The Collection: Season 7 TRAILER | Doctor Who

[@whophd]

Katy Manning and Matthew Waterhouse are such a good pairing!

[@jeremythomaswebb1485]

I know Right? I'm currently watching season 15 and I love Matthew and Katy's interactions in behind the sofa. 😁 A unexpected but fantastic pairing!!

[@driouxbie]

OMG, they are a delightful team we never knew we needed.

[@farmbrough]

She will protect him from Janet!

[@so1opiniao]

One of the best seasons ever ❤

[@farmbrough]

It really is. And Pertwee is just magnificent!

[@so1opiniao]

@farmbrough it's a short season but, look, Spearhead From Space is a perfect beginning for the new coloured era; The Silurians is a ver well made story; The Ambassadors of Death is almost perfect and Inferno is definitely a classic one. Besides, Liz Shaw is one of the most underrated companions ever, she's brilliant!

[@farmbrough]

@so1opiniao yes, and despite 7 episodes, the longer stories don't flag.

[@swiftbird4846]

What a season. Incredible stories and so impactful. Fantastic!

[@aleatoriac7356]

LOL John Levene's expression "...because every time I did something someone said 'thank you'" What a delight

[@garym6315]

I've always had a great affinity for John Levene. He strikes me as a someone who has struggled with loneliness, depression, insecurities, and so any success or praise really means a lot to him. I can totally relate to all that. I also admire the fact that he worked really hard to become bigger and better after Dr Who, with his move to America, writing, singing and whatever. It's not led to him being a star but at least he put the effort in and tried.

[@DanTheMan2150AD]

Top notch Season can’t wait for the new restorations.

[@peterjoy1606]

Will you make more effects comparisons ? Happiness Patrol etc .

[@kopitarrules]

Okay, you got me. I'm tearing up from this. Jon was MY Doctor, the first one I ever saw. Living in Canada we only saw Doctor Who on American PBS stations so wew were always a few years behind so I can remember Watching Jon from start to finish being broadcast as if it were new when I was two years old in 1976. Made me fall in love with the series and I'm still a whovian to this day. Thank you.

[@MichaelBonner-m6v]

In Ontario, you could see Doctor Who on TVO. The first episodes I saw were also Jon Pertwee. Such a talent! They took a chance hiring an actor so well known for comedy roles, but they must have been over the moon when they saw the results.

[@40stbotolph]

It only occurs to me now at the end where he introduces himself as "Smith, Doctor Jon Smith" that he's paying homage to "Bond, James Bond". It foretold the direction the show was going to take.

[@chickenwinna]

The 3rd Doctor set the groundwork for so much of the later series. The master was introduced with him and ended up being the last villain of the classic series.

[@willlovesgaz]

John Levene is so lovely xxx

[@ronaldeliascorderocalles]

Wow, that regeneration scene looks like one that would be done in the classic era. I kinda like it more than the one in the War Games in Colour (not that its bad, but I really like this one) Edit: Its my birthday, and this release announcement is a great birthday gift!

[@hotdog1214]

Same, it definitely has a feeling of using the technology of its time and really fits with the forced nature of the regeneration.

[@kendallbald]

Aw happy birthday 🥳

[@DanTheMan2150AD]

I miss when the Regenerations were all different.

[@TheWillHadcroft]

Feel exactly the same, Ronald. More in keeping with the era style. Wish they had done it this way on War Games in Colour.

[@barney9456]

Agreed 100%

[@yogisie]

I hope they do a tribute to the late Caroline John

[@DrWhoFanJ]

They’ve already done one.

[@DavysFlicks]

There was a long doc on her on the Spearhead bluray, which will be carried over. No need for another - that was fab.

[@jefferybushnik3057]

Not even a moment for her in the trailer? I really liked Liz Shaw!

[@farmbrough]

@@jefferybushnik3057 Probably because she was dead, so they got Katy Manning.

[@jefferybushnik3057]

@farmbrough yeah, but that doesn't mean they couldn't show a clip of her on the show.

[@OldMovieRob]

Third Doctor was always my favorite.

[@DWboy14]

YOU REMEMBERED A BIT LATE

[@Timmymantwo]

@DWboy14 It got leaked before the trailer was ready.

[@DWboy14]

​@Timmymantwo I know lol but everyone was saying they forgot the trailer 😂

[@Timmymantwo]

@DWboy14 Fair enough

[@rory_pond1701]

I pre-ordered my copy three weeks ago and already received a delivery date. This trailer is *extremely* late.

[@AndrewChapman]

Better late than never.

[@Tardistravels-d5b]

season 7 was the 1st dr who season i watched back then in jan 1970.....ive been hooked ever since.............classic dr who is the best

[@RJLNetwork]

Inferno is my favorite Jon Pertwee story and I believe one of the best stories period. Nicholas Courtney was so good as the Brigade Leader. He finally got to play the bad guy!

