Doctor Who DVD / Book: Regeneration – More Details
Doctor Who Regenerations box set
With thanks to BBC Worldwide…
Doctor Who Regeneration
Available from 24 June 2013
The Doctor Who Regeneration set is a beautifully packaged, limited edition coffee table book-styled collectors’ album including six DVDs and over 10 hours of Doctor Who footage.
The collection features each Doctor’s iconic regeneration episode; from the first Doctor played by William Hartnell, exhausted after battling the Cybermen to Jon Pertwee’s Third Doctor suffering from radiation that had been unleashed by the Great One (a giant spider); and from the spectacular transformation of the Ninth Doctor to David Tennant’s emotional farewell as the Tenth.
The set is adorned with superb photography from across the era and features detailed and informative accounts of each regeneration. And if that wasn’t enough, new to DVD is The Tenth Planet featuring the Doctor’s first regeneration – beautifully restored with the missing fourth episode now brought to life with stunning animation.
Utilising the original soundtrack, off-screen photographs and a short surviving sequence of the Doctor’s regeneration the episode has been now reconstructed in animated form, incorporating the restored version of the surviving sequence.
A full list of stories included on the DVD are:
· The Tenth Planet
· The War Games
· Planet of the Spiders
· Logopolis
· The Caves of Androzani
· Time and the Rani
· Doctor Who: The Movie
· Bad Wolf & The Parting of the Ways
· The End of Time

auton101
March 21st, 2013 - 6:23pmwith all of them, it would cost over £100
Anonymous
March 21st, 2013 - 6:38pmI know said it probably won’t happen
auton101
March 21st, 2013 - 6:39pmwell it could happen if they split them up in to four each boxset.
eddy
March 21st, 2013 - 6:50pmwhat is the point, they have all been released anyway, really don’t want repeats.
auton101
March 21st, 2013 - 9:44pmthats true, i think “The Daleks” should stay as a one off in the beginning boxset. so not sold in any other boxsets. i not sure
Tardisnt
March 21st, 2013 - 3:24pmi have a feeling that this is every episode with a regeneration in
Tardis’nt
March 21st, 2013 - 3:26pmI mean i think this is a boxset of every episode with a regeneration in including the other 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 e.t.c. parts.
Lachie
March 22nd, 2013 - 6:15amThis is perhaps the best guess i would think, with Doctors 1-5 in like the first dvd and then 6-11 in the second dvd
matparks08
March 21st, 2013 - 1:09pmGoing off the price (£41) I’d imagine it will be a maximum of 7 dvds. The other Revisitiation box sets average at £6 per story. No ideas……it’s certainly got everyone talking…..what is it precious? What is it???
celestial toymaker
March 21st, 2013 - 10:02amI never expected this at all
lee moone
March 21st, 2013 - 8:35amMy guess would be 10th planet & repackaged Power of The Daleks that was a CD rom release of telesnaps & narration about 8yrs back. Probably a dull documentary about re generations made for BBC America thrown in too! I’d rather have the Zygons release in June please, move something else!
gordon
March 21st, 2013 - 8:45amThe only other thing due in June that they could move is mind of evil and i rather they didn’t
drjakeyoung
March 21st, 2013 - 1:44pmyea, i want mind of evil so then it can complete my pertwee collection. (bar green death SE and a possible SE of invasion of the dinosaurs with episode 1 fully colored by bablecolor.)
The Ice Warrior
March 21st, 2013 - 1:52pmsoz Whos bablecolour
Some bloke
March 21st, 2013 - 4:29pmhe’s a youtuber and he recently colourised episode 1 of mind of evil for dvd. Hus real name is stuart humphreys. as said he’s on youtube as babelcolour. Look him up, he has some great stuff on there!
The Ice Warrior
March 21st, 2013 - 6:43pmOh thanks so the bbc paid for his episode 1 then
Some bloke
March 21st, 2013 - 8:11pmthey got their team to re-colour the other 5 episodes, using existing chroma dots in the video. Apparently Episode 1 (babelcolour’s) is the best, episode 2 is a bit shaky on the colour, but then episodes 3,4,5 and 6 are better than 2. Hopefully it should be a good release.
