Season 13 Gets Blu-ray Release

The BBC has confirmed that Season 13 will form the contents of the next Blu-ray box set.

The season, first broadcast in the UK in 1975 and 1976, was Tom Baker's second season. Together with Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith, it features some of the best-known and highest-regarded stories of the classic era of Doctor Who. 

The eight-disc box set sees the Doctor and Sarah cross time and space to do battle with the Zygons, the biomechanoid Loch Ness monster, the fearsome Sutekh and his robot mummies, vengeful renegade Time Lord Morbius, an anti-matter creature on a distant planet, the scheming Kraals and the terrifying Krynoid.

All episodes have been newly remastered from the best available sources – these classic adventures have never looked or sounded so good on home media. 

The Collection: Season 13 is also jam-packed with hours of new and exclusive material, including:
