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.

October 26th, 2024 - 7:05pmAmazon used to deliver ahead of everyone, now it’s fallen behind the rest.

October 26th, 2024 - 8:30pmMine arrived today ordered with Amazon came by Royal Mail
The Monitor
October 26th, 2024 - 3:16pmOrdered July. Dispatched and was due 9pm Thursday. After 9 it moved to expected 26th.
This keeps happening with Amazon. Customer service are no help.
Yet again I will have to cancel and reorder it.
Anyone else get this? It’s probably on 50% of preorders.
The Monitor
October 26th, 2024 - 3:19pmSometimes I wait a week and debate with customer service it cannot possibly take 8-10 days from despatch. But you run the tidk of it selling out. I will wait until Monday I guess
GallifreyStands
October 26th, 2024 - 4:12pmAMAZON changed how pre-orders work. If you pre-order you get them 2 to 7 days after everyone else does.
Read the small print.

October 26th, 2024 - 4:15pmFew times I cancelled the preorders and I reorder once the disc is ‘in stock’. Then they send immediatly. Somehow they just give long estimated delivery date and send last moment to fit the date.

October 26th, 2024 - 5:25pmThat’s exactly what has happened to me with the last 2 Collection box sets. And Customer Service has been less than helpful on both occasions. I had to do as you say you will on Monday: cancelled my order and then the new order was delivered the next day. I know it’s a first world problem but it is very frustrating that it seems baked into their delivery system.

Tom Williams

Tom Williams
