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

March 28th, 2013 - 3:44pmCould be all the episodes containing regenerations
gordon
March 28th, 2013 - 3:49pmIts only a 6 disc set so I doubt it
rob
April 1st, 2013 - 10:02pmTry http://www.sainsburysentertainment.co.uk/en/Films-TV/DVD/Matt-Smith/Doctor-Who-Regeneration-Box/product.html?product=E11219485 – sainsbury’s have a nice picture and a big clu for you fellas…
gordon
April 1st, 2013 - 11:02pmThats only temp cover and Sainsburys said matt smith was on the legacy box (even though he wasn’t)
Joshua Duffy
March 28th, 2013 - 3:02pmI think the box set might contain
1. The Dalek Invasion Of Earth Special Edition
2. Dimensions In Time
2. The Curse Of Fatal Death
4. Death Comes To Time
5. Real Time
E
March 28th, 2013 - 3:12pmAs has been frequently mentioned, the curse of fatal death can’t be released
drjakeyoung
March 28th, 2013 - 3:27pmcurse of fatal death can be released, its dimensions in time that cant.
Connor
March 28th, 2013 - 10:54pmI think in this box set are:
Dalek invasion of earth special edition
Earthshock special edition
And a special feture dvd featuring all the spin off storys like:
Curse of Fatal Death
Autonomy the 3 part auton series
Shakedown with the sontarans and the rutans
Real time
Death comes to time
And other spin off and web cast stuff on a 2 disk set maybe? Whats your thoughts i think its highly possible!
gordon
March 28th, 2013 - 11:10pmWon’t include automy or shakedown as BBC don’t own the rights to those and Dan hall has no interest in unofficial spin offs. I think the webcast stuff if it does appear will more likely appear in shalka
pathdw98
March 29th, 2013 - 12:42amIf Dan Hall isn’t interested in unofficial spin offs, How come the fan film Devious was on the war games? Surely things like shakedown would be of more interest to fans? Also, because Devious is on the dvd, is this now the official regeneration between the 2nd and 3rd doctors?(with the other doctor)
gordon
March 29th, 2013 - 12:53amThat was included for historical reasons as it was the last time jon played the doctor.
time and relotive dimens
March 30th, 2013 - 11:00amdude. like Gordon said to me dimensions in time will NEVER be on dvd
josh smith
April 9th, 2013 - 5:13pmdimentions of time might be on DVD
never say never as things changed
Lachie
March 28th, 2013 - 5:15amseriously what in the world is this??????????????????!!!!!!
celestial toymaker
March 28th, 2013 - 2:19pmpeople think a Time and the Rani SE might be in it
Blake
March 29th, 2013 - 9:54amWhy would it be time and the rani SE, it’s only 3/4 years old
drjakeyoung
March 29th, 2013 - 9:56amit was only 2010
Some bloke
March 27th, 2013 - 8:42pmBBC Shop now has it up for £42.99

Some bloke
March 27th, 2013 - 9:08pmI know, its quite handy 😀
gordon
March 27th, 2013 - 2:04pmGalaxy 4 web shop lists it as a 6 disc set
The TARDIS
March 27th, 2013 - 3:51pmprobably 3 two disc sets then. or two singles and two doubles. 😕
Joshua Duffy
March 28th, 2013 - 3:06pmBut it was reconstructed in the Special Edition of The Aztecs
gordon
March 28th, 2013 - 3:46pmThere is a webshop called galaxy 4 that sells DVDs
Mr Zarbi
March 26th, 2013 - 5:06pmRegen stories we need
10th planet
Power of the Daleks
Hmm There are rumours that all missing episodes will be announced 2013. 50 th anneversay is what they’re doing it for
gordon
March 26th, 2013 - 6:41pmRumours of missing episodes being found is just that a rumour. Mostly coming from wishfull thinking from fans
Joshua Duffy
March 28th, 2013 - 3:04pmSorry to say but The Power Of The Daleks is missing in BBC archives only clips of it were found and added as a special feature on disc 3 of Lost In Time
Mr Zarbi
March 28th, 2013 - 4:49pmBut maybe they’ve found it
josh smith
April 9th, 2013 - 5:07pmthey would have said by now
gordon
March 25th, 2013 - 10:58pmGalaxy 4 webshop has the regeneration box set at the rrp of £59.99
Must have something special or interesting in it to have an rrp of 60 quid.
