50th Anniversary Collection 11 CD Soundtrack Tardis Edition
SilvaScreen 50th Anniversary Tardis Box Set
Can occasionally be found by searching www.ebay.co.uk
This unprecedented collection of seminal music from the BBC TV series, Doctor Who, is being produced as a one-off limited release.
Doctor Who: The Tardis Edition is a boxed set of eleven CDs collecting Original Soundtrack music from 50 years of Doctor Who and housing them in a specially constructed Tardis.
Composer and BBC Radiophonic Workshop Archivist Mark Ayres has spent over a year researching, compiling, editing and mastering the set with the principle work being done on the first seven discs which will showcase much material being released for the first time.
The initial fruits of this work being made available last year as the four CD release – Doctor Who: The 50th Anniversary Collection.

March 23rd, 2014 - 8:26pmGreat idea but poorly executed. The TARDIS box is utterly awful. I’m not normally one who talks about pin point accuracy, but this is so very obviously out of proportion. The dimensions are clearly wrong.
Disappointing.

March 22nd, 2014 - 9:00pmDose not look as good now I’ve seen the new pics

March 21st, 2014 - 10:32pmBit disappointed with the TARDIS box. It’s too fat and too glossy. Needs perfecting
Steve
March 23rd, 2014 - 1:54pmI’ve not got the precise dimensions of the TARDIS case, but looking at the image and comparing the sizes there with a standard DVD case, I estimate it to be approx 22cm wide and 36cm tall. According to plans of the TARDIS I’ve come across, the dimensions of the real one are approx. 127cm wide and 246cm tall (excl. light)
The width is approx. 1:5.77 & the height is approx. 1:6.83 (to remain to scale it should be either 22cm wide x 42.6cm tall; or 18.5cm wide x 36cm tall) – so, yes, it’s slightly wider than it should be proportionately.

March 21st, 2014 - 7:59pmIt is not really my type of thing but it looks great.

March 21st, 2014 - 5:38pmVery disappointed with this, no new music from series 1 to 7, just rereleases. And most of classic music is also being rereleased from the 4 cd special last year 🙁

March 21st, 2014 - 2:20pmmight sound a daft question but is it one set per order or can you order more than one?
Johnny
March 23rd, 2014 - 9:14pmYou can order as many as you want.
Darren
March 24th, 2014 - 10:19amthanks

March 21st, 2014 - 12:08pmWill these cds play on US cd players?
booboo
March 21st, 2014 - 12:34pmdon’t CD play anywhere?
Johnny
March 21st, 2014 - 1:19pmThat’s correct – CDs play anywhere.
DVDs/BluRays are region encoded.
Simon
March 21st, 2014 - 4:22pmI think they do, but some import’s won’t work on CD players. I’ve got a CD from Australia that wont’ work on my CD player or laptop, but will play on my desktop and in my car! Not that this answers the original question, but it should work on something in the US!
Steve
March 23rd, 2014 - 1:59pmAs a rule, CDs will play on any CD player – the only exception that I am aware of are CD-Rs which some on-demand suppliers use, which may not always work on all players
Johnny
February 6th, 2014 - 8:23amIt has now been confirmed that there is no post-2005 music on this set that hasn’t already been released.
Effectively, you’ll be paying £135 for around 8.5 discs if you bought all the post-2005 CD releases.
question mark
February 5th, 2014 - 2:57pmis the tardis part of this set?
Johnny
February 6th, 2014 - 8:21amYes, the TARDIS box is limited edition packaging, if you would read the information posted above where it says:
“…Silva Screen will be releasing an 11 CD set, one for each Doctor, all presented in a specially created Tardis….”
Thomass
January 22nd, 2014 - 9:08amFor all those who are interested in this release, I’ve just seen via Silva Screen’s Twitter feed that Blogtor Who are running a series of artwork and notes from the release, up to disc 9 at present. Images show which episodes will have music featured.
Looks amazing, just waiting for them to announce the pre order!
booboo
January 22nd, 2014 - 9:09amMight be better if they sent it to everyone
Catherine
January 6th, 2014 - 9:56pmI’ve been waiting for this for weeks, it’s going to be my 21st birthday treat for myself and I’ve been saving up. When’s it coming out in stock? I never got the email. Please somebody tell me and send me a link, I really want one, I’ll be devastated if they don’t have it.
booboo
January 6th, 2014 - 10:48pmno one has has an email yet
Johnny
December 13th, 2013 - 3:05pmWhen the pre-order closes you will no longer be able to purchase the TARDIS Box Set and it will not be available in any other on-line retailers or shops. The current price is £135 plus postage and packing and we will deliver to anywhere in the world. There is a possibility that the price will be less than this, in which case you will be charged the lowest price when your order is completed.[/QUOTE]
Looks like I’ll be ordering the 4-disc set. Not paying £135 for the 11 disc set.
Sunny
December 21st, 2013 - 1:30pmDoes anyone have this link to pre order? Thanks
Cara
December 23rd, 2013 - 4:28pmI’m gonna try and get this
Johnny
January 6th, 2014 - 9:42am@ Sunny – The pre-order link was sent directly to those who signed up for advance notification, but it *might* be on the Silva Screen website.
Have you tried looking there?
Johnny
January 6th, 2014 - 9:46amJust looked on the Silva Screen website and the link is not active. You may have missed your chance to buy this as it will most likely sell out to those who pre-registered interest.
It is *only* available from the Silva Screen website and will be unavailable anywhere else.
Cara
January 8th, 2014 - 8:25pmI’ve seen when they released the series 7 with the covers it missed it on sliver screen but got it on eBay but I’m gonna try and get it saving up and waiting for an email haven’t seen a pre order button to order it
Johnny
December 13th, 2013 - 3:04pmJust got an email about the 11 disc box set:
There will be a seven day timed pre-order to make sure that everyone has a chance to order one of these limited items. The opening and closing dates of the pre-order and exclusive link to buy will be published on this newsletter shortly…

