How to get Doctor Who’s latest classic series boxset with Sylvester McCoy

As a devoted Doctor Who fan with a soft spot for Sylvester McCoy’s Seventh Doctor era, I am beyond excited about the upcoming release of Doctor Who: The Collection Season 25! Having grown up watching these classic episodes, I can hardly wait to see the remastered versions of McCoy and his companion Ace (Sophie Aldred) in action.


Doctor Who‘s latest classic series boxset features Sylvester McCoy starring in season 25.

The BBC has upgraded the 1988 episodes of “Doctor Who,” featuring the Seventh Doctor played by Sylvester McCoy and his companion Ace, portrayed by Sophie Aldred, for enhanced viewing experience.

Starting on October 21, 2024, Doctor Who: The Collection Season 25 will be officially available for purchase. However, if you’re eager to secure a copy of this limited edition Blu-ray, you can preorder it now from several retailers.

Amazon’s Pre-Order Price Guarantee currently offers the lowest price for this boxset, allowing you to secure it for just £45.82, representing a 17% savings.

As a gamer, I can share that if you’re considering pre-ordering “Doctor Who: The Collection Season 25,” Zavvi has an offer for it at the price of £54.99, although currently sold out and expected to restock soon. Similarly, HMV lists this item at the same RRP.

As a dedicated gamer, I’m thrilled to get my hands on this boxset that houses all four episodes from season 25 of my favorite show. Not only that, but these aren’t just any ordinary episodes! They’ve received Special Edition makeovers with stunningly improved special effects that take my breath away. Plus, there are previously unseen footage that adds new layers to the storyline, making this a must-have for every dedicated fan like me.

In the bonus hours, you’ll find the extended VHS version of ‘Silver Nemesis.’ Here, The Doctor and Ace become entangled in a clash between the Cybermen, a malevolent neo-Nazi faction, and the enigmatic Lady Peinforte during her time-traveling escapades.

In Season 25, there are numerous documentaries offering a peek into the making-of process, in addition to extended audio commentaries from the actors and crew members.

In simpler terms, Season 25 marked the second last set of episodes in the original run of “Doctor Who.” Notably, it included the remarkable serial titled “Remembrance of the Daleks.” This particular story takes us back to the roots of “Doctor Who” by depicting the Daleks’ invasion of Earth in 1963.

Among fans of the show, “The Happiness Patrol” continues to spark debates. Some view it as a beloved campy production, while others strongly dislike its sweet-formed monster.

In the final episode titled “The Greatest Show in the Galaxy,” The Doctor and Ace go to the Psychic Circus. Here, a wicked clown has captured the artists against their will.

Some noteworthy moments are the coming back of Terry Molloy portraying Davros in “Remembrance,” and an unexpected appearance by John Leeson, who voices K9, among the Daleks’ chorus.

In the United Kingdom, you can watch “Doctor Who” on BBC One, while viewers outside of the UK can find it on Disney+. For those with an appetite for classic episodes of “Doctor Who,” BBC iPlayer in the UK offers them as an option.