AlzieWhozie
March 26th, 2013 - 1:59pm£60!?!? Are they having a laugh, unless they have found Power of the Daleks and over an hour of making-of Power in colour this could be a failure. Still, we wait to see.
hi
April 1st, 2013 - 1:35pmyes so it must be episodes completed with animation
Radburn
March 25th, 2013 - 10:40amWell if it isn’t something new & fresh it will be a bit pointless buying it! If the details eventually released give a fantastic package I’ll fork out – Just as long as it doesn’t become ‘The Regurgitation Box Set’…
THE ERGON
March 25th, 2013 - 10:22amAmazon now have zygons as a 30th september release date.
THE ERGON
March 25th, 2013 - 10:17amIf they are random stories,it could be that they may use this as an excuse to re-issue other dvds as part of the fiftieth anniversary by covering one release for each doctor. Incidentally can i ask, will they put episodes 2 and 3 of the underwater menace together as part of a reconstruction on the ice warriors release. It would be ideal.
gordon
March 25th, 2013 - 11:16amIf it was going on ice warriors I suspect we wwould know about it by now
pathdw98
March 25th, 2013 - 1:14pmI think underwater menace will almost certainly have animation as Frazer Hines said in the last DWM he had recorded a new commentary for it.
If it was going to be recon only, it would have been like galaxy 4 with no commentary IMO.
THE ERGON
March 26th, 2013 - 1:14pmHave they confirmed all the extras? They might be leaving it as a last minute bonus extra
celestial toymaker
March 26th, 2013 - 1:21pmNo they havent too early yet
Sammi Carter
March 24th, 2013 - 10:28pmI Cant Wait to get This Set. just waiting for details about what it contains
JD95
March 28th, 2013 - 2:25pmI’d wait to see what it is first you would hate to pre-order it and find out that it’s a load of rubbish for example every episode of New-Who haha
Andrew Shaw
March 24th, 2013 - 7:40pmIn really hope they don’t put all the episodes due for release off because of this as I wont be buying they should put missing episodes in but what I would do is put the first and last episode of every Doctor in it or do something to stop them getting more money out of us like releasing special editions, I don’t buy them I might when I have all DVDs released but I might get The Azttecs as it says it has Galaxy 4 on it.
THE ERGON
March 25th, 2013 - 10:30amWorth the buy for the galaxy 4 episode alone. Which is the real reason for buying again anyway.Plus its reconstructed in a way so you get a feel for the whole story.
gordon
March 25th, 2013 - 11:14amI wouldn’t say its the only reason to buy it. Aztecs got a better restoration and looks much better
THE ERGON
March 26th, 2013 - 1:11pmI,m not suggesting the restoration of the aztecs isn,t better, just that the galaxy 4 episode resells the dvd to those who didn,t buy it first time.
Anonymous
March 24th, 2013 - 7:22pmI know this is off topic but does anyone think POM SE should happen?
pathdw98
March 24th, 2013 - 7:32pmIs POM Pyramids of Mars? If so then yes I think the picture could be made a little better and a good making of.
Connor
March 25th, 2013 - 4:39amI think yes but not rereleased before dalek invasion of earth,Earthshock and the mind robber! Its a good story and the cover could be a little better and the special features need a little more and more clearer picture quality. But iv already got the story but i would definitely buy it again if it got rereleased 🙂
Lachie
March 25th, 2013 - 6:05amYeah i think its one of the best releases. I do hope for a Dalek Invasion of Earth release and i also hope for an Earthshock release, but that’s only because there 2003 releases and there covers aren’t in my opinion the best. I do like updated DVD Covers so it fits in with the collection a little better though and the 40th anniversary logo does not fit well at all for Australian releases.
Connor
March 25th, 2013 - 6:30amYea in Australia were i live, the rainbow 40th annirevsary logo looks terrible! And if you lived in Australia and had that on your shelf you would want that changed too since it dosent match the other doctor who DVDs. So hopefully they do get a rerelease and get better covers for region 4 people sakes! I totally agree with you lachie 😉
Lachie
March 25th, 2013 - 11:54amhaving said that though i think Earth Shock and The Dalek Invasion of Earth are perhaps the only 2, i rather like releases like The Mind Robber, Pyramids of Mars, Horror of Fang Rock and The Leisure Hive its just that 40th Anniversary logo!! haha i live in Sydney, Australia and l’ve been collecting classic who only since last year so Special Edition releases are awesome for me! but for others i can understand why there would be no point for re-releasing them. Besides older releases are super cheap at JB Hi Fi right now 😛
celestial toymaker
March 25th, 2013 - 3:49pma POM SE would be amazing including a pyramid documentary similar to what they did to the aztecs
Connor
March 25th, 2013 - 8:15pmI live in Sydney too 🙂 and i shop at jbhifi aswell, i started collecting doctor who dvds 2 years ago and ive got 102! I live in blue mountain district.
