There are only two UNIT stories in season nine, not three... Day of the Daleks and Time Monster. I know The Sea Devils feels somewhat like a UNIT story, due to the involvement of the Royal Navy. But none of the UNIT regulars (besides the Doctor and Jo) appear in that story.
Halfway! This will be the 13th season they release in this collection, and there's 13 left to go! It's taken about 5 years, so presumably another 5 to go. I would LOVE if they could then continue it with the 90s movie, and even go into the 2005 run. If it really takes until 2028 to finish the original 26 seasons, 9th Doctor will have been 23 years ago. Firmly in the nostalgia era by then, ideal for a re-release!
I have been expecting Season 21 to bookend Peter Davison, the only colour Doctor who has had only one set. And with The Twin Dilemma Colin would be complete (there was a great deal of consternation on this on Amazon reviews). Not to mention The Caves of Androzani.
Ever so slightly too late to be a 23rd birthday present. 😔 (Just two days!) Always looking forward to the new sets, and definitely so with this one (though they will be fairly fresh in my memory as I only watched them last year for their 50th anniversaries! 🤣). And I imagine it was The Sea Devils that got the 5.1 track because it’s the more popular one of the two where the music survives separately (the other being The Mutants, which I’m hoping gets an isolated score option as the CD doesn’t quite represent all the music as it originally was in the story).
It is getting slightly ridiculous that we’ve only had a single Fifth Doctor release. And it was the second one ever to come out and we haven’t had another since.
I remember The Time Monster draaaaaagged, then had a very abrupt ending. The Mutants I have trouble recalling, but I don't mind re-evaluating both, not at all.
The trailer was excellent, but I was a little disappointed by the cover art this time. I don't think purple was the right color for this one - it washes-out the red-green tartan cape (and the red smoking jacket) rather than complimenting it, and a lot of the title sequence-inspired blobs look more gray than purple. Neither of the hands are as convincing as they usually are either, and I don't really like that the Sea Devil's face is covered by his weapon I'll stop my complaining there, though. After all, I'm always happy to see another Pertwee set on Blu-Ray
No new special effects? Disappointing (Time Monster would have greatly benefitted). And there were none on the Season 2 box either. I wonder if they've been able improve the picture quality on Mutants.
Stewart Bevan was in both the Season 8 & Season 10 collections trailers.
Rest in Peace Stewart. xx
Very clever how the Doctors collar on the cover makes a wing shape for Kronos.

it might be a bit longer for season 3 tho
Really enjoyed watching some Pertwee with you last week, can't wait for more! ✨️❤️ He's such a great Doctor ❤️❤️❤️
John Pertwee was the first Doctor I watched. Very scary for a 4-5year old kid.
Toby Hay- (Second syllable of his surname rhymes with Coke)
I’m happy with season 9, Really good. I’ll preordering sometime soon.

Happy Birthday Dude!
I’m hoping the next classic Who season to be released is the 20th season with Peter Davison
Season 20 will probably be next
Ooo the five doctors right?
Here's hoping!
I'm thinking it will be the last release for 2023 released to tie in with the 40th anniversary of the five doctors first broadcast
i LOVED the trailer!
i hope the bfi shows the curse of peladon!
also i think that the first four parts of the time monster are strong but after that it falls apart.
The second disk of Day of the Daleks might be the 90 minute movie format from the VHS release.
I think s20 and a tom or Troughton season this year

I Hope will be Patrick Troughton next and Tom Baker
It's always cool to see new collections coming out, even if they aren't the best seasons in the world
The sea devils and time monster only had one disc on dvd and the mutants was a 2 disc release on dvd
20 Pls 😢

Loved the trailer for this season my only story that I disliked in the third doctors Era was the mutants but the rest are great stories
I believe it’s Toby Had-oh-key
Hadoke. Doke rhymes with coke.
@@thefonzkiss I’m not sure why I put that, because this week … 🙈
@@thefonzkiss I’ll just go ask him to make sure.
@@thefonzkiss he tells me it’s Hay-doke (like coke) 😮
I’ve only been buying the standard releases
I genuinely can’t imagine why anyone would force themselves to wait two years just to have inferior copies of products.
Mutants and Time Monster are both very good. Just drags a bit due to 5 parts. A solid season but I think I liied the previous 2 better.
