The Collection: Season 1

This season has not been announced or released; the disc makeup is theoretical based on what we already know of the range. Note that so far all photo galleries have been built for The Collection from scratch; the timings presented here relate to the SD versions on DVD and will likely be incorrect.

TME has resisted the temptation to turn this into an all-encompassing wishlist of bonus feature ideas; the list is restricted to items that have been previously officially released by BBC Studios and its predecessors.

Disc 10: An Adventure in Time and Space
The inclusion of material from An Adventure in Space and Time is very speculative; there are strong arguments for them to appear on discs in the Season 4 set (although that set is already quite overloaded), the Series 7 set, or indeed not at all.
