The 60th anniversary specials of Doctor Who are coming to feature-packed DVD and Blu-ray releases in December.
At the time of writing, the first of three Doctor Who 60th anniversary special episodes has been broadcast. They’ve seen David Tennant return to the TARDIS, accompanied by Catherine Tate as Donna Noble.
The three episodes – The Star Beast, Wild Blue Yonder and The Giggle – have also marked Russell T Davies’ return to the showrunner job on Doctor Who. He’s been busy scribbling the new episodes, that have been going out back in a Saturday night slot.
Furthermore, just as when Davies brought Doctor Who back in 2005, we’re getting some feature-packed discs to go with the show. The BBC will be releasing the 60th anniversary specials on DVD and Blu-ray, just in time for Christmas.
The release date, lest you think this is one of the endless modern news stories that refuses to get to the point, is December 18th 2023. Cutting it fine, but Santa won’t mind.
You can find the listing for the DVD here, for the Blu-ray here, and for the limited edition Steelbook Blu-ray here.
Brilliantly, there are extra features in abundance on both the DVD and Blu-ray editions of the release. No matter which you opt for, you’re getting this lot…
