Isn't the plan to just do which ever season is most complete? I assume if there are any missing episode discoveries after the fact then we'd buy an updated disc with the new content to replace the old one. The three obvious candidates, then, are One, Five and Six. Marco Polo seems unlikely to turn up, despite having been sold widely. It seems to have been withdrawn too early to survive. Seven episodes is a lot - and expensive - to animate and there are only Telesnaps for six of the seven episodes. Wheel is, as I’ve previously noted, a good candidate for animation but cash is needed for that. It’s possible that one or more episodes could be out there. Space Pirates has no Telesnaps and there’s no visual material at all for Episodes 3 to 6. It’s possible that one or more episodes could be out there. Take your pick….

I haven’t seen a release date for Season 20 yet - although I could have missed it - but there still could be something more before November.

Season 20 has been in the pipeline for a long time now so good to see it finally surface! On a less positive note Amazon’s charging a wallet emptying £54.99 for the set which is a sizeable price hike given that ‘Collection releases averaged at least ten quid less until very recently. There’s every chance the price will fluctuate downwards between now and release though.
Regardless, having been a bit underwhelmed by Season 9’s newly commissioned special features those for this set admittedly look excellent! Updated special effects for Enlightenment in particular should definitely be a highlight…

I’ll be interested in what’s been done.

Amazon doesn't have a date listed yet, but zavi has December 2025 as its estimated release date. Likely to be a place holder though. Alot of games show up with a release date of December 31st the year after they are due until the studio has a better idea of when the games going to go gold. Set does look exciting though. Will archt he trailer after the school run when I can enjoy it properly

If the option was £10 more on the price or cut content,n with these being the definitive release of the classic series Il take the content every time

Again though, my grumbles are admittedly mitigated by new effects for an unprecedented two stories (technically three as it appears The Five Doctors has been upgraded again too) plus definite gems like footage from Longleat ‘83 et al! Overall then looks great… better start saving now.

Galaxy4.co.uk are quoting 18th September as the release date - haven’t seen it anywhere else, but that’s good news if true! Looks a fantastic set filled with goodies!

So there could still be something for the 60th 👍 Perhaps someone’s looked down the back of the sofa and found some cash to fund another colour source for IotD1? NOTE: Before the Sun, Mirror, etc, etc start getting excited the above 👆 is completely unevidenced speculation.

Doubt there'd be another release so close to the 60th, and I think this being a bumper set and had the celebratory story of the five doctors this is the way the range is celebrating the 60th. If it was released in mid Sept I think it would open the door for a late December release though similar to season 2 last year. Nice little Christmas present for us all. As much as I'd love season 11 I think we are due another Tom. 15 or 16 would be my guess. Assuming they don't have another go at a 60'a release

Shocked by the initial Australia price for Season 9 of $126 when the average price was 60 to 80. Hopefully that comes down when it's released.
