It’s a busy old October for 2|Entertain – not content with providing parents much needed digital media-based sedation for their half-term holidaying off spring and lining the pockets of Ricky Gervais with more The Office-based cash there’s also a raft of new Who to expel cash on.
Up first is the release date for Doctor Who Series Six: Part Two which will be hitting shelves on the 10th October and can already be pre-ordered from Amazon for £15.93
If you like your Doctor Who a little more Pertwee then on the 3rd October take a trip to the Colony in Space – the Third Doctor classic comes with a raft of special features and is also available to pre-order, for just £14.99
.
Finally on the 31st October sees the release of the fourth series of The Sarah Jane Adventures, which included the Doctor, Sarah Jane, Jo Grant summit meeting that was Death of the Doctor.
The special features have yet to be announced but if it doesn’t include a tribute to the late, much missed Elisabeth Sladen then we’d be very surprised.
The set is also available to pre-order from Amazon for just £12.99

I’m not expecting to see any tribute in the SJA Season 4 set – I’ve always assumed it’ll be included with the Season 5 episodes when they’re released later. The trend has been to reduce the number of discs – as a result I don’t think the Season 3 set had any special features. But they’ll most certainly have extra disc space to work with on Season 5. I’m assuming it’ll be the special CBBC aired in April.
Of the Sarah Jane Adventures sets, neither Series 1 nor Series 3 indicates which episodes and extras are on which disks. The Series 2 set does at least have this information on the packaging, although it would be better if it were also on the disks themselves. The omission of this information reduces finding content to guesswork and is discourteous to the customer. The fact that these sets are primarily intended for children does not excuse the discourtesy — if anything, it makes it worse. I hope the Series 4 set (and the Series 5 set, when it comes) will remedy this fault.
The episodes and extras themselves cannot be faulted, however.