Gordon
March 27th, 2013 - 7:22amI do feel it is worth mentioning that better cover does not factor in the decision by dan hall/restoration team on whether a title should/shouldnt be given the special edition treatment.
Lachie
March 27th, 2013 - 9:39amI think it would be stupid if all they would do is a cover haha Gordon you are completely right, now to think of things they could do to improve Earthshock and Dalek Invasion of Earth Connor! haha 🙂 i live in the Hornsby Shire and i have a good 64 from what is probably now 75% of a years worth of collecting. However l’m only collecting 1-5 Doctors i just can’t stand Doctors 6 or 7 besides that i got Doctor 8 done already from Revisitations 1 haha 😀 l’ve got only 5 left from Doctor 3 and 4 i mean they are the greatest for me 🙂
matparks08
March 23rd, 2013 - 10:43pmIf this is about the regeneration of Dr Who as a series, could it be a box set featuring series 1-6? The show ‘regenerated in 2005 after all’, other series get box sets with the new series added on year after year (supernatural, smallville, for example!) and as we haven’t had one for a couple of years now???? Only a thought, and may be in line with the current price tag too!
drjakeyoung
March 25th, 2013 - 9:34amthey already did that last year. (only region 1)
James
March 28th, 2013 - 7:57pmActually, it could well be the Specials through to series 6/7. The only multi-series boxset out presently is the series 1-4 set; a Regeneration boxset could cover the Specials and the first couple of Matt Smith series, and be about that price (although it would definitely be more than the 6 discs proposed elsewhere).
the astronaut of death
March 23rd, 2013 - 6:27pmI think there are two options that they could put in this box set
1. the tenth planet
2.the war games
3.planet of the spiders
4.Logopolis
5.the caves of androzani
6.time and the rani
7.doctor who movie
8.parting of the ways
9.end of time
or they could put in the best episode of each doctor.
McGann is The Doctor
March 23rd, 2013 - 6:58pmThe latter theory would be unlikely and pretentious, as it is neither appropriate to the title nor possible.
Ergo the best episode for each Doctor is neither definite nor official.
gordon
March 23rd, 2013 - 10:49pmI’ve actually thought it is a possibility. I don’t think it has to be regeneration stories. Have a bunch of stories showing how the show regenerated and changed over the years. It wouldn’t be the first time that they put a bunch of random stories in a set with with a very loose link. Earth story and ace adventures anybody.
josh smith
March 24th, 2013 - 6:03pmno ace adventures had a strong link they both had ace and the storylines were about her!
i wish evey story was in a box set because it makes them cheeper
gordon
March 24th, 2013 - 6:50pmNot really. Happiness patrol I would not call it an ace heavy story and I certainly wouldn’t say the story was about her. Fenric and survival are ace heavy stories hp isn’t. It was only bundled as it was 2 lesser liked stories and they could put any 2 stories that feature ace and call it ace adventures. Box sets are fine but the one thing with them they have a higher budget overall but when split the budget is actually smaller per story.
Ian
March 25th, 2013 - 7:23amIt won’t be the Tenth Planet, that is not due out yet. Probably be like the Dalek and Sontaran box sets, a collection of stories.
I would be annoyed if they release one story we don’t have or a s/e of a story on this and have to pay £45.00 for it.
time and relotive dimens
March 23rd, 2013 - 5:19pmnice. hope to sse these n dvd below
planet of evil speical edition
mission to the unknown
the moonbase
four to doomsday speacial edition
the mind of evil
dimensions in time
reveleoution of the daleks special edition
dark eyes ( 8th doctor audio cd ) but it would be nice for it to be on dvd. big fan of that doctor. want to make a custom one after seeing batmanmarch’s one
gordon
March 23rd, 2013 - 5:59pmWhat’s wrong with the original planet of evil DVD? Dimensions in time won’t get released on DVD as everybody involved worked for free under strict contracts that stated that dimensions in time must never be commercially released even for charity purposes. Mind of evil is due 3rd June. Dark eyes is an audio story and there is little point putting it on DVD when there is no visuals .
drjakeyoung
March 23rd, 2013 - 6:28pmagree with you gordon, exept that on the davros box set they had an entire disk dedicated to the davros audio’s! (they might do the same for this box set).
