@@jarnopp oh, that IS the question 😂 story wise, I'll have to agree with you and go for season 14, although 8 is also a personal favourite! Special features, I'd say 23 has some lovely ones, as does 8. And cover wise, I'm loving Lee Bindings recent work as it seems to get more colourful every time, so I'll say 17, but I think it'll soon be 22! 😄
@Custard Timelord Yes indeed - S17 was almost going to be my choice for cover. Love the Doctor's grin! Good choices there, and yes, I suspect S22 will become many people's new favourites!
Have in 2 months time 5 Limited Edition The Collection boxsets. Like the most Season 14 and Season 12. Have now Season 8, 12, 14, 17 and 24. Season 22 is still preorder. Must get Season 10, 18, 19, 23 and 26. Also in 2 months time I have 142 Doctor Who Classic on DVD. Collect now the Doctor Who Demon LP’s. Have Marco Polo and Web Planet on LP.
Howdy Jason. Have a lot of luck with it and hope that my Doctor Who collection would be complete. Like your videos because that makes my collection be interesting. Have a long way to go but the important is to have fun with it.
Having not watched much classic who, I do really appreciate that they were able to rescan old 16mm film for the location footage for Season 19 rather than upscale SD scans. As far as I am aware it's the only set to do so, unless someone can correct me. Lets hope that they're able to track down more location footage for future sets.
Great stuff, Jason. Very nicely balanced between intro, countdown, content, information whilst keeping it bouncing along with your signature jolliness. Personally largely agree with your order too although Trial would be much higher in mine - sweet spot in my life and, you're right, applause for ambition. Also I'm a big Eric Saward fan and of legend Robert Holmes' Mysterious Planet, his poinient penultimate contribution.
Hey there, thanks for watching! Hmm, impossible to say at this point, which set we'll be getting next. 🤔🤔🤔 But which has been your fave set so far? 😊👍🤘
I am so thankful for each of these that I couldn't chose a favourite, however I do have a favourite special feature and that is Doctor Who Times from the Season 12 release. I know copyright prevented this becoming a running series but I just loved seeing the cultural context surrounding the broadcast of that season of Who.
@@jarnopp Yeah, apparently it would have cost too much to clear the rights for all the clips used - which is why that extra was dropped from the US release (from what I recall).
I have all these and I haven't opened them yet! I was waiting for all of them to come out then to watch them in order!! I would say season 19 would be my favourite one because the 5th Doctor is my Doctor!
Unfortunately we here in North America (more specifically for myself Canada) aren't presented with the options of the limited edition sets. For me that's both a positive and negative. Smaller cases take up less space and not presenting and option presents no option of choice which makes the non existent choice of wish to pick easier. Downside the seasons are labeled differently.. like it's stuff like tom baker season 1 Peter Davison season 1 things like that.. annoying but it is what it is.
Hey there Jake, yes, the different titles of the sets are quite odd, aren't they. I wonder why that decision was made. Sorry you don't get the full limited experience, although as you say, pros and cons!
@@jarnopp I feel.. and maybe I'm wrong.. the title change was done because North Americans (at least the older generation perhaps) may not be familiar with the history of doctor who and/ot may be only interested specific doctors.
Well I have to say I agree with you, Season 14 best overall set, Season 26 best VAM and Season 8 best cover art. In terms of overall sets my ranking from best to 10th would be 14, 8, 26, 18, 19, 10, 23, 17, 24, 12
P.S. THANK YOU, JT, because your comment has inspired me to change the headline on my video thumbnail from WHICH BOX SET IS BEST to BATTLE OF THE BOX SETS! Awesome work! 😀👍
