August 6th, 2026 - 11:46pmI.hope we get these here in the UK in the next few months they look great and matches the Season 1-4 box set that was released a few years ago.

August 8th, 2026 - 2:05amI Completely agree.
The Matt Smith boxset in particular includes ‘An Adventure in Space and Time’, so a UK release of the Smith boxset would offer it in proper 1080i 50fields per second as was broadcast.
Currently you can only find that specific copy of AAISAT on the now long out of print uk 50th Anniversary steelbook that costs an absolute bomb on eBay today. In the BBC’s infinite wisdom they decided not to release AAISAT on Blu-ray in 2014, but gladly let America have it of course, but in the wrong speed and altered audio pitch to 24fps progressive. Instead here in the UK we got a 576p downscaled dvd and that was it.
Tbh, hope I don’t jinx anything here but I’m surprised AAISAT is even included on this range – didn’t BBC iPlayer try to upload it in 2023 before some lowlife idiot threw his toys out the pram, causing chunks of it to get censored before being taken down altogether from the server?
Unless, dare I say it, this *is* the censored cut-down edit on the Smith boxset. If it is then this range can get stuffed. But if it’s the completely uncut original broadcast edit and we get a uk release I’m definitely pre-ordering it just for that special alone.

August 5th, 2026 - 9:07pmI wonder if Complete Davison, C.Baker, McCoy sets will be released alongside these when the uk eventually markets this range, and then Complete Pertwee + T.Baker sets once seasons 11 + 16 Collection transfers are done.

August 5th, 2026 - 10:53pmI think they might leave complete doctor sets till the end of the collection range. Plus they might strip them of extras to keep the disc count and costs down.
Andy
August 5th, 2026 - 5:08pmApart from The Circuit Breaker Black Archives due this month everything seems silent at the moment nothing mentioned of any new releases in U.K., and I would have thought that they might have been a announcement for the next collection set. Unless they have these U.S.A. releases planned for U.K. In the coming months. But nothing else seems to have been announced maybe after the Black Archives is released we will have to wait and see whats next.
Fred
August 5th, 2026 - 6:06pmYeah, I was hoping for the standard edition release of season 25 by now. I’m sure it’s coming but they’re probably saving it for Christmas now…
Babelbro
August 5th, 2026 - 6:37pmOr fast track Seasons 13 + 21 standards with Ai removed
Andy
August 5th, 2026 - 10:27pmNo Season 25 hasn’t had a Standard Release yet October 2024 was when the Limited Edition was Released as Fred has mentioned I presume the Season 25 Standard Edition will probably be next after The Black Archives. I mean it’s early days yet they might have something up their sleeves. And it’s been over a year since we had any Animations of missing stories.
Gordon
August 6th, 2026 - 12:04amit was always going to be over a year before the next one turned up. A new deal had to be finalised (which could take months) then it would take roughly another year beyond that to do the next one. I’ve heard enough to know for certain there are more animations on the way. Toby Hadoke has said he’s given animators heights to work with and David Busch has said there are many releases in the pipeline including one that he’s involved in. David’s contributions to bbc in the animation front (shada and macra terror as well as the dads army animations) which kind of makes me feel it’s obviously for an animation

August 6th, 2026 - 12:51amAndy: There’s a poster who’s beyond pedantic who insists on calling the limited versions the standard versions, so that’s probably who’s responded to you. Waging a one man campaign to have the labelling changed obviously makes him happy, so I suggest letting him get on with it.

August 6th, 2026 - 9:27amStandard Edition should be around October, so expect to hear soon about this. I think there will be a December release of either The Smugglers (or another animation), or possibly a collection set. I doubt AI will be removed from S13 and S21, or even taken off S16. If the BBC admit it’s an error, then they would have to issue replacement discs, which I cannot see them doing. I doubt they would rework the assets for the SE S13 and S21 either. I hope to be proved wrong.

August 6th, 2026 - 2:17pm@RobW The BBC were able to release stories like Resurrection of the Daleks and The Caves of Androzani twice via the Revisitations marketing, amongst plenty of other dvds that were re-released as special editions. Not just that but the re-releases involved spending on fresh rescans and digital work on all the episodes.
Also the Blu-ray standards have often corrected previous errors on the Limited sets that just didn’t get addressed via replacement discs for whatever reasons.
With Seasons 13 + 21, they can potentially just release the standards while avoiding the Ai filtered renders, involving none of the costly work of the dvd special editions, and would simply follow the same practices of previous standard blu-rays.
The one reason this could be impossible is if the Restoration Team or the BBC have deleted the non-Ai digitized masters from their own archives, which I would doubt given Paul Vanezis is currently scanning HD surviving material of The Daleks’ Master Plan for a future Season 3 boxset. There’s too much money and time involved for someone to turn around and say “yup Ai it then bin the raw scans”.

August 5th, 2026 - 2:56pmIf they don’t do a collection set for modern who with each series they should definitely do Doctor sets like these. As you say they’ve done the single series remastered. These would look great in Collection style. Never got why they did the Tennant book style release for uk but smiths/capaldi and Whittaker only got us release.
Fred
August 5th, 2026 - 6:05pmMe neither but I got the Whittaker one anyway (I’m in the U.K.) and it plays fine on a Playstation 5.
daz
August 5th, 2026 - 2:29pmDo you think we’ll ever see these 3 sets in the UK? Seems like a no brainer for the range here after the remastered Series 1 to 4/Specials.
DeliveryRus
August 5th, 2026 - 3:10pmDepends as USA gets lots of sets likr these that never get a uk release for years.
Jenny Flint
August 5th, 2026 - 5:11pmThat set had the benefit of actually fixing the vast majority of the errors with the previous BD releases. There is nothing to indicate that any of the errors from the previous releases from this era have been fixed for these ones.