Please correct if I’m wrong in any of that 😀
MasterKasterborous
March 21st, 2013 - 11:28pmTechnically they didn’t ‘re-colour’ the final five episodes, that would be manually adding the colour like episode 1. It’s actually called colour-recovery. If we’re being technical, the episodes exist on film rather than tape! 😛
I saw it at the BFI and will certainly agree with the statement above, episode 1 was by far and away the best.
[I noticed my last comment was removed and probably for good reason. If it was for correcting someone on spelling then I didn’t mean to cause any offence it was just because it is someone’s name.(Humphryes)]
Some bloke
March 22nd, 2013 - 12:39pmthank you masterkasterborour, and thanks for pointing out the spelling mistake ( i assume it was for me :)) and no you did not offend me in any way. I’m really excited for mind of evil
Anonymous
March 22nd, 2013 - 4:19pmI will be mighty annoyed if they move The Mind of Evil. That and Terror of the Zygons are my most anticipated releases of the year and I don’t want them moved back. I’m hoping this box-set ISN’T a re-release, because although it would be nice to have special editions of the likes of An Unearthly Child, Robot and Survival – I would much prefer the new releases first. I have a very big hunch that this is in fact The Tenth Planet bought forward, and maybe if we’re lucky – a recon (or even secretly animated version of Power of the Daleks)
The TARDIS
March 21st, 2013 - 7:41amI buy everything! The BBC have a perfect money making machine in all serious who fans.
Lachie
March 21st, 2013 - 6:30amfirst of all its highly likely that this will be classic series since tenth planet is coming out this year, i don’t think they would sell this counting both classic series and new series regenerations and i think if this is classic series then this is bound to be the first of what’s to come with older releases being repackaged with others like with VHS and the Doctor Collections, so new series fans who are just looking for great classic series stories feel hyped 😛
MAXP
March 20th, 2013 - 10:22pmIs Matt Smith leaving then at the end of this season? Wouldn’t the new doctor/actor have been announced by now?
gordon
March 20th, 2013 - 10:32pmHe has already said he is sticking around for series 8
Some bloke
March 20th, 2013 - 10:33pmno he’s not leaving just yet. He will be in the 50th anniversary special and then the christmas special. Nothing is known beyond that. It is assumed that matt smith will be in it for next years series 8. I hope he is 😀
Lachie
March 21st, 2013 - 6:38aml’m hoping for a new show-runner, Moffat shouldn’t be having to cope with running Sherlock and Doctor Who, i could go on comparing the positives from Russell T Davies Era and the negatives with Moffat Era but i won’t because its been said a dozen times, i just think a new Show-Runner and a new Doctor would be good to see, Mat Smith is great as the Doctor though and i wouldn’t want him gone until the end of Series 8, but give his leave a bang like “The Caves of Androzani!” put this fun going doctor into hell 😀
gordon
March 21st, 2013 - 7:20amRtd did who torchwood and sja at the same time yet nobody seemed to batter an eyelid. So I don’t see why moffat can’t do who and Sherlock.
The TARDIS
March 21st, 2013 - 7:43amRed only wrote very rarely for torchwood and SJA, he only wrote the openers whilst he was still doing doctor who really.
Scott the Raptor
March 21st, 2013 - 7:58amBecause RTD was still writing good scripts.
gordon
March 21st, 2013 - 8:37amRtd was still involved with producing torchwood and sja at the same time so my point of it being ok for Moffat being involved with who and sherlock still stands.
drjakeyoung
March 21st, 2013 - 8:39amwe haven’t had a new Sherlock episode in over a year! 2 years gap in between every season! and there’s only 3 episodes! it cant be that hard to produce more episodes considering the shortage of dr who episodes he has done the past couple of years.
Some bloke
March 21st, 2013 - 9:34amyeah, but each episode is an hour and a half long. thats movie length. and considering that the actors have been dedicated to other things like star trek: into darkness and the hobbit trilogy. eveything has to be taken into account. Sherlock is a FANTASTIC show and I dont care if it takes two years for a new series, as long as its good, which it ALWAYS is, then I dont mind how long it takes. Sherlock series 3 is apparently started filming this month and will hopefully air at the end of this year 😀
AlzieWhozie
March 21st, 2013 - 1:59pmIn some circles of the production, the coming eight episodes are season 8.
