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 29th, 2013 - 10:27pmHe said at the end of the review he ordered his from Amazon because he thought BBC Shop was unreliable great to hear since so many of us ordered from BBC Shop which is £5.00 cheaper yet Amazon send theirs earlier. Hopefully ours will be here tomorrow.

INJUSTICE
July 29th, 2013 - 5:37pmI found a picture of the figure with 2 heads the head that looks like the wave one release and the other head which we first saw which I don’t really like but I think we might be seeing 2 heads with this figure? Might be wrong.
Some bloke
July 29th, 2013 - 5:49pmyou are wrong and if you look below, we have just had a conversation about it 😀
INJUSTICE
July 29th, 2013 - 6:54pmYeah a very long Conversation about it!! 🙂
Some bloke
July 29th, 2013 - 7:20pmHA 😀
Whovian
July 29th, 2013 - 3:42pmTo those who have received theirs, is the Sonic Screwdriver in plastic or metal?
Some bloke
July 29th, 2013 - 3:52pmi have not received it yet but its obviously plastic. It’s the toy version which they released ages ago. It would cost a HELL of a lot more if it were metal
doctorwhomad
July 29th, 2013 - 10:21amHas anyone had theirs today?
booboo
July 29th, 2013 - 10:23amyes, but i am 400 miles away from it 🙁
Love DoctorWho
July 29th, 2013 - 10:24amBooboo, do you think I should get this?
booboo
July 29th, 2013 - 10:26amwell its unique, its the only way to get the 4th doctor variant, i haven’t seen mine yet though
drjakeyoung
July 29th, 2013 - 10:28amMine was supposed to arrive today, but it didn’t! Considering i payed the maximum price for it and i got it from BBC shop, the main place to get it from i thought they might deliver it on time or even earlier! Infact, apart from the regeneration box, every DVD i have ordered from them has come late!
booboo
July 29th, 2013 - 10:29amhave you had post yet? its still early
Anonymous
July 29th, 2013 - 10:28amMine was dispatched today but probably won’t be here until tomorrow or Wednesday.
drjakeyoung
July 29th, 2013 - 10:31amLol booboo i haven’t yet, and i think i am going to sound like an idiot if it does turn up today. But usually if i do get it, it comes around 10 in the morning.
booboo
July 29th, 2013 - 10:32amthink of me, its at home and i’m 400 miles away, wont get to see it until Saturady!

The TARDIS
July 29th, 2013 - 11:47amMine should have been delivered today, postman has just been and he didn’t have it. Unless it’s coming by courier, I won’t have it until tomorrow at least. BBC Shop’s service isn’t as good as it was…
Some bloke
July 29th, 2013 - 12:00pmmy post has been, but it didn’t arrive 🙁 Is it possible that it will come by van later in the day, considering it’s size?
drjakeyoung
July 29th, 2013 - 12:02pmYea my post just came, no luck.
WouldYouLikeAJellyBaby
July 29th, 2013 - 1:10pmMy post came at 11:00 nothing either, hopefully it’ll come later today like some bloke said considering it’s size or if not I’ll have to wait until tomorrow.

July 29th, 2013 - 3:07pmnothing has come for me as of 15:07

July 29th, 2013 - 3:41pmI’m not lying or anything type in on Google Images Doctor Who Fourth Doctor Time Capsule and click on an image which shows the Regenerated Fourth Doctor in this set but with the Season 12 Fourth Doctor’s head on his body. This means you can swap round heads.
booboo
July 29th, 2013 - 3:47pmi know i have have seen it
Some bloke
July 29th, 2013 - 3:58pmBut the head in the image that has been taken off looks like the head from the figure
booboo
July 29th, 2013 - 4:06pmIn view of some recent events not really interested in promoting sites who are singled out to receive this stuff early here
when the tv advert for 3.75″ figures was sent out we had 3500 embedded hits on the 1st day, these so called big sites got a few hundred at best
enough said
Some bloke
July 29th, 2013 - 4:10pmcontinued – which was sold on ebay ages ago. You know the one that was a ‘production line drop out’ due to it’s errors/trials
WouldYouLikeAJellyBaby
July 29th, 2013 - 4:17pmSo can you swap heads or not?
Some bloke
July 29th, 2013 - 4:25pmpersonally, I would say no. If you could swap heads then they would probably included a second head, or a Pertwee head from ‘Planet of Spiders’, although that would spoil the idea of it being a ‘Fourth Doctor Time Capsule’
Some bloke
July 29th, 2013 - 4:37pmsame 🙂
Some bloke
July 29th, 2013 - 7:27pmSo, anyone who ordered from bbc shop received the box set late in the post? I didn’t 🙁

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.
Some bloke
July 11th, 2013 - 5:29pmThere’s a third trailer for this on the amazon listing

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?
booboo
July 11th, 2013 - 5:30pmthat is the point though
a book
a dvd
a figure
an audio story

July 11th, 2013 - 5:06pmI am thinking that this figure might have been included in the 2nd 11 Doctors set Obviously that’s not the case now becuase we are getting it with this set but it could of been a Possibility?
WouldYoulikeAJellyBaby
July 11th, 2013 - 5:17pmThat’s what I was thinking but with the Third Doctor’s head instead of the Fourth’s.

I will see the response but otherwise just cancel the order and reorder it
Some bloke