[@MaybeHarvey]

Liz Shaw my beloved

[@johnbibb2471]

Can we PLEASE have a clean copy of this regeneration? It’s much better than the “in Colour” one!

[@Acknowledgerofdoctorwho]

can you elaborate what you mean?

[@JoeSiegler]

@@Acknowledgerofdoctorwho They changed it for "War Games in Color" - gave it a clean regeneration. @johnbibb2471 - There is no regeneration from 2 to 3 in the original program. Never existed.

[@DavysFlicks]

It's nice but mixing in parts from The Mind Robber.....it's even more fan-edit than In Colour.

[@DrWhoFanJ]

@@JoeSieglerColour*

[@tardiselliottrailers]

Love this take on the regeneration.

[@DavysFlicks]

Inferno looks like an unreal improvement in quality!

[@farmbrough]

No kidding! I first watched that in black and white on a pirate VHS!

[@NellyCelephant-f7e]

The surviving elements for this season are a right bundle ranging from 16mm film negatives and one solitary broadcast madder (Ambassadors 1) to arguably the worst condition surviving 8mm telecine and off air 70s NTSC VHS, via fan made audio recordings. I'm really interested to see what they can do with such a hodgepodge

[@farmbrough]

@@NellyCelephant-f7e That's true. It's also interesting to see how far they've come since they were restored for the DVDs.

[@connorparsonage]

I'm excited

[@Thatonefilmcritic]

We’re getting close to a complete 3rd doctor era.

[@talonschultz5277]

Just season 11 to go…

[@BJWanlund]

Yep. And I hope that Season 11 doesn’t have too many more problematic colour restorations…

[@Thatonefilmcritic]

@@BJWanlund well we only have invasion of the dinosaurs part one that probably needs a recolour.

[@AndrewChapman]

@@Thatonefilmcritic As long as they can fix the issues they were having for the DVD release and make it look much better this time.

[@Drredwhodwarf]

I would say that spearhead is the best debut of a new doctor closely followed by robot. This season is grown up Dr who and iconic.

[@mainstreetsaint36]

I don't think any opening for a new Doctor has ever been a briskly paced as Spearhead from Space. Even Troughton's first story, Power of the Daleks was a bit dilatory with the first episode.

[@TheLoneJedi-77]

For me it would be The Eleventh Hour although Spearhead is a very close second

[@cyrusq5999]

THE POWER OF THE DALEKS is a much better serial than ROBOT.

[@adrianjames3815]

This is a great season

[@ianbousfield1962]

I love the Silurians ❤

[@Domgo-d1w]

Counting the days down.

[@SassySapphireUK]

One of my favourite seasons!

[@simeonyves5940]

The PERFECT Season! when all 4 Adventures were Top Tier! the Start of the Golden Age of Doctor Who!

[@ledocteurwho8109]

One word.... PERTWEE !!!!!!

[@bletheringfool]

Pertweeeeeeeeeeeee!!!1

[@ulsteredz]

Couldn't they have added a scene with Caroline John? The in-universe version? Otherwise, I'm excited for this release.

[@stevesj80]

THE Doctor

[@GeorgeDoctorWhoprod]

YEYYY FAVOURITE SEASON

[@AndrewChapman]

Yeah, although I love Jo Grant, I do wish Liz Shaw could've at least stayed for a second season.

[@GeorgeDoctorWhoprod]

@ I know she was so good which is why I get the Third Doctor Adventures cd boxset cause they do a good job with Liz and her daughter who do an impression of her is incredible aswell

[@CamMcGinn1981]

The one I’ve been waiting for. I’ve never seen The Silurians or Ambassadors of Death so will enjoy finally watching them and I’ve always loved Inferno. I’m soooo ready for this.

[@andrewtomes4980]

Preordered a while back, can’t wait!

[@Uzumakipavel]

Now all it's left is more good-looking dinosaurs and good-looking colours for the first part of that story and the journey of the third Doctor is completed

[@GuardianKyle]

If I'm not mistaken, we are just nine seasons away from having a complete set! Oh, when the day comes when we have all of Classic Who on Blu Ray. Believe me, I know it will take a while, with the lost episodes of Seasons 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6. I'm hoping the next season will be 21. That way, we have all of the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Doctors in a row!

[@TheLoneJedi-77]

Yep 9. Season 21 is the safe bet for the new boxset as they seem to have an order and Davison’s last boxset was back in 2023 so they’ll probably finish him up before then finishing up with Tom Baker & Jon Pertwee. Like you said the Black & White boxsets will take more time due to the missing episodes but hopefully by the time they get to them we’ll have more animations done to fill in the gaps (Season 6 is only missing The Space Pirates & Season 5 The Wheel in Space so hopefully they get prioritised so we can get a Troughton boxset soon).

