DISCOVERY 638 – Doctor Who studio recordings
The Keeper of Traken scenes from episodes 1-4, Four to Doomsday scenes from episodes 2-4 and a BBC Schools series Today and Tomorrow episodes 3 and 4.
Earlier in 2021 Kaleidoscope planned to bid on a batch of Umatics that contained these recordings. An agreement was reached with a group led by Mark Humphries and the Starlord Consortium, so Kaleidoscope would not bid against them to keep the price low. Mark and his colleagues are delighted to allow Kaleidoscope to announce this find as a thank you for our help.
Mark says, ”There is a lot going on in the Doomsday tape with setting up the shots in the airlock and space walk to the Tardis” so the tapes are very interesting.”
Kaleidoscope had hoped to show some of the footage at the next Missing Believed Wiped but this will not now be possible. Mark and his team have been informed that hopefully the footage will be on a future Blu-ray release.
Umatics transferred to file by David Martin at Abby Video Productions
Season 17 and 20 are the closest seasons so it might appear there. Either that or hold them off and put them in the long rumoured wilderness years set along with any other footage that might turn up after their respective season that has been released
Rory
July 5th, 2021 - 2:40pmWasn’t the Kalediscope one of Davros’ creations?
Auton
July 5th, 2021 - 7:38pmThey could easily rerelease season 19 and 18 with the new footage
Gordon
July 4th, 2021 - 8:49pmNumber 1 in the blu ray and combined charts for this week
Bobby Fackrell
July 4th, 2021 - 9:58pmFantastic news bodes well for the future sets
Chris
July 4th, 2021 - 7:45pmAny news on the next blu ray collection boxset ?
D84
July 4th, 2021 - 8:05pmIf we are to see another before Christmas we should hear soon I would hope
Gordon
July 4th, 2021 - 8:48pmI’ve been hearing rumblings about season 15 but nothing concrete
Auton
July 4th, 2021 - 10:00pmIf it is 15 I’m looking forward to horror of fang rock getting a making of
Ben
July 4th, 2021 - 10:18pmCan’t wait to find out which season is next!! I just hope that Janet Fielding and Sarah Sutton aren’t doing Behind the Sofa again. I do like these two but I would love to see other companions react to the seasons instead.
The ergon
July 5th, 2021 - 1:35amI rather enjoy season 15. The only real letdowns are the poor cso on underworld and some very tacky location filming in the invasion of time.
Auton
July 5th, 2021 - 7:03amImage, horror and invisible enemy are probably my favourite stories from season 15.
Gordon
July 5th, 2021 - 8:54amHorror is great. Finishes off a trilogy of great stories with robots of death and talons. Invisible enemy is fine but I’ve never been the biggest fan. Used to think Image was boring but my opinion of it has really gone up in recent years. Sunmakers is wonderful. Closest we would get to a doctor who/Blake 7 crossover. Underworld is boring dull and clearly has no budget left to be done properly. Invasion of time would be a good 4 parter but alas it’s 6 parts
philip shaw
July 5th, 2021 - 3:02pmSeason 15 is mostly a woefully cheap and not very cheerful affair. I love Horror of Fang Rock and Image of the Fendahl, but the invisible enemy with it’s whiskerly baddies with bulging eyes, and the prawn antagonist, even the introduction of K9 is marred by the noisy workings of his tracks. Underworld is totally cringe Worthingly bad and The Invasion of time had promise but is let down all the way bad shoddy production values, I mean Dr Who has done cheap villians but shaken tin foil!
philip.shaw
July 5th, 2021 - 3:05pm…missed ‘The sunmakers’ which was great.
the ergon
July 5th, 2021 - 5:40pmThe bad production values for invasion of time is right and thats what i meant. What looks like a school corridor , an old swimming baths and somebodys workshop with black binliners stapled up in the background. All that Transdimensional engineering and it never looked as crap exploring the TARDIS. I can almost forgive the three uniformed vardans after this and their tin foil disguise.
Also Underworld might have been tolerable had they given us a decent enemy that wasn,t so inept and posed a real threat and theres only so much running and wandering around tunnels i can take. A shame because The seers and the guards had a look that creeped me out as a kid of the 70s.
Auton
July 5th, 2021 - 7:41pmInvisible enemy is actually quite fun and ambitious and with the updated special effects it is easily a great story
Anonymous
July 5th, 2021 - 8:08pmThe invasion of time was meant to be film within the studio, but there was an industrial strike going on in the bbc, so the sets couldn’t be build. They had to quickly find a cheap location or basically not film it. All the information is on the extras for the dvd.
the ergon
July 5th, 2021 - 11:11pmAnd really cheap is the end result. Still at least we got the sontaran entrance at the end of episode 4. And Its a shame the ‘Romance’ between Leela and Andred was just tacked on to enable her and K-9s departure. She really should have gone out in a blaze of glory saving the doctors life.
Prowl 1701
July 5th, 2021 - 11:58pmInvisible enemy already has optional updated effects on the DVD release.
Auton
July 6th, 2021 - 7:05amIk, I said with the updated effects enemy is easily a good story
Gordon
July 2nd, 2021 - 10:07pmMillennium effects have list the disc runtimes. Season 24 runs to a grand total of 54 hours full of material and that doesn’t include things like isolated scores, commentaries or 5.1 mixes. It’s by far the biggest box set in terms of content
http://millenniumeffect.co.uk/index.php/doctor-who-the-collection/
Coleman
July 4th, 2021 - 11:45amJust had a look Gordon, yes it’s the longest runtime by far.
