David Tennant’s final ‘Doctor Who’ episodes are set for a limited edition re-release.
The excited new Blue-ray Steelbook set – which is available now for pre-order from Amazon and will be released on September 2 – will have fresh artwork and special features alongside the five episodes which bridged the gap between the fourth and fifth series of the sci-fi favourite between 2008 and 2010.
‘The Next Doctor’ sees the 10th Time Lord meeting a mysterious figure – played by Neil Morrissey – who claims to be the Doctor’s future self, while ‘Planet of the Dead’ sees Tennant’s iteration transported to a desert world alongside cat burglar Lady Christina de Souza (Michelle Ryan) and a London bus.
Also featured in the set is ‘The Waters of Mars’ as the Doctor battles alien zombies, and both parts of ‘The End of Time’ see the character facing his old foe The Master (John Simm).
Special features in the collection included commentary from the cast and crew, an exclusive video diary from David, deleted scenes, and a batch of episodes from companion series ‘Doctor Who Confidential’, ‘Doctor Who at the Proms’ and ‘Doctor Who at Comic Con’.
The set will also include a bonus disc features animated stories ‘The Infinite Quest’ and ‘Dreamland’.
Meanwhile, earlier this week it was reported current Time Lord Jodie Whittaker could return to the small screen before the end of the year.
According to RadioTimes.com, the BBC is looking to air a standalone special before series 12 airs "early" in 2020.
It’s not yet known if the episode will be a festival tale or a separate story avoiding the seasonal themes.