[@rnw2739]

Me too!! Season 21 is wonderful, contains the gems 'The Caves of Androzani' and 'The Awakening' and means both Davison and Colin Baker's eras, are available in their entirety on bluray! Not forgetting of course, more of Kamelion!!!

[@rogershore3128]

There are rights issues with seasons 1 and 13 and so few Troughton stories exist, I can't see a season 4 or 5 collection either.

[@TheLoneJedi-77]

@ I’m aware of the rights issues with Season 1 (the son of one of the writers of An Unearthly Child removed the BBC permission to show the episode) but what’s the problem with Season 13? It’s probably my favourite Season of Doctor Who and I just assumed they were saving the best for last

[@DrWhoFanJ]

⁠@@rogershore3128There aren’t rights issues with either of those sets.

[@TokuRewinds]

Hey oh!!! One more down.... 9 more to go!

[@thatcedric]

You wouldn't know season 7 has an incredible dynamic female lead from this trailer.

[@dominictrofa4156]

Nice to have an official announcement even though it's already been announced.

[@JoeSiegler]

They announced it without a trailer before.

[@dominictrofa4156]

​@@JoeSieglerI know, but it's nice to see a trailer for it.

[@WyldstaarStudios]

FINALLY!

[@Darren79]

I do wish they'd experiment with the style of trailer - EPIC action doesn't work for ALL of them.

[@NealHunterHyde]

Huh-ZAAA! Can’t wait for this to his shelves in the USA! I know it’ll be a longer wait, but I lived through The Wilderness Years, I can’t wait a little longer :-)

[@derekgray5278]

Glad to see Katy Manning is still going strong🎉🎉❤❤❤...love that ladyXxx

[@bondfool]

I can’t wait to watch Inferno again!

[@billyhunt]

Everytime i watch Spearhead From Space, it takes me back to watching for the first time as a 5 year old in 1970.

[@DawnDianaDIYandStuff]

Enter the 3rd Doctor! Who I love to refer to as the James Bond Doctor!❤❤❤

[@TheWillHadcroft]

Ohhhhhhh! I cannot wait for this.

[@who-time]

Easily one of the best seasons in the show's history. Can't wait to re-watch it!

[@IThinkYouLookLarvely]

Favourite doctor, favourite season. These look great. I heard Spearhead is the only story of the entire original run that can be classified as true HD. Glad I kept hold of my Blu Ray player!

[@SteveODonnell]

Probably it it was shot on 35mm film and not on studio video cameras.

[@Rockotarthepurplehatguy]

​@@SteveODonnell I thought it was 35mm film. I've never heard of 33mm film before.

[@farmbrough]

@@Rockotarthepurplehatguy I hate to be that nerd, but it was 16mm film, which is what was typically used by the BBC for location film. It was quite adequate for the size of our television screens and wasn't intended for cinemas, like 35mm was. 16mm is also quite capable of being scanned in high enough resolution to give a high-def-type digital video copy, which I believe they did for the 2013 Blu-ray. However I am told that a lot of time has been spent on re-grading the colour of this release.

[@SteveODonnell]

@Rockotarthepurplehatguy fat fingers

[@Rockotarthepurplehatguy]

@@farmbrough not surprising actually. In fact I thought that this was shot on 16mm film but Mr. 33mm here made me doubt. The quality of the footage is more akin to 16mm than 35mm when you look at it closely, a bit more grainy and whatnot.

[@gregorynaeyaert9331]

yes! made my day.

[@mythghost]

Still waiting for it to show up on my Amazon

[@ValenAlder-it5ow]

Ambassadors of Death and Inferno are the goat

[@AndrewChapman]

Yeah, Ambassadors of Death is one I come back to a lot.

[@mikebasil4832]

Indeed the season where a very great deal would most significantly change for the Whoniverse. Thank you for an excellent trailer. 👍🏻

[@whatsup4825]

[@VallentRo]

[@jjjeffersonmusic8170]

Pre-ordered mine, my favourite Jon Pertwee season

[@tjnewton71]

I don't know, you wait over 50 years to see a 2nd Doctor regeneration and then two turn up in a little over a month lol

[@grahamcann1761]

My "first" Doctor was William Hartnell, as I was a young Californian living in England, and I loved it. But then I moved (back) to the U.S., and there was no Doctor. Until NBC started airing episodes of Doctor Who with Jon Pertwee in 1973. I was SO excited, and that is why my favorite Doctor is Jon Pertwee. (And not my first Doctor.) Thank you so very much for the video.

