| Artwork for the Region 1 releases of the gap year specials has been released.
On February 2, we will see a standalone release of The Waters of Mars, a standalone release of The End of Time and a box set containing all the gap year specials, including the previously-released The Next Doctor and Planet of the Dead. All releases will be available on both DVD and Blu-Ray (except The Next Doctor which was not shot in HD and will be unavailable on Blu-Ray). The US packaging carries an “As Seen on BBC America” notation; we can but assume the Canadian packaging will carry an “As Seen on SPACE” notation. Edit: Per Steve Manfred, The Next Doctor will be upconverted to 1080i and be on Blu-Ray as part of The Specials Box Set. |
“The Next Doctor” will be on Blu-Ray in the Specials Collection. They’ve upconverted the original 576i to 1080i and slapped it on a Blu-Ray.
Good to know, thanks for the heads-up Steve.
I’m totally cool with them upconverting “The Next Doctor.” Generally I wish they’d do it with all pre-HD Who.
Any word on whether these will finally contain commentaries and full bonus features?