mikk89
November 8th, 2013 - 9:41pmWell this and 50th box set are going to be a must have for me…
Finally an official release of music from the amazing Paul McGann TV movie…
oodlesofood
November 18th, 2013 - 9:50amThere was a Soundtrack to it released not long after the Movie came out, although it is now quite hard to get hold of.

November 8th, 2013 - 9:13amI was just wondering if this product is the same as the “50th Anniversary 4-CD Set” (http://merchandise.thedoctorwhosite.co.uk/silvascreen-50th-anniversary-4-cd-set/) but with as TARDIS box set?
booboo
November 8th, 2013 - 9:52ami dont think so, i think the tardis one will have a lot more more not 100% sure until they release full details
Chellak Androz
November 9th, 2013 - 7:02amOh ok, thanks Booboo
Johnny
December 2nd, 2013 - 9:40amThe tracks on the 4CD set will be replicated in this 11 disc set.
pwilc1967
December 2nd, 2013 - 10:03amOnline details from Silva Screen state there will be previously unreleased content.
I received an email with a link to register my interest so it is “possible” this may only be released by a specific distributor and not go on general sale. Only 1000 copies.
I would recommend anyone interested sign up to the Silva screen newsletter to get updates

November 8th, 2013 - 8:09amI NEED THIS!!

November 7th, 2013 - 8:43pmThis looks great, I love what Silva Screen’s do for the Doctor Who soundtracks!
I just hope the 9th, 10th, and 11th Doctors discs will be predominantly new previously unreleased music so they can include some of the tracks they missed. Although, this maybe more difficult for the 11th Doctor as they where doing the fabulous 2 disc editions for all of his series and they very rarely missed anything out!
However, if they can manage that then this set would be another fantastic Silva Screen release!
RoryDarvillPond
November 7th, 2013 - 8:00pmcould be priced at £50 i’m guessing
dr who who
November 7th, 2013 - 5:08pmThis tardis set, does this contain all new music even for the 9th, 10th and 11th doctors that’s never been released???
booboo
November 7th, 2013 - 5:08pmwe dont know the full details yet
dr who who
November 7th, 2013 - 5:11pmOk, will probably buy this anyway. Looks awesome 🙂
Elliott
November 9th, 2013 - 8:06pmThis seems a bit farfetched to be honest. In an interview (I don’t have a link) Murray Gold stated that he wrote over an hour of music for EACH episode, despite only being 40 minutes long.

November 11th, 2013 - 6:25pmThat’s so the editors can choose which ones to use.

November 7th, 2013 - 4:43pmLooks too amazing!

November 7th, 2013 - 4:31pmMight get one of these sets, depends on the prices.
Ian
November 7th, 2013 - 4:22pmAny idea on price? Can’t find it on the BBC shop or Amazon.
booboo
November 7th, 2013 - 4:23pmnot yet, waiting for full details
KORSAIR
November 7th, 2013 - 4:03pmDo these come inside the Tardis or is it just a display prop?
booboo
November 7th, 2013 - 4:03pmthink they come in the Tardis from what they have said
KORSAIR
November 7th, 2013 - 4:06pmThen I’ll be getting it for definite.
Some bloke
November 7th, 2013 - 2:57pmWANT THIS!!
