BBC Studios announce release of Season 14 in the Doctor Who: The Collection Blu-Ray range.
Doctor Who fans will be delighted to hear that BBC Studios is releasing Season 14 on Blu-Ray. Tom Baker’s third series as the Doctor will debut on Monday 20th April.

In 1976, Doctor Who took a dramatic new turn, electrifying audiences with changes in format,
companion and appearance of the TARDIS. Season 14 saw the departure of the Doctor’s long-term
companion Sarah Jane Smith, and the introduction of Leela. The season contains some of Tom
Baker’s most iconic serials, with intrepid investigations in Victorian London, deadly robots in a
murderous whodunit, a return to the Doctor’s homeworld, and one of the saddest goodbyes in Doctor
Who history.
Producer Phillip Hinchliffe led Doctor Who through a creative high, joined by Elisabeth Sladen as
Sarah Jane Smith, Louise Jameson as the Doctor’s captivating new companion Leela and guests
stars Tim Pigott-Smith, Stephen Thorne, Peter Pratt, Pamela Salem, David Collings, Christopher
Benjamin and Trevor Baxter.
With all episodes newly remastered from the best available sources, this Blu-ray box set also
contains extensive and exclusive special features which include:
- Immersive 5.1 surround sound – The Deadly Assassin
- Brand new audio commentaries – Tom Baker and Matthew Sweet on selected episodes of
The Face of Evil and The Talons of Weng-Chiang. -
Behind the Sofa – New episodes with Tom Baker, Louise Jameson, Philip Hinchcliffe, plus
companions Sophie Aldred and Peter Purves. - Our Sarah Jane – Elisabeth Sladen Tribute – A feature-length look at the life and career of
Sarah Jane Smith, played by Elisabeth Sladen. - Whose Doctor Who Revisited – Toby Hadoke meets the producers and grown-up stars of
the very first Who Documentary. - In Conversation – Matthew Sweet chats to producer Philip Hinchcliffe.
- Blu-Ray trailer – Louise Jameson has trouble with her new home assistant.
- Brand new interviews
- Rare archive material
- Convention footage
- HD photo galleries
The eight-disc box set also includes hours of extensive special features previously released on DVD.
DOCTOR WHO: THE COLLECTION – SEASON 14 stars Tom Baker as The Fourth Doctor, Elisabeth
Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith and Louise Jameson as Leela. The Master reappears in The Deadly
Assasin, played by Peter Pratt. RRP: £56.16

May 16th, 2020 - 8:16pmI don’t know what more they could have realistically done. The amount that Sony dadc manufactured was severely hampered by the Coronavirus and the global pandemic. Sure they could have delayed it again until they could have gotten significant stock but that could be some time and the length of delay probably wouldn’t have gone down well. The cancellations for day 1 buyers and late arrivals are a problem but that’s more on amazon zoom etc than the people that made the sets
Rob W
May 17th, 2020 - 10:07amI’ve no idea how many were manufactured, but there were enough to ensure the set was number 2 in the U.K sales chart for the week ending 10 May 2020.
John panter
May 16th, 2020 - 1:20pmMine arrived from Spain this am. They shipped it in a thin jiffy bag so inevitably the front was pushed in and corners bruised. For such an expensive item it’s a shame they didn’t protect it with adequate pachaging.
Anonymous
May 16th, 2020 - 2:31pmsame for me :/ have no idea how to make a complaint without using google translate
The Loiterer
May 18th, 2020 - 4:18amThe corner problems are definitely avoidable, but the pushed in fronts look like they’re often a consequence of production. I’ve had those on Collection copies sent in well-packed cardboard boxes, and they’re pushed in all along the line – something that would be hard to do accidentally. The part under the cardboard slip is also fully pushed in, without the slip showing any signs of marking or pressure. My guess is that at least one of the factory’s machines is slightly misaligned in comparison to the others. And it’s irritating.

May 16th, 2020 - 11:32amTheir response time is terrible. I emailed them on the 27/04/2020 about a failed payment and it took them until the 12/05/2020 to reply by which point they cancelled the order so I had lost out and basically gave a one-line reply. Fortunately I managed to get a copy from Zavvi but from now on I’ll go with HMV as they have never let me down…
Gordon
May 16th, 2020 - 1:25pmIt took me a couple of emails to get in contact with them when my s23 didn’t turn up. Their customer service line isn’t the best.
TheRealEnemyOfTheWorld
May 16th, 2020 - 3:25pmi emailed first on the 28th about payment issues but later managed to solve them myself. Now however my order is saying sent to warehouse and has been since release. emailed 11 days ago and have emailed since and heard nothing. they have taken the money so i don’t understand what could be happening. I honestly doubt they even have a customer service team

The Ergon
May 14th, 2020 - 10:57pmI can picture the trailer for the troughton release. An old man penning his memoirs why,ll recounting monsters and tales of an adventurer in an old blue wooden box. At the end he gets up walks out looking out onto the highlands and says something like ‘And i remember it all’ an elderly Jamie from the clan mclaren in full jacobite regalia.
philip shaw
May 15th, 2020 - 7:35amThat would be great but the Timelord’s erased all Jamie’s memories of the Dr bar the Highlanders story… I like your idea though.
The Ergon
May 15th, 2020 - 11:04amThats the irony of it and there were the other big finish stories. Maybe the Timelord memory wipe faded.
daz
May 15th, 2020 - 11:41amI like your idea.
Well the 10th Doctor supposedly visited all the companions as part of his ‘reward’. Maybe he saw Jamie and did his mindmeld thing to give him his memories back?
RPG74
May 15th, 2020 - 1:34pmTen visited all of Ten’s companions, only. If he’d visited all of the Doctor’s previous companions, his death throes would have lasted several days, and the final ten minutes of End of Time 2 would have been twice as insufferable. I think Tennant milked it quite enough, thanks. Anyway, unblocking Jamie’s mind could have ramifications for the timeline.
I do like the idea of Old Jamie in a promo though. But done in a hopeful, yet faintly tragic kind of way. He’s a happy man, he’s led a good life- and yet, he can’t help but feel that there was something MORE. That he was, perhaps, more significant in some way. But as to how, and in what form, he just can’t remember…
Then, we cut to the Troughton/Hines montage.
The Ergon
May 15th, 2020 - 2:00pmi think thats the point i was trying to make. A family man with a life lived but wistful. You get the idea.
daz
May 15th, 2020 - 2:05pmRPG74.
He didn’t actually. RTD stated it in The Writers Tale, and it is hinted at in SJA ‘Death of the Doctor’ which he also wrote. We only saw 10’s companions on screen coz it wouldnt have made any sense to the audience in 2009/10 and would have been a full episode in itself.
If you think Tennant milked it would you say that Capaldi did too? He get an episode and a half out of refusing to regenerate.
eog
May 15th, 2020 - 2:06pmwell in death of the doctor 11 said he went back to see jo and implied he saw everyone before he regenerated so guess we will never know!
DoctorRomanaTARDIS
May 15th, 2020 - 3:16pmI love the idea of both Jamie and Zoe regaining their memories of The Doctor and their travels, they are one of my favourite TARDIS teams.
oh BTW RPG74 The 10th doctor looked back on ALL of the companions not just 10’s, the 11th Doctor mentions it to Jo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMx9GprIum4&feature=emb_logo
RPG74
May 15th, 2020 - 5:30pmIt’s been a while since I watched Death of the Doctor daz, but I always took Eleven’s comment to Jo as referring to a general ‘looking in’ on his old companions, every now and then, discreetly, over many years, and not as something that he took care of once, in quick succession, subsequent to the Four Knocks. If Russell Davies ever suggested otherwise, then I have to say I think that was one of his sillier ideas.

Things that go bump in the night
May 14th, 2020 - 10:35amI have a technical clarification to ask of these classic Doctor Who Collection season sets, given the various ways the new series has been previously handled on blu ray. Of course, I ask this of anyone who knows for sure…
Are the Blu Ray discs in this UK limited edition fully mastered for 1080i50?
Are the Blu Ray discs in the US set fully mastered for 1080p24?
In other words are there two separate mastered assets, or is one of the releases a conversion from a single asset?
I think it’s common knowledge that many of the new series UK Blu Ray sets used a single 1080p24 asset that was standards converted for UK 1080i50 releases resulting in a 4% ‘speed up’ and the audio had to be pitch corrected.
And I believe this was done because the vast majority of US televisions can only handle 60Hz or 24p frame rates – given the US was considered the larger market for the new series therefore this was the preference to save costs to prepare only a single master asset.
Therefore, does anyone know for sure that these ‘The Collection’ sets are the true ‘original’ run time in the UK sets, as well as being separately mastered for the US TV handling needs?
Thank you
Pete O
May 14th, 2020 - 11:58amAre the Blu Ray discs in this UK limited edition fully mastered for 1080i50?
Yes.
Are the Blu Ray discs in the US set fully mastered for 1080p24?
The episodes in the US set are 1080i60 to be fully compatible with US TV sets. They are carefully converted from 1080i50 and run at the same speed.
Things that go bump in the night
May 14th, 2020 - 2:43pmThank you Pete O.
Appreciate your reply and clarification.
Valeyard
May 14th, 2020 - 8:23pmFor what it’s worth, I cannot see a speck of difference between the UK and US discs in terms of picture quality. They’ve taken all the UK disc assets and simply re-encoded them to 1080i60 – that’s it. On my computer, even each disc’s source information on, for example, “Tom Baker Complete Season Seven” registers as “Doctor Who S18”. The menu system and options remain precisely the same, and although you may not get the option of audio navigation or a Doctor’s voice announcing the disc title at the start, there are no pesky PUOs (meaning you’re not forced to sit through logos and copyright warnings) as per the UK discs.
Having said that, if the US range continued the standard set by the first release (Tom Baker Complete Season One) I may have ditched collecting the UK sets in favour of the US ones, in spite of the one missing special feature on that set, the unfavourable season naming convention they’ve adopted for the range and the pared down/simplified artwork. Not only was the whole cover a really good approximation of the UK set for that first release, but it also contained an excellent PDF version of the booklet on Disc Six. Not so any other set since (they haven’t even bothered to include the the disc contents insert on every release either) and the back cover is now always the same dull grey as the spine with the text thereon looking a bit like it’s been quickly thrown together in MS Word. All a bit sloppy, especially compared to the obvious care that’s gone into the presentation of the UK sets (transit damage notwithstanding…).

