Tom Baker Blu-rays coming to UK – but a week late
Quick update here: BBC Worldwide has confirmed that there’s been a small delay in the release of the Doctor Who season 12 Blu-ray collection. It’s been put back – for undisclosed reasons – to June 18th 2018. Other than that, as you were…
Previously…
Earlier this year, we reported that in the US, Tom Baker’s first series in Doctor Who was being released on the Blu-ray format. Given that very little classic Who has made it to Blu-ray, this was notable news. But at the time, there were no plans we knew of to bring the release to the UK.
Good news, then. Not only is Doctor Who: The Collection Season 12 arriving on Blu-ray in the UK after all, it’s also got a release date. The set will be available from June 11th 2018, and include a fair wealth of new extra features too. What’s more, the artwork will be the first Doctor Who disc releases to include the brand new Doctor Who branding. Take a look…
As per the listing at Amazon, here’s the full list of extra features too…

Hi Rhys,
Firstly, thank you for your comment to our website, it’s always so welcome to hear from our readers. I know exactly what you mean about the very limited run of the season 12 blu-ray box-set. Although I don’t have any definite information about it’s future release, it does seem likely (at some point), but as to when is anyone’s guess. Once again very many thanks for your comment and keep enjoying the site. If we hear anything re: season 12, of course you’ll read it hear first!
Hi,
I know this has been asked a lot I’m sure, but are able to share any info as to whether a further limited run release for the season 12 blu-ray collection would be released?
I know it was a shorter run initially to test the water as the later collections are still available, and I am gutted to have missed out on this classic series. My shelf at home needs to have these box sets as they do look very smart but if I can’t get this one, then it does limit me on going for the others that are released if I will always have that hole!
Thanks for your help!
