Why's Series 4 out so early?

Si.

Pip Madeley · 27th Nov 2007, 12:03 AM

Who knows... the release date's only tentative, I'm sure.

**Andrew Curnow** · 27th Nov 2007, 7:40 PM

Torchwood seems early too - if they start airing in January, and assuming it's 13 episodes again, then surely they won't finish transmitting until the end of March? I suppose in the words of JN-T we'll have to "Stay Tuned" to this thread!!

depending on when the 4th series ends that release date for the box set would almost be at the same time as the final vanilla DVD is released - unless they have brought the 4th series box set release forward because they intend to do some thing special to coincide with the 45th anniversary in november.

That's an interesting thought...

**Milky Tears** · 2nd Dec 2007, 4:53 PM

They're getting excited over on OG:

2|Entertain Catalogue Q1 2008

A few mistakes (as spotted by Steve Roberts), but could the rest of it be spot on?

Note 'Voyage of the Damned' listed as 75 minutes as well.

Edited to add: Tegan's Box is selling well.

**Perry Vale** · 3rd Dec 2007, 9:23 AM

Sales figures were the most interesting thing there, the guy shouldn't really have posted them!

**Si Hunt** · 3rd Dec 2007, 9:46 AM

Can someone re-post the info here? I'm not a member.

**Si Hunt** · 3rd Dec 2007, 10:41 AM

"Sontaran Experiment" having sold twice as many copies as "Arc"'/"Timeflight" must have annoyed someone. Get "The Kings Demons" and "The Rescue" out now!!

Si.

**Rob McCow** · 3rd Dec 2007, 11:36 AM

Although that lists units shifted, it doesn't take into account price crash. I reckon Tegan's Box has had a better hold on it's price than the Sontaran "We've got it for £7.99!" Experiment.

Yeah but the difference in price has a lot to do with 'The Sontaran Experiment' being only 2 episodes, doesn't it? I thought the rrp was cheaper than all the others from the outset.

**Si Hunt** · 3rd Dec 2007, 11:47 AM

Anyone hasn't "Tegan" had to be heavily and widely reduced since then? Presumably because it didn't, unsurprisingly, prove a hit with consumers.

Si.

Pip Madeley · 3rd Dec 2007, 11:54 AM

So Genesis of the Daleks is the best selling classic series Doctor Who DVD to date?

**Si Hunt** · 3rd Dec 2007, 12:01 PM

Doesn't surprise me! People just keep right on buying that bloody story!

Si.

**Rob McCow** · 3rd Dec 2007, 12:18 PM

Genesis of The Daleks hasn't been available on video for years, neither has its BBC Video bedfellow, Sontaran Experiment.

It's slightly surprising to me that these two were released separately, when two sort-of-related Tegan stories were stuffed together.

Wayne · 3rd Dec 2007, 12:29 PM

Perhaps it's because they knew that 2 classics from the Golden Era would sell more than well enough in their own right, whereas 2 average Davo stories stand a marginally better chance of selling more than 2 dozen copies if they're bunged together.

Pip Madeley · 3rd Dec 2007, 12:33 PM

It's slightly surprising to me that these two were released separately, when two sort-of-related Tegan stories were stuffed together.

To be fair, the Tegan stories were just as related as the Season 12 stories - Genesis followed Sontaran, Arc followed Time-Flight.

**Si Hunt** · 3rd Dec 2007, 12:40 PM

It's slightly surprising to me that these two were released separately, when two sort-of-related Tegan stories were stuffed together.

Things changed a lot at 2entertain between "Genesis" and "Arc" came out. It was the coming of Daniel Hall and the leaning towards box sets that did it.

**Anthony Williams** · 3rd Dec 2007, 1:08 PM

Didn't the RT always say that Tom stories tended to sell better than the rest?

**Dave Tudor** · 4th Dec 2007, 11:31 AM

For a long time, Peter Davison's stories were regularly the best selling DVDs, weren't they?

**Perry Vale** · 4th Dec 2007, 11:54 AM

No-one really knows (except 2|e). I think he was one of the better sellers, but in America, at least, Tom Baker stories outsold other Doctors by 2 to 1.

Pip Madeley · 20th Feb 2008, 5:49 PM

I've updated this list for you all. It's looking busy!

**Perry Vale** · 21st Feb 2008, 12:59 PM

I think you'll find some more updates in the next few days confirmed elsewhere, but for now I predict.....

Black Orchid - Apr 14th
Invasion Of Time - 5th May
Series 4 Vol.1 - 26th May
Bred For War - 26th May
Series 4 Vol.2 - 2nd June
Torchwood S2 Boxset - 30th June
