4th Doctor Time Capsule DVD Book & Figure Set
Available to order for £29.99 while stocks last from www.zavvi.com
The Fourth Doctor Time Capsule is an individually numbered deluxe box-set, containing exclusive content and memorabilia from Tom Baker’s era on Doctor Who, including a newly-commissioned interview with the man himself – An Interview with the Time Lord.
With a limited run of 5000 units, the Time Capsule also includes:
- An exclusive post-regenerative Fourth Doctor action figure, wearing Jon Pertwee’s trademark frill-fronted shirt
- A Fourth Doctor sonic screwdriver.
- An audio version of classic Tom Baker story Genesis of the Daleks.
- Novel Tomb of Valdemar by Simon Messingham, set during the Doctor’s search for the Key to Time.
- Art cards of all the Fourth Doctor’s companions.
- And a letter from Tom Baker himself
Alongside the interview package, the set contains an advance vanilla release of the restored Terror of the Zygons, set to be released in full later this year. Telling the tale of shape-shifting aliens attempting to colonize the Earth, Terror of the Zygons introduces the titular monsters, who are set to return in the 50th anniversary special.
From witnessing the genesis of the Daleks to preventing the death of the universe at Logopolis, the Fourth Doctor was an adventurer on an epic scale. Armed with a gleeful smile, swashbuckling charm and righteous morality, he defeated Sontarans, ancient vampires and the Black Guardian.
It was this incarnation of the Doctor that found and reassembled the Key to Time, that tried to reason with Davros at the birth of the Daleks, and was invested as Lord President of the High Council of Time Lords. Always selfless, his fourth body died saving the universe from the Master. But that moment had been prepared for…

July 9th, 2013 - 11:45pmThis looks AWSOME! Will the fourth doctor regeneration figure be releleased on it’s own aswell or is exclusive to this set? Also, how many DVDs do we get in this?
Radburn
July 9th, 2013 - 11:51pm1. No – Exclusive to this set
2. One – The vanilla version of ‘Terror Of The Zygons’
Some bloke

Cyberleader1010

the master
July 9th, 2013 - 10:24pmit looks nice but on the figure of the 4th dr the face looks off
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 10:53pmwe haven’t seen a proper image of it yet
celestial toymaker
July 9th, 2013 - 9:54pmwant this sooooooo badly
The TARDIS
July 9th, 2013 - 7:39pmHow long will the interview be? And also, will the book be the same size as the classic series novels?
Some bloke
July 9th, 2013 - 9:10pmdon’t know the length of the interview, and if the book is the same size as its original publication then yes it should fit in with the classic series novels. I assume you mean the bbc target reprints
The TARDIS
July 10th, 2013 - 7:18amYeah, or the bbc original past doctors range. With as nice a cover as that though, I think I could let it pass…
Trenzalore1502
July 9th, 2013 - 7:25pmWhich company are making these?
Want to get 1 for Christmas. Hope it’ll get pre ordered. I’ve come to the conclusion this site is way better that doctorwhotoys.net because there’s nothing about this or the signed 4th doctor figure on there.
Some bloke
July 9th, 2013 - 9:11pmit’s bbc worldwide. the same as all the other dvd releases
Anonymous
July 9th, 2013 - 7:22pmLooks good! but I only want it for the 4th Doctor figure and I don’t really want to pay £63 for this set so looks like for me I will have to probably try to track the figure down on eBay if I want it! Evan know I doubt there will be many anyway! 🙄
Joe
July 9th, 2013 - 7:21pmReally want this set but the price is so much It seems like I won”t be able to get this
PS: Will terror of the Zygons be released separately later on or is it exclusive to this set?
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 7:22pmno it will be released later
Pug in a kilt
July 9th, 2013 - 7:17pmi just whant the figure.
drjakeyoung
July 9th, 2013 - 7:01pmJust one grudge about this set. How come Genesis is only the audio version, why not the proper one?
Andrew
July 9th, 2013 - 6:40pmWhats the third DVD/CD?
Some bloke
July 9th, 2013 - 6:53pmthe green is the genesis of the daleks audio, the brown is terror of the zygons dvd (no special features) and the blue is an exclusive interview with tom baker
Andrew
July 9th, 2013 - 6:35pmhttp://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc177/alphabase_2007/regen4th_zps164b4f14.jpg Doesn’t look much like Tom if you ask me!? I don’t get why Genesis isnt the TV version, I can imagine this being worth a lot in the near future.
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 6:51pmpoor picture in poor lighting, also this is a fell out the back of the factory reject probably. i would wait for a proper picture
WouldYoulikeAJellyBaby
July 9th, 2013 - 6:59pmBooBoo if this is a factory reject do you think the hair will be the same on the actual figure?
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 7:16pmno idea
Doc3Pertwee
July 9th, 2013 - 11:04pmI think the figure in this particular picture looks more like JNT.
Doc3Pertwee
July 9th, 2013 - 6:16pmHi, does anyone know if the letter has actually been hand written or at least signed by Tom Baker? Any information will be appreciated greatly.
Some bloke
July 9th, 2013 - 6:29pmI would say that they wrote out for him what they wanted him to say, then he wrote it, and then they copied 5000 times. It’s a shame, but of course you can’t expect a 79 year old man to write out one letter 5000 times can you 🙁
Doc3Pertwee
July 9th, 2013 - 6:32pmThanks for the information. That makes complete sense of course. It was more a curiosity of whether he had signed each letter but again it would a lot to ask I agree.
Some bloke
July 9th, 2013 - 6:55pmoh yeah, it’s a possibility he signed them individually, but again, that may be a stretch too far. Oh well, it will just be nice to read the words with tom’s voice in our heads
Cymon Hodson
July 9th, 2013 - 6:01pmThis is already on eBay for £114.00 so if you want, it might be an idea to buy it now before it goes out of stock don’t forget the code RPJUL13 to save £6.30 at the BBC shop

