Update to DVD release schedule for 2013

Hi all,

I've previously posted about Doctor Who DVD releases for 2013 - you can read that post here.

Since then additional releases and details have been confirmed (all dates are UK release).

  • The newly colour-restored version of the Jon Pertwee serial The Mind of Evil (1971) now has a confirmed release date of the 3rd of June.
  • A special edition of the Peter Davison serial The Visitation (1982) - 6 May
  • Series 7, part 2 (including The Snowmen (2012) - 20 May, with a complete Series 7 Boxset scheduled for release in the UK Autumn (Australian/NZ Spring) 
  • A special edition of the Jon Pertwee serial Inferno (1970) - 27 May
  • Classic Doctor Who hits Blu-Ray on 15 July with the release of Jon Pertwee's debut story Spearhead from Space (1970). Also features the introduction of the Nestene Consciousness and the Autons that featured in Christopher Eccleston's debut story in 2005, Rose
  • A special edition of the John Pertwee serial The Green Death (1973) - 5 August
  • The Patrick Troughton serial The Ice Warriors (1967), the debut story for the Ice Warriors, who have returned to our screens this year. Two of the six episodes are missing from the BBC archives and have been reconstructed using animation, as was done with missing episodes in previously released serials The Reign of Terror (1964) and The Invasion (1968) - 26 August
Here's a preview of the animation:




  • Scream of the Shalka (2003), a flash-animated Doctor Who serial with Richard E. Grant as the voice of an alternative 9th Doctor - 16 September
  • The Tenth Planet (1966), the very first regeneration story and the debut of the Cybermen. The missing fourth episode will be reconstructed using animation. Read more about it here - UK Autumn.
This is in addition to the June 24 release of the Tom Baker serial The Terror of the Zygons (1975) mentioned in the earlier post.