Sadly though alot of the earlier seasons won’t have nowhere near as long a run times as their isn’t that much extra content out their.
Having said that though even if seasons 1 to 6 don’t have a great deal of extras on, the runtimes will still be impressive due to the number of episodes per season alone.
Mac
July 4th, 2021 - 4:42pmYou never know what they’ve found in the archives since the DVDs. BBC news coverage or something.
Prowl 1701
July 6th, 2021 - 12:01amAh, you meant that it is better because it has those new effects, now I see. I have watched comparison videos on YT between the old and new effects and the new effect look much better.
Denis
July 2nd, 2021 - 2:49amI Have a misaligned disc tray and a misaligned booklet holder, it would seem poor quality control prevails. Anyone else had the same problem?
Derek hartley
July 2nd, 2021 - 7:19pmNotice some of the disks not playing. It kept sticking disk 8 and disk 7 I think you could play the special features ok but no the story. Does any one know who to complain to ie BBC or have go back to the retailer as I got my set in HNV website.
daz
July 3rd, 2021 - 12:51amYou might need to update the Firmware on your BR player. Unless more people report back. I won’t be watching my set for a few weeks yet.
[email protected] is who you need otherwise.
Anonymous
July 1st, 2021 - 3:01pmSeason 24s just arrived this afternoon.
Bit of a strange one really, first it was coming then it was delayed now it was obviously coming again. But I hadn’t had a any notification of arrival.
Ah well.
Demdike@CultLabs
July 1st, 2021 - 11:26amCompletists will need to keep hold of their Paradise Towers dvd as this set doesn’t have the Girls, Girls, Girls doc that was featured on the dvd.
Gordon
July 1st, 2021 - 11:30amThat will be moved to another set.
Demdike@CultLabs
July 1st, 2021 - 7:27pmThe whole thing as in all three episodes as it’s missing from the season 10 Three Doctors disc as well.
Hopefully all three parts will be on the same set then. That’s good to know, thanks Gordon.
Bicky
July 2nd, 2021 - 5:50amProbably cancelled altogether- Girls girls girls- the title is probably offensive and subject matter sexist! Wouldn’t surprise me!
Daniel
July 2nd, 2021 - 11:16amThe 70s one was moved to Season 14 on the Face of Evil Disc. The 80s one would probably go on either Season 20 or 21 I reckon.
Auton
July 1st, 2021 - 9:40amChris chapman on his Twitter has posted a list of all the special features he’s made so far on the blu ray collection boxsets and at the bottom it says 4 secret ones so hopeful another announcement for either the next boxset or the heavily rumoured animations will be in the next few months. He usually does 2 or 3 special features per boxset so if two are for the next boxset then the other two will be the making of for abominable snowman and web of fear
Gordon
July 3rd, 2021 - 10:43pmHe said the evil making of isn’t 1 of his.
Auton
July 4th, 2021 - 3:36pmAnd I think web of fear is also not one of his so it’s probably just abominable and some for the future blu ray sets
Savo79
July 1st, 2021 - 4:26amAnother amazing set of the season that I first remember watching aged 7, it pretty much began here for me and the 80s vibe still puts an ear to ear grin on my now middle aged face. Only thing I’d like is an option to view with Mels screaming edited out.
The ergon
July 1st, 2021 - 8:26pmPress the mute button.
Savo79
July 1st, 2021 - 9:06pmYes but then I’ll be tapping the button mute, unmute, mute, on, off, etc etc like an old telegraph operator. I just find the pitch grating, like finger nails on a chalk board. It’s a minor negative in an otherwise enjoyable set of adventures. Just watched paradise towers and now I want a cleaner robot special from Eaglemoss, and maybe Kane with a melty face.
The ergon
July 1st, 2021 - 9:59pmShe doesnt scream that much. And you know exactly when its going to happen. I think her screaming is part and package of most classic female companions. Although bonnie does take her violet elizabeth bott literally to another level on who. I,ve grown used to it over the years. If viewers can take those birth scenes in call the midwife ‘push’. Then bonnies screams are a brief irritation at worst. For me the biggest headache and irritation is ‘the ballad of the last chance saloon in the gunfighters. Its sung as a constant and at different speeds almost throughout. I,d hope they can omit this or at least have at the beginning and end of the episodes for the blu ray release. That i find grating and spoils a perfectly good romp of a story. Although i find it amusing when steven is held at gunpoint and forced to sing it on a loop through gritted teeth.
I,m sure neil was hinting at a cleaner the other day as special. I,d love one.
Auton
July 2nd, 2021 - 7:36amThe ballad of the last chance saloon is amazing so I hope they don’t do what your suggesting ergon
the ergon
July 2nd, 2021 - 10:43amwhat i mean auton is i hope they can make it optional for those who don,t. Its not the greatest of songs and Peter Purves himself would attest to that but each to ones own.
Savo79
July 2nd, 2021 - 11:05amAs you say each to there own, I was saying it tongue firmly in cheek (also I’ve got a 12 year old daughter who screams like that and small dog with a high pitched yap. Makes me high frequency sensitive I think.) But really I like things in their original format, as the creators made it. I think adding to sfx that bring the finished product closer to what was envisioned originally or adding footage that was only removed for runtime is fine so long as its alongside the original.
Auton
