The Collection: Season 3

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.

Note that due to the low number of surviving episodes this season, the disc layout could be very different to the proposed one here, with stories perhaps clustered together. We have left them separate for ease of viewing.
