Doctor Who Complete Series Seven Blu-ray

Doctor Who Complete Series Seven Blu-ray

BBC Worldwide releases all thirteen blockbuster episodes from Doctor Who series seven and the 2011 and 2012 Christmas Specials on Blu-ray and DVD on October 28, 2013. In addition, the set contains exciting bonus features including behind-the-scenes featurettes, “Doctor Who at Comic Con”, specials “The Companions” and “Doctor Who in the US,” and more. These latest adventures test the Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) and prove that even a madman with a box needs help sometimes.

Say farewell to the Ponds all over again. Meet the enigmatic Clara for the first time – and the second, and the third. Face enemies new and old, follow the Doctor to the one place he should never go, and learn the secret to a really great soufflé. With a cliffhanger ending that will leave fans breathless, this set arrives just in time to catch up before the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special on November 23, and the Doctor’s regeneration in this year’s Christmas Special.

In The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe, the 2011 Christmas Special, the Doctor proves that sometimes wishes really do come true when his mysterious gift leads Madge Arwell and her two children to a magical wintry wonderland. Then, in the first part of series seven, the Ponds (Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill) make their final voyages with the Doctor. They save a spaceship full of dinosaurs, don Stetsons in the Wild West and are even kidnapped by the Doctor’s oldest foe. But when they arrive in Manhattan the Weeping Angels are waiting for them – and the Doctor has to say goodbye to his companions forever.

The 2012 Christmas special, The Snowmen, brings the Doctor a new friend (Jenna Coleman) in Victorian London – but has he already met her before? And will she be able to pull him from his mourning in time to save London from the chilling menace that threatens it? The final eight episodes of series seven see the Doctor and his new companion battle monsters on distant alien planets, become trapped in a Russian submarine with a deadly passenger, chase terrifying ghosts, and come face-to-face with an army of upgraded Cybermen. When his friends are kidnapped, the Doctor and Clara are forced to visit the fields of Trenzalore, where the question that must never be answered is finally asked… and the Doctor uncovers the secret of the Impossible Girl.

The incredible list of guest stars includes John Hurt (Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy), Warwick Davis (Willow, the Harry Potter films) Liam Cunningham (Game of Thrones), David Warner (Titanic, TRON), Dougray Scott (Hemlock Grove, Ever After: A Cinderella Story), Ben Browder (Farscape), David Bradley (Game of Thrones) Jessica Raine (Call The Midwife, The Woman in Black), the mother-daughter duo of Dame Diana Rigg (Game of Thrones) and Rachael Stirling (Women in Love, Snow White and the Huntsman), and the voice of Sir Ian McKellan (The Lord of The Rings films). The episodes are written by lead writer and executive producer Steven Moffat, as well as Neil Gaiman, Mark Gatiss, Neil Cross, Chris Chibnall, Toby Whithouse and Stephen Thompson.

    WANT to have them on bluray, but then I have to suffer the stupid “THIS IS A BLURAY” blue label across the top which really detracts from the cover 😡

    WANT to have them on bluray, but then I have to suffer the good cover being ruined with a silly “THIS IS A BLURAY” label across the top, which distracts and ruins it :p

      What do you mean?
      Blu-ray and DVD covers are generally the same. :/

    Like it says, 5 discs is probably right. All the other series’ only had 6 discs because the last disc was the confidentials. Seeing how there wasn’t any this year, there’d be no need for a 6th disc 🙂

    I see no reason why it should be six.
    The whole series, including TDTWATW, could easily fit on to five discs.

      Even with the Special features it’ll still fit.

      It could be 6, despite what the box art says. But all 15 episodes can easily fit in among 5 discs, seeing as they’ve been seen to carry 3-4 in the past, plus extras:

      DISC 1: TDTWATW/Asylum/Dinosaurs
      DISC 2: Mercy/Power3/Angels
      DISC 3: Snowmen/Bells/Akhaten
      DISC 4: Cold/Hide/Journey
      DISC 5: Crimson/Nightmare/Name

    Isn’t this artwork already been made redundant? Because this was made before they decided to put the extra episode on, which will bump it up to 6 disks. Never the less, i am still buying this version!
