New York – July 29, 2013 – BBC Home Entertainment
releases all thirteen blockbuster episodes from the seventh series of the
iconic sci-fi series Doctor Who on Blu-ray and DVD on September 24, 2013. In
addition, the set collects the 2011 and 2012 Christmas Specials, and exciting
bonus features including behind-the-scenes featurettes, “Doctor Who at Comic
Con”, the BBC AMERICA specials “The Companions” and “Doctor Who in the US,” and
more. These latest adventures test the Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) and prove
that even a madman with a box needs help sometimes.
Say farewell to the Ponds all over again. Meet the enigmatic
Clara for the first time - and the second, and the third. Face enemies new and
old, follow the Doctor to the one place he should never go, and learn the
secret to a really great soufflé. With a cliffhanger ending that will leave
fans breathless, this set arrives just in time to catch up before the Doctor
Who 50th Anniversary Special on November 23, and the Doctor’s regeneration in
this year’s Christmas Special.
In The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe, the 2011
Doctor Who Christmas Special, the Doctor proves that sometimes wishes really do
come true when his mysterious gift leads Madge Arwell and her two children to a
magical wintry wonderland. Then, in the first part of series seven, the Ponds
(Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill) make their final voyages with the Doctor.
They save a spaceship full of dinosaurs, don Stetsons in the Wild West and are
even kidnapped by the Doctor's oldest foe. But when they arrive in Manhattan
the Weeping Angels are waiting for them - and the Doctor has to say goodbye to his
companions forever.
The 2012 Christmas special, The Snowmen, brings the
Doctor a new friend (Jenna-Louise Coleman) in Victorian London - but has he
already met her before? And will she be able to pull him from his mourning in
time to save London from the chilling menace that threatens it? The final eight
episodes of series seven see the Doctor and his new companion battle monsters
on distant alien planets, become trapped in a Russian submarine with a deadly
passenger, chase terrifying ghosts, and come face-to-face with an army of
upgraded Cybermen. When his friends are kidnapped, the Doctor and Clara are
forced to visit the fields of Trenzalore, where the question that must never be
answered is finally asked… and the Doctor uncovers the secret of the Impossible
Girl.

For the first time since the 4th season I will be buying Doctor Who, the current series. This will also be the first time I buy it on Blu-ray - once the price comes down a bit that is.
