The Collection: Season 21

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.

The Anthony Ainley feature is ageneric retrospective, but featuring memories from the cast and crew of Planet of Fire interviewed for the original DVD, so probably going to remain with this story. Coming Soon: The Dominators is expected on Season 5.
