money on Big Finish audios.
Esterath
July 24th, 2014 - 5:13pmOh wow! Gorgeous artwork!
Sam Richard Bentley
July 24th, 2014 - 5:11pmThe artwork for this is gloriously beautiful! I must have this!
the astronaut of death
July 24th, 2014 - 5:06pmOoh lovely box
But I won’t be buying as I already have these on dvd
Rikki Krystal
July 24th, 2014 - 4:13pmFab,just pre-ordered mine.
Mainly brought it for the five-ish doctors.
Nice cheap price as well.
Vortexsurfer
July 24th, 2014 - 4:41pmAgreed. Was afraid that this might turn out to be £60+ purchase the Five-ish Doctors and a heap of stuff we’ve already got, but the £28.99 is actually pretty reasonable.
Haza14
July 24th, 2014 - 3:58pmAs this is a limited edition DVD, will it be a BBC shop exclusive or will it be avaliable elsewhere?
booboo
July 24th, 2014 - 4:06pmno available elsewhere

SonicTheHedgehogRules
July 24th, 2014 - 2:27pmI’m so glad I didn’t buy Day of the Doctor or Time of the Doctor separately. I knew something like this was coming, and I’m super glad I waited for it. ^_^

Existent Being
July 24th, 2014 - 12:28pmDoes anybody know if this is one disc, multiple discs in one case or a proper box set?
Sam
July 24th, 2014 - 12:52pmThe DVD release is 4 discs according to the BBC shop features other than that I don’t know.
The Whofan101
July 24th, 2014 - 12:06pmI might wait and see if this set pops up on other retailer sites like Amazon or Zavvi. If not, then count me in!