[@rendez2k]

Can't wait for this one! One of my faves 🙂

[@MushroomHaterProductions]

From the terrifying Auton invasion of Ealing Broadway to the explosive eruption of Project Inferno (on Parallel Earth), watching Jon Pertwee's first season on Blu-ray is going to be a blast! 💥

[@DavysFlicks]

Don't mind hyperbole but Culshaw saying "No character in the history of Doctor Who is more beloved than The Brigadier"? He's beloved, sure, but....The Doctor (all of them!), Sarah Jane, probably Rose for the modern fan?

[@dazjackson1972]

Did they just steal the music from the CRYSIS videogame series? Ah well, Doctor Who did always take a few liberties 😂

[@corwinsshadow]

I think all the Doctors are brilliant, but let's be fair certain ones get heaps more praise than others. As time goes on, the brilliance of the show with Pertwee (especially in those first two seasons/series) really strikes home for me. It deserves much more attention than it seems to often get. So glad this is coming to Blu-Ray. Hope the US release is not far behind or I may just have to cave and get the UK edition.

[@DrWhoFanJ]

You should be getting the UK editions anyway. And seasons and series are entirely different things.

[@AndrewChapman]

Agreed.

[@rauaniani]

Cool

[@rossmclelland]

Excellent, my favourite season from the original run. From the clips it’s looking as good as one could possibly hope. Add in a bit of Matthew Sweet & Toby Hadoke, no doubt a Chris Chapman documentary in there somewhere, and some great behind the sofa combos, what more could one ask for. Hoping there’s a cheeky wee 5.1 mix somewhere, but if not it still looks bloody marvellous. Can’t wait for this one.

[@AnotherScifiGuy]

That is a nice trailer.

[@johngurnhill8743]

Now this is doctor who

[@AndrewChapman]

I noticed the only clips they show of Ambassadors of Death is from Ep 1. I guess the restoration on that one has been the most challenging as it was last time for the 2012 DVD.

[@MsSteve70]

It has indeed been challenging... in fact i have it on good authority that they're still finishing it up as i type. No kidding.

[@AndrewChapman]

@@MsSteve70 Had a feeling they were.

My crack headcanon is that ironically "John Smith" is the Doctor's actual name, named after him by his biological mother Sarah Jane.

[@cesarmadero05]

I love the transition regeneration much better than anything they could have done to show it. Love it. Goes hard.

[@dancingmonkey08]

pity you didnt get John Levene as Benton to do another short movie, like they were doing before, maybe thinking back to his days in UNIT... its hard to believe, but theres only like 5 living actors left from that era...I know it was over 50 years ago but still...be thankful for actors and people in general while they are still alive

[@robrob8258]

Awesome!Just season 11 left

[@scifislack]

That regeneration is 100% better then the one they used in War Games in Colour

[@ulsteredz]

It was a bold attempt, but it didn't quite work for me. You can clearly see Pertwee is wearing his own clothes here. They should've got Confession Dial involved again for a smoother transition. I like the War Games in Colour regeneration, but this one certainly has potential with a little more tweaking.

[@peterweeks2066]

The most alien looking thing in this trailer is Matthew Sweet's glasses🤣

[@TheTaridsMan]

epic!

[@joshuajoshua2732]

I'm glad they used the original version of the Second Doctor's regeneration for this trailer than that god awful War Games in colour that beginning regeneration was done perfectly no golden energy just plain old classic slowly transitioning from black and white to colour. I so look forward to Season 7 and the remastering looks fantastic 😊.

[@JakeSwantz]

@@talonschultz5277 And Season One. And The War Games in Colour. And The Savages...

[@JakeSwantz]

@@DavysFlicks Been like that for a lot longer than 7 years. For a while release dates weren't all that far apart across regions - they were probably at their closest to simultaneous around the 50th anniversary - but in recent years it's been trending back the other direction with very long delays outside the UK, and some content not available at all. And it is kinda surprising we got Blake's 7 Series 1 in Region A before Doctor Who Season 25. Ultimately it is what it is.

[@neilmcdonald9164]

Sad thing is that everybody,bar John Levene,is dead...so no interviews presumably (or at least not new ones)😢🎩

[@garym6315]

Conversely, I've always liked how the Pertwee team were always happy to participate in stuff while they were around, so that every story has some contribution from the actors, writers, producers, script editor. Their insights will be around forever.

[@echowing9560]

Can't wait to own this!

[@GeorgeDoctorWhoprod]

The quality and restoration is absolutely outstanding and wayyy better than the dvd releases. I’m not having a go at the restoration team of them because at the time they were really good but this looks way better

Yeah, hope Ambassadors of Death will look a lot better this time. Though I can understand the technical problems they were having before, which delayed the DVD release back in 2012.

Well I'll be fine with a recon like 'Loose Cannon' did. If they want to animated that as a solo release future' fine with that as well, but WE NEED A TROUGHTON' NOW, HE HAS TO BE REPRESENTED.
