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

      I’m guessing you’ve found the ‘at home’ site? I asked them about that in February, and they said it was their sister site, “the catalogue company”. So they must do mail order too. The £999 price is their temporary out of stock indication (which could well turn permanent).

    Has anyone who ordered a signed collection Season 14 set from louise Jamesons website had theres yet? Or any ideas when signed editions useally ship. Orderd a few months ago because leela is one of my favourite companions. I’ve never bought a signed one before so just seeing if anyone can shed more light on it and when to expect it. Lack of emails is alittle worrying for me

    Has anyone else spotted a decreasing physical quality on these sets? More instances of badly off-centre printing on the spines, more copies with dents on the front cover where the opening fold is? I’ve seen it since the Season 26 release, when the previous ones tended to be fine. Perhaps the factory changed?

      Although I display my sets with full covers on view I have noticed issues with the spine.

      Seasons 12 2nd edition, 14, 23 and 26 have the back cover now coming all the way to edge of Spine picture which is noticeable when you line the spines up.

      Originally to left of spine picture there was always at least a couple of millimetres of grey. For example, on Season 10, 12 (1st edition), 18 and 19.

      My OCD hates it.

      May 5th, 2020 - 5:24pm

      Yes….usually top left hand corner or the edges are sometimes bent. The cardboard sleeves can also be prone to damage. That’s why I always try to get it on the shelf at HMV so I can pick a decent one. They should have held off releasing this till lockdown was over. I managed to get one luckily from Argos,,, although people are buying them up to sell for ransom.

      I agree about season 13, that one will be crazy. I’ll have to pre order from three different places just to hope one copy makes it to my doorstep.

      As for my season 14, still no movement or shipping notice from Amazon, but no Cancellation email from them either, so keeping my fingers crossed.

    Pre-ordered this on the day of release from Amazon and it arrived today even though Amazon says 11th-13th May as delivery date. Don’t lose hope guys, hopefully all of the issues that this season’s release is currently having will be sorted once the coronavirus situation either eases up or vanishes entirely, until then it’s just a case of having patience which is obviously difficult but unfortunately there’s not much else you can do. Good luck to all those still waiting and having problems, hopefully your set will find its way to you soon.

    I think a lot of Amazon orders are being prioritized. My copy has been sitting on preparing for dispatch for days. I got in to contact with Amazon , and being in the U. S my order was put back to be shipped later this week. For those of you still worrying don’t lose hope!

      I had the same reply from Zavvi, as soon as I heard they got zilch from supplier I went to Argos and ordered online and collected it later that day, I got it just in time.

      I will def be going back to Amazon for the next one, especially now that I am officially a Prime member.

    I was checking argos website every day but season 14 was never on. Then when i checked after midnight on sunday all of a sudden season 14 was now pictured but sold out. When did these actually appear on their site and how long before they sold out because it must have been within minutes of going live. Im getting really fed up with this now. No point in collecting these anymore.

      If you look back over the thread, Argos had stock up to almost 9am on Monday with more then popping up over the next 24 hours. I think you might have been unlucky enough to find the set when it was listed but not actually ready to buy, so it seemed sold out. There were copies all over the country when I was looking at 3.30 Monday.

      “We’re still trying to obtain the item(s) which you ordered on February 23 2020… We’ll email you as soon as we have a delivery date, and we’re making every effort to ship your order as soon as possible. If you would prefer, you can cancel this order”

    I’m considering abandoning trying to collect these sets now unless the BBC starts making more copies. I missed the original season 12 release, then wasn’t quite quick enough for the reissue and ended up having to pay double the price to a scalper on eBay. Now my Amazon order for season 14 is on hold with a “we’re still trying to obtain the item” email from them today. This is becoming too stressful!

      Zoom on preorder day 1 and to Daz, i display the blurays though i put the discs into the old DVD cases. Its just easier to get out if i want a rewatch. I save the Behind the sofa features till last. I enjoy them even though most of the time they never say anything profound or something we don,t know. Its a bit like Gogglebox for Whovians.

      If the bbc make too much of them they will be left with a ton of unused stock leading to lost sales and lost profit. These are reliant on selling on their allocation. However with the coronavirus and the sets being made abroad the number of sets that were able to produce has been hampered. I’m sure with this situation more will get produced in time

    • Rob W

      May 5th, 2020 - 11:57am

      They lose out anyway as people are selling them at £100 plus when they could have sold all copies through their own (now closed) BBC Store. One copy per buyer, they know who’s bought do IF there’s a problem with the discs it’s easier to sort out.

      Well, I got that out of system.

      I do hope you get your copies folks. Kepp smiling…

      The Season 12 reissue was selling for those prices just after release, but the sheer glut forced prices down to £70-80 a month or two later. Yes, it’s more than the pre-order price, but better than what’s on offer now. If you wait, or check Argos from time to time, you’ll probably be ok.

    Amazon Australia have them, but won’t ship to the UK so you’ll need some mates over there. Box looks the same but with different certificate logo I think. That’s what I’ve gone for after missing them at Amazon, ordering from Base.com only to be told months later they didn’t have enough after all, refusing to go above £80 on eBay and not staying up all night in case Argos had any.

      May 4th, 2020 - 9:54pm

      Yes they press the same amount of each season. They increased the amount produced after the release of Season 12 to meet demand. This allowed them to release a 2nd edition of season 12 for those that missed out .
