January 4th, 2014 - 12:49amI’m sorry, but weren’t a few people complaining that one of the extra Xmas specials wasn’t on the S7 boxset the other day- and now we have it on another DVD!
I am however annoyed that they haven’t included all of the special features that have been on TV recently.
harold saxon
January 2nd, 2014 - 9:57pmit’s better if they release it on it’s own like thry did with the snowman in america last year.
DWfan
January 3rd, 2014 - 10:05amBritain didn’t get the Snowmen on it’s own.
Slytherinx
December 30th, 2013 - 7:37pmThis release I was not expecting. It seems a bit pointless, I really don’t need to own the previous Christmas specials again. What would be good would be a blu ray box set containing:
The Name of the Doctor (possibly… although I have it on the Seventh Series box set, it does form a loose trilogy with Day and Time so wouldn’t complain too loudly if it was here also…)
The Day of the Doctor (3D and 2D versions)
The Time of the Doctor
An Adventure in Space and Time (which is currently without a blu ray release I believe)
+ Night/Last Day etc..
the astronaut of death
December 29th, 2013 - 10:27pmthinking about it nightmare in silver was matts final normal episode
the astronaut of death
December 29th, 2013 - 10:33pmbecause the name of the doctor was part of a trilogy and kind of part of the 50th
the day of the doctor was a big special 50th move style story
the time of the doctor was a xmas special
DWfan
December 29th, 2013 - 10:36pmNope. It’s deffently not a kind of 50th episode.
the astronaut of death
December 29th, 2013 - 10:45pmit was a big finale for doctor who one of the biggest it kind of kicked start the 50th and set it up
videogamemad00
December 30th, 2013 - 5:17pmBut it was still technically a regular episode.
DWfan
February 1st, 2014 - 6:33pmMatt Smith’s last regular episode was The Time of the Doctor as it’s his last episode to be featured as the regular doctor.
Trenzalore
February 1st, 2014 - 6:35pmThat was a Christmas special, they are talking about normal episodes as in part of a series.
DWfan
February 1st, 2014 - 6:37pmNo it’s still his last regular episode as the Doctor.
Anonymous
February 1st, 2014 - 6:43pmNo a Christmas special is not a REGULAR episode it is a CHRISTMAS episode
DWfan
December 26th, 2013 - 4:19pmDoes anyone know where to start a petition to get the following DVD box set released.
*The Name of the Doctor
*The Day of the Doctor
*The Time of the Doctor
with the unreleased special features:
*Doctor Who Proms 2013
*The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot
*Strax Field Reports
*P.S. (series 7)
*TARDIS index file
I’m sure this would keep every Who fan happy!
gordon
December 28th, 2013 - 11:01amAnd then people would complain about having to purchace name twice (once in s7 box set and once in this box set you described)
DWfan
December 29th, 2013 - 10:20pmGood point. But at least a Day/Time release would be good. Although Name is part of Matt Smiths final trilogy.
drjakeyoung
February 1st, 2014 - 6:43pmadd an adventure in space and time to that list plus all the special features that came with the normal editions and it would be perfect.

December 26th, 2013 - 4:13pmthe regenaration in the tardis was a bit fast
DWfan
December 26th, 2013 - 4:22pmThe Regeneration was even worse than from 2nd to 3rd. All the recent regenerations have not been that good like 8th, War, 11th. They are two fast and don’t show the actual transition like from 10th to 11th.
Anonymous
December 27th, 2013 - 10:37ameven though the regenaration from 2 to 3 was bad the war games is still in my opinion one of the best doctor who storys EVER
DWfan
December 29th, 2013 - 10:38pmOn a Matt Smith Specials DVD they should deffenatly do an extended regeneration.
the astronaut of death
December 29th, 2013 - 10:40pmnaa I would not like that it would not feel right now what a would like is an extended john hurt regeneration
and why is everyone saying matts regeneration was to fast if anything it was the longest
DW fan
January 16th, 2014 - 9:17pmNo it was defiantly the shortest in who history.

December 25th, 2013 - 9:25pmtime was vary good if alittle slow at times ps merry xmas
Dominic Kane
December 25th, 2013 - 4:42pmI don’t gonna watch this today been having a great Christmas unless I watch all of it apart from the regeneration 🙁

December 26th, 2013 - 12:53amDude I was crying half the episode.