May 14th, 2020 - 4:18amHi
Just wondering if any one who preordered with simplyhe.com
has actually received their copies yet I was told last week in a e-mail
that they were still awaiting for their pre order copies to arrive from their
supplier
At least I still have the Aussie version to fall back on as that doesn’t release until mid June or July depending on which site you visit 🙂
If any If anyone on this forum in the next day or so receives an spare copy of this boxset then I would be more than willing to buy from them straight away.
many thanks

May 14th, 2020 - 11:12amHey Geoffrey, quick question. How have you managed to preorder the Aussie version? Amazon au just wont let me order, I’ve tried multiple addresses too.
Dr bob
May 14th, 2020 - 1:20pmHi Geoffrey
I had a similar message from simply he. They could not say when they would be getting stocks in. I cancelled my order and purchased from Amazon Spain.
Geoffrey Hill
May 14th, 2020 - 4:33pmHi Jason
I haven’t pre-ordered it from any of the 3 websites in Aussie land that ive found 🙂 its im just mentioning that those websites are still in the pre-order stage through you can not order it sent to the uk directly as the Aussie Gov as banned any direct exports from websites out of Aussie at the moment I don’t know the reasons for this per say so one would have to have it sent to an address in Aussie and then have it reposted to you. I have this ability as my best friend from school moved down under about 10ys ago so it shouldn’t be an problem per say for me 🙂 If I have to get it this way
Anonymous
May 14th, 2020 - 4:42pmHi Geoffrey,
That would explain why they didn’t like my address, thank you. Annoyingly I couldn’t find that information when I was searching for the reason why they wouldn’t deliver as I not had a problem in the past. To add to my annoyance my Australia contact emigrated back to the the UK in February so i’m not doubly unlucky. Guess I’ll just keep my eyes out for copies that aren’t 200% above retail, and worse case fallback on my US pre-order if all else fails. Thanks again.

May 13th, 2020 - 10:33pmMy order from Zavvi AU was dispatched a few hours ago. Delivery date for me is 27 May. Hoping it comes sooner rather than later 🙂

May 13th, 2020 - 6:52pmSo Ive ended up with 2 copies of Season 14, ( one from amazon.co.uk and one from amazon.es ). I’d be willing to let someone else have a copy but I will say (annoyingly) the front cover where it joins the spine is slightly pushed in and a slight dent on the corner, awful packaging considering they are made of cardboard, it’s not terrible by any means but least its a copy! If no one wants it I will send It back as damaged.

The Loiterer
May 14th, 2020 - 2:10amA lot of the collection boxes are pushed in in exactly the same place as on your copy. It must be something to do with the production process.
The Loiterer
May 14th, 2020 - 2:32amI’ve also got a spare copy with similar problems to yours. I could get my money back, but I’m wondering if I should do a charity auction and try to make maximum money for a good cause. The other idea is to sell it for £50 for charity (plus my postage costs) so that more people have a chance to own it. I’d probably pick a winning name out of a hat.
I’d also write something like ‘charity prize’ in permanent marker on the shrink-wrap so that it couldn’t be relisted on eBay as new – at least not without the seller looking like a right git.
I’m guessing Booboo has my email address, so please get in touch if you have an idea on how to do this and would like to discuss it.

Things that go bump in the night
May 13th, 2020 - 11:40amBut look at the listing of those 3 carefully!
The price is approximately 4.6 times the original Amazon selling price.
And, as booboo points out, it’s a third party seller, fulfilled by Amazon logistics.
Steve
May 13th, 2020 - 1:03pmThey’re all sold out again now anyway.
Inquisitor
May 13th, 2020 - 1:07pmI wish people would read these listings carefully before making grand announcements on this site. The listing referred to a third party seller using Fullfilled by Amazon to deliver and they’ve even upped the price to £199 now…. Also season 23, is a US Amazon import, so do be careful if you order, price includes import duties, but not shipping, so looking at £70 to get that.

