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 David Burton (SE Easter Egg) to The Wilderness Years. The UNIT Family could move, but based on the placement of Part Two on The Green Death, this still seems like a likely place for it. The Visual Effects Promo Film could move to a potential Season 7 bonus disc. Proposed moving Doctor Forver! Lost in the Dark Dimension to The Wilderness Years.