July 2nd, 2021 - 11:25amNo your right ergon, I quite like the song but I know many people who don’t so it would be interesting to see an optional version without and see if the story would be better or worse. And an isolated music score of just that song as well would be even nicer
The ergon
July 2nd, 2021 - 12:21pmActually bonnie langford looked the spitting image of an old girlfriend from 1987.(minus all the screaming of course) she reminds me so much of her thats why i have a soft spot for her character. Shame she was so underwritten and we never saw much of those computer programmer skills.
Auton
July 2nd, 2021 - 3:39pmErgon are you sure you weren’t going out with bonnie Langford in 1987?
the ergon
July 2nd, 2021 - 10:01pmNo. Bonnie is a redhead, the girl i was seeing was brunette and spoke very broad yorkshire but she was practically her double and had that same smile, bubbly personality and was petite like her but no it wasn,t Bonnie.
Coleman
July 4th, 2021 - 11:19amIf she spoke very broad Yorkshire ergon, I guess she was from the Barnsley area.
I’ve noticed the accent isn’t as broad from either Doncaster or Rotherham way.
The ergon
July 4th, 2021 - 3:07pmHalfway between sheff and barnsley. Although we met in the old roxy nightclub , i think when the hitman and her were there. Happy days.
Dalekz
June 30th, 2021 - 11:16amI’m collecting the standard versions instead so I look forward to this coming out in that set in the future. Sounds great!
DOCTORwhat
June 30th, 2021 - 11:13amDoes anyone know why the discs say something along the lines of ‘Disc One, Time and the Rani, Part One’ instead of something like ‘Disc One, Battlefield’? It just seems a bit strange that they have changed it.
Philip Shaw
June 30th, 2021 - 11:25amPerhaps because a lot of the earlier releases had 1 story per disc, recently changed, but to point out that the first 2 discs were the same story put it as part one and two.
daz
July 2nd, 2021 - 11:33amProbably because there are extended versions on each story this time round. Once it is in the BR player who cares?
Mr Martin Snowden
June 30th, 2021 - 2:39amAfter being let down once, decided to try my luck with another retailer… They accepted the payment. Cant wait to delve into a season that whilst its not the greatest its still a nice addition.
Mr Martin Snowden
June 30th, 2021 - 11:30pmUpdate: Its On its Way…
Gordon
June 29th, 2021 - 11:29pmLove the behind the sofa for time and the rani. They all seem to be having a lot of fun watching it. Bonnie Langford especially is on fine form. Even Janet isn’t overly negative though she did call colin’s outfit a crime against fashion haha. Peter is rather bemused and unhappy at Sylvester winking at the camera. He’s also annoyed that his daughter Georgia recently named Sylvester as her favourite doctor but it’s all done in good fun. I really was surprised at how positive everyone was. It’s a very different contrast to the making of which was far more critical
Pete X
June 30th, 2021 - 6:10pmFor time reasons I’ve not watched much of the set yet. However, all the Behind the Sofas in this set are very good, probably the best of those filmed/released so far, and the Matthew Sweet interview with Sylvester McCoy is fantatsic – an excellent insight into his life and career.
simon hanlon
June 29th, 2021 - 7:03pmi’ve ordered mine but not arrived yet. can anyone one tell me if the cgi colin baker regeneration is edited into both time and the rani disks? or is it the same as the orginal dvd release..as an easter egg scene. thanks so much.
Gordon
June 29th, 2021 - 7:56pmIt’s just on the extended version
Markyboy!
June 29th, 2021 - 8:45pmIt’s on the normal version as well, but not if you selevt Play All. Go to Episode Selection and when you choose Part One, it gives you the choice of Original TX Version or Updated Regeneration.
bryan
June 29th, 2021 - 9:11pmIt’s edited into the Extended version. But can be seen on the standard episodes via Branching
Utterly astonishing PQ. extenders are superb, subtle bits here and there, and it’s just amazing. BTS is a joy. Colin,Peter and Sylvester, all backed up with their wonderful Companion actors.
Confuzzled
June 29th, 2021 - 9:32pmI think what Bryan means is that you can view it on the standard episodes by going to Episode Selection, then selecting Part One. This gives you the option of Original Version or Updated Regeneration. As for pretty much everything else he said… not a clue! What are PQs, extenders and BTS?!?
Slightly Less Confuzzled
June 29th, 2021 - 9:34pmOh, wait… Behind The Sofa! It’s like a Cryptic Crossword in here!
Gordon
June 29th, 2021 - 11:10pmAhh. I wondered why I couldn’t see it on the special features screen. You need to click on the episode selection and then it gives you the option
Anonymous
June 30th, 2021 - 4:31pmIt was an easter egg???
Jason Z
June 30th, 2021 - 10:53pmPQ means ‘picture quality’ maybe? Or ‘Peter Qavison’? 🙂
Pete X
July 1st, 2021 - 6:34amPQ = Patricia Quinn
Lewis Frisby
June 29th, 2021 - 8:06amMine came yesterday I have watched disc 1 love the artwork on the disc and I think time and the rani is underrated and love behind the sofa especially where colin baker reacts to the regeneration seen and I love the making of documentary and the 7th doctor audition tapes I cant wait for the next release
Gordon
June 29th, 2021 - 7:57amApparently they were filming some extras for the abominable snowman this past weekend. There is a photo on twitter surfaced of a dismantled tardis with someone who looks very much like Chris chapman at a location that looks very similar to where abominable was filmed
Ben
June 29th, 2021 - 10:24amHow exciting!! Do you think season 5 is on the cards for next year?
Auton
