Wow - the BBC and 2|Entertain really let the bomb drop on this one!
(And yes - I know that this only relates to R2 at the moment. But these will be released in the US too)
According to the official BBC page (here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/news/...18/44552.shtml ), The Time Warrior and the Key To Time season are to be released on DVD in the UK by 2Entertain later this year.
First up, on 3 September, is The Time Warrior. Starring Jon Pertwee as the Third Doctor, the story also marks the first appearances of the Sontarans and the timeless Sarah Jane Smith.
According to the BBFC classification site, extras are to likely to include a 30-minute documentary entitled Beginning The End - Making The Time Warrior, as well as a trailer, two Easter Eggs and a photo gallery.
Sixteen new CGI shots have also been created, spanning all four episodes.
Following that on 23 September (although that date is a Sunday) is the long-awaited Region 2 release of The Key To Time. The epic Fourth Doctor six-story box set has been available in America for several years, but only now will it come with the full extras it deserves.
The Key To Time season has already been available on DVD in the USA and Canada for a number of years, although its UK release will include "the full extras it deserves", according to the BBC website.
(And the word on the street is that the special edition Key to Time will also see these shores shortly thereafter that)
And then, the British Board of Film Classification yesterday cleared just over 60 minutes of extras for the DVD of Planet of Evil, although a release date is unknown. The extras, which have a PG rating, include three features entitled Hidden Hinchcliffe, A Darker Side and Planetary Performance - Acting In Doctor Who.
So the UK DVD Release Schedule looks like this:
May 28 2007 - Robot - Tom Baker
June 25 2007 - Series 3, Volume 2
July 9 2007 - Timelash - Colin Baker
July 23 2007 - Series 3, Volume 3
August 6 2007 - Time Flight/Arc of Infinity - Peter Davison
September 3 2007 - The Time Warrior - Jon Pertwee
September 23 2007 - Key to Time - Tom Baker
???? - Planet of Evil - Tom Baker
And while no official announcement yet, presumably the Complete Series hree boxed set will be coming sometime October/November. Talk about Who overload!
