According to several on-line retail sites, the early part of 2010 will see a bumper number of Doctor Who DVD releases. The schedule looks very crowded and it is possible one of the listed releases has been delayed until later in the year, but retailers have yet to catch up.

According to the sites January 4th will see the previously announced Peladon box set on sale, to be followed on 1st Feburary by a Myths and Legends box set. No details are available for this set, but it has long rumoured to consist of the Third Doctor story The Time Monster, and the Fourth Doctor stories Underworld and The Horns of Nimon. The Time Monster was first shown in 1972 and features Katy Manning and Roger Delgardo. Underworld was shown in 1978 and features Louise Jameson and John Leeson, as well as Alan Lake, while Horns of Nimon was shown over the New Year period of 1979/1980 and features Lalla Ward and David Brierly as K9, with an appearance by Janet Ellis.

One week later, the Fourth Doctor story The Masque of Mandragora is scheduled for release on 8th February. This story was first shown in 1976 and features Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith.

The Seventh Doctor's first story, Time and the Rani, is due for release on 1st March. As well as being Sylvester McCoy's first story, this 1987 adventure features Bonnie Langford as Mel and Kate O'Mara as The Rani.

Finally, fans of the new series will see a release of final three episodes of David Tennant's reign as the Doctor when The Waters of Mars and the two Christmas Specials are released on both DVD and BluRay on 11th January.

All dates are subject to conformation by 2-entertain and are subject to change.

Call To Arms

Getting on the Radio Times cover is a pretty big deal for TV shows. It's one of the most eagerly snapped-up publications in the country and over the past few years, the magazine has set the standard for what British TV guides should look like. The closest it's come to featuring SJA on its cover was the Comic Relief special issue earlier this year, but even then it only Ronnie Corbett and not Elisabeth Sladen herself smiling back at us...

So when I woke up this morning and heard that the Doctor and Sarah Jane were going to feature on the next Radio Times cover to promote The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith, and that cover got pulled - I was pretty darn peeved. As I'm sure most of you would be, too. All is not lost however; according to Joseph Dilworth of Pop Culture Zoo. A recent post on his Twitter instructs us to:

"Email Radio Times at radio.times@bbc.co.uk and demand that 10th Doctor and Sarah Jane appear on the cover as originally planned!"

Is it really that simple? Well there's only one way to find out! Get emailin' folks! Not short messages either, but good-sized ones that show your passion. Who knows, perhaps they'll change their mind? In the meantime, check out the Radio Times website for cool new images of future SJA baddies. *squee!*


Don't they look GAW-JUS?!
