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 15th, 2013 - 1:04pmJust found out that the fourth doctor time capsule is going to be £89.99 when it hits the high street. When I asked about this box set at my local sci fi shop I was told £65 and for sone strange reason the bbc have put the price. I wish the bbc would make up thier minds with regard to the price of it

July 13th, 2013 - 6:54pmOk. Does anyone know anything about the rumours of the recent recovery of 90 missing doctor who episodes? Any links or news would help!!!!
Plus… have there been any releases of region 2 covers for terror of the zygons, scream of the shalka, tenth planet and moonbase?
Some bloke
July 14th, 2013 - 10:10pmYes, the 90 missing rumours thing has been going around (recently) since the beginning of june, and no, there have not bee any further developments on it. Everyone has just let the dust settle, as it were.
And no, we haven’t had any official region 2 covers for zygons or scream of the shalka, although there artowrk for the region 1 covers which is the same, has been released. No artwork for moonbase or tenth planet have been released yet

cool guy doctor
July 11th, 2013 - 7:32pmyeah your right booboo they should have an audio
Anonymous
July 11th, 2013 - 7:21pmThe BBC have now reduced the price to £55.99 so if you use the promo discount code list below then you get this for just over £50….now that’s more like it.
If you have already ordered it from the BBC shop at the full price or without the promo code, you can always cancel and rebook all on line.
booboo
July 11th, 2013 - 7:21pmi think they are going to automatically refund people
The Greater Intelligence
July 11th, 2013 - 7:26pmOn most sites if you pre-order something and the price changes to a lower one before it comes off the pre-order, the charge on your credit card automatically changes to accommodate.
cool guy doctor
July 11th, 2013 - 5:24pmThis looks cool but i do not understand why they have an audio version of genesis of the daleks there is no point
Some bloke
July 11th, 2013 - 5:26pmdoes anyone else think that it might be the genesis of the daleks which was originally released on LP but recently on CD?

Some bloke

July 12th, 2013 - 1:07pmAfter reading this I was straight onto the BBCShop asking for a £7 Refund which they gave – I suggest anyone who purchased it at full price to contact them & secure their refund pronto…

July 11th, 2013 - 11:10amBooBoo do you reccomend this set? As I might pre-order it later and am wondering whether I should wait until we have proper pictures of the figure in hand because I’m unsure of the likeness?
seanwray1
July 11th, 2013 - 10:49amBooboo the price has gone down on them BBC shop so will it do any harm to re order it?
David Edinburgh
July 11th, 2013 - 10:32amI don’t know is someone already asked but is this a 5” figure? Cheers
booboo
July 11th, 2013 - 10:42amyes it is

StarkBoy
July 11th, 2013 - 9:29amDo you think I’ll still be able to pre-order it in a week , I really don’t want this to sell out too soon
Nicholas
July 10th, 2013 - 9:37pmI’ve asked for this for my Birthday as I just spent £60 on GTA V. Really like this set
Timelord3
July 10th, 2013 - 7:38pmI will definitely get this if its still available at Christmas. Iv never had a piece of merchandise that’s a limited run. Here’s hoping there still around at Christmas, even if it is 4999/5000 or 5000/5000

July 10th, 2013 - 4:20pmwhen I first saw that picture at the top I thought that was Harry but it wasn’t it was the 4th doctor in Pertwees costume
Some bloke
July 10th, 2013 - 4:21pmthat’s what I thought. It would have been nice if it were harry, but it’s just as good having tom in pertwees clothes 🙂
Anonymous
July 10th, 2013 - 1:59pmTheirs one problem I have with this figure the hair. If anyone has or has watched “Robot” when he is lying on the floor when he’s just regenerated I know his fringe was big but still when you see him in his pyjamas his hair is like the hair on the 2008 Classic Series Wave 1 Varient. I see what Charater were trying to do but we can’t lie this figure down on our shelves.
Anonymous
July 10th, 2013 - 2:02pmBTW I know BooBoo said this was a factory reject but I just hope the actual figure will be better when we see a proper image before I’m prepared to spend 62.99.
CountYorga
July 10th, 2013 - 1:19pmI like the look of this but £63 is robbery am afraid.

Some bloke
July 10th, 2013 - 10:16amI don’t think they’ll be doing one for any other doctors and if they do then they will most certainly not be doing a letter from the first 3 doctors for obvious reasons
Doctor 909
July 10th, 2013 - 11:15amI would love those sets like I said below, love to see other doctors time capsules because why would they pick just the 4th doctor because fans have there favourites (mine being:10th, 7th, 1st and 11th) and because it is a great product ranges.
Some bloke
July 10th, 2013 - 11:44ami think it may only be the 4th because he IS the doctor. I know everyone has their favourites (mine being the 4th) but it’s because he is the definitive doctor. He reigns supreme over all others 🙂
The Supreme Dalek
July 10th, 2013 - 11:46amAll Doctors are equal. But to me, Pertwee is the legend of Classic Who and Tennant of New Who.
Some bloke
July 10th, 2013 - 11:51ambasically, it’s highly likely that they won’t be doing any other doctor time capsules. If they were going to, they would have started at the 1st doctor. They wouldn’t have trailed it as ‘#thefourth’ if they were going to do all doctors, then they probably would have called it something like ‘#timecapsule’ or ‘#timecapsulethe1st’ and so on

Alex
July 10th, 2013 - 11:18amregardless even when released it will be the third doctor ourfit, with a 4th head stuck on, there too lasy to do anything else
auton101
July 10th, 2013 - 11:37amWell since this is baker from the first 5 mins of “robot” he will have pertwees sonic as he literally just regenerated.
drjakeyoung
July 10th, 2013 - 12:43pmNo, in Frontier in space, he changed the sonic to look like the fourth doctor’s sonic. So that picture where he is holding the 3rd doctors screwdriver, is wrong. But as booboo said, it’s only a draft 🙂
booboo
July 10th, 2013 - 12:53pmlooks like its this image photoshopped http://merchandise.thedoctorwhosite.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/tots-3rddoctordalek.jpg
Some bloke
July 10th, 2013 - 12:55pmAHH, i was trying to look for the image they used yesterday, but couldn’t remember which episode jon wore that costume in. Seems obvious now HA 🙂
drjakeyoung
July 10th, 2013 - 1:06pmYes i can see how that would work. Just Photoshop away the bow tie, add Tom’s head and there we have it!
Roosta
July 10th, 2013 - 5:15pmJust to add, the Amazon photo and the BBC one are different figures (check the legs – boots in the Photoshop mock-up, shoes in the BBC one) so the BBC one will be closer to, if not actually, the final figure.
Some bloke
July 10th, 2013 - 5:37pmwe know, that’s what we’ve just discussed 🙂

July 10th, 2013 - 7:27amIm gonna order it when its released !