Anonymous
March 23rd, 2013 - 6:53pmSurvival is my 4th Favourite story
McGann is The Doctor
March 23rd, 2013 - 7:01pmSurvival is awesome, you have great taste mr time and relative, a Revelation of the Daleks rerelease would be nice so they could improve the Dalek voices.
pathdw98
March 24th, 2013 - 12:56amA revelation of the daleks special edition would be a good one. As you said improved voices, but wasn’t there a problem with the subtitles or production info subs? A good enough reason for me.
gordon
March 24th, 2013 - 5:38amWhat’s wrong with the original voices? Roy Skelton did great voices in that one. There was a problem with layer changes on some players. worth pointing out that just about every story has had alternative effects there has always been some players that have had issues
time and relotive dimens
March 25th, 2013 - 6:16pmnow Gordon planet of evil one of my favorite episode so it will be good do see it in special edition. dimensions in time should be out because they put more than 30 years in the tardis on DVD and that’s A special. also i found out about mind of evil on the future DVDs on the mind robber.com before. and finally dark eyes is another favorite of mine. ok
gordon
March 25th, 2013 - 7:34pmBut for planet of evil the picture quality is as good as the restoration team are going to get it the extras are good and the dvd cover is brilliant. Just because its a good story doesn’t mean it deserves a se. There just isn’t enough reasons to do a se. Difference with dit and more than is Dimensions in time can’t be released on dvd for legal reasons and contracts signed in 93. There isn’t any legal reasons that more than can’t be released. Dit on dvd will never officially happen due to legal reasons
time and relotive dimens
March 26th, 2013 - 3:36pmoh.and when i put Revelation of the daleks se i thought that the daleks noise sound wrong.
time and relotive dimens
March 30th, 2013 - 11:04ami agree with you now gordon know plus dimensions in time might be too short for a doctor who dvd
Anonymous
March 23rd, 2013 - 9:58amPeople are saying it will include the tenth planet but maybe it includes Terror Of the Zygons
gordon
March 23rd, 2013 - 10:35amIts not got zygons as that has already got its own release slot. It might have tenth planet and then again it might not. The box set might be called regeneration but that’s not to say the story’s in the box set is regeneration stories. could just be a bunch of stories showing how the show regenerated and changed over the last almost 50 years
Anonymous
March 23rd, 2013 - 10:48amSurvival then
McGann is The Doctor
March 23rd, 2013 - 1:56pmI love Survival 🙂
Anonymous
March 23rd, 2013 - 6:36pmI love Survival too
eddy
March 23rd, 2013 - 6:39pmi loved the cheetah people, i thought it was one of the best episodes i have watched (after remembrance of the daleks)
McGann is The Doctor
March 23rd, 2013 - 7:02pmThe Master is good in it, I mean he’s always good but when him and the Doctor have the fight it’s amazing because they have been rivals for years yet it’s never come to that, not quite anyway.
pathdw98
March 24th, 2013 - 1:08amSurvival is by far Anthony Ainley’s greatest performance as The Master. and as McGann is The Doctor says the fight was brilliant. if The Doctor
didn’t return to earth, would he have really gone wild and killed The Master? We’ll never know.
celestial toymaker
March 25th, 2013 - 6:24pmthey won’t release DIT because of money reasons
TheIrishGallifreyan
March 23rd, 2013 - 9:27amThis could be a box set of DVDs with animations to replace missing episodes as it would mean the stories are now ‘regenerated’ to their full form.
