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.

Proposed moving Remembring Douglas Camfield to The Seeds of Doom, his final work on Doctor Who. Doctor Who Stories: Tom Baker and Elisabeth Sladen Part 2 have already been moved to Seasons 18 and 14 respectively. Proposed moving Coming Soon: The Moonbase to Season 4. The interview with Tom Baker should fit better on Season 18 but was not used there.

Stripped for Action: The Fourth Doctor and Coming Soon: Meglos already moved to Season 18. So What Do You Do Exactly? is a generic feature on Graeme Harper’s work as a Production Assistant, a role he also carried out on Warriors’ Gate – as the feature was not moved to Season 18, we assume it will remain here.