June 29th, 2021 - 10:34amChris chapman on his Twitter said he was filming something over the last weekend, he said it was something for a who-ray. He also said he and Toby had found someone who they thought they wouldn’t be able to find for this who-ray thing.
SilentNinjaZero
June 29th, 2021 - 10:48amIt’s possible, but it seems more likely to be for the rumoured Abominable Snowmen animation. Although I wouldn’t complain if season 5 came out in 2022, I would rather they wait a bit for Abominable and Wheel to be animated.
Prof Horner
June 29th, 2021 - 2:15pmWell I did think that ,but now I wonder if maybe they will held back to a time when there are only sixties season left.with the amount of episodes in these seasons it is hard to see how they could release three sixties seasons a year. But with seasons four and five complete with animation they won’t need so much work on them as the other four, we may get a couple a year at of the range. Well hope we get season six , which is the first season I can remember.Well if McCoy was truly the best of the bunch then the others must have of been truly awful! Clive Merrison would have been great so called dark Doctor, afar better actor than McCoy could ever be.
Anonymous
June 29th, 2021 - 8:16pmI hate to say it but do you think they could just be filming the 60s extras before certain actors sadly leave us?
Gordon
June 30th, 2021 - 10:07amIt’s possible I guess but filming a making of on location would take a lot of time and money to organise and plan which bbc studios would want to recoup the money sooner rather than later. Providing there isn’t any delays I wouldn’t be too surprised if it came out within the next year or so included in the heavily rumoured abominable snowman animation . It’s pure guesswork on my part but I don’t see season 5 coming out till after the 60th anniversary. Assuming the rumours of abominable getting animated are true it wouldn’t surprise me if wheel wasn’t too far behind that. If both come out by the end of 2022 that means 4 out of the 7 stories will have been very released in little over the past 2 years and enemy is only a couple of years older. I think they would want a break for a year or 2 before expecting people to pay for it again. Later on in the range they might not have that luxury of having a buffer between seasons getting completed and seasons coming out but at least with 1 2 and 6 it would only be 1 title that would be recent and not 4
Prof Horner
June 30th, 2021 - 10:21amWith the sad recent passing of Jackie Lane , that might well be true.
daz
July 2nd, 2021 - 11:37amProf. Each to their own but for me Sylvester is great. My Doctor as child and his darkness was perfect for Season 25 and 26. 7th and Ace is also one of the best pairings if all who.
Gordon
June 28th, 2021 - 8:58pmMine arrived today. No one was home but my neighbour took it in thankfully. Sadly the disc trays had come loose but the sticky bits was easily reattached.
Mr Carlson
July 5th, 2021 - 9:05pmyou too? Received my copy today, had the same problem, the disc trays were dislodged from the bottom of the box. I wonder if that’s a common thing. Wondering if I should ask for a replacement or not. Slowly checking the discs for defects. It’s weird, none of the discs were dislodged but the bottom glue was completely dry.
Philip Shaw
June 28th, 2021 - 8:15pmLoved the audition process for the 7th Doctor. Dermot Crowley is terribly camp, but I thought David Fielder was good, too much like Tom Baker perhaps. Sylv obviously the best.
Philip Shaw
June 28th, 2021 - 8:22pmHis Doctor is immediately there, enigmatic, gesticulating and an engaging performance.
Gordon
June 29th, 2021 - 12:31amHaving watched all 3 auditions you can see why they went with Sylvester
Philip Shaw
June 29th, 2021 - 8:35amYou can really feel his character coming through. A fully rounded performance, the other 2 acted like old Dr Who’s, an impersonation rather than offering more of their own personality into it.
Ben Farrar
June 28th, 2021 - 7:37pmReceived mine today. The plastic bit which holds the blu rays isn’t attached to the box itself and it’s left marks on the inside back cover. It’s the first problem I’ve had with these sets but I’m not happy. I’m now getting a replacement which is coming between 14 July to 3 August!! I was really looking forward to giving this set a watch too!!
daz
June 28th, 2021 - 10:54pmYou could watch it before you return it considering you have opened it.
Ben Farrar
June 28th, 2021 - 11:20pmI could’ve done, but I wanted to make sure that they still had it in stock so that I could replace it. I thought that if I leave it a few days, it would become out of stock (knowing my luck). Can’t wait to final watch it though!! The artwork also looked amazing as ever!!
Ben
July 2nd, 2021 - 3:52pmUpdate from amazon. My replacement is now due on 6th July!! Can’t wait!!
daz
July 3rd, 2021 - 10:50pmGood News Ben.
MJS
June 28th, 2021 - 5:22pmSpoiler? Maybe
I’ve watched the Time and the Rani part 1 extended, but what on earth are the weird multi coloured “blockbuster” boards whizzing around with the TARDIS??
Anyone know?
Philip Shaw
June 28th, 2021 - 8:23pmMaybe the TARDIS landed at a pride rally.
bryan
June 29th, 2021 - 1:33amThey were satelites. being knocked out of orbit. Cut from original footage. but restored for the extended episodes only.
Fantastic PQ. brilliant extended edits. and the BTS was so funny and brilliant. Great sport Colin Baker too. for being there.
The menu is mad. you click on something and there are ecen more choices.
Must be a record for the amount of stuff on one BR disc
Lege
June 28th, 2021 - 4:23pmMine has arrived disc tray wasn’t stuck down 🙁 ordered some scotch dots to repair it.

