| Hot off the announcement of two new DVD releases for April, we’ll be getting three more classic Doctor Who DVD releases in North America on May 8.
An underrated gem, in our opinion, 1979′s Nightmare of Eden was one of the more tumultuous productions in Doctor Who’s long history, an aspect of which will no doubt be covered in the extensive extras that were cleared by the BBFC just last week. Two Sylvester McCoy stories that will form The Ace Box in the UK will be released separately here. The 1987 story Dragonfire, featuring Sophie Aldred’s debut as Ace, and The Happiness Patrol from 1988, featuring one of the more memorable Who villains, The Kandyman, will also hit the shelves. For more details, including a complete listing of the special features, check out the post at TV Shows On DVD. Each of these single-disc releases will likely have a MSRP of $24.98, but pricing details, artwork, and full details of the DVD extras will be announced at a later date. |
 Christmas has come and gone for another year, and Santa Claus has delivered another Doctor Who special for us all to devour like so much poorly digested turkey. Steven Moffat’s The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe certainly wasn’t the centrepiece of a holiday feast for the Three Who Rule, but more of a side dish of undercooked mashed potatoes that failed to elicit any strong reaction from any of the Three. Even multiple references to that most treasured of classic Who stories, The Caves of Androzani, couldn’t prevent this year’s special from being eclipsed by last year’s momentous A Christmas Carol, mentioned here only to provide this write-up a high note to end on. Here’s another depressing note, though: no more new Doctor Who for about nine months… |

| June 14 sees the next two North American releases of Classic Doctor Who stories, and this time around we get the Peter Davison story Frontios along with Sylvester McCoy’s first outing in Time and the Rani.
Frontios tells the story of a human colony in the far future, and as yet no release date is known for other parts of the world. Time and the Rani introduces the world to Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor as he takes on the dastardly Rani in a DVD released last year in the UK. SRP will be $24.98 each, and in the mean time check out more details at TVShowsOnDVD.com or click on the cover art for larger versions. |
The next batch of North American DVDs has been announced, and March 2, 2010 will see the releases of the Special Edition of Remembrance of the Daleks alongside the much-anticipated Dalek War box set containing the Jon Pertwee stories Frontier in Space and Planet of the Daleks. Both of these titles have already been released in the UK, and of course Planet of the Daleks features the much-anticipated recolourized version of Episode 3 while the Remembrance of the Daleks Special Edition is the version previously found in the UK-only Davros box set from a couple years back. Suggested retail price for Remembrance of the Daleks will be $24.98 while the Dalek War box set will set you back $59.98 at SRP.
