Still no confirmation on when in November The Waters of Mars will air, but a box set of the Tennant specials will be released on January 11th.

Oh damn!

I thought this might be the date for Celebrity Big Brother!!!



I watched this year's UKBB and was HOOKED!!!!

Too bad it was cancelled and '10 will be the final year.

It would be cool if the box set contained Dreamland as well, but I highly doubt that will be the case. Even still, I'll be picking the set up!

 

[Lonemagpie]

Heh, I knew I was right not to pick up TND and PotD yet...

 

[Cutter John]

Guess its a solo release for Dreamland then.

 

[Tomalak]

I noticed there's a blu-ray box as well. Was The Next Doctor HD then?

 

[Worf2DS9]

Heh, I knew I was right not to pick up TND and PotD yet...

Indeed! Hopefully the R1 release will be on or around the same day.

The Doctor Who news page says the release is only of Waters of Mars and the finale two. No mention that it's a "Complete Specials" box set. And I can't find any official word from BBC Video -- if someone can find an announcement, please post it.

I'd take this with a grain of salt until the BBC announces it officially. I nearly found myself ordering a Region 1 box set of Merlin season 1 until I found out it was a bootleg.

The Jan. 11 date IS the date announced for Waters of Mars/End of Time per DWNP, however (though still subject to change by 2 Entertain):

All that said, I hope it's a full set. And I don't care about the DVD vs Blu-Ray prejudice - I want it to be a complete set so I hope The Next Doctor and the Doctor Who Proms (featuring the Music of the Spheres mini-episode) is included as well. Along with whatever mini-episode surprise Davies has been hinting at.

It's two separate things - Jan 11th is the street date for WoM and the finale, as single releases. It's also the apparent date for the 5-specials boxed set which we knew was coming (because we know DT recorded video diaries for POTD which weren't on the single release) - though I wouldn't be surprised to see the set pushed back a month or so, to give the gullible time to buy the vanilla releases.

What is Dreamland?

Upcoming animated DW adventure.

I had to Google it to find out myself.
