Dalek War in October

Posted: 06 Aug 2009 11:25 AM PDT

The Dalek War Box set, featuring the third Doctor stories Frontier in Space and Planet of the Daleks, will be released in the UK on the 5th October.

The release was originally expected in December, but it is understood a slot became available in October when the release of Torchwood - Children of Earth was moved to a release date immediately after transmission.

Details of the extras included in the release are posted here.

It is not know whether another release will take the slot now available on 28th December. A trail has recently been classified for the release of the fifth Doctor stories, The Kings Demons and Planet of Fire, indicating a Kamelion box set could be on the way.
