I think a double disc for The Time Monster is a strong indication of a fresh restoration, as they gave Colony in Space an extra disc on the S8 set to accommodate the original RSC restoration from the DVD too. The Claws of Axos had space for its RSC restorations to appear on one disc with the newer versions too, but with Peladon having four episode that might reduce our chances of a ground-up restoration there (though one lives in hope!). Since The Sea Devils is also getting the double disc treatment, perhaps they're touching up its first three episodes from scratch instead of Peladon? There are a couple of possibilities... Double Day is hardly surprising, as it got a double DVD release as well. Single Mutants isn't too surprising either, as you can fit the double DVDs' worth of content on a single BR disc. I'm excited to see the Jo Grant era completed on Blu-ray. I'm secretly hoping the next Pertwee set will be Season 7, but I know in my heart that we're probably a long way off that yet. It's probably the best Pertween season though, and the wait has already begun to get agonising While the story with Peladon and Time is that they have more than 1 copy of certain Eps but different bits have been cut from each so maybe Time won the present near as complete edit coin toss to splice footage back in.

Regards mark687 (I think I've understood your comment, but if I've misintpreted then please ignore this probably tangent on what you're actually saying ) I wasn't aware that any of the Pertwee episodes existed in an incomplete form. I know some Hartnell's and Troughton's suffer from censor cuts or print damage, but I'm pretty sure all of the Pertwee eps are completely in tact (sans original colour, obviously). Also, if I've got my facts right, then Peladon is actually the better candidate of the two for splicing in other material. The original film elements for the Doctor and Jo on the cliff in ep 1 and the Doctor's fight with Grun in ep 3 exist for Peladon, while no original film elements exist at at all for Time Monster. At the end of the day though, all of this is just conjecture on my part, based off what official information I can gather. For all I know, original copies of all the episodes could secretly have been discovered and restored for this release! We'll just have to wait and see what's said when the news officially breaks.

Really lovely trailer! And what a great set of new features, looking forward to the Season 9 Locations and Stuart Fell documentary in particular. I was wondering if they’d extend the In Conversation to John Levene, but it seems not; not a complaint, just a thought.

Another lovely promo video. It's always a treat to get more of Katy Manning. I love season 9 and the footage in the trailer looked so crisp. It'll be great to watch through the season again when the set arrives.

In a surprising move, Season 9 (Rather Jon Pertwee Season 3) is available for order on Amazon Canada with a release of June 2023. Hopefully they don't cancel their orders for this release like they have previously.

Just got up to The Chase on the Aus version of the Season 2 set. Considering we got it on the DVD version, I'm appalled that the Beatles scene has been cut from episode one this time around! It seems utterly ridiculous to me that it was cleared for the DVD but was cut for this release! I guess we know for certain now, aussiedoctorwhofan. If I'd known the Aus release was going to be edited, I would have ordered in the UK version! Genuinely angry that it wasn't made clear before release that the Aus version would be incomplete

It might seem silly, but I'm absolutely furious about this. Customers should have been told WELL ahead of time that an edit was being made. We're going to have to wait something like two years for the standard edition of this set to be released in the UK to pick up an unedited copy, because the second hand market copies of the limited edition are lowballing at $150(!) which is just too expensive given the set is $75-$80 brand new in Australia! Sure, we can still watch the unedited version on the DVD, but what kind of range is Doctor Who - The Collection if said collection is incomplete?!

Thanks for the links, but Amazon UK and HMV unfortunately don't ship to Australia, and the cost from Galaxy 4 (with shipping factored in) is sadly the same as the ebay market. $150 just isn't reasonable for what amounts to about a minute's worth of extra footage I'm frustrated it's not included on my copy, but not *that* frustrated, you know?

Restoration (where original Tapes aren't Available) on Season 9 is the US colour recording over layed on the clean Black and white 16mm Film recording then smoothed out, comparison Special Feature available for most Episodes. Cut film bits from Peladon available as it own Special Feature, Sea Devils available with 5.1 and (where equipment capable) Dolby Atmos Sound. Newish Trailers/Continuities on all stories.

Watched Looking for David and the 2 In Conversation Documentary's on the Season 2 Blu-Ray
Looking For David is fascinating and moving, the In Conversations are as good as ever, though they did leave me hoping we will get the implied one with Carol Ann Ford for Season 1.
