The Doctor Who Thread

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

It's being mooted that the upcoming specials will be as as follows.

New Years Day will conclude the 'Dalek trilogy' whilst an Easter special will be a historical Chinese episodes about pirates.

No mention of the feature length finale due for the BBC's centenary in October.

If i was thinking logically i'd think that season 6 might come first to test the waters seeing as every story bar The Space Pirates is available in full.

Maybe season two as that is complete bar The Crusade. Plus it has the selling point of two Dalek stories including The Dalek Invasion of Earth.

Season 6 would be awesome. Mind you, I’d love a Troughton or Hartnell boxset to be one of the next releases.

There's been nothing concrete on anything season box set related. I have heard rumours that it could be season 15 - Fang Rock - Invasion of Time, but they were only what someone somewhere mentioned online.
