June 8th, 2024 - 8:36pmI’d say this will gain some new interest and sales will rise, given the Rogue appearance. Paul Cornell stories always good anyway

June 8th, 2024 - 10:17pmRichard E Grant appearing in the montage of the doctor’s faces in ‘Rogue’. A lot of people might only discover this quite good dvd because of that

June 9th, 2024 - 7:43amIndeed. I’ve just ordered it from HMV as its still in stock there. Never seen it before. It was in stock yesterday on Amazon but is now suddenly out of stock so I think you’re right. Definitely going to go up in sales.

June 9th, 2024 - 10:39amIt’s okay. Grant is decent but it takes time for him to really get into it. The plot is good but I find it jumps around the scenes to quickly at times. I prefer the novel to watching it. Although it does feature David Tennant uncredited!

June 9th, 2024 - 5:20pmThat’s one way to get old stock moving…

October 13th, 2013 - 7:27pmIs there am Easter egg on this
CallumEales
September 14th, 2013 - 10:56amis this any good?
The TARDIS
September 5th, 2013 - 6:13pmI think that when The Great Intelligence goes into The Doctor’s timeline, he causes the Doctor to regenerate into Richard E. Grant, the Shalka Doctor. Who then gets older and becomes John Hurt.
If that were true, then I wouldn’t mind Moffat fiddling around with established Doctor Who history.
connor
August 26th, 2013 - 12:43ammy theory is that the 8th doctor regerated into the shalka doctor but somtime after the events of this he broke the promise and he no longer thought of that incarnation as the doctor so when he regenerated again he thought of that as the 9th, if you look at it the shalka doctor looks a bit like a younger john hurt

August 11th, 2013 - 8:28amLooks okay, I think the caption for ‘starring richard e. Grant’ is too big.
It’s not the best cover in the world, but I’ll still buy it.

August 11th, 2013 - 10:01amI saw interesting tweet from outpost skaro where they said: who thinks scream of the shalka is a red herring for a surprise enemy of the world DVD release?
Could this be an hint that enemy of the world might be getting announced for DVD release?
booboo
August 11th, 2013 - 11:00amSo they think BBC Worldwide would market an item and allow every retail site such as Amazon, BBC shop etc etc etc to take pre orders and in some case money for it only for it to be a red herring?
Sammi Carter
August 11th, 2013 - 1:41pmits beginning to sound like bbc worldwide might announce something maybe this week
booboo
August 11th, 2013 - 1:47pmAll i see is people trying to get one over on the other one, site bickering and people claiming to know stuff but wont say anything.
If the BBC officially announce something fine until then i will let the children play their games
Timelord63
July 9th, 2013 - 11:58amHas anybody noticed that Amazon has this listed twice – one at £15.24 other at £19.99 – both region 2. Does anyone know if there are 2 versions of this coming out-a collectors edition?
Sammi Carter
July 17th, 2013 - 12:58pmi saw that too . but now they both around the £15 mark. i’m wondering if dimensions in time is coming to dvd this september.
also what the coming soon expected to be on this dvd release?
Some bloke
July 17th, 2013 - 5:25pmwe will won’t be getting dimensions in time ever! Something to do with the fact it was made for children in need and stuff. Also the coming soon trailer on this will be for terror of the zygons
celestial toymaker
July 20th, 2013 - 12:41pmwhy can’t this be blu rayed?
the doctor
July 21st, 2013 - 2:07pmI do hope they put dimensions in time out on dvd .
Some bloke
July 28th, 2013 - 1:25pmas I said above, Dimensions in time will NEVER be released on DVD!
Sammi Carter
July 29th, 2013 - 8:00amThey lowed the price to £14.28. So I do believe we might get announcement in August about 90 missing episodes recovery that was rumoured last month.
What do you lot think?
Some bloke
July 29th, 2013 - 9:34pmdoubt it!! If it is true then they’re likely to announce it around the october/november time I reckon

July 7th, 2013 - 4:02pmWhere can I get this ?
Trenzalore
July 7th, 2013 - 4:03pmIt’s not out yet, read the writing
Harold Saxon
July 4th, 2013 - 9:44pmIs Derk Jacobi master similar in this to his appearance in utopia?