If this was true I would say it would include
The Invasion
The Reign of Terror
The Tenth Planet
and possibly
The Ice Warriors
The Underwater Menace
The Moonbase
The Crusade
Scott the Raptor
March 23rd, 2013 - 9:40amThe Reign of Terror already has animations. Same with The Invasion
gordon
March 23rd, 2013 - 10:17amNo chance of that. With the price it isi expect it to be only about 3 possibly 4 story tops
Connor
March 23rd, 2013 - 11:09amI think it will in clude:
The underwater menace
The Moonbase
The tenth planet or the crusade
josh smith
March 23rd, 2013 - 12:49pmno! it will have around 7 sorties
gordon
March 23rd, 2013 - 1:06pmI expect the rrp to be round about 50 quid (amazons price is always cheaper) and going by previous history of brand new box sets we are looking at about 4 stories max (providing its new stories being released). Key to time had 6 stories and that had a rrp of 80 quid so I can’t see it being as much as 7.
drftgyh
March 31st, 2013 - 5:02pmyes i agree but i would say it would be like lost in time acturly i think more like:
marco polo
the crusades
mission to the unknown
power of the daleks
the highlanders
the moon base
aph89
March 23rd, 2013 - 12:21amI’m pretty sure this is just another box of special editions. One of them I’m pretty sure is the Two Doctors since the DVD release of that recently went out of print in the U.S. (usually that happens in the U.S. right before a re-release comes out).
The Greater Intelligence
March 23rd, 2013 - 2:08amYes, it did just go out of print, but there is no news of a ‘Two Doctors’ Special Edition. It is cimonig out someday, but not until at least 2014 or 2015.
gordon
March 23rd, 2013 - 2:19amAnd that is if they decide to do a 2 doctors special edition. Last I heard was they had no current plans to do 1 as there wouldn’t be enough of an improvement in the picture quality. The original negs also no longer exist which would possibly make improvements problematic.
Connor
March 23rd, 2013 - 11:17amIf it is just another special edition box set then i think the storys will be:
The Dalek invasion of earth
Earthshock
And if theres a third story, The Mind Robber
These storys i have chosen because of 2 reasons, 1: they need special editions. 2: these storys changed doctor who history! These are the reasons:
The dalek invasion of earth: the daleks return,susan leaves, one of the most classic storys in doctor who history.
Earthshock: Cybermen return after 8 years, Adric dies, and one of the best storys in doctor who history!
The Mind Robber: ?
gordon
March 23rd, 2013 - 12:46pmIf it is a box set of rereleases I don’t think it will be special editions more likely it will be just be repackaging. Doesn’t make sence to stop doing box sets for the special editions and start to do them singular for almost a year then do another box set before going back to singular. Also I think if they were to do a dalek invasion of earth they wouldn’t have put the whole scene going interview with Gordon flemming about the dioe film on the Aztecs se.
McGann is The Doctor
March 23rd, 2013 - 7:05pmThe picture improvement isn’t the only thing, a better cover, improved sound and new research on the production, and most importantly a better cover.
Two Doctors is a story that has never gotten a good cover, the VHS, novel and old DVD suffered a very unsubstantial cover. An awesome story deserves an awesome cover !:!:
celestial toymaker
March 25th, 2013 - 4:28pmcorrect
Gordon
March 22nd, 2013 - 9:59pmAmazon has it up for preorder for 44.99 and has now be renamed as regeneration box set. If it is a box set of all the regenerations it would surely be called regenerations not regeneration. Regeneration implies to me is 1 not mutiple regenerations
hi
April 1st, 2013 - 1:38pmits just the name of the box whats inside will not be what it says on the cover
Ryan Denyer
March 22nd, 2013 - 8:00pmMaybe it’s one story from each Doctor (The regeneration story) as, as far as I’m aware only two of them have had Special Edition (Androzani/Movie) or it could have the lost episodes plus The Curse of Fatal Death, Dimensions in Time and possibly some other specials like webcasts etc
Some bloke
March 22nd, 2013 - 8:13pmapparently they cant release dimensions in time due to legal reasons to do with the children in need charity and stuff
josh smith
March 23rd, 2013 - 12:48pmthey can do wat they want it is there program
booboo
March 23rd, 2013 - 12:50pmnot in this case
josh smith
March 23rd, 2013 - 12:50pmoh why canst they?
booboo
March 23rd, 2013 - 12:52pmbecause everyone gave up their time for charity and a commercial release would not benefit it
Esterath
March 23rd, 2013 - 12:51pmThey can’t release it because of legal rights, I think.
gordon
March 23rd, 2013 - 1:12pmThey can’t release it as everybody involved agreed to do it for free in exchange for the agreement that it would not be released commercially in any form for profit( and that includes even releasing it for charitable purposes)
Some bloke
March 24th, 2013 - 10:54pm(1/2) I dont understand why it cant be released for charitable purposes. It seems silly to think that back in 1993 everyone involved said ‘We’ll do it for free cus its for charity but we wont release it to the public in any format, so then it cant help make any more money for charity.’ If it were to be released for charitable purposes then that should have been fine, right?
