2012 confirmed and rumoured releases

[Simon R]

Robot is already out!

[Rob McCow]

Don't think that will stop them Simon!

[Si Hunt]

Will that be the first time we've had a new series Doctor released on DVD outside of his era? It's a small but important first.

Si.

[Si Hunt]

I'm not buying "Robot" again.

Si.

I think you're right Si. Obviously they think David Tennant is still such a draw that his era can stand on its own in a boxset and sell enough to be worthwhile.

[Simon R]

They should just call it 'The Money for Old Rope' set and be done with it.

Si.

No. The Eccleston S1 box set already did that.

[Rob McCow]

Technically true Steve - but it came out in November 2005, before Tennant's first full story as the Doctor. Barcelona?

[Stuart Wallis]

Invasion of the Dinosaurs and Terror Of The Zygons.

I was teasing a little, but it did come out three days after the Children In Need special (which was the first Tennant "episode").

[SiHart]

This was interesting...

Back in 1964, the story Planet of Giants had originally been filmed as a four-part story, but had the latter two episodes combined into one in order to tighten the plot for a better paced series opener. Though the original recording no longer exists, actress Carole Ann Ford, who played the Doctor's grand-daughter Susan, mentioned at the Dalek Invasion Earth convention that she had recently recorded an audio version of the original script for that fourth episode, The Urge to Live, which she believed is to be for the DVD release of the story.

[SiHart]

UNIT box is confirmed as Dinos and Android Invasion accroding to Blogtor Who.

[Si Hunt]

Interesting. It goes without saying that I expect Episode 1 to be recoloured. Be nice if there were CGI Dinos as well...

Si.

[SiHart]

I believe it's been recoloured but I suspect there's no CGI.

[P-Bal]

Sounds like it was a marvellous convention.

[Simon R]

It sounds like such a magical place.

[Si Hunt]

They've denied on Twitter that there is an audio version of The Urge to Live. So I don't know what she was on about.

Si.

[Andrew Curnow]

Maybe it's another thing Ian Levine had recorded on his shelf, alongside Shada?

[Simon R]

Maybe the old bat's finally gone senile.

[Dino]

Seeing as we have two left over stories for the UNIT box then would it be too obvious if we had...

The Face of Evil
The Mind of Evil

As The EVIL Box?
No idea what extras you could have. Unless footage of Tom Baker being rude in a restaurant shows up. Still The EVIL Box has a catchy title.

[Si Hunt]

How about a Body Parts box set? Featuring the FACE of Evil, the HAND of Fear, the MIND of Evil...

Si.

[Dino]

The Ambassadors Of Death + The Reign Of Terror = The ROYAL PROTOCOL Box.

[SiHart]

We could do a Death set- Ambassadors of DEATH and DEATH to the Daleks!

[Dirk Gently]

That's an excellent idea, Si.

[SiHart]

From Ed Stradling this morning....

Off to studio shortly for the re-recording of dialogue for #doctorwho @classicdw Planet of Giants part 3 - and 4.

Looks like they're going to recreate the original Planet of Giants then
