There’s a rumour going around that that the next Collection set has been delayed until March 2027.

Found another awful AI Doctor Who on TikTok and I can’t get over how it got David Tennant’s face on Eccleston’s body 😂😂😂😂
Tonight’s episode of Coronation Street was dedicated to Kay Patrick who Directed over 250 of the show. In Doctor Who she played Poppaea in The Romans and Flower in The Savages.
A few extras not carried across to the new TV Movie 4K release. ♦️Who Peter: 1989-2009 ♦️Photo Gallery ♦️The Night of the Doctor (included on 2016 release)
Picked up the Blu-ray German release of The Next Doctor. This includes a 5.1 English mix which has fixed the errors present on the UK S1-4 set, containing missing dialogue. It plays at the correct speed as well.
What does the Labour Party and Doctor Who have in common? They both desperately resurrect names from the 00's in order to attempt to be popular again and fails miserably.
Listing for the Blu-Ray of The Black Archive Circuit Breaker up on Amazon. A compilation of 10 stories. Includes Genesis of the Daleks and 9 Nu-Who stories. Comes with a Jo Martin Interview and booklet that is exclusive.
Just WOW! The thing that really shines through in these episodes is the Direction of Douglas Camfield. Every shot is crafted so meticulously. These feel like era defining episodes. Adrienne Hill gets to shine properly. Thank you @filmisfabulous.bsky.social
Quick iPlayer tip. If you want save time finding the episode tomorrow, watch the end of Galaxy 4: The Exploding Planet (animated) until the play next episode button appears and then exit. The next episode currently in the system is Day of Armageddon, but that should change…
EXCLUSIVE - AI Enhanced Doctor Who The Daleks' Master Plan coming to iPlayer. Quote from iPlayer Press Officer Ida Vilmcann: "We know how much fans love AI and Easter Eggs, so to celebrate the missing episodes coming back, we thought we would combine the two."
I can’t believe anyone at BBC Studios thinks this is acceptable
Great post Matthew. It truly is such a shame to see them take this route when their restoration work on previous sets really shines and speaks for itself! Here’s to hoping the BBC can resolve this for the sets that have been infected with it, as well as future sets
It's also worth 👉politely👈 e-mailing BBC Studios to express your disappoint. I have two e-mails for them. DVDEnquiry@BBC.com dvdsupport@bbc.com

Thinking about how to the release The Daleks' Master Plan physically, I like the ideas a few people had of splitting the release in two and only animating the missing episodes. This is how I think a release like that could look.
In 1981 Doctor Who Magazine published the first comprehensive inventory of the BBC's archive, listing which Doctor Who episodes existed and were missing. 45 years on, 41 episodes have been returned to the archives. Here's a recreation of that list followed by how it stands in 2026.
There’s a great video by Paul Masters on YouTube where he talks about his memories of watching Rose being filmed in 2004. With photos and video from filming. Very interesting and worth watching. youtu.be/6iHgy1rimf0?...

Some notes about the War Between Blu-Ray ♦️- It’s locked to Region B ♦️- The full Whoniverse ident plays before each episode ♦️ - There is an error on The Sea Devils where the subtitles are forced on. Only way to force them off is if you have the option on the players’ settings.
Judging by disc count, I believe the Steelbook version of The TV Movie is the only 4K release that includes the Blu-ray version of the film. The standard 4K release is only 2 discs as opposed to 3.
For those who want to understand the different versions of The TV Movie.
The new 4K release of The TV Movie looks incredible! All scanned from the original 35mm negatives. What an achievement
Here we go! The art for total reMaster (see what I did there?) of the wonderful TV Movie! Loved doing the art for this one, Huge thanks to the brilliant @paulvanezis.bsky.social for being so helpful supplying screengrabs and behind the scenes images which haven't seen the light of day for 30 years!
Finished all 25 Bond films (plus Never Say Never Again) today. It's been a blast & I have really enjoyed it. Here's my ratings for every EON film. I've retroactively given From Russia with Love a bonus point as I now have better context for my ratings. Hurry up an make a new one.
Matthew Purchase@thecyberdevil.bsky.social · last yr.Let’s try something different. I’ve always enjoyed the James Bond films but I’ve only seen about half a 8 or so in full and never in order. It’s about time I try watching the films in order properly. From Dr No to No Time to Die. I’ll let you know my thoughts on each one.
I've made a list of all the BBC TV shows where excerpts or full programmes are included as part of The Collection or DVD ranges. So far I counted 86 different titles!
As per usual, here is my list of extras that have been moved from and to Doctor Who The Collection Season 21. Please buy Doctor Who Magazine for the full list of extras and a preview.
The new Royal Mail alternate days for second class post sucks. Makes it a real postcode lottery as to whether you get DWM on the Wednesday or not. It appears I’m in the wrong week now. I’m so desperate to see the Season 21 disc breakdown.
If you are unhappy with use of AI upscaling on Doctor Who The Collection, it might be worth dropping a polite email to DVDenquiryline@bbc.com . Especially whilst there may be time to make changes before Season 21 is released.