May 10th, 2020 - 6:29pmArgos generally tend to generate listing on ebay as well as their own website. One to keep on the watch list incase it comes back in stock.

May 11th, 2020 - 12:04amIt’s a glitch, I’ve seen it before, the listings been in existance for about 6 days and should not be visible if out of stock, it should read as out of stock in a header at the top of the listing, and shouldn’t be searchable. It’s giving people false hope. So annoying.
Everyone knows Argos been out of stock since day 1…

Obviously price dependant. My Amazon pre-order has vanished and Amazon aren’t being much help, and everywhere I try is out of stock, or won’t deliver to me. So I figured why not ask. Nothing to lose by asking. Thanks.

May 10th, 2020 - 1:10pmI defy anyone not to have cried by the end of the documentary about Elizabeth Sladen, especially the bit where Tom Baker nearly broke down talking about her death. Brilliant documentary.And so lovely to see Sadie Miller show off Liz’s grandson at the end too ! Sad she did not live to see him grow up 🙁

May 10th, 2020 - 6:12pmI knew the bit where Tom broke down was coming as I’d read a comment about it. I buckled myself in and was determined not to shed a tear…but i failed. It was a lovely piece to watch.

May 10th, 2020 - 3:42pmThat was great thanks Gordon what a nice chap.
I thought he was being interviewed by Adric for a moment.
Perhaps seasons 1-6 will have empty disk trays?

May 10th, 2020 - 9:48pmI like the idea of having disc spaces being left for missing episodes. However I’d like the spaces to at least have discs in them with recons and extras which would you could swap out when animations get made.

May 10th, 2020 - 11:52pmLovely interview.
I’ve always expected missing stories to still have a disc tray space for them. Was good to hear it confirmed.
We’ll either get a disc with soundrack/telesnaps included and documentarys or they’ll leave tray and put it on another disc if space allows.

May 10th, 2020 - 12:34pmNo solid clues about upcoming sets from what I could tell, but a rather informative video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgpvO-GWYhQ

May 10th, 2020 - 4:49pmHe made a good case about spoilers and highlighted the major flaw too.
It would be lovely to see the trailer without knowing what the release is but as he rightly says its always on Amazon before the trailer.
Interesting that he is working on two at any one time and planning a third, still makes me wonder what happened to series 17?
Glad he sounded out people selling these for profit and acknowledged that the problems of 14 are unique. Too many people on social media getting a little too nasty about this

May 11th, 2020 - 12:26amSeason 17 was intentionally made early because Lalla Ward wouldn’t be available at a later date to record for them.

May 10th, 2020 - 12:18pmMy amazon order not changed as showing it will be delivered tomorrow but no updates…now Argos listing on ebay at retail price with 3.95 postage…..!!! I think I will just get the argos one as a back up. It will mean I end up selling the amazon one should it ever appear….God I am going to be seen as one of the scalpers!!!!

May 10th, 2020 - 5:07pmWeird, I can see the Argos ebay listing, not showing as sold out, but no option to buy.

May 10th, 2020 - 6:44pmDid you managed to buy from argos ebay?

May 10th, 2020 - 11:45amOut of curiousity, did Zavvi come through in the end?

May 10th, 2020 - 2:07pmNope. You made the right decision.

May 11th, 2020 - 11:39amNo, which is fairly typical, but still nerve-wracking considering how hard it is to get this particular box set. And even when (if?) they do finally send it, there’s a good chance it will arrive damaged, which has happened to me more than once. I only order from Zavvi as a backup in case I can’t get it from eBay, which is the case this time, but I don’t think I’ll bother in the future.

May 9th, 2020 - 5:23pmI’d be interested to see if there a pattern with the people who got their orders cancelled. I assume everyone who has their copy from amazon were the people who ordered first. First come first serve basically. It’s just confused me because I’m sure I ordered around 24 hours after the pre-order went up and I have mine. And I’m not a prime member.

May 9th, 2020 - 5:37pmI have no argument with Amazon. My copy arrived today along with the series 12 steelbook ( both long pre-ordered). Both in mint condition & things of beauty but let’s get things in perspective guys. It’s only a DVD. People are dying out there. Stay safe.

May 9th, 2020 - 8:38pmI ordered mine on the morning it went up and got it on Tuesday
Liam
May 9th, 2020 - 8:59pmNot necessarily so. I ordered mine within an hour of it appearing on anazon and paid extra for premium but no sign of it….

May 10th, 2020 - 11:55amOrdered in January when announced. Nothing from amazon yet money’s pending on credit card. So who knows.

May 10th, 2020 - 4:35pmSame here. Still nothing… ordered day of preorder going live and no movement yet. Fingers crossed this for something this week!