Some bloke
March 24th, 2013 - 10:54pm(2/2) I mean these days, when artists make songs to support a charity, that is sold to the public and then all of that money is donated to the charity, so I don’t see why the bbc didn’t release to raise money. Sounds stupid 🙁
gordon
March 24th, 2013 - 11:50pmIt was different times in 1993 and things worked differently then. BBC had pretty much no love for the show. It was contractually agreed that everybody involved would work for free in exchange for the BBC not to be makng money out of it in any shape or form beyond its tv broadcast. There is no way it can be released because of the legaly binding contract signed in 1993. .

March 22nd, 2013 - 5:27pmbooboo, what was the 1st ever dr who dvd box set
Some bloke
March 22nd, 2013 - 5:32pmit was the original key to time set which were to a limited number(the one i own), but the next one was lost in time, then dalek collectors edition, then the beginning boxset

March 22nd, 2013 - 7:27pmCould this boxset be possibly a similiar kind of thing to the Lost in Time Boxset but every exisiting episode plus the recently found two aswell as possibly some animations and a whole load of goodies on the special features and commentaries?

March 22nd, 2013 - 7:31pmthe original key to time box set was released in region 1. the one you have was released in 2007/08.
The Monitor
March 22nd, 2013 - 7:57pmThat is correct. I bought The Key to Time in the US in 2003. It is not the first time other countries have had Doctor Who stories before us. The Deadly Assassin on VHS was another example.
The Monitor
March 22nd, 2013 - 8:02pmAnd sometimes, other countries release box sets that have never been released in this country.
The Italian box set L’invasione contains The Invasion, The Mind Robber and The Seeds of Death.

March 22nd, 2013 - 10:01pmsame with the complete david tennant years and the series 1-6 collection, they were never released in this country 🙁

April 7th, 2013 - 12:30pmI seem to remeber “The Beginning” being the 1st boxset

March 22nd, 2013 - 4:25pmAlso, all these special editions are coming out at the start of the year, but they are leaving my favorite episode till August! THE GREEN DEATH! ;O

March 22nd, 2013 - 4:24pmCould this actually be the series 7 boxset?
When series 6 part 2 was released, the box set came a month later. similar sort of time span between series 7 part 2 and this.
gordon
March 22nd, 2013 - 5:07pmThat’s what I thought at first but the lack of blu ray makes me think its something else. Plus if it wasthe complete series 7 why call it regeneration
drjakeyoung
March 22nd, 2013 - 5:21pmgordon, i am trying to find more info about this set at the moment, but there is nothing! just the name and price! if they are going to tease us with this, they could at least do the opposite of what the BBC usually do and tell us things sooner!It is a DVD not a tv show!
pathdw98
March 23rd, 2013 - 1:34amTo gordon, if it is the series 7 box set my theory is, and I hope I’m wrong on this big time, like the dalek spoiler on the series 7 part 2 set, maybe it has a regeneration cover, if something happens in the finale. Please let me be wrong.

March 24th, 2013 - 7:19pmMust be, since Matt Smith is in both the 50th anniversary special and the Christmas Special.
Besides, it would be a bit horrible if it was a multi-Doctor special and they had to invite him back just after he’d left.
Ben Roberts
March 22nd, 2013 - 4:21pm‘Regenerations box set’? – Maybe it has THE CURSE OF FATAL DEATH in it? I mean, the Doctor regenerated loads in that one! xD
The Monitor
March 22nd, 2013 - 8:12pmThe Tenth Planet and The Curse of Fatal Death certainly have all the unreleased regenerations. But that would be £20 or £30 tops. £41 suggests 3 new stories or equivalent or 4-5 old stories. I think Caves coming out again would be too soon.
I can only think it is Tenth Planet and something else, which could even be non-DVD items. Remember Bessie with The Three Doctors. Perhaps this is The Tenth Planet with a Hartnell and Troughton figure CO figure. That would fit the £41 price tag. Unlikely, but not impossible.

