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.

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.

contains extensive and exclusive special features which include:

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

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.

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 5th, 2020 - 5:20pmwhat’s with the price?
booboo
May 5th, 2020 - 6:11pmi have contacted zoom to find out exactly what that site is before we link to it
Zoom.co.uk did the same price wise at one time
The Loiterer
May 5th, 2020 - 9:13pmI’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).
BtsR
May 5th, 2020 - 5:15pmHas 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
Alan Dobbie
May 5th, 2020 - 5:06pmI’m so happy. Mine has arrived today along with the most recent Series 12 DVD. Very impressed with some extra features on the Tom blu-ray. I’ll leave you to see.
Paul D.
May 5th, 2020 - 5:01pmMy Amazon preorder was put on hold, but now it says it’s preparing to dispatch. Can’t wait! Good luck to everyone out there still looking for a copy!
Jordan9364
May 5th, 2020 - 5:23pmMine also says “preparing for dispatch” on the PC (not mobile), but when you click on it, says that they’ll dispatch when they’re back in stock so :\
The Loiterer
May 5th, 2020 - 4:34pmHas 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?
daz
May 5th, 2020 - 5:01pmAlthough 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.
Jon
May 5th, 2020 - 5:24pmYes….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.
The Ergon
May 5th, 2020 - 11:58pmGod help us when season 13 is released.
Prowl
May 6th, 2020 - 7:26amI 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.
Basil Funkenstein
May 5th, 2020 - 4:28pmPre-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.
Emanuel
May 5th, 2020 - 4:26pmI 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!
Gavin Spirrell
May 5th, 2020 - 4:19pmAnyone had any luck with zavvi.
I preordered day it was put up.
But have not heard anything.
Simon Burlingham
May 5th, 2020 - 5:28pmI got a very stupid response from them as I had done the same pre ordered on the day announced in January .. told me it was out of stock and that I could wait or cancel.. ordered on Argos yesterday just been delivered… I think Zavvi literally ignored the pre order and just sent it out to whoever
Neill Stringer
May 6th, 2020 - 11:15amI 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.
Anonymous
May 5th, 2020 - 3:59pmMy Amazon order got cancelled 🙁 can some advice where I can get one at retail price? Having no luck with Argos
booboo
May 5th, 2020 - 4:03pmno where sadly, all you can do it keep re-checking, argos did have more stock early this morning.
What reason was given for the cancellation?
Antonio Zambonini
May 5th, 2020 - 4:14pmAlways recommend selling apps and fb groups is another good way if not there’s always good way off cex getting it in time
I did also see one sit but the Australia version up for preorder early yesterday aswell
CyberLewis
May 5th, 2020 - 3:43pmStill no delivery from zoom, the chance of it arriving is dwindling everyday
Rob W
May 5th, 2020 - 3:59pmZoom’s website says deliveries may take up to 72 hours longer than usual but they are sending everything First Class. You’ll more than likely get it tomorrow mate.
DalekAgent
May 5th, 2020 - 6:51pmDont worry your not the only one, i understand theres delays because of the pandemic but Im just desperate to start watching it
Antonio Zambonini
May 5th, 2020 - 2:55pmYay happy as anything so my girlfriend was paid today and lucky just this moment found one copy for my local Sainsbury’s Argos store come up paid it and now got it
Type 40
May 5th, 2020 - 2:37pmAmazon has delivered. I hope everyone else manages to get their copy.
Judooning
May 5th, 2020 - 2:29pmAmazon have just despatched mine. Arriving monday. The tracker says it’s been sent out.
Hopefully this means everyone else who’s order says arriving on the 11th has the same outcome.
Jordan9364
May 5th, 2020 - 2:14pmWhy is trying to get one of these sets like a game at this point? Try and guess which site will cancel your order! Pick the right one or you’re out of luck. Pre-ordered literal months ago, yet being told they’re not available, but some people have gotten them
Hellbaby
May 5th, 2020 - 1:29pmI had a copy reserved at Argos in Chelmsford when it looked as though Amazon were going to drop the ball… as Amazon have finally delivered the goods (yay!), Argos should have released that one, so if you’re local and get in quick… Good luck!
When The Doctor Was Me
May 5th, 2020 - 1:18pmStill waiting!
Not had any post at all since Friday! Beginning to wonder if there is a problem at my local sorting office.
John Panter
May 5th, 2020 - 12:57pmI 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.
The Loiterer
May 5th, 2020 - 4:08pmIf 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.
Jordan9364
May 5th, 2020 - 11:32amWhat on earth is happening with Amazon? Due to be delivered today but then not even dispatched? Better not have cancelled it
Daniel
May 5th, 2020 - 12:50pmMine arrived yesterday
Anonymous
May 5th, 2020 - 1:58pmThat did that to me and mine was cancelled
Jordan9364
May 5th, 2020 - 4:07pmAfter speaking to customer service, got this email, is it some automatic stuff or do they genuinely mean it?
“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”
oliver
May 6th, 2020 - 9:00amgot mine 2 days ago 🙂
Tony
May 5th, 2020 - 10:34amI’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!
Rob W
May 5th, 2020 - 11:48amWhat a pity they don’t have their own Doctor Who website where these sets could only be bought from. Any problems with faulty discs could easily be resolved and ALL profits go to the BBC.
John Panter
May 5th, 2020 - 1:35pmI’ve just been thinking of doing a YouTube video burning my collection out of disgust and frustration as there is no point collecting them anymore. I too am stopping as I’m so fed up with the ridiculously low print numbers and resulting futile attempts order them.
Anonymous
May 5th, 2020 - 2:09pmBit extreme burning them
Mikemars62
May 5th, 2020 - 3:00pmA ridiculous response. I know it is frustrating for those who can’t get them, but burning what you have already got? Just stupid
Jordan9364
May 5th, 2020 - 4:10pmTo be fair such a video might be what the BBC need to see to finally understand the levels of distress these things are causing people
The Ergon
May 5th, 2020 - 9:57amGood luck to those still waiting. Hope you get your copy today. Mine has just arrived. I,m going to enjoy working through those new special features which is my main reason for buying these.
CyberLewis
May 5th, 2020 - 10:08amGreat news! Where did you order from?
daz
May 5th, 2020 - 11:31amGlad it turned up The Ergon.
I buy them mainly for the features too.
And the lovely packaging and booklet.
Although I have already sold my DVDs so it is good to own the story’s physically again. And this will be the final time I will buy the classic range on physical media. Supported it since VHS.
The Ergon
May 5th, 2020 - 1:22pmZoom 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.
Neill Stringer
May 5th, 2020 - 9:55amI purchased one of the last ones at Argos and cancelled from Zavvi.
Back to Amazon for the next boxset.
What season do you think will be next?
Necros Safari
May 5th, 2020 - 9:23amI pre-ordered a copy several weeks ago from louisejameson.com. Last week I was told they didn’t get enough in stock but were trying to get more supplies; yesterday I had my order cancelled/refunded… Totally furious with the situation, I bought the other BRay sets in the shops, but obviously this time, I pre-ordered in advance, only to be disappointed….
Gordon
May 5th, 2020 - 10:48amKeep the faith. Pretty much all retailers have had their stock allocation slashed due to the cornavirus. With this in mind I feel more will be produced when the situation improves
Anonymous
May 5th, 2020 - 9:15amdose anyone else have there arrive by date on the 13th of june because I have that on amazon
Jordan9364
May 5th, 2020 - 12:00pmMine said “arriving Tuesday” yesterday, but come today and it just says undispatched! No information as to why
Anonymous
May 6th, 2020 - 7:46amMine still hasn’t been despatched from Amazon. They tell me they haven’t enough stock. Payment was taken. Am very annoyed. They say I have to wait a week now before I contact again for an update
Jordan9364
May 6th, 2020 - 10:35amSnap. Same situation. Will they actually be getting more in though is the question?
booboo
May 5th, 2020 - 8:59amI have just checked a few postcodes and there are a few stores popping up with collect on Sunday so more stock is getting out
just keep keep checking
Would you like a Jelly Baby?
May 5th, 2020 - 8:29amWhy on earth aren’t the Beeb making more of these Blu-Ray sets? Especially as they always seem to sell out quickly… It’s so frustrating as a fan and collector – I missed out on the pre-order, so now my only option is to go on eBay for one for about £130-£150? 🙁
iain dickson
May 5th, 2020 - 9:27amI saw one or 2 copies selling for as low as £115.It’s starting to look like a bargain! (I wish I was just joking).
Gordon
May 5th, 2020 - 10:44amIf 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 - 11:57amThey 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 Loiterer
May 5th, 2020 - 3:44pmThe 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.