Lee D
June 28th, 2021 - 2:53pmMine has just arrived too.
Rory
June 28th, 2021 - 3:53pmMine has arrived also. I know some folk got theirs before release date, but I really can’t complain about it arriving on release date, especially as some folk have had theirs delayed a week.
Looking forward to gorging on special features.
Anonymous
June 28th, 2021 - 5:17pmWish mine had only been delayed a week. It now says arriving between 13th July to 2nd August.
booboo
June 28th, 2021 - 5:22pmcancel and order from those who have it in stock
D84
June 28th, 2021 - 5:24pmIndeed 17 to go to complete classic who, I am so so hopeful that a “Wilderness Years” set comes along – along with NuWho re pressed into this format
Haza14
June 28th, 2021 - 7:56pmThe same happened to me. Cancelling and reordering from another company is easier said than done. I’d be happy to wait if it was guaranteed I’d get it but with no communication about any delay and knowing what’s happened in the past I don’t know if they’ll ever actually get that stock in! Feel like I’ve been lead on a not so merry dance today. It’s fun trying to collect these box sets isn’t it! Don’t feel I can relax about it until I actually have it in my hand! On the bright side the box set itself looks great as always!

June 28th, 2021 - 9:07pmMine arrived this afternoon in top condition no complaints but is the tardis supposed to be upside down on the back of the box? Just looks a bit odd
People keep going on about the so called “wilderness years” set, what have the got to put in it the TV movie or am I missing something here?