Some bloke
March 21st, 2013 - 4:30pmyes but officially its series 7 part 2
drjakeyoung
March 20th, 2013 - 9:06pmi think this is like the remembrance of the daleks special edition, where it was released in a box set 1st and then released separately. But only this time with the tenth planet and the separate DVD latter on this year. (like i say below, the box set contains all the regeneration episodes).
drjakeyoung
March 20th, 2013 - 8:54pmbig bet it’s just the tenth planet dvd release with special editions of the other regeneration dvds.
Existent Being
March 20th, 2013 - 8:50pmI hope this is the start of releasing all Doctors (including the now classed as classic 9th and 10th) in the classic DVD format, even if they only release the regeneration episodes for the first 5 years or so.
pathdw98
March 20th, 2013 - 11:16pmI would like that. yes I’ve already got the DVDs but to have them match up with the classic style would appeal to me. If they do start releasing new series in classic style, hopefully they have full episodes of confidential.
Existent Being
March 27th, 2013 - 9:21pm6 DVDs only equals all pre-Eccleston regenerations!
Ben Roberts
March 20th, 2013 - 8:28pmMaybe it’s got THE TENTH PLANET and POWER OF THE DALEKS (fully animated), that would make sense. Animating POTD would cost quite a bit.
drjakeyoung
March 20th, 2013 - 8:29pmexcuse me, but are you Ben Roberts from YouTube?
Ben Roberts
March 20th, 2013 - 8:41pm@drjakeyoung – I am! I thought I recognized your name…you used my green title sequence, didn’t you 😀
drjakeyoung
March 20th, 2013 - 8:43pmlol yes, thanks for that! really helped me out 🙂
drjakeyoung
March 20th, 2013 - 8:02pmi have a feeling we will get more info tonight…
Some bloke
March 20th, 2013 - 8:06pmy tonight?
drjakeyoung
March 20th, 2013 - 8:09pmwhenever they announce a strange unknown DVD like this, they usually tease you with more info within 24 hours of announcing it.
Some bloke
March 20th, 2013 - 8:11pmwho officially announced this release anyway
booboo
March 20th, 2013 - 8:12pmIts on Several retailer sites so it much have been solicited by BBC worldwide
Connor
March 20th, 2013 - 8:13pmHopefully they will say what storys are in it and show some pictures of the dvd cover art.
drjakeyoung
March 20th, 2013 - 8:13pmon the picture ( http://www.sainsburysentertainment.co.uk/en/Films-TV/DVD/Matt-Smith/Doctor-Who-Regeneration-Box/product.html?product=E11219485 )it shows all eleven doctors! i think this is a multi doctor set!
Some bloke
March 20th, 2013 - 8:15pmoh ok, its just so annoying them cramming this release in and then shoving ‘zygons’ back so far!
drjakeyoung
March 20th, 2013 - 8:17pmi would wait and see what this release is yet before criticizing it.
Some bloke
March 20th, 2013 - 8:20pmi only hope that its something good and not a re-release
The Greater Intelligence
March 20th, 2013 - 8:48pmI think it would be smart and pretty logical to say that it contains every regeneration story in it. It’ll probably contain:
The Tenth Planet (maybe as an early release)
The War Games
Planet Of The Spiders
Logopolis
The Caves Of Androzani (probabaly Special Edition)
Time And The Rani (because it is where the actual regeneration happened and ‘The Ultimate Foe’ is on ‘Trial’)
Doctor Who: The Movie (again, Special Edition)
Bad Wolf/The Parting Of The Ways
The End Of Time
a sneak peek at the Finale of Season 7, Part 2 because it is Tranzalore.
drjakeyoung
March 20th, 2013 - 8:50pmthis box set comes out after series 7 part 2 has aired, so it might actually contain the series 7 final?
Some bloke
March 20th, 2013 - 8:53pm@drjakeyoung, that link you posted with the image if all eleven doctors, that doesn’t necessarily mean it includes all eleven doctors. That just happens to be someones artwork that sainsbury’s have decided to use to advertise the product.
drjakeyoung
March 20th, 2013 - 8:55pmgo into the description and click on cast and crew and it says matt smith stars in this dvd release
Some bloke
March 20th, 2013 - 8:56pmagain that may just be an assumption, unless booboo can back this up?
drjakeyoung
March 20th, 2013 - 8:59pmbooboo, what do you think?
booboo
March 20th, 2013 - 9:02pmI have no idea although i hope they dont put the 10th planet in with a load of other stuff
The fact that there is no info makes me think this is some sort of new series release
The TARDIS
March 21st, 2013 - 7:46amCould it be Bad Wolf/Parting of the Ways and End of Time in a shiny box like the Dalek and Cybermen collections?
