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.

time-set

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.

time-set-2

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…

    Just 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

    Plus… have there been any releases of region 2 covers for terror of the zygons, scream of the shalka, tenth planet and moonbase?

      Yes, 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

    The 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.

    Theirs 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.

      I 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 - 11:44am

      i 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 🙂

      July 10th, 2013 - 11:51am

      basically, 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

      No, 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 🙂

      July 10th, 2013 - 5:15pm

      Just 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.
