October 14th, 2024 - 11:53pmwhen will we hear something about the next set
Tom Williams
June 22nd, 2024 - 8:54pmJust out on interest anyone know the missing Christmas specials for series 11 onwards for the steelbooks as I want too complete the collection especially I know twice upon a time one is mainly
MIKK89
June 22nd, 2024 - 11:26pm@Tom Williams… If This Helps, As there were no Christmas Specials from Series 11-13 (The Specials were moved to New Years for the Chibnall/Whitaker Era) But “Resolution” (2019) was included on the Series 12 Steelbook (alongside the standard DVD and Blu-Ray Release) and Eve of the Daleks from 2022 (in the The 2022 Specials Steelbook released which included ‘Legend of the Sea Devils’ and ‘The Power of the Doctor’ also)
The Only One Not Included in any Steelbooks was ‘Revolution of the Daleks’ from 2021 as it wasn’t include in the Flux Season Boxset…
Bob
June 23rd, 2024 - 12:13amSo far, just Revolution of the Daleks.
There is actually enough room in the Series 12 steelbook if you want to have uninterrupted steelbook consistency. Potentially The Church on Ruby Road as well but we’ll have to wait until more information about the Season “One” boxset surfaces.
Tom Williams
June 23rd, 2024 - 6:51pmThank you both for the best advice i brought season 12 recent from cex but it says on it at the bottom plus resolution special which I didn’t understand if it was that one and the revolution off the daleks one aswell but I know atleast now the only blu ray I’m missing 🙂

June 22nd, 2024 - 7:09pmHi. If anyone has bought this can you confirm if the errors in Revelation of the Daleks have been corrected.
“Revelation – Part 2’ certainly needs fixing. Not only was there a problem with the opening shots, but one of the CGI effects from the end was missing on the blu ray”
Gordon
June 23rd, 2024 - 2:21amNo. None of that was fixed.
Rob
June 23rd, 2024 - 4:30pmThat’s really bad. They could have least fixed that error for this set.
RPG74
July 1st, 2024 - 11:43amSo our assumption that major Limited problems would be corrected for Standard releases appears to be incorrect. Disappointing, and something we should be mindful of in future.
Rob
July 1st, 2024 - 6:27pmPerhaps if they issue new discs for the standard range they would have to oblige limited purchases with a disc replacement too
RPG74
July 1st, 2024 - 8:31pmIf that’s true, does that mean they won’t bother dealing with the judder problem on Season 20?
I’ve never had 20 on disc before and was waiting for the blu-ray set, but if they can’t be bothered to fix that then I’ll just have to purchase the dvds instead.
Anon
July 1st, 2024 - 9:16pmI’ve got the DVDs from 20 and in fact all of classic who and there are very few issues with them across the full 26 years. The blurays across the range seem to littered with errors though
Rex F
July 2nd, 2024 - 3:08pmThe DVDs had a bigger team and more time. Could be a coincidence, but…
Gordon
May 17th, 2024 - 10:29am17th June according to Amazon/hmv
Paddyyo
May 17th, 2024 - 2:16pmMy email said 22nd June but they have overestimated by a week before so I’ll be happy either way
SV7
May 20th, 2024 - 10:58amAlmost two years to the day that the limited edition was released!
Duncan
June 3rd, 2024 - 10:48amI hope we get an announcement for the next box soon. Really enjoyed the Season 15 boxset so am ready now for whatever is coming. Six seems to be a popular choice and Id be v happy for that. Season 25 is also being mentioned a lot. Thats one Ill wait for the standard release, so I might be waiting some time for my next purchase
MIKK89
June 3rd, 2024 - 12:10pmWhilst People Keep Mentioning Season 6 as a Possible 2nd Doctor Boxset Debut, but people overlook that as well as that season, Season 5 is pretty much complete bar one adventure – The Wheel in Space, which does have a Telesnap Reconstruction on BBC iPlayer at the moment (I have a theory that they maybe taking a little more time with the 2nd Doctor Era to cone to this set as a Majority of the Animated Recon Releases, bar 2, have been Troughton Adventures)
Jim
April 15th, 2024 - 5:25pmRegarding the restoration sources for this Season and Season 23;
Is there any particular reason why Colin Baker’s Opening and Closing titles look like they’re from SD tapes (like Sylvester McCoy’s) rather than being near crystal clear like the film trim version used for Peter Davison’s and Tom Baker’s starfield intros?
As far as I know, the BBC had a third party company make the McCoy cgi intro, hence there is only one SD resolution source for it – but for Colin Baker’s intro, surely if it was made in the same circumstances as the other early 80’s intros, then it must exist on film somewhere? Or is that being kept back for Season 21?
I also notice that Season 2’s boxset also uses what I guess are the original transmission intros (instead of the original film trim as presented as an extra on The Power of the Daleks Blu Ray) however that said, Season 2’s broadcast intros are still as good as crystal clear looking to me.
If anyone has an answer I’d be absolutely fascinated to know, I love reading up on these restoration processes when I can.
GA
April 22nd, 2024 - 8:58amyou would be best posting that on roobarbs or gallybase
still no date for season 22 standard yet?
Rex F
April 22nd, 2024 - 6:33pmThe Colin Baker titles were never properly archived, so they used a clean SD tape transfer found on the surviving Revelation studio footage tape. A copy of part of the opening (basically the middle) was later found in a private collection, and transferred and dropped in. Most of this is covered in the Colin Baker DVD articles on the old Restoration Team website, and as the full film has never turned up it still applies.
