Into The Vortex Of Time | The Doctor Who Blu Ray Box Sets
On Tuesday the 3rd of September, it was to be announced that Season 26 - Sylvester McCoy's final full on series as the seventh doctor and the last season of the classic series of Doctor Who was to be released on Blu Ray. Still expected to be scheduled for release on Monday 23rd December from online retailers.
Season 26 is to be the sixth of these 'Collection limited editon blu ray sets box sets to be released' with an exciting panel of great guest speakers such as designer Lee Binding and Doctor Who enthusiat Toby Hadoke being presented at MCM October Comic Con next weekend to discuss these boxsets in more detail and some more exclusive insights into the effort that goes into making these sets.
In many ways these box sets represent the difinitive collection of perticular seasons of classic who offering brand new, updated and never before seen special effects, new documentaries, and bold artwork. With newly restored picture and sound quality and exciting featurettes that make these sets worth the money, for the fans at least.
But what does the future hold for these box sets? Is Season 26 to be the last set to be released? If that is the case it would round off the collection with a boxset from each doctors era whose episodes are complete.
It is highly unlikely we will get to see a box set from the first six seasons released in this format, given that so many of the episodes within those seasons are still missing.
In 2020, will there be anymore exclusive sets coming? Your guess is as good as mine on that one.
But speaking from a personal perspective, I like to think there are still a couple more sets still due for a release.
Season 11 would be next on my list, Season 25 would be an interesting choice, as would Season 21 or 22, or maybe Season 15?
Rest assured these box sets aim to be everything a fan would want to expect and more, rounding off a definitive collection of that perticular season.
At a highly collectable value, these boxsets certainally do cause engagement amongst the fans until the show comes back onto our television screens some time in the new year.
