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.

    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

Assasin, played by Peter Pratt. RRP: £56.16

      My 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.

    I 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?

    Well 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.

      Maybe 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…

      May 2nd, 2020 - 4:46pm

      if 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.

      In 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.

    Hi 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.

    I 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 🙂

      I 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…

      Sounds 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.

    Preordered 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?

    Amazon 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.

      It 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.

    I 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.

      My experience with these guys is really bad. Two items ordered with them and couldn’t fulfill either of them. They take orders they can’t supply. Fingers crossed for you that I just got unlucky!

    has anyone ordered through Zavvi, not heard anything yet? And the post is not as frequent at the moment.

    I am worried

      I ordered from zavvi. Not been despatched yet. No reason to be worried though, it isn’t official release day yet. Zoom have got theirs early that’s all.

      are you still awaiting for it to be dispatched from Zavvi?