June 29th, 2021 - 6:50amYes. Tardis upside down as it represents the pre-titles sequence for TATR. It was all over the shop in that scene.
Wilderness Years will feature everything from 1990 onwards to 2004. So a lot of features as well as TV Movie, 30 Years in Tardis, Charity Specials and so on.

June 30th, 2021 - 2:37am@daz really hope they include Scream of the Shalka on it… I know its not canon anymorebbut it is a wonderful What-If adventure… Or could be cannon if it was a regeneration spin off affected by the Great Intelligence in Name of the Doctor…

June 30th, 2021 - 2:48pmMartin. No doubt it will be on there.
With Lee Bindings artwork it would be great to see that 9th with the comic relief Doctors too somewhere on the inner packaging but 8th Doctor taking centre stage on actual cover.

June 28th, 2021 - 2:04pmMine arrived just in time for me to watch an episode at lunchtime.
Sounds and looks great.
Box looks great too.
Always thought of myself as season 24 hater but I really enjoyed Time & the Rani episode 1.

June 28th, 2021 - 7:57pmCould I ask why? Genuinely interested but totally understand if you’d prefer not to answer!

June 29th, 2021 - 4:41pmSometimes we have to make a choice between running this as a news site, and confine comments to the product, as it always should be, or letting a small percentage of people hurl vile abuse at a retailer because they did not get their expected allocation on time. people have had problems with other retailers but are far less vocal.
We also got “that email” but its been despatched today / delivery tomorrow and so will be a day late – so what.

June 27th, 2021 - 11:49pmIt’ll be interesting to get Colin’s take on the episodes.
No doubt he’ll have a few cheeky jabs at his successor. Purely tongue-in-cheek, of course

June 28th, 2021 - 1:55pmI don’t think Colin bears any grudges against Sylv and they get along great. Love how they mimic the Troughton Pertwee bickering at cons and conventions!
Sons of Skaro
June 29th, 2021 - 10:53pmExactly. Like I said. Tongue in cheek.
I know that Colin wouldn’t watch it back the day. Very understandable.
He quite often states that because he never filmed a regeneration scene, there were no other Doctors and HE is the still the Current Doctor. All for laughs.

June 27th, 2021 - 10:48pmWill the ‘Complete Classic Doctor Who DVD List’ on this site be updated to include this set?
