The standard version of season 18 repairs all of the above – you don’t get any of these repairs on the replacement disc programme, barring the sound mistakes on Warrior’s Gate. That’s it. If you want the revised and improved content, you also would need to buy the standard edition. Behind The Sofa - New episodes with actors Colin Baker, Katy Manning, Matthew Waterhouse, Nicola Bryant, June Hudson, Graeme Harper & Mat Irvine A feature-length look at the life and career of Doctor Who’s longest-serving producer, who fought to keep the programme on-air during the 1980s. Contributors include Peter Davison and Colin Baker. I just question, what happens if the standard sets going forwards will be the ‘revised and corrected’ editions when it comes to the actual video/sound content. That swings it for me, that’s the actual product. https://deadline.com/2023/03/doctor-who-spin-off-emerge-jemma-redgrave-russell-t-davies-great-thing-ive-ever-made-1235299996/amp/

BRAND NEW DOCUMENTARIES - Including a feature-length overview of Season 24 - Here’s To The Future, plus The Making Of Delta And The Bannermen. What I’m saying is that I believe fans want one single Collection set of Doctor Who, have confidence to invest into the main product, knowing it is the best content. For me, that’s having confidence that, even if I get spelling errors or picture / sound blips, at least I could have access to reprint discs identical to the later standards. Unfortunately with Season 18, that’s simply not the case, you have to buy both editions. A promotional DVD was released in DWM 544 to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the magazine. It featured shortened cuts of selected bonus material from previous boxsets, as well as an exclusive bonus feature, "Doctor Who: Messages From Space".

Side guide

RARE GEMS FROM THE ARCHIVES - Hours of footage covering the promotion of this season including lots of previously unreleased material.

Including Australian interviews with Peter Davison and Janet Fielding shot during production of this season. The discs were slightly different all simply showing the cover art instead of individualised art per disc, and with a small number of special features absent due to rights issues. Seasons 12, 19 and 18 were originally released with card slipcases, however no slipcase was included with the release of season 10 onward, and reissues of seasons 12, 19 and 18 also did not include slipcases. No booklets or additional physical materials were included with the US release, with the exception of a single double-sided paper listing the special features on each disc included in Seasons 12 and 18. It kind of throws everything including the kitchen sink and pipes, and out of nowhere develops ideas decades ahead of its time.Exclusive New Audio Commentaries - With Tom Baker on episodes of Destiny Of The Daleks and City Of Death, and Lalla Ward & Catherine Schell on City Of Death Stories like Silver Nemesis and Delta & The Bannermen can be considered a laugh, and why not – but my word do they both go hell for leather on entertainment factor. It’s like a shot of decent adrenaline to watch. It just scratches an itch for me that no other era can quite do in the same way.