David Haycox
May 5th, 2020 - 7:39amAmazon 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.
skonnos
May 5th, 2020 - 8:16amsure if you are happy with the packaging being totally different shape and size and willing to wait until June for it to be released.
iain dickson
May 5th, 2020 - 11:37amThe way things are going it might end up being cheaper to fly all the way to Australia and back to buy a copy than buy it on ebay !
Anonymous
May 5th, 2020 - 1:58amMines came today (the 4th) from Amazon. Ordered in January. Have they cancelled many peoples orders? Why?
Daniel Day
May 5th, 2020 - 11:05amMine got cancelled without an email to tell me, i checked tracking this morning to see amazon saying they will notify me when they have some in stock
iain dickson
May 4th, 2020 - 11:55pmGood news- it just became available on Amazon- bad news is it’s a used copy selling at £115.
iain dickson
May 5th, 2020 - 9:24amUnbelievably someone bought it! It certainly wasn’t me though.I’m going to wait till the price goes down to maybe £80 or less.
Antonio Zambonini
May 4th, 2020 - 10:30pmGuess for me Is now hope till 19 due too having too cancel my order and see if cex get them sent in or get actually any atal but hope for most they don’t list it for the last one like season 12
ChrisP
May 4th, 2020 - 8:52pmDo they press the same quantities of every season?
If so, it seems very odd to press the same number of eg season 14 as eg season 23
Duane
May 4th, 2020 - 9:54pmYes 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 .