July 31st, 2013 - 9:24pmNot really.
josh smith
June 30th, 2013 - 7:12pmis this the R2 cover?
booboo
June 30th, 2013 - 7:13pmno R1
RastonEd
May 23rd, 2013 - 8:44pmI watched this when it came out, but last night I just went onto dailymotion and watched it for nothing. Personally, Richard e grant is better at the great intelligence than his Dracula-doctor. The angles were also really messed up
McGann is the Doctor

josh smith
May 27th, 2013 - 4:46pmRichard E grant is nothing special really. Tom baker is a better actor.
pathdw98
May 23rd, 2013 - 2:51amBooboo, has the release date for this been changed? BBC shop saying 2nd september, but amazon still saying 16th.
POW
May 22nd, 2013 - 8:58pmBut after the events of The Name of the Doctor, when the Great Intelligence stepped into the Doctor’s time stream (as played by Richard E Grant) and this Doctor is voiced by Richard E Grant and is modelled on Richard E Grant, then this could now be considered as a canon adventure in which the Doctor/Great Intelligence embarked on a whole series of adventures. Maybe he was influenced by Clara to do good! 🙂
videogamemad00
May 22nd, 2013 - 9:14pmBEST.THEROY.EVER. i don’t normally like theories because they are usually really stupid. This is actually plausable.
MasterKasterborous
May 23rd, 2013 - 9:30pmThat was my first thought when I watched him step into the rip in time. You didn’t get that off GB by any chance did you…
Caitlin
June 15th, 2013 - 10:50amA better theory is that the john hurt doctor first regenerated into a Richard E grant Doctor, but events in the time war being wibbly as they are the events causing the regenerating were undone and when john hurt doctor regenerated again it was into Eccleston doctor. THe timeline with Grant Doctor became redundant and he all but faded from time but the Idea of him remained…the idea became the Great intellence.
Why else would he be so intent on destroying the doctors past and future

May 22nd, 2013 - 8:36pmScream of the shalka should have been the offical continuation of dr who
Floppy Who
May 22nd, 2013 - 9:43pmIt was intended by the BBC to be the official continuation of the series when it came out in 2003. Then a few weeks later, the new series was commissioned and it all changed…!
MAXP
May 23rd, 2013 - 4:17amThere was a book released where he was presented/ considered as the 9th doctor.
AlphaOmega
May 24th, 2013 - 5:22pmYou never know, they may still consider him for one of the Final Doctors…
MasterKasterborous
May 22nd, 2013 - 7:01pmDon’t get too excited for Dimension in Time as when it was made the contract stated it would only be broadcast once and won’t be put on sale on any format.
drjakeyoung
May 22nd, 2013 - 6:13pmno, it’s colour. (it was 2003)
thedaleksdeath
May 22nd, 2013 - 5:08pmYeah it’s on the Doctor Who offical site I think
Sam Bentley
May 22nd, 2013 - 4:38pmWas the Doctot in the image of Richard E. Grant? As I’ve never been able to tell…
cyberman2
May 22nd, 2013 - 4:27pmwatched on youtube. was brilliant. so getting this
Anonymous
May 22nd, 2013 - 3:43pmDo you think the shalka doctor should be the offical 9th doctor?
The master
May 22nd, 2013 - 4:00pmreally yeah he should be
AlphaOmega
May 22nd, 2013 - 3:39pmSo getting this – no matter what! 🙂
drjakeyoung
May 22nd, 2013 - 1:46pmamazon are pricing the dvds really high!
Anonymous
May 22nd, 2013 - 1:48pmTry the BBC Shop…£13.99 and free delivery
drjakeyoung
May 22nd, 2013 - 1:50pmjust pre ordered all the dr who dvds for this year from them, much better.
Mels
May 22nd, 2013 - 11:55amOh nice! This has been a long time coming.
Rooners
May 22nd, 2013 - 11:11amBBC Shop is selling it for £13….its only Amazon with the ridiculous price….so I think the BBC are free of blame here 😉
Time Lord 85
May 22nd, 2013 - 11:02amMaybe getting a bit too fannish here, but i’ve always seen this as the timeline that was supposed to be if the Time War hadn’t happened. It does have more of a classic series feel to it, you could say this was the true final end of the classic series format.
TheWhomobile
May 22nd, 2013 - 10:34amIs this going to be part of the classic DVD range or a separate release on its own?
DOCTOR WHO ONE
May 22nd, 2013 - 10:48amA separate release, since it’s not really part of continuity within the series.
I wonder if they’ll also do the 6th Doctor web-cast story ‘Real Time’ as well on DVD. The one with the Cybermen with red eyes.
Time Lord 85
May 22nd, 2013 - 10:54amIt is actually being sold as part of the classic releases, even if it doesn’t follow the new series continuity.
