Btw season 20 and 2 had 9 discs.

[@jarnopp]

@@Aneurin_Hunt Thank you! :)

[@davidscholesphotographer]

I can't wait for this - My all time fave season and the one I remember as a kid. I haven't bought any of the previous blu ray box sets after buying them on dvd, but I will be getting this. Can't wait to see all the new special editions!

[@jarnopp]

I am loving the excitement! And by the way, we always need more excited souls like you in my private online Who community: www.skool.com/doctorwho 😊👊

[@TediousMilkshake]

7:31 it's the lemonade he stuck the kandyman to the floor with! 11:55 fifth version of silver nemesis*

[@jarnopp]

Hehe, thank you!

[@johntaylor6345]

Both Andrew Cartmel and Sylvester McCoy wanted to run with the mystery man idea because Sylvester thought that his Doctor should be.

[@barstang]

This was the first season that I ever watched. Started watching with Happiness Patrol when I was 6. I agree with you on Silver Nemesis. As great as Remembrance is (and it really is), it's good to just have some straight forward sunny pantomime. Silver Nemesis delivers this in spades, and Lady Peinforte is on another level of bat-shittery. I love McCoy's era, and I think Andrew Cartmel was the best script editor the series had after Robert Holmes left in the 70s.

[@jarnopp]

Hehe, sunny panto is a great way of putting it. Cartmel was a man with vision, for sure! 👊😊

[@barstang]

@@jarnopp yeah, it's pure panto. “All things will soon be mine." I'm a huge Cartmel fan and I think it was incredible how he managed to achieve making the Doctor “front and center" whilst still giving the companion more floor space than at any other point in the show's history. Feels like 25 is when JNT finally got the team he needed so he could do what he did best in terms of budgeting, packing and promotion of the show.

[@Grayvorn]

I saw Remembrance of the Daleks on original transmission in 1988. I was 5 years old, it was my first and most favourite story ever!!!!

[@jarnopp]

Wow, what a great story to kick off a love affair with Who!

[@bigd5090]

I've already got Remembrance DVD. This is probably worth it though! Wish Davros was on a disc though really you need Ace swinging a base ball bat!

[@johntaylor6345]

I liked the idea that the Doctor was going to be a mystery man in season 25 and 26. At the end of Silver Nemesis Ace asks him who is he. The Doctor responds with a finger to his mouth. In Battlefield Season 26 he is recognised as Merlin. He is also a man of mystery in the Curse of Fenric.

[@jarnopp]

Yes I quite like this side of seven! :)

[@andrewlevitt9386]

Think it's Lady Peinforte (Silver Nemesis) on the obscured disc!!

[@jarnopp]

Ahhhhh yes, thanks Andrew. I should recognised that shoulder. 😄

[@jamescole8771]

Now Surely Season 6 Patrick Troughton Last Season Gotta Be Next

[@FishDS9]

Great news!

[@jarnopp]

Hooray, glad you're happy! :)

[@bluestripetiger]

I believe that with this release all the Sylvester McCoy seasons will have been released. That only leaves Davison season 2, Pertwee season 1, and Tom Baker seasons 2 and 5 left in the classic collection to be released. There is of course the entire black and white era of the show to do but there are so many missing episodes that who knows if we will ever be able to get complete season sets. I was honestly surprised that the BBC was able to release a Hartnell season 2 set. The problem is especially bad once you get to Troughton. Perhaps the best we can expect is a "best of" Troughton bluray set.

[@johnnyparker1258]

Well this is a lovely surprise, your video popping up alerted me to this release. Perhaps my favourite McCoy series, really looking forward to this release.

[@jarnopp]

It looks fabulous. Hopefully will be easy to get online. I have most of the other sets released. Worth it for Daleks story and the extras alone.

Absolutely, Scott! 😊👊

[@aboyandhisdogRE]

My favourite season of one of my favourite doctors and Companions. We get the extended cut of nemesis. I'm so happy. Also my favourite feature on the sets are the behind the sofa and it's great to see Janet is there. It doesn't feel right when shes not included 🤣 But everything about this is wonderful. I'm so friggin excited it's ridiculous 😁

[@jarnopp]

Woohoo! Me too. Excited about the different versions of Nemesis. Also SLIGHTLY confused about them. :D

[@Grayvorn]

The 80s making of Nemesis is absolutely brilliant too.

