Can summer be winding down already? It seems so, and along with Torchwood: Miracle Day hitting the halfway mark in its run with another bang up episode (according to the Three Who Rule, who seem to be one of the few Who podcasts out there who are actually enjoying the series), the Summer Classic Commentary Series begins to wind down, as well. This week, Radio Free Skaro’s take on Episodes 1-4 of the 1968-69 epic The Invasion, which may or may not feature the Cybermen. Oh, and the return of new Doctor Who is now less than three weeks away…

October 2011 North America Doctor Who DVD Update

<![CDATA[

A second Doctor Who DVD release has finally been announced for October 11, and interestingly it’s not a classic series story. Rather, it’s a massive new series release – the complete David Tennant years!

This 26-disc release covers all of David Tennant’s tenure as the Doctor, from the Pudsey Cutaway in 2005 to The End of Time Part Two in 2010; included is everything in between, even the animated stories The Infinite Quest and Dreamland.

What doesn’t appear to be here, however, is any new content. Everything in this collection has been released previously, down to the bonus material such as Doctor Who’s Greatest Moments (which in reality was anything but). This set is no doubt designed for folks who’ve held out on buying the Tennant DVDs for whatever reason, or perhaps for fans who have come to the show with Matt Smith and want to bolster their DVD collection in one fell swoop.

This release comes alongside the previously announced Revisitations, 3-disc version of The Talons of Weng-Chiang.

SRP will be a whopping $199.98; check out TVShowsOnDVD.com for more details.

More Torchwood (it’s still good!) and more stats (they’re still numbers!) and more news and a whole lot of blathering about Christopher Bailey’s Snakedance populate this episode of Radio Free Skaro as the Summer Classic Commentary series continues! The lads take a turn at fashion advice as the return of The Mara is talked over and as ever walk the line of decency as the notion of men in dresses gets a thorough investigation. Allons-y!

Following on from the October 3 release in the UK, as recently announced in Radio Free Skaro #264, North America will see the release of the Season 8 story Colony In Space on November 8.

The six-part story will be a single disc release with few extras. The requisite commentary track, this time featuring Graeme Harper among others, will of course be present; additionally, the disc will contain a Behind The Scenes featurette and the usual fare such as a photo gallery, Coming Soon trailer, PDF materials and so on.

As with other recent North American DVD announcements, only the one title has thus far been slated for November. A second title may or may not yet be announced.
