Doctor Who Season 17 will be the next series to be released as part of The Collection Blu-ray range.

The series includes the fan favourite story, City of Death, and I personally think there’s something here for everyone:

• Destiny Of The Daleks
• City Of Death
• The Creature From The Pit
• Nightmare of Eden
• The Horns Of Nimon
• Shada

(Anyone who doesn’t like Destiny of the Daleks and Nightmare of Eden is just being mean.)

Yes, this set will include Shada, the tale abandoned due to industrial action, and here presented as an updated version, completed with enhanced animation and presented in six episodes for the very first time, alongside the original 1992 VHS and 2017 versions!

Check out David Gooderson’s return as Davros in Risen, a specially shot announcement trailer, written by Pete McTighe (Kerblam!).

These episodes are all newly remastered from the best available sources.
