DOCTOR WHO: THE COLLECTION – SEASON 25 available on Blu-ray

Doctor Who fans can continue to build their own home archive on Blu-ray with an eight-disc box set, starring Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor.

The stories included are Remembrance of the Daleks, The Happiness Patrol, Silver Nemesis and The Greatest Show in the Galaxy. The stories also feature Sophie Aldred who plays iconic 80s companion, Ace, who joins the Doctor to battle Daleks, Cybermen, the murderous Happiness Patrol and the evil forces of the Psychic Circus.

PLUS, fans can experience this season like never before, with brand new extended special editions of all four adventures, exclusive to this Blu-ray set.

The four Special Editions feature unseen footage, updated special effects, immersive surround sound, and surprises. All episodes have been newly remastered from available sources meaning these classic adventures have never looked or sounded so good on home media.

    At the Android Invasion Day Convention, they were recording more interviews and stuff for the Nicholas Courtney tribute just as they had been doing at Aldbourne

      Yep. Heard this also. It could hypothetically go on either 5,6,7,11 or 13 but I think 7 is the obvious place to have it as it’s the one he’s in the most.

      Can’t see any reason why it shouldn’t. It was on the dvd

    Also posting here because it’s more obvious, I saw McGann at a Yorkshire Comic con in Harrogate and he was lovely! An exciting day meeting Colin and Nicola as well as Brian blessed!!

    I did ask him whether or not he thinks he should be on a collection set as I said he ought to be with all the wilderness stuff! He was happy and said I absolutely should be! Doesn’t say much but a little later after signing my dvd, I said I’m guessing you’ve been a busy man seen as you’re not on the other collection features and he said well I am busy so I’d rather focus that time and energy on when they do mine, the ones that the fans have named…

    I don’t know if I’m reading much into that, but fans did name the wilderness years, and he said when they do mine, i wonder if this hints ever more favourably to a wilderness years set with McGann on the front?

      You think Remembrance of the Daleks is a terrible story?

      Hey look at this guy who thinks negative opinions make him a interesting person

    Not bought one of these in a little while due to the price but I had to have this. Rememberance of the Daleks at 6am on my older sisters grey cased dvd when I was 8 years old in 2010. Unbeatable.

      The youth of today lol I remember watching this on first broadcast… at the tender age of 18! Lord I’m old…

      I remember wondering why the Doctor wasn’t the guy in the multicoloured coat. Yep, season 24 had completely passed me by and so I was oblivious to the idea of regeneration – I thought the Doctor changed in the same way as James Bond.
