Season 25 will be the next run of episodes to be added to the Doctor Who: The Collection Blu-ray boxset range.
The eight-disc set, starring Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor and Sophie Aldred as Ace, includes Remembrance of the Daleks, The Happiness Patrol, Silver Nemesis, and The Greatest Show in the Galaxy.
The set further features exclusive brand new extended special editions of all four adventures; these come with unseen footage, updated special effects, immersive surround sound, and surprises.
