Yes that's the issue that's been fixed.

The REAL story behind filming Doctor Who's celebrated comeback
The REAL story behind filming Doctor Who's celebrated comeback YouTube video by PaulMasters101

There’s a great video by Paul Masters on YouTube where he talks about his memories of watching Rose being filmed in 2004. With photos and video from filming. Very interesting and worth watching.

Some notes about the War Between Blu-Ray

♦️- It’s locked to Region B
♦️- The full Whoniverse ident plays before each episode
♦️ - There is an error on The Sea Devils where the subtitles are forced on. Only way to force them off is if you have the option on the players’ settings.

Judging by disc count, I believe the Steelbook version of The TV Movie is the only 4K release that includes the Blu-ray version of the film. The standard 4K release is only 2 discs as opposed to 3.

The new 4K release of The TV Movie looks incredible! All scanned from the original 35mm negatives. What an achievement

Here we go! The art for total reMaster (see what I did there?) of the wonderful TV Movie! Loved doing the art for this one, Huge thanks to the brilliant @paulvanezis.bsky.social for being so helpful supplying screengrabs and behind the scenes images which haven't seen the light of day for 30 years!

Not yet. I believe they care still being worked on.

Finished all 25 Bond films (plus Never Say Never Again) today. It's been a blast & I have really enjoyed it. Here's my ratings for every EON film. I've retroactively given From Russia with Love a bonus point as I now have better context for my ratings. Hurry up an make a new one.

25 - No Time to Die - Went on for far too long and it didn't feel like a Bond film. Giving Bond that commitment changed his character too much. Not sure I understood the villian's motive either. Didn't work for me, but I've sat through worse. 5/10

Yes, I think there's some missing info there.

I've made a list of all the BBC TV shows where excerpts or full programmes are included as part of The Collection or DVD ranges. So far I counted 86 different titles!

I've been keeping track and will certainly be doing that.

As per usual, here is my list of extras that have been moved from and to Doctor Who The Collection Season 21.

Please buy Doctor Who Magazine for the full list of extras and a preview.

I am contemplating it.

Never should have been sold off by the tories. It’s too much of a public service with little alternative.

The new Royal Mail alternate days for second class post sucks. Makes it a real postcode lottery as to whether you get DWM on the Wednesday or not. It appears I’m in the wrong week now.

I’m so desperate to see the Season 21 disc breakdown.

24 - Spectre - This is the first film that feels like a proper follow on and its better for it. Very well Directed and I think it has the best stunts. Craig is very good. I just think it could have done with a more original villain. Probably a little too much going on. 7/10.

23 - Skyfall - First one I ever saw in cinema. A brilliant way to celebrate 50 years.. Brilliantly Directed, superbly acted and the stunts are really good. I like the idea of setting a lot of it in the UK. The plot was simple but effective. Felt like a fusion of old and new. 9/10

Yeah it’s alternating a lot.

22 - Quantum of Solace- Probably the most bored I’ve been watching a Bond film. I think the concept is an interesting one, but the direction feels very off. It doesn’t flow well. Worst Bond song I’ve heard as well. 1.5/10

03.01.2026 15:32 👍 8 🔁 0 💬 4 📌 0

21 - Casino Royale - Such a tonal shift from Die Another Day. Gritty, violent and a lot more serious. Daniel Craig does a very good job in the role. There’s some great stunts. The plot twist genuinely had me fooled. Overall a stark improvement. 7/10

If you are unhappy with use of AI upscaling on Doctor Who The Collection, it might be worth dropping a polite email to DVDenquiryline@bbc.com . Especially whilst there may be time to make changes before Season 21 is released.

I've very quickly produced a list of all Doctor Who related broadcasts over the festive period across BBC TV and Radio. Please let me know if I have missed anything.

20 - Die Another Day - What a mess. Almost steps into the realm of fantasy. Invisible cars, body swapping, ice places and the surfing. I think the casting is pretty strong though. Probably the worst film since Moonraker. 2.5/10
