Who history.

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.

- Brand new audio commentaries – Tom Baker and Matthew Sweet on selected episodes of
The Face of Evil and The Talons of Weng-Chiang. -

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

The eight-disc box set also includes hours of extensive special features previously released on DVD.

Assasin, played by Peter Pratt. RRP: £56.16

May 2nd, 2020 - 7:49pmZavvi are quiet, starting to get a it worried now. This is becoming a farce. Anyone who pre-ordered on day one should not be biting their names worrying if they are going to get it.
Neill Stringer
May 3rd, 2020 - 12:21amI still haven’t heard anything from Zavvi either, they say to me its due. My friend ordered Season 26 and it was late
Judooning
May 2nd, 2020 - 7:45pmMoney has been taken out my account today for this from Amazon so guessing my copy is safe. I dont understand why some people are getting there cancellation messages. I even ordered a day after pre-order went up.
D84
May 2nd, 2020 - 7:33pmEven though I haven’t ordered the season 14 set, I’m shocked at the amount of people who are experiencing problems with their orders, especially through Amazon. Really hope that everyone who pre-ordered gets their copy in the end!
Prowl
May 2nd, 2020 - 9:45pmMy bank is showing a pending charge from amazon so I think mine should be shipping in a few days. Now I’m just hoping it makes it across the Atlantic safely with everything going on. Had an issue with a season 26 boxset I ordered for a friend and the j card somehow had water damage on it, so hoping season 14 arrives in great shape like they usually do.
Ryan Pollard
May 2nd, 2020 - 5:59pmI am now scared out of my brain knowing that some customers who ordered their copies off Amazon aren’t getting theirs. I ordered mine off Amazon on announcement day and this morning, they said that my order is “progressing as expected and will be delivered” on its estimated delivery date (Tues 5th May). Has anyone else had their orders cancelled form Amazon or is it just the odd few?
Simon
May 2nd, 2020 - 7:01pmHi I am concerned as well as I ordered ok day 1 and currently being told it will arrive next Monday I have live chatted with amazon and they say it will arrive ! But am still concerned
Simon
May 2nd, 2020 - 8:04pmWell I may have spoke too soon amazon has taken the money !
Iain
May 2nd, 2020 - 11:12pmHad Amazon cancel my pre order because the lockers they used were shut because of lock down, when they did this stock had already gone along with my chance of getting copy
Duane
May 2nd, 2020 - 11:52pmHow are people finding out there Amazon order is cancelled. Email or on there chat ? I spoke on chat and they assured me my order was fine even though it has not shipped yet and other people’s have . I’m still worried though.
JaseB
May 2nd, 2020 - 5:56pmWell after HMV shafted me over the series 12 reissue I followed my gut and went with Zoom. It arrived today. I ordered it after Amazon and Zavvi had sold out. Frankly amazed but happy I have it. Two friends have both had thier orders from HMV cancelled and they are fuming. Whilst I would prefer to support high street shops it isn’t happening again. Roll on the next release.
Things that go bump in the night
May 2nd, 2020 - 4:49pmAgreed Booboo.
Let’s have hope that there is some communication error with some customers and that Amazon will be able to fulfil all pre-orders.
Still have everything I have two off crossed that I get my set on Tuesday….
Cheers
Scott knapp
May 2nd, 2020 - 3:32pmAmazon have just updated me about the order. They haven’t got enough stock and have cancelled my order. I ordered on the day it was announced.
If anyone has ordered from amazon be warned. Looks like we ain’t getting it.
Oliver
May 2nd, 2020 - 4:28pmMy amazon order is still ok and I ordered on the first day too – I wonder what’s going on
Things that go bump in the night
May 2nd, 2020 - 4:34pmMaybe BBC reduced the stock allocation to Amazon after the farce related to season 12 2nd Edition replacement?
Many will know that BBC sent replacement stock to Amazon to make good those who got the wrong artwork on earlier sets. But, instead of replacing existing customer sets, Amazon sold on the additional stock. There was a message in the Season 12 thread that the BBC was upset about the retailers behaviour.
Let’s hope not, but it wouldn’t be the first time Amazon had got into a dispute with it’s suppliers.
Hopefully there is someway to make good on customers with pre-orders by BBC reallocating stock.
Peace…
booboo
May 2nd, 2020 - 4:46pmif that’s the case the BBC should take some responsibility if people loose out as Amazon are the 1st retailer named in the official press release and the official TV site as to where to purchase from ( and just so again with Power of the Daleks) Its not good to tell people “buy it from here” then deny them the stock.
Duane
May 2nd, 2020 - 4:50pmI ordered on 1st day also and mine still says arriving Tuesday. The status is still not been dispatched. Anyone had there’s dispatched yet ?
Mikemars62
May 2nd, 2020 - 5:05pmHad payment for my Season 14 taken by Amazon today and received an email stating delivery 12/13 May.
Scott knapp
May 2nd, 2020 - 3:31pmI’ve just spoke with amazon regarding the boxset. It was being prepared for dispatch this morning it then went to not being dispatched yet. They have now told me there isn’t enough stock and have cancelled order.
Fuming isn’t the word. Be warned if you’ve ordered it from amazon.
Chris
May 3rd, 2020 - 9:26amReally sorry for you Scott. I wonder how they deal with allocation of stock? Doesn’t seem fair that people who ordered on day 1 aren’t getting one…

