Doctor Who season 15 comes to Blu-ray, with Horror Of Fang Rock leading the six-story collection. More here.
Never mind the fact that the entirety of Doctor Who – well, save for an episode or two – is available to watch on the BBC’s iPlayer service. There’s also the not-so-small matter of Doctor Who physical media releases, which continue thanks to the genuinely brilliant line of Blu-ray sets.
Next in line? Some Tom Baker magic, thanks to series 15 of Doctor Who becoming the subject of the latest set. This one runs to seven discs, dating all the way back to 1977, and includes the following stories…
HORROR OF FANG ROCK
THE INVISIBLE ENEMY
IMAGE OF THE FENDAHL
THE SUN MAKERS
UNDERWORLD
THE INVASION OF TIME
Tom Baker is accompanied by Louise Jameson’s Leela in these tales, and we also get the introduction of K9 in there too. Plus, of course, Horror Of Fang Rock is bona fide classic Doctor Who, and rightly one of the most highly regarded stories in the show’s history.
And, as is the norm with this sets, a superb collection of extra features too. Here’s just a flavour of them…

There’s a lot more listed too. Helpfully, we don’t actually have a release date as part of the official announcement, but the set has gone up for order. They tend to sell out rather quickly, and you can find the listing for it here.
Hopefully we’ve not got too long to wait for it. Will update this post with a firm date once we have it…