Cymon Hodson
July 9th, 2013 - 10:18pmWow! I guess someone really wants this
Radburn
July 9th, 2013 - 11:49pmProbably someone from abroad as it’s only being released in the UK. BBCShop only deliver to Europe & although Amazon have it listed, it’s not as yet available for Pre-Order; if it even will be? It’s out in two weeks & I would be surprised if there are any left…
Anonymous
July 9th, 2013 - 5:11pmVery nice presentation….at least figures isn’t just a head swap job….having no cravat/bow tie. If this wasn’t a limited run, I’d wait until this was Jon a sale as it is not worth 62 pound…alas I will just have to accept that life isn’t fair and pay out for this.
drjakeyoung
July 9th, 2013 - 5:07pmJust pre ordered this! Unfortunately i had to cancel spearhead blu-ray but to be honest it’s not one of my priority releases at the moment! May get it in a couple of weeks though.
Radburn
July 15th, 2013 - 4:15pmI was hoping you were going to buy this! I want to see what’s in the case & look forward to a video of you unwrapping it…
Some bloke
July 9th, 2013 - 4:52pmamazon have it listed, but aren’t selling yet. Whether they eventually will or not, I don’t know
thehostproductions
July 9th, 2013 - 4:46pmi know that the figure wont probly be sold by its self or in any other set 🙁
but if the terror of the zygons does’nt have no special feachers is the singal £14.99 release still going to happen??
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 4:48pmyes it will be released as a DVD with all the extras
Anonymous
July 9th, 2013 - 4:48pmWell the 14.99 will still get released
thehostproductions
July 9th, 2013 - 5:17pmbrilliant!! thats made me more happier i will just need to try to get the figure thank you 🙂
Timelord63
July 9th, 2013 - 4:39pmBtw has anybody noticed that Amazon has Scream of the Shalka listed twice – one at £15.24 other at £19.99 – both region 2. Does anyone know if there are 2 versions of this coming out-a collectors edition?
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 4:41pmcant see why there would be two of this release
doctorpond393
July 9th, 2013 - 6:11pmOne isn’t blu-ray is it?
Some bloke
July 9th, 2013 - 6:55pmdoubt it
Timelord63
July 9th, 2013 - 4:37pmHmmmm just ordered it from BBC shop for £56 (after discount) but keep a watch on Amazon and see how much they sell it for
josh smith
July 9th, 2013 - 4:33pmi want that figure only.
will it be released on its own.
Some bloke
July 9th, 2013 - 4:34pmlook through the comments and you’ll find your answer somewhere down there 🙂
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 4:35pmi dont think so
matt9982
July 9th, 2013 - 4:04pmWANT IT!
handbot10
July 9th, 2013 - 4:00pmIs the terror of the zygons in this as well?
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 4:09pmthe DVD yes but with no extras
videogamemad00
July 9th, 2013 - 3:20pmIs Genesis the audiobook or soundtrack?
Some bloke
July 9th, 2013 - 3:21pmI think it’s an audio book, so the tv story, just without picture. Not sure if there is any narration. Would be nice if it were the soundtrack
Anonymous
July 9th, 2013 - 6:47pmThe soundtrack is the TV broadcasted version without the picture.
Some bloke
July 9th, 2013 - 6:56pmoh yeah, the soundtrack could have just meant the music from the story, but i get you now
Some bloke
July 9th, 2013 - 3:10pmand jacket for that matter
Some bloke
July 9th, 2013 - 3:10pmi thought they had just taken a pertwee figure and photoshopp-ed toms head on. the figure on amazon looked a bit odd to me, considering his foot wear and shirt is different…?
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 3:11pmprobably, the ebay had his legs chopped off, i’m trying to get a pictures if i can
Some bloke
July 9th, 2013 - 2:58pmI think that image may have been a sort of tester image, just to show what the final product may be like. Either that or for some reason amazon thought ‘let’s make our own image’ HA. To be honest, I’m not bothered if the figure or sonic have their own packaging or not, I just cant wait to get it 😀
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 2:59pmagreed, although it shows there must be a proper promo image of the 4th doctor around
booboo
July 9th, 2013 - 2:54pminteresting different image
the Tom letter and postcards are totally different in their picture
no idea on the packaging
Andrew
July 9th, 2013 - 2:52pmFor the price, if I get this, I don’t think I will want to touch it, open it or play the DVDs, I think its too nice, and would make a great collectable that will be worth lots in the coming years when everyone else has opened them etc.
Andrew
July 9th, 2013 - 2:55pmAlso at that price, I would expect Genesis to be on DVD rather than audio. Unless it includes the audio as well??
Some bloke
July 9th, 2013 - 2:56pmwould you at least take the cellophane off the box, just to look at it’s contents? I can’t WAIT to get mine! :)This weekend I’ll be getting Spearhead from Space on blu-ray, then 2 weeks later I’ll be getting this YAY 😀
Andrew
July 9th, 2013 - 6:37pmI would rummage through it a little take a look, but I wouldnt play the Dvds or mess with the figure too much. It holds more collectability that way.
Anonymous
July 15th, 2013 - 3:40pmwell this is a time capsule
Andrew Shaw
July 9th, 2013 - 2:47pmwhat size is the figure 5″ or 3,75″
