A listing for The Savages animation has appeared on the BBC website. I imagine it will be joining the iPlayer line-up shortly.

Circuit Breaker - The Black Archive Files: What's the deal?

I often talk about how much care and attention to detail goes into the Classic Series releases to convince us fans to shell out on something...

The version of Dalek on the Circuit Breaker release has also been fixed. The original take used on the broadcast take of the “You tortured me!” line has been reinstated. As has the correct timing of the “Bad Wolf One” line. Comparison vid here - www.youtube.com/watch?v=rE1m...

Bizarrely the new Circuit Breaker Blu-ray release uses the US broadcast version of The Impossible Astronaut and Day of the Moon, which includes an additional recap sequence just before the titles with a voiceover from Amy Pond recapping the events of Series 5.

Picked up the Blu-ray German release of The Next Doctor. This includes a 5.1 English mix which has fixed the errors present on the UK S1-4 set, containing missing dialogue. It plays at the correct speed as well.

What does the Labour Party and Doctor Who have in common? They both desperately resurrect names from the 00's in order to attempt to be popular again and fails miserably.

Just WOW! The thing that really shines through in these episodes is the Direction of Douglas Camfield. Every shot is crafted so meticulously. These feel like era defining episodes. Adrienne Hill gets to shine properly. Thank you @filmisfabulous.bsky.social

Quick iPlayer tip. If you want save time finding the episode tomorrow, watch the end of Galaxy 4: The Exploding Planet (animated) until the play next episode button appears and then exit. The next episode currently in the system is Day of Armageddon, but that should change…

EXCLUSIVE - AI Enhanced Doctor Who The Daleks' Master Plan coming to iPlayer. Quote from iPlayer Press Officer Ida Vilmcann: "We know how much fans love AI and Easter Eggs, so to celebrate the missing episodes coming back, we thought we would combine the two."

Great post Matthew. It truly is such a shame to see them take this route when their restoration work on previous sets really shines and speaks for itself! Here’s to hoping the BBC can resolve this for the sets that have been infected with it, as well as future sets

Thinking about how to the release The Daleks' Master Plan physically, I like the ideas a few people had of splitting the release in two and only animating the missing episodes. This is how I think a release like that could look.

In 1981 Doctor Who Magazine published the first comprehensive inventory of the BBC's archive, listing which Doctor Who episodes existed and were missing. 45 years on, 41 episodes have been returned to the archives. Here's a recreation of that list followed by how it stands in 2026.

Some notes about the War Between Blu-Ray ♦️- It’s locked to Region B ♦️- The full Whoniverse ident plays before each episode ♦️ - There is an error on The Sea Devils where the subtitles are forced on. Only way to force them off is if you have the option on the players’ settings.

Judging by disc count, I believe the Steelbook version of The TV Movie is the only 4K release that includes the Blu-ray version of the film. The standard 4K release is only 2 discs as opposed to 3.

Finished all 25 Bond films (plus Never Say Never Again) today. It's been a blast & I have really enjoyed it. Here's my ratings for every EON film. I've retroactively given From Russia with Love a bonus point as I now have better context for my ratings. Hurry up an make a new one.

The new Royal Mail alternate days for second class post sucks. Makes it a real postcode lottery as to whether you get DWM on the Wednesday or not. It appears I’m in the wrong week now. I’m so desperate to see the Season 21 disc breakdown.

If you are unhappy with use of AI upscaling on Doctor Who The Collection, it might be worth dropping a polite email to DVDenquiryline@bbc.com . Especially whilst there may be time to make changes before Season 21 is released.