May 2nd, 2020 - 2:26pmPostman’s been and gone, no sign on my copy today. Ordered on announcement day from zoom aswell 🙁

May 2nd, 2020 - 3:06pmI’ve not had mine either, given the current state of the world though it’s likely that they’ll come in dribs and drabs. Fingers crossed for Monday

May 2nd, 2020 - 3:18pmSame here, looks like Tuesday earliest now. I,m glad some people have got their copies but I hope people can keep it spoiler free for us less fortunate and don,t feel the need to brag.

May 2nd, 2020 - 4:10pmI know we’ve got bigger things to worry about but it’s nice to have these to look forward to and we get our hopes up they arrive!

May 2nd, 2020 - 11:10pmIn Cheshire we have had a no saturday delivery for a couple of week, except for packages , not letters or parcels(not sure the difference is) but they announced on wednesday no deliveries on Saturday. Due to staff off, social distancing measures, and staff needing abreak doing tripple shifts. .
Its in the post from ZOOM but its the Covid 19 to blame, not the Posties or Zoom, in this case.
Stay safe and well.

May 2nd, 2020 - 12:35pmReceived mine this morning from the ever reliable Zoom!!!
Total surprise as I thought there was no post on a Saturday at the moment and I’d resigned myself to Monday.
Absolutely overjoyed!
As an added bonus my series 12 boxset also from Zoom arrived with it!!!!!

May 2nd, 2020 - 12:55pmNo letter delivery on Saturdays for the forseeable future but we are still delivering packets and parcels
CHRISTOPHER MAILE
May 2nd, 2020 - 1:03pmYep, got mine this morning too which fittingly is also my birthday (I was also born in 1976 so it’s doubly fitting). It’s absolutely smashing so gonna settle down and start watching the new extras later

May 2nd, 2020 - 12:02pmHi everyone,
Received mine this morning from Zoom. As usual the set is a thing of beauty.
I have sent an email to booboo with pictures so he can update page if needed (…shh Spoilers).
Also included photo of my current display and how I trim down the old dvd booklets to fit inside set boxes as I mention it on here from time to time incase anyone wants to do the same.
Won’t be watching set til next week as have a few more episodes of SJA to watch first.
Enjoy.

May 2nd, 2020 - 11:54amI have a small conundrum in relation to my Zoom order. They went to collect the payment from my bank on 27/04/2020. There was more than enough in the account but the bank blocked the transaction. They deemed it as “suspicious” even though I have used Zoom before. Anyway they told me to contact the retailer to collect the payment again. I emailed them on the same day (as I ordered as a guest) and asked them to collect the payment again to dispatch the order. They have not yet responded and no payment has been taken out. The email from them states that they will automatically cancel the order within 72 hours and as they have not taken this payment within this time I am now worried that they would have cancelled the order which of course is now out of stock everywhere. Has anyone had any similar experiences and could Zoom perhaps honour the order if they haven’t yet responded to the email. I also messaged through there website on Thursday before the 72 hours were up. Any advice would be greatly appreciated 🙂
TheRealEnemyOfTheWorld
May 2nd, 2020 - 3:59pmI have had this exact problem. I preoredered this set and the faceless ones together. The faceless ones came with no issues and then a few days ago zoom denied my payment for some reason. I tried resubmitting it and using different cards but to no avail. I emailed zoom twice over the three days and I still have heard absolutely nothing from them. Atrocious customer service. Then yesterday I tried one more card and it went through. It now says sent to warehouse and they have taken the money so I am cautiously optimistic.
Danny
May 2nd, 2020 - 4:43pm@TheRealEnemyOfTheWorld They may be some hope then.. I have an Argos/Sainsbury’s near me so I may have to try there if Zoom don’t respond on Monday/Tuesday next week. Just out of interest did you manage to get the card payment through within the 72hrs or after as their email states they will cancel the order automatically after this time… and I pressume if so they simply won’t send it as the product is technically “out of stock” on the website… Such a shame as its not really there fault as the bank blocked the transaction but I agree that they should reply to emails a lot quicker seeing as they don’t advertise a phone number and only give you so long to resolve it there is no easy way if you don’t have an account registered with them…
Sons of Skaro
May 3rd, 2020 - 12:19amSounds similar to what happened to the season 12 boxset that I ordered from amazon. A glitch in their payment system meant I couldn’t change to an alternative payment method. I had the message “a problem occurred. Try again later” I was receiving emails every day telling me my order would cancelled after x amount of days and to update the payment method, which I couldn’t do because the issue wasn’t at my end.
I was eventually able to get through to a person instead of a machine.
They were scratching their heads on their end because their tech teams couldn’t figure out how to fix it. I received two emails after that to say they were still trying to fix it and they would get back to me. Never heard a thing after that and my order got cancelled. To add insult to injury a small amount of stock appeared on the day my order got cancelled and I missed out on getting hold of a copy.
Mark
May 2nd, 2020 - 11:11amPreordered on Amazon on 14 Jan, still saying delivery for Tuesday 5th May. But just seen I have a pending withdrawal from my account for £34.99, surely this is the price of the Season 12 DVD due on the 11th May, not the Season 14 Blu-ray?
Rob W
May 2nd, 2020 - 11:22amLog on to your account and check yoyr orders. Amazon’s price gaurantee means you’ll pay the lowest price up to 12 midnight on release day.
Mark
May 2nd, 2020 - 2:59pmRob W – still showing as £39.99 for season 14, delivery Tuesday
Rob W
May 3rd, 2020 - 10:24amThen the £34.99 pending transaction is either an error on Amazon’s part or you’ve something else due to be delivered that costs that amount.
Mark
May 4th, 2020 - 9:32amAs I thought, payment was for season 12 dvd due on the 11th but being delivered today. They’ve just taken payment for season 14 Blu-ray for delivery tomorrow

