Doctor Who Season 1 Steelbook
Available to order from www.amazon.co.uk, www.zavvi.com and www.rarewaves.com
The upcoming season of Doctor Who starring Ncuti Gatwa & Millie Gibson follows the Doctor and his companion Ruby Sunday as they travel across time and space, with adventures all the way from the Regency era in England, to war-torn future worlds.
Throughout their adventures in the TARDIS – a time-travelling ship shaped like a police box – they encounter incredible friends and dangerous foes, including a terrifying bogeyman, and the Doctor’s most powerful enemy yet.

May 1st, 2024 - 4:51pmI had a hunch/fear the BBC would stop physical releases.
So happy to be wrong
Instant pre order

April 30th, 2024 - 8:55pmIt has apparently been confirmed, in reply to someone who emailed the BBC, that Ruby Road will be in the Series 1 set.

April 28th, 2024 - 11:52amThere are 8 episodes and only 6 hours and 10 minutes of content does not make sense

April 28th, 2024 - 1:17pmThat’s an average of 46 minutes per episode. That run time won’t include extras as it’s the main feature running time

April 28th, 2024 - 3:59pmI don’t know why people are finding this hard to get. Run times on DVDs never include extras. Just go and look at your shelves and you will see that. A two hour movie with three hours of extras has a runtime listed of two hours.
The 60th anniversary set has a runtime of 171 minutes or in other words, the episodes, the extras are not listed as part of that runtime. The season episodes must have dropped from Jodie’s longer episode lengths back to the average of 46 mins they had originally when the show came back.

April 26th, 2024 - 4:58amIf it doesn’t include the Church then I’m not going to bother since it’s not really a complete set, and getting a whole blu ray just for one special isn’t my thing

April 26th, 2024 - 2:16pmI am in the same boat – expecting Church to be included on this, and if its not – I wont bother.
I’ll wait until a full set comes out with Church + main series
Gordon
April 26th, 2024 - 3:06pmGoing by the runtime listed on Amazon I suspect it won’t be included

April 25th, 2024 - 6:56pmThis may be a question that has been answered elsewhere, but why is it Season 1?

April 25th, 2024 - 8:44pmNew production company so they must have decided on starting again. Seems daft though.

April 25th, 2024 - 10:29pmAs per iplayer. Classic Who is 1963-1996. Modern Who is 2005 to 2022. New Who is 2023 onwards.
Disney+ only has 2023 onwards so could be potentially daunting for a new viewer seeing Series 14 listed and thinking they are 13 series behind which are not available on the same platform.
Makes sense to reset to Season 1. Fresh start as the 60th Specials were a soft launch. And a new fan can delve into the shows history if they want to once they are hopefully invested in the new show.
Either way it is all Doctor Who no matter what you call it. Some classic fans say it is Season 40 for example.

April 26th, 2024 - 11:08amI can see the disney thing, so I guess it makes sense.
Though New Who is now Modern Who………to make way for the ‘new’ New Who.
I like the way old shows are now called ‘Classic’, so I may adopt that to describe myself.
Tell the kids I am not OLD, i am CLASSIC.

April 25th, 2024 - 5:42pmHopefully this will include The Church On Ruby Road

April 25th, 2024 - 5:11pmPrice generally drops upon release
daz
April 25th, 2024 - 2:48pmMust be today’s announcement. And yes £60 seems a lot but it is the steelbook which usual adds a tenner to the price.
The 60th Specials last year was £30 for just 3 episodes though so not too bad really, maybe.

April 25th, 2024 - 2:56pmYea no collection announcement today then as this is out
Maybe next week, fingers crossed