Thanks Jason for an excellent video (as always!) I was laughing when you started with season 23, then 24 then 26! Totally agree! Then things start to get trickier, but season 17 for me comes next as it’s not great with three mediocre stories… after that it’s so difficult maybe 8, then 10, with 12, 14, 18 and 19 are all imho just awesome I can’t put one above the other! For cover art though, 12 is the winner as it’s so simple but provocative with Tom’s ‘travel with me’ look. Season 19 cover the runner up!
Great list choice. The staggered releases over the last 2 years has still delivered some great box sets and hopefully this nightmare decade will catch up with itself in the next 2 years.
Thank you! Yes indeed - when you think we've had 10 releases in 3.5 years, with another (presumably) imminent, that's pretty great going from the team!
Mine are 19,12,14,10,8,26,17,18,23,24 that’s from best to worst Didn’t expect this type of video Jason The artwork is stunning on every set When do u think we will hear a date for 22 I really want 20 next as u know Jason
@@jarnopp Artwork for me - Season 14, Extras - Season 26 and overall season, for me personally season 8, absolute classic season and after a day of fun with John Levene I have a soft spot for a Daemon!
Have them all - even the Second Edition of Season 12 (printed on J card) making it 11 releases for me 🤣I keep them mint and play the discs in the standard case releases. Great video as usual 👍👍My favourite is a struggle between seasons 12, 14 and 17. I give in to Season 12 because of Genesis of the Daleks.
Interesting question! I guess it’s partly because DVD is seen as all but dead these days, but also because DVD versions of these sets would require at least twice as many discs in each box.
Ooof, ok I’ll try my best to rank them… 10) Season 23 9) Season 26 8) Season 19 7) Season 18 6) Season 14 5) Season 8 4) Season 10 3) Season 12 2) Season 17 1) Season 24 Season 22 would win if it was out
Great stuff, Mario - thanks for your full ranking list! That is a good effort - and it's nice to see we at least agree on our least favourite Collection set!
Either that, or different people have different opinions. I wonder which it could be. 🤔😀 Thank you for watching, though! And I'd love to hear which of the Collection sets is your own fave. :)
@@jarnopp Different opinions, ok. But that doesn't make Horns of Nimon a good episode. My favourite sets are 8, 12 and 14. And I am most looking forward to 13.
@@Nikioko When it comes to evaluating art, there is no objective good or bad - only opinions. I'm sorry to tell you that your opinion is no more fact than mine. :) Thanks for your own ranking there of the sets! And yes, we can certainly agree that S13 is going to be an absolute killer! :)
I’m at huge Classic Who fan but I agree the classic show should have ended after Peter Davison left. Colin & Sylvester were awesome doctors they just had bad stories for the most part
Hey there Jimmy! That wasn’t what I was saying about Who, that it should have ended after Peter. :) Having said that, that’s when the show practically did end for me, back in the day, as I became a teenager, because I stopped watching. Thanks so much for watching this video, though!

Great video Jason. Season 14 best box set for me. The Liz Sladen doco was brilliant but incredibly sad...
Thank you Heath! And hooray, we have the same first choice. 👍🤘
They missed a trick with the Pertwee sets - they could have included a little phail of Hai Karate aftershave 🙂
Cor yeah, Gary! But there's still time. 😄🤘👍
@@jarnopp "Free gift inside!"
@@garytwinem5275 I like that the interiors of the Collection sets would probably accommodate a small item like that 😄

Thank you! Glad you like - I certainly enjoyed filming it. I filmed myself removing the box sets from the shelf, then reversed the footage. :)
@@jarnopp ah that’s really cleaver I was thinking how did you pull it off so perfect

@@jarnopp 26 because it's my favorite
Then 14
@@thomasstevens2746 Nice choices! :)
@@jarnopp do you think we'll get a 60s set
I'd probably give Season 8 a double win for best box set and artwork for me. Probably biased since, Jon Pertwee is my 2nd favourite Doctor
Hey there, HMT! I can understand your choice - Season 8 is a lovely all-round set.
Tom Baker hands down all time favorite!!
Hooray!
14

Has it only been since 2019? We are so spoiled, aren't we? Great list. I'm too lazy to do a top ten, but my favorite is Season 18.