December 26th, 2013 - 4:28pm“I don’t gonna” makes no sense.
THE ERGON
December 24th, 2013 - 7:16pmMerry xmas and happy new year to everyone who visits this site. hope you all get what u want. Hope theres good things in store for 2014. I,d like a curse of peladon set release or an hand of fear.Heres hoping.
Anonymous
December 24th, 2013 - 8:56pmThanks merry xmas to you to 😀
THE ERGON
December 23rd, 2013 - 6:02pmSlightly off topic. Has anybody given any thought to what peter capaldi might wear as the doctor. I,m thinking similar to what he was wearing at his live unveiling or some Shiny 70s Disco suit with a modern twist.
Connor
December 23rd, 2013 - 9:08amDoes this box set include Day of the Doctor/Time of the Doctor or does it just include all the Matt Smith Christmas specials from 2010-2013? I want a box set featuring Day of the Doctor/Time of the Doctor and just those stories.
The Whofan101
December 23rd, 2013 - 3:08pmJust the Christmas specials
James A
December 23rd, 2013 - 4:47amWhy hasnt the 2013 prom been included as as an extra on The DAy/TIME dvd?
DWfan
December 26th, 2013 - 4:08pmBecause the BBC have messed up on the DVD extras for ages.
For Example:
-The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot
-Strax Field Reports
-Doctor Who Proms 2013
-Tardisodes
-BBC America specials (The Women of Dr Who, The Timey-Wimey of Dr Who, The Destinations of Dr Who)
etc.
DWfan
December 29th, 2013 - 10:39pmThey might release it on a Smith specials box set if there is one.
Terry
December 22nd, 2013 - 5:05pmInteresting that the London 2013 Dr Who Prom concert has not been made an “extra” with this release. Are the powers that be going to film one of the two February 2014 Australian Dr Who orchestral spectaculars and include that on a future DVD?
This concert is currently advertised as being hosted by Peter Davidson and featuring Dr Who music up to and including what will undoubedly be an emotionally moving Murray Gold farwewell to Matt Smith composition so will be of great interest to Northern Hemisphere fans.