Thehostproductions
March 20th, 2013 - 8:02pmThis better not be the release of the tenth planet as I don’t want to buy all the others again
Some bloke
March 20th, 2013 - 8:04pmhopefully not. Logically the bbc should release it on its own first then, if they wanted to, put it in a box set
josh smith
March 22nd, 2013 - 6:28pmno the other way round would get more money for it
Connor
March 20th, 2013 - 8:00pmWhat does this box set hold? Maybe the tenth planet, power of the daleks and the underwater menace!
Some bloke
March 20th, 2013 - 8:01pmwe dont know yet, considering its only 3 months away, hopefully we’ll get some more info very soon (fingers crossed)
Connor
March 20th, 2013 - 8:06pmOr maybe it has 4 storys in this box set! If so, the tenth planet, power of the daleks ( found)!, the underwater menace and the Moonbase!!! Thats my thoughts whats everyone else’s thoughts? And how many storys are in this box set and is there going to be rereleases in it?
Some bloke
March 20th, 2013 - 8:11pmits a nice idea and I can only wish you are correct. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let this be true, even though it probably isnt
Anonymous
March 20th, 2013 - 8:14pmPart of me hopes that would be true for The Power of the Daleks, but part of me doesn’t (as there is no way The Underwater Menace and The Moonbase could have been animated yet).
drjakeyoung
March 20th, 2013 - 8:00pmjust a lucky guess, i think it contains 9 stories, and those stories are the last from every doctor (not including the 8th doctor). I think this because the tenth planet might have been moved forward and had to replace zygons, so they thought they would do a box set with all the doctors last episodes.
Anonymous
March 21st, 2013 - 4:13pmThat means Survival will be included if you’re theory is correct. Sorry I love Survival it is my 4th favorite Dr who story.
josh smith
March 22nd, 2013 - 6:28pmno then it would be an audio adventure
Cyberking281
March 20th, 2013 - 7:21pmI bet it’ll contain all the last episodes of each doctor when they regenerate
The TARDIS
March 20th, 2013 - 7:41pmIt’d cost a bit more than forty quid if it did, unfortunately…
The TARDIS
March 20th, 2013 - 7:19pmThe Tenth Planet, telesales reconstruction of The Power of the Daleks and a re-release? Robot maybe, as it comes after a regeneration? Or Logopolis?
The TARDIS
March 20th, 2013 - 7:19pmTelesnap
pathdw98
March 20th, 2013 - 7:18pmMaybe it’s The Tenth Planet with a big surprise.
This is wishful thinking but if I remember right, before they went bust, didn’t Cosgrove hall start animating The Power of the Daleks? Maybe they’ve
finished it or, even more wishful thinking, they’ve found it?
Connor
March 20th, 2013 - 8:11pmI have high hopes they found it! Remember the rumors of Power of the daleks was found! Maybe it wasnt a rumor and it was actually found! I hope that is true 😀
gordon
March 20th, 2013 - 8:52pmThey have not found power of the daleks. It was only a rumour.
Blake
March 21st, 2013 - 3:05amThats what i thought Connor, the dvd people said that it was a rumor but thats what they wanted you to think
josh smith
March 22nd, 2013 - 6:29pmno they cant lie its against the advertising act
gordon
March 20th, 2013 - 7:11pmhttp://www.sainsburysentertainment.co.uk/en/Films-TV/DVD/Matt-Smith/Doctor-Who-Regeneration-Box/product.html?product=E11219485
Says it features matt smith

March 20th, 2013 - 8:03pmAnd has pictures of all eleven Doctors.