March 22nd, 2013 - 9:03pmI would very much like for that, i was thinking of buying the 1st to 5th Doctor figures for display where there classic dvd’s are on my shelf, i can fit 23 dvd’s per shelf and i have 4 shelves with space at the back for the boxsets and more dvd’s (which i will have to do for the 5th Doctor) l’m only thinking of buying the 1st to the 5th though, a The Caves of Androzani is the last great Classic Story for me, although i do have the TV Movie and that’s alright.
The Silence
March 22nd, 2013 - 11:12pmLachie: ‘Remembrance of the Daleks’ is worth a watch and maybe ‘The Two Doctors’ if you enjoyed Patrick Troughton.
randall
March 22nd, 2013 - 1:46pmWhoknows what the regeneration set is? underwater menace/moonbase and the crusade will all be released with the missing episodes animated at some point in the future
josh smith
March 22nd, 2013 - 4:44pmthey might not be
celestial toymaker
March 22nd, 2013 - 8:46amCould be the stories that haven’t been released as special editions yet 10th planet se?
Some bloke
March 22nd, 2013 - 9:44amok, but the normal edition of tenth planet hasnt been released yet. What would be the point in releasing a special edition version in a box set first then releasing the normal edition?
Lachie
March 22nd, 2013 - 9:08pmi think what he means is by the dvd to be with another cover like the Daemons and others like The Greatest Show in the Galaxy, i think with what we know so far and the picture given that this will be a boxset with all the regeneration sequences, documentaries on each doctor’s era and perhaps a booklet or two with pictures, i think this will be alot like the 10th Doctor Era Boxset in a way except much smaller and obviously with less content
celestial toymaker
March 27th, 2013 - 9:06amNo thats not what I mean at all
AlzieWhozie
March 22nd, 2013 - 8:34amSo, another load of SEs possibly to get more money out of people meaning Terror of the Zygons is knocked into the long grass. Who’s to say that it won’t come out now till 2014? If this does also include Tenth Planet – I’d rather its a stand alone DVD thank-you very much – and I presume then that Mind of Evil will now be delayed? Rant over.
Gordon
March 22nd, 2013 - 8:57amSurely its better to wait and find out what is on the set before moaning about it
Some bloke
March 22nd, 2013 - 9:47ambut when WILL we find out whats on the set?
gordon
March 22nd, 2013 - 9:51amthey will tell all when they want to tell us
Some bloke
March 22nd, 2013 - 9:58amI understand that, Gordon you seem to be very well in-the-know, will you tell us as soon as you hear anything?
AlzieWhozie
March 22nd, 2013 - 11:00amIt just shows contempt by the powers that be.
gordon
March 22nd, 2013 - 11:00amAs soon as I hear anything I will do. I suspect we wont hear anything until BBC worldwide actually announced it
josh smith
March 22nd, 2013 - 4:45pmif they delay the mind of evil i will be mad!
i have never senn it and its the last pertwee i need to seee
The Silence
March 25th, 2013 - 11:10pmI love ‘The Mind of Evil’. It’s really good.
pathdw98
March 26th, 2013 - 4:08amI don’t think the Mind of Evil will be delayed because aren’t they showing it at the BFI soon or they already have done (not sure when). Still can’t think why Zygons has been delayed for this, unless it does include The Tenth Planet.
pathdw98
March 21st, 2013 - 7:06pmDoes anyone have any idea when we will find out more about this? I mean its less than 3 months from release. I think looking at the comments there is as much speculation on this as there is the 50th anniversary special lol.
TheIrishGallifreyan
March 21st, 2013 - 4:53pmThere is a very good chance this contains the tenth planet as they only had one episode to animate.
Some bloke
March 21st, 2013 - 5:09pmits a possibility, but what else will it include?
auton101
March 21st, 2013 - 6:22pmi think the name of the boxset gives it away. all the regenerations of the doctors. but for the price it is it must include about 4 or 5 dvds. so they will have more than one regeneration boxset.
gordon
March 21st, 2013 - 7:02pmOne possibility I’ve thought of it could be a set of stories showing how the show has regenerated andchanged over the almost 50 year history . Add some exclusive interviews from Moffat and smith describing about how each era changed.
Planet Dalek
March 22nd, 2013 - 8:22pmI’m positive it’ll 10th plant on