December 22nd, 2013 - 9:07amI will be getting this it is worth the price
I found and article witch showed a time of the doctor dvd with no other specials
Anthony
December 21st, 2013 - 5:33pmYou know like we all get it now , the time of the doctor what I think is good what they’ve done is the trailer , Clara’s Speech 11th life is over now the clock is striking twelve’s.
Omg that is brill. What I don’t get is like their saying that 11 is actually 13? Have to find out my mums coming over to watch it with us so she’ll need a box of tissues when he goes. I’m still sad but we got to see what the new doctor’s like as everyone was like this over tenant I wasn’t the doctors the doctor. Guess you just start picking favourites,Oops
McGann is the Doctor
December 21st, 2013 - 2:42pmAWESOME cover
I am glad that it looks like it’s just for Time of the Doctor instead of looking some kind of boxset mashup 😎
after all, you gotta have a cover devoted to, 😥 his last episode
Harry Smith
December 21st, 2013 - 1:05pmWhen do you this will be on amazon to pre-order
DoctorAmyRoryRiverBANG
December 21st, 2013 - 11:53amBooBoo, how long will the 10% offer be on for?
booboo
December 21st, 2013 - 11:56amDon’t know on that one
DoctorAmyRoryRiverBANG
December 21st, 2013 - 12:01pmOk
DoctorAmyRoryRiverBANG
December 21st, 2013 - 11:45amit’s not fair about there being a snowman episode on it seeing as it came on a DVD in the Series 7 Part 2 Boxset with episodes 6 and 7 with Clara and 11th Doctor, so basicly you have no choice but to have 2 Snowmen DVDs, and the Night of the Doctor doesn’t come on it’s own! Dont know if to get this or not 😕
AlzieWhozie
December 23rd, 2013 - 9:43amYou’ve summed up how I’m feeling on this. I’d rather other extras than the previous Christmas specials, like most other people (I presume) I already have them – so I doubt I’ll be getting this DVD anytime soon, if at all.
DWfan
December 29th, 2013 - 10:40pmNight of the Doctor should not be on it’s own. It’s 6 minutes long. It would be pointless releasing on it’s own.
cyberman2
December 20th, 2013 - 5:03pmif only it was a collection of name of the doctor, day of the doctor and time of the doctor
cyberman2
December 22nd, 2013 - 5:20pm*sigh*
cyberman2
December 22nd, 2013 - 5:29pmstill good, but i still wish it was that collection
DWfan
December 29th, 2013 - 10:41pmLet’s hope it’ll be out in Summer.
the astronaut of death
December 29th, 2013 - 10:43pmthe “of the doctor” trilogy . sound cool
cyberman2
December 31st, 2013 - 11:41amwell something like the 50th anniversary trilogy box set
cyberman2
January 1st, 2014 - 12:49pmor the doctor trilogy
Anonymous
December 20th, 2013 - 2:02pmWhats the point in getting these DVDs? You can watch them again on TV or on your Laptop, Phone and/or Game console 🙄
videogamemad00
December 20th, 2013 - 2:40pmBecause some people, like me, prefer to have a physical copy of it.
Person
December 21st, 2013 - 3:58amYou realise not everyone has unlimited internet download. I certainly don’t.
connor
December 20th, 2013 - 12:20amam a bit annoyed as from what i can tell the other christmas specials are only on the region 2 everywhere else gets a single release of it, why bbc
connor
December 20th, 2013 - 12:22amoh but i have to get it has i need the ep on dvd
Nicholas
December 20th, 2013 - 10:08amBut why does it matter if you are getting extra episodes that you already have? You aren’t paying any extra for them….
videogamemad00
December 20th, 2013 - 1:36pmYou are paying extra. The US version which only has The Time Of The Doctor is $14.96 (about £9.17).
videogamemad00
December 20th, 2013 - 1:40pmSorry, I meant $14.98
dwFAN
December 20th, 2013 - 10:34pmIt’s good that the British get the extra episodes as the Americans have been getting much better DVD releases for Matt Smiths entire era. Like the full Proms, extra episodes on the Blu-Ray complete set and series 7 over a month earlier.
KORSAIR
December 19th, 2013 - 9:46pmI for one have pre ordered it and don’t care that I already have the three older xmas specials it’s a cheap price for four specials plus it’s in a pretty box 🙂 🙂
The TARDIS
December 19th, 2013 - 8:35pmIs there no way of just getting the Time of the Doctor? If not, I am really annoyed!
CyberGuy500
December 19th, 2013 - 8:13pmI’m glad it’s still the same size as a regular DVD but very annoyed that The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot has not been released yet.
Nicholas
December 20th, 2013 - 10:08amApparently the BBC are discussing this…
DWfan
December 29th, 2013 - 10:23pmThe BBC might make it a free iTunes download or include it as an extra on a Special Edition Classic Story from Davison/Baker/McCoy’s era.
Banjo
December 19th, 2013 - 7:39pmStill Thinking about it.if it comes with series 8 then i wont get this.
Banjo
December 19th, 2013 - 7:41pmbut it probably will so ya
Jamie
December 19th, 2013 - 8:05pmI doubt it will come with the series 8 set and even if it does it wont be out until 2015.
james
December 21st, 2013 - 8:35pmWell, the end of time wasn’t included in the series 5 box-set, and that was David Tennant’s last episode. It is unlikely that it will come with series 8. I would much prefer a time of the doctor episode only.
AlzieWhozie
December 23rd, 2013 - 9:46amJames, the difference with the End of Time is that the two episodes were released with the other “Specials” from that year.
Radburn
December 19th, 2013 - 7:38pmI’ll wait until Series 8 is out & they bung it on the beginning of the set…
CyberGuy500
December 19th, 2013 - 8:11pmYou’ll be waiting a long time then as the series 8 box set probably won’t be out until 2014.
Radburn
December 19th, 2013 - 8:17pmYeah, I waited for the Series 7 Boxset & complained like everyone else when ‘The Doctor, the Widow & the Wardrobe’ wasn’t on there. I object to having to pay extra for a standalone release when they should be on a COMPLETE Boxset.
I can understand the ‘Day Of The Doctor’ as it was the 50th. Anniversary Special – But Christmas Episodes should be on the Boxset when released. Cue more complaining in 2014/2015…
Tom
December 19th, 2013 - 9:08pmThe End of Time wasn’t on the Series 5 boxset. I would have appreciated a Day/Time release, or just single releases of both would be nice.
Radburn
December 19th, 2013 - 9:22pmThat came on the Tennant Boxset when they were being silly that year – on the ‘Complete Specials’
To be honest I blame Moffat & the BBC for this – All this messing about showing 6 episodes one year & then the rest the next!
Since 2005 we have only had 7 Series & a year of Specials (So we are missing a Series by years)- Why not show the Complete Season over the year followed by the Christmas Special then bung it on a Boxset the following January – Simples!
Nicholas
December 20th, 2013 - 10:09amIt isn’t Moffat’s fault. It was the BBC and their scheduling. Moffat just had to do as he was told.
james
December 21st, 2013 - 8:37pmThe series 8 box-set will probably not come out until 2015, as the series is on TV in the autumn.
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
December 19th, 2013 - 6:52pmnice cover but i don’t think i’ll get it, as i have all these already from the box sets.
The Whofan101
December 19th, 2013 - 6:33pmJust pre-ordered. I dislike that the previous Christmas specials are on the DVD, but it is helpful for those new collectors
Jaffa Cakes
December 19th, 2013 - 6:19pmOh. There was me thinking it’d be The Day of the Doctor and The Time of the Doctor with the following features:
The Night of the Doctor
The Last Day
Behind The Lens – The Day of the Doctor
Behind The Lens – The Time of the Doctor
Tales from The TARDIS
Farewell to Matt Smith
Perhaps with The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot. I am not sure how the set we’re getting could possibly be justified. It’s not as if the vanilla DVDs are still going so this could be an accompaniment.
Don’t forget that the code DOCTOR will get you 20% off at the BBC Shop!
Connor
December 23rd, 2013 - 9:12amI wish that was the Box set also! That was what i thought the box set was like too until now! i like your version 10× more than what there actualy doing! I thought it would be like the specials box set with the 10th doctor!
Andy
December 24th, 2013 - 3:09amI’m waiting out. I reckon a 50th Anniversary Boxed Set seems likely in the new year, featuring Day, Time and all the other docos, mini-episodes etc. There’s been enough material to fill a box set similar to the Tennant “Complete Specials” one, even if only two of the features are actual ‘episodes’.
DWfan
December 29th, 2013 - 10:26pmBBC could boost the box set by adding Name as it is still part of Smiths final trilogy.