Adam
March 20th, 2013 - 6:55pmIs there a dvd release for The Snowmen yet???
gordon
March 20th, 2013 - 6:57pm20th may as part of series 7 part 2
Some bloke
March 20th, 2013 - 6:57pmno, it will be released in the series 7 part 2 box set (most likely)
Some bloke
March 20th, 2013 - 6:58pmoh thanks gordon, i wasnt sure if it was included or not, because no sites have specified. 😀
Adam
March 23rd, 2013 - 10:00pmThanks
gordon
March 20th, 2013 - 6:41pmI’m clueless on what this is. I am hopefull it is tenth planet been brought forward and paired with something (its 41 quid so its def not a solo release whatever this is). Would be disappointed if it turned out zygons was pushed back for a reissiue. Seems odd that they would release a box set called regeneration when 10th planet ain’t out yet. Even putting it out first in this boxset as an exclusive for a couple of months followed by a stand alone release later could cause a riot for those that can’t wait.
Some bloke
March 20th, 2013 - 6:48pmon bbc shop site it says that terror of the zygons will be released on september 30th 🙁
gordon
March 20th, 2013 - 7:01pmAnd this regenetation set has seemingly replaced it in the schedule. I will be slightly annoyed if it turns out this regeneration set turns out to be a rerelease
Some bloke
March 20th, 2013 - 7:07pmit’s annoying really. I was REALLY looking forward to ‘terror’ and now it’s been replace by a completely unknown set. Wish they would have given a few more details about the release other than boxset title and price. Ridiculous.
The Ice Warrior
March 20th, 2013 - 7:29pmOh terror of the zygote is out on my bday lol
matt9982
March 20th, 2013 - 6:26pmSince its £41 maybe its a set with all the Doctor’s final episodes. Hence Regeneration set. Hope so that would be great! 🙂
Some bloke
March 20th, 2013 - 6:33pmwhere are you reading this to
DOCTOR WHO ONE
March 20th, 2013 - 6:25pmI imagine it may have something to do with the upcoming release of ‘The Tenth Planet’ seeing as the ending of that story introduced the concept of regeneration.
Then again, it could just be a replacement name for the re-visitations box sets [thou I doubt it offcourse].
Son of Skaro
March 20th, 2013 - 6:13pmIs this The tenth planet bundled with something else?
Some bloke
March 20th, 2013 - 6:22pmthat’s a good idea, it may be a bundle of all 7 classic regeneration stories (tenth planet, war games, planet of spiders, logopolis, caves of androzani, trial of a time lord, and tv movie). Sounds a bit stupid though as the majority of people would already have those and it would be quite pricey!!!!
DOCTOR WHO ONE
March 20th, 2013 - 6:26pmIve got all those on DVD except the Caves of Androzani.
Some bloke
March 20th, 2013 - 6:33pmyeah I’ve got them all already
josh smith
March 20th, 2013 - 6:34pmtrail of a timelord isnt a story
its calleed time and the rani that the regen episode
Some bloke
March 20th, 2013 - 6:36pmwell trial of a timelord IS a story, what you mean is that the regeneration is in Time and the Rani, and thank you for correcting me 🙂
josh smith
March 20th, 2013 - 7:28pmyeah but i call them by the name of the story
so a mysterious planet
mindwar
terror of the vervoids and the untimate for
Some bloke
March 20th, 2013 - 7:36pmdo you mean
The Mysterious Planet
Mindwarp
Terror of the Vervoids
The Ultimate Foe
The TARDIS
March 20th, 2013 - 7:43pmThey’re just the working titles for the stories aren’t they? On the title sequence, it’s classed as trial of a time lord.
Some bloke
March 20th, 2013 - 8:00pmyes The Tardis you are correct, technically they are called together as ‘Trial of A Timelord’, but their sub heading are those four titles
Anonymous
March 20th, 2013 - 8:01pmYes, on the titles sequence, and indeed in all official classifications it is a fourteen part story.
josh smith
March 21st, 2013 - 6:41amno no no then i can call the key to time one long story?
n Wikipedia its classified as individual episodes they are all completely different + there in different dvd cases meaning there all different storys
Blake
March 21st, 2013 - 8:13amBut on the actual title sequences it says trial of a timelord part 1-14 but key to time has different names for it’s story titles
josh smith
March 22nd, 2013 - 7:00ambut there different stories there all directed by different people written by diffrent peeople and have diffrent people in them
Some bloke
March 20th, 2013 - 6:06pmThis may either be a documentary about the regenerations, or just a dvd with all regenerations that have ever been seen in Who