[@jarnopp]

@@Grayvorn Yes! I remember enjoying it on VHS. :)

[@HandOfDoom9349]

FanTAStic! My joint fave season, alongside 7. I'm only 3 minutes in, I REALLY hope the extended Silver Nemesis is a bonus, it's so much better than the broadcast version.

[@jarnopp]

Woohooooo!

[@HandOfDoom9349]

​@@jarnopp YESSSSSS!!!! I can't wait to see it again. Also, glad to see Peter Davison isn't doing Behind The Sofa. Miserable sod 😂

So all we have left to come out on Blu-ray (except for 1st to 6th black-and-white series of doctor who because of the missing episodes which is still going on today?) is seasons 7th, 11th, 13th, 16th and 21st left to wait for now.🤩

[@jarnopp]

Only five left... is that right? 😲 This is coming as quite a shock to me. 👀

[@jarnopp]

Ahhhh, I see.... except for the first six. 😆

[@BoyTrain872]

That’s right, except for season two because that’s already out with two episodes still missing from the complete set.

[@Jaye_The_Gaye]

i called this one, and i was hoping for it because this means something has to be planned for the space pirates. I always said if the last set of 2024 wasnt season 6, then the bbc must have something planned for that story.

[@Kidred-ys2vp]

The 7th doctor's era is now completed, and 80s, who is at 95 % complete, we just need Pete divisions last season.

[@jarnopp]

Ah yes, that's true!

[@andrewlevitt9386]

Just pre-ordered mine with Amazon. May place an order with HMV/Zazzi as a back-up. Wonder if the 7th Doctor/Ace Tales from the Tardis will be on here?

Sadly, there's currently no sign of it in the features list. Still, hoooooray!

[@markbelsom3174]

I like season 25, not many to go now. Dont know if it's true but I have heard that Blakes7 is coming out on Blu-ray with new cgi.

Three top-notch stories and one silver-painted 💩. Remembrance wins by a whisker with Galaxy close behind. Ian Reddington steals the show as chief clown - one of Who's best guest performances!

Hi there Ian! You mean, from the full Collection range? :)

[@ianboden3056]

@@jarnopp yes please any of the classic ones, probably all pretty good quality though

[@DrWhoFanJ]

@@ianboden3056All of them.

[@mjanovec]

Not a top season for me, but even my least favorite classic seasons have been a fun romp on these Collection box sets. So many great extras to dive into. Does any other television series get this kind of treatment? If so, I haven’t heard of it. Greatest Show in the Galaxy is my favorite story of the season, just because it’s so odd, but not freakishly odd like Happiness Patrol. Unfortunately I have long disliked Silver Nemesis but am willing to give it another try. (Gotta try at least once per decade!) Some stories I once disliked eventually won me over.

[@jarnopp]

Great comment, thank you! And yes, you're right - certainly no 40-year-old TV episodes get this kind of royal treatment.

[@thedarrenzone1963]

Great news, Jason. And a Remembrance of The Daleks special edition. Oh yes. Thanks for the update.

An interesting idea - yes, I wonder!

Brilliant choice for next collection box set, one of my favourite series ( probably best McCoy series). BBC HAVE RAISED THEIR GAME REGARDING SPECIAL EFFECTS. Looking forward to seeing updated special effects. I have already ordered my copy from ZAVVI. another great run through and blog thank you. sad to see though that there is no mini movie to support the release.

Really glad you're happy! I actually haven't had a chance to watch the trailer yet. Odd that there's no mini movie!

[@ExplosiveAction]

A nice release. Always liked this season, but that is largely due to Silver Nemesis and Remembrance. I think I am liking Happiness Patrol more than I used to. Greatest Show was always fun and multi-layered. The new effects footage in the trailer the BBC just dropped looked particularly good. 7th and Ace were always "my" Doctor as it was airing when I was a kid of the 80s so saw it all first run. Pretty sure I had a crush on Ace...

[@jarnopp]

@@JoeSiegler While Lee did the artwork for the box, the mockup you’re seeing of the box set is likely done by someone in the marketing department (since no physical copies of the box may exist at this stage). They just cut and paste Lee’s artwork and placed it on an image used for the Season 8 set. I really wouldn’t worry about it. The actual box you receive will have the correct number on it.