Anonymous
May 2nd, 2020 - 9:38amAmazon has taken the money out of my account for my box set this morning. If anyone has pre-ordered through UK Amazon, check your accounts.
I think BBC do need to look at their release model on these sets though. To release relatively few, which is enabling the scalpers to make lots of money on your organisation’s hard work isn’t a great business model IMHO. It’d be better to release more at a reasonable price – that way the organisation gets the profit and the fanbase is happy.
Rob W
May 2nd, 2020 - 11:29amAmazon’s pre-order price gaurantee means if the Amazon.co.uk price decreases between the time you place your order and midnight on the release date, you’ll be charged the lowest price.
Ryan Pollard
May 2nd, 2020 - 6:51amHas anyone’s copy been dispatched from Amazon yet? Mine hasn’t and it still says at the moment that mine’s arriving on Tuesday, yet I’m hearing other’s have been delayed till May 11th-15th or June 13th. Should I be concerned at this point and is my order at risk of getting delayed/cancelled?
John Barrett
May 2nd, 2020 - 7:08amMine is on pre order from Amazon, ordered on announcement day, and up last night – no change on my order status.
However, this morning the status has ticked over into “Preparing for despatch” and the charge is now pending on my bank account – that also was not there yesterday.
Delivery still says 11th – 13th May though but i have that all the time with Amazon orders and they turn up a week early
Ryan Pollard
May 2nd, 2020 - 12:11pm@John Barrett So far, that hasn’t happened with mine yet, so I don’t know what’s keeping them.

May 2nd, 2020 - 6:49amJust had a look on eBay and every listing says it’s out of print – before it’s even been released! Is there any chance of there being more stock on Amazon, or am I going to have to shell out for a second hand copy from someone upselling at ridiculous prices?
Anonymous
May 2nd, 2020 - 8:37amIt is sold out they are limited edition and sell out now in the pre-order phase they are that popular, the only way to get one new would be to pay higher on ebay, elsewise try checking CEX in near future if you do not mind one second hand or sometimes HMV have been known to rarely get there hands on some sets that were sold out.
LucasW
May 2nd, 2020 - 9:21amI’ve never had any problems buying these in the week following release though. Every other release I’ve either bought in HMV or on Amazon after the release day. Not going to be taking that risk any more!
Darrion
May 2nd, 2020 - 12:25amHad a chat with Amazon. Has anyone had their money taken from them yet? I still haven’t been charged and it usually happens the Friday before. I’m worried they will cancel my order come Monday. Being in the U.S this is the only way I choose to get the sets. Used to use Zavvi but my season 10 came totally destroyed last summer so I was through with them.
Prowl
May 2nd, 2020 - 2:29amI also live in the states and am really worrried about whether or not my copy will ship. I have every set so far and really don’t want to miss this one. I pre-ordered day one. It says that I should have it by the 13th though, fingers crossed.

May 2nd, 2020 - 12:12amHas anyone with this set or anyother bought signed copies from an actors site. I bought this from louise Jamesons site and wondered if anyone can tell how the delivery useally works. I can imagine it will take alittle longer to be delivered from release dates but apart from confirmation order havent had any email about dispatching it. Is this normal and how long does singed copies useally take. Any info appreciate.

Robert Booth
May 1st, 2020 - 9:14pmI have been told my order will be here on Tuesday from Amazon. However if my experience with the previous box set is anything to go by then I’m not confident. Both the Sylvester McCoy box set and the Troughton Faceless Ones were pre ordered on the day of announcement but I got an email on the day they were due telling me they were out of stock! This usually means that they have under priced it and or can’t get enough copies in despite pre order numbers.
I had to source these from other outlets but searching around today no one else seems to have any available.
I saw one for sale already on ebay for a ridiculous £1000 ….and last time Amazon were selling them from independent sellers at a higher price.
Bring back the BBC shop I say.

before the release date on Amazon and Zoom and every other main site I don’t know why the BBC only creates so damn few copies