I’ve not looked at all of Season 2, but from what I’ve seen I thought they were using the new film transfer – just blasted with OTT noise reduction to make a smeary, posterised disappointment.
Tom Williams
April 26th, 2024 - 1:12amApparently too what I seen there is confirmation it’s coming out in June as on another website in the Amazon USA it shows December release
Tom Williams
April 26th, 2024 - 1:16amMy mistake ment Zavvi.com
Andy Dodds
March 20th, 2024 - 3:11pmThe only thing with Amazon Pre-Orders is that lately they have not been arriving on day of release, which I have experienced I pre-ordered Season 15 Limited Edition months before the due date it came out on Monday it’s not arriving until Saturday. It happened just recently with The Daleks In Colour again not arrived on the day of release.
James
March 20th, 2024 - 4:41pmHeard about someone complaining to amazon about the continued delayed delivery’s of doctor who items they got a refund and credit olusbthe order arriving. Its a shame home media has gone online only to preorder/purchase.
Only hmv left on thr high street. Remember the days of when there were loads of stores ypu could walk in and buy or place a preorder. It all went down hill when Woolworths went as they owned the main supplier of home media.
Tom Williams
April 22nd, 2024 - 9:11pmI remeber Argos was same used too have them but stopped it completely as going back since season 26 came out they had them in stock in the stores
Rob
February 27th, 2024 - 12:02pmI see the RRP on amazon is £34.99, compared to season 17 standard which was £32.99.
Anon
February 28th, 2024 - 9:29amPrices are going up all over. Why should these be any different?
Rob
June 22nd, 2024 - 4:56pmGive it time and it will be under £30 like Season 24 standard, which is now £24.99
Gio
February 26th, 2024 - 7:57pmWhat disc errors were there?
Rex F
February 27th, 2024 - 12:59amFrom memory: Revelation pt 2 reprise editing, scaling/DNR/interlacing/branching errors on video effects in Timelash/Revelation, text note errors that contradict what’s on screen in Attack.
Rikki Krystal
February 23rd, 2024 - 7:35amDoes anybody know, why we don’t get Frazer Hines, on behind the sofa’s.
Gordon
February 23rd, 2024 - 8:53amI’m sure that’s down to availability on filming dates. He’s a really busy man with appearances and he seems to travel about a lot.
Auton
February 23rd, 2024 - 12:46pmWe got him on Season 23 Behind the Sofa and hopefully they can get him for the Season 4 – 6
Prowl1701
February 23rd, 2024 - 2:46pmI believe he has said that he has filmed behind the sofa for the mind robber.
Sofia Fox
February 24th, 2024 - 1:08amDidn’t he record for the Mind Robber Behind the Sofa at least?
Prowl1701
February 24th, 2024 - 2:53amI believe he mentioned at a con that he had recorded for the mind robber.
Auton
February 24th, 2024 - 6:51pmWhich means he’s done all of Season 6 Behind the Sofa set. Hopeful Season 6 will be the next season because all our shelves are lacking a troughton set. Followed by Season 25
D84
February 27th, 2024 - 10:03pmRumours point to S25 coming along next in Limited Edition format
JRT!
February 28th, 2024 - 8:50amOh how I hope it’s s25!!
RPG74
February 22nd, 2024 - 10:43pmGood, I’ve been waiting patiently for this. Great price too. Love the standards!
Duncan
February 27th, 2024 - 1:55pmYes. I prefer to wait for those. I bought a few of the limited edition versions but with every one the plastic trays fell out after a time. Much prefer the standard packaging.
The booklets are nicer in the ltd versions but as Ive never read any of them I can live with the standard versions.
RPG74
February 28th, 2024 - 11:28amAgreed. Less expensive, saves space and is generally less hassle in the long run.
Rex F
February 22nd, 2024 - 3:01pmA question for the people who scour the internet: any news on whether any of the errors/glitches will be fixed? (My feeling is probably not – I’m guessing Meglos was quietly fixed on S18 purely because it was a contractual credit.)
Gordon
February 22nd, 2024 - 5:17pmFrom what I heard there isn’t the budget and time to fix it. However the error at the start of revelation part 2 was fixed for the American release so it might be fixed for this. Guess we will have to wait
Ian Cotterill
February 22nd, 2024 - 8:20pm‘Revelation – Part 2’ certainly needs fixing. Not only was there a problem with the opening shots, but one of the CGI effects from the end was missing on the blu ray.
DPHill
February 22nd, 2024 - 10:23pmInteresting because the file was on the disc when I digitised it to my hard drive, it would okay now I have checked and it isn’t there on the disc, but is on the ripped version?? Encoding issue? I don’t know
daz
February 26th, 2024 - 6:15pmIf anyone does buy the standard set please let us know if errors have been fixed. I might buy it to swap the discs around.
SV7
February 22nd, 2024 - 2:58pmWow, that was quick! 😀
D84
February 22nd, 2024 - 3:47pmI thought that too – this has gone round quick
Then again, the Limited print of this was announced early 2022 – so the 2yr gap still stands
Anon
February 22nd, 2024 - 3:58pmThat was verycquick. I wasnt expecting this to drop until at least june. Its usually th2 2 year mark. Whats going on?
Not that i,m complaining. I collect the standard editions. Season 2 next.
Anon
February 22nd, 2024 - 4:02pmSaying that, there is no release date, so Amazon getting in the preorders early.
