Doctor Who DVD collection nears completion in summer 2012

Three classic Doctor Who serials are coming your way soon!

BBC Worldwide have provided confirmation of the release schedule of three classic Doctor Who DVDs this summer!

Featuring the first, second and seventh Doctors, these DVDs will help to fill the glaring holes in your collection. The Krotons, starring Patrick Troughton, comes in early July with The Greatest Show in the Galaxy – a classic filmed in the BBC car park – released later that month. Rounding off the summer comes William Hartnell with the original TARDIS crew in Planet of the Giants. Each of these DVDs comes with a wealth of special features, including commentaries.

We’ll have more detailed information over the next day or so but in the meantime, here are the all important dates:

  • July 2nd: The Krotons, starring Patrick Troughton, Fraser Hines, Wendy Padbury, with the late Philip Madoc
  • July 30th: The Greatest Show in the Galaxy, starring Sylvester McCoy, Sophie Aldred.
  • Auguest 20th: Planet of the Giants, starring William Hartnell, William Russell, Jacqueline Hill, Carole Ann Ford.

That’s quite an immense selection of stories as we move ever closer to the complete serials being available on DVD!
