BBC Studios announces Peter Davison’s inaugural series as the next installment in the DOCTOR WHO: THE COLLECTION Blu-ray range

Today BBC Studios is pleased to announce Doctor Who Season 19 as the next release in the Doctor Who: The Collection range. Season 19 is Peter Davison’s first series as the Fifth Doctor and this edition follows the success of Tom Baker’s first season on Blu-ray. To be released on the 19th November 2018, this collector’s edition also has a limited run.

The title will be available to pre-order from HMV and Amazon from tomorrow.

Peter Davison joined the long running BBC series in 1982, replacing Tom Baker as the Doctor. His first season bursts with the fresh energy and breathless excitement that would come to define his era. Across seven classic adventures, the Doctor and his companions Tegan, Nyssa and Adric face off against The Master, the terrifying Mara, the Terileptils, the Plasmatons, Monarch and the revamped Cybermen, making a triumphant return to the series in one of the programme’s all-time classics


The Limited Edition Blu-ray includes brand new ‘Special Features’ exclusive to this set include: Five new ‘Making-Of’ documentaries for Castrovalva, Four To Doomsday, Black Orchid, Earthshock and Time-Flight, surround sound mixes for Kinda and Earthshock, an Extended Version of Black Orchid Part One, rare studio footage from Castrovalva, Four To Doomsday, Earthshock and Time-Flight, updated special effects for Castrovalva, seven more editions of Behind The Sofa and a newly-shot one-hour interview Peter Davison In Conversation with Matthew Sweet, and much more.

The eight-disc box set also includes the Peter Davison/David Tennant mini-episode Time Crash, plus hours of extensive special features previously released on DVD.

All 26 episodes are being remastered from scratch by Peter Crocker and Mark Ayres. With this season’s original 16mm film elements still in existence, the location material can be presented in true HD, with studio material upscaled. Lee Binding is again providing stunning packaging design and Pete McTighe has written extensive booklet notes and is the content consultant for the title. Doctor Who: The Collection is executively produced for BBC Studios by Russell Minton.

Alternately, the new series might be starting on October 7th!

"iTunes in Germany appear to have just given away one of the BBC’s most closely guarded secrets… Their listing for Series 11 of Doctor Who includes the “arrival” date as the 7th of October – despite previous claims elsewhere that Series 11 was going to land during September – and that date happens to be a Sunday. (The pattern for iTunes in Germany has been to release the series episodes on date of broadcast.)"

intworks in Manchester this weekend
Vworp will include several former Time Lords and The TARDIS


The Printworks will be transformed into the Whoniverse this weekend when a Doctor Who fan convention appears at the entertainment complex.

Fans of the science fiction TV show will be able to meet former Doctor Who actors as well as attend live talks with directors, scriptwriters and producers.


Vworp will appear at The Printworks this Sunday, September 9, between 10am and 5pm.

As well as former Time Lords, there will be a host of famous props to see - including Daleks and the TARDIS - that you can take photos with.

This event follows the successful Harry Potter convention DraigCon back in July this year, and a similar Game of Thrones event back in June.

Former Doctors will be in attendance for photo opportunities and meet and greets, including Peter Davison, Colin Baker and Paul McGann.

There will also be dedicated art prints that have been produced especially for the panels.


Chic and Nile Rodgers announce Manchester Arena show on UK tour - how to get tickets
Fred Booth, centre director of The Printworks, said: "We’re delighted that we get to host this fan convention which celebrates a much-loved British television series, enjoyed by all members of the family."

Mark Cookson, event organiser of Vworp, added: "The sheer response from the Who fandom for this event has been immense, and just shows the popularity of the show. We’ve got some great guests lined up, with more to be announced, and it’ll be the perfect warm up for the debut of the 13th Doctor in October."

Vworp takes place on the 9th September from 10am to 5pm.


Tickets cost £22 each, which will get you access to all panels, screening and lectures, plus an event lanyard and programme, a free autograph from your chosen Vworp guest, and a print of the event's poster art.
