Doctor Who The Collection Season 21 Limited Edition Limited Edition

Available to order from www.amazon.co.uk, www.zavvi.com and www.rarewaves.com

Doctor Who fans can continue to build their own home archive on Blu-ray with a ten-disc box set of the climactic 21stSeason, starring Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor and introducing Colin Baker as the Sixth incarnation.

  • WARRIORS OF THE DEEP
  • THE AWAKENING
  • FRONTIOS
  • RESURRECTION OF THE DALEKS
  • PLANET OF FIRE
  • THE CAVES OF ANDROZANI
  • THE TWIN DILEMMA

In his final season, the action ramps up for Peter Davison’s Doctor as he faces terrors from his past, invaders from the future, arch enemies and a battle to the death. With companions Tegan (Janet Fielding), Turlough (Mark Strickson), Peri (Nicola Bryant) and robot Kamelion (Gerald Flood) the Doctor journeys from an underwater seabase to contemporary England, from a devastated Earth colony to the beaches of Lanzarote, from a volcanic alien world to the deadly caves on Androzani.

Along the way, the TARDIS crew confront Daleks, Sea Devils, Silurians, Tractators, slug-like Gastropods, the evil Malus and the vengeful Master!

All episodes have been newly remastered from the best available sources – these classic adventures have never looked or sounded so good on home media.

    Off topic but will the 2025 Sea Devils get a DVD release?

    Well this is a little early surprise I wasn’t expecting announced today!
    10 discs – TEN! wow!
    So many new versions of old stories, the originals, old features plus so many new ones! This set I am very excited for – one whole decade of who on the collection shelf now! I wonder if there any last minute additions like extended awakening announced just before release. They really went all out on this one, largest set so far! Guess it is good to prepare for those 60s seasons a few of which will definitely get into the double figures.

    I have just watched this season with my partner and I said as soon as we finish I bet they’ll announce this as coming out, finished twin dilemma the other day and would you look at that!?

    Mark one more Blu-Ray Season I needed off my list. I needed the Resurrection Of The Daleks season. I think this just leaves the Death To The Daleks season and the Key To Time that I need for The Pirate Planet. And whatever they decide to do in the future for the other 1st and 2nd Doctor seasons besides Hartnell Season 2 because of the sheer amount of missing episodes.

    Pretty impressive, though i would have liked the effects for planet of fire to have been included or previous effects added to the four parter rather than the previous special edition.
    So much to look forward to on this. Without a doubt my favourite 5th doctor series.

    They seem to have gone all out on this one, updated effects on every story except Planet of Fire and The Caves of Androzani, perhaps updated effects on the entirety of Season 16 isn’t completely out of the question.

    Could just be the YouTube upload or maybe I’m being paranoid after Season 13 but the trailer footage looked weirdly smooth. Season 21 is when they started using lower quality videotape so less detail is to be expected but Seasons 22-26 don’t look like this.

    I don’t think this will be a pre-order for me, I’ll wait for reviews first.

      I meant to say The Twin Dilemma in the first paragraph, not The Caves of Androzani. I guess you could argue that Planet of Fire already has updated effects as part of the DVD special edition although I don’t recall them being particularly favoured.

      They do have 16 mm film sequences for awakening, planet of fire caves of androzani and twin dilemma. Fronitos doesn’t have any film sequences and from memory warriors only has a couple of 16 mm shots which weren’t kept. Seeing as I found it most noticeable on the film sequences they don’t already have resurrection is the one to keep an eye on

    I really hope we’re going to get a CGI magma beast! It is the only weak point in Caves of Androzani for me.
    Can’t wait for this set!!

    Really excited for this Boxset. However not to bring down the party. I really hope they learned their lesson with season 13’s A.I generated upscale and Hopefully season 21 doesn’t follow the same fate. So far from the trailer it looks really good.

    Amazing mini episode/trailer. I really like the 5th Doctor’s new sonic screwdriver. I’m a bit surprised that Planet of Fire doesn’t have updated effects on the broadcast version. Enlightenment did on the Season 20 Collection

      Rarewaves also confirmed the date by the looks off it especially now we are getting a 10 discs one for first time

    Brilliant! Easily my favourite Davison season—The Awakening and The Caves of Androzani are classics, and Frontios and Planet of Fire are pretty meaty too. Look forward to the updated special effects—although I’m getting less and less patient when it comes to waiting two years for the cheaper version…
