The third-series of “Doctor Who” could be out on DVD as early as November 2007, according to TV Shows on DVD.
The set is still being worked on and sources at BBC America so there’s not much to report on how many discs it will run or what the extras will be. If it’s anything like the last two sets, this set should be extra-heavy.
There was also no announcement if this release might be a simultaneous release in the U.S. and the U.K., marking only the second time in the “Doctor Who” DVD line this has happened (The previous was Tom Baker’s “City of Death” to tie-in with the release of “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” movie since both are written by Douglas Adams.)
The third-season of “Doctor Who” continues Friday evenings on SCI FI in the United States.
In related “Doctor Who” universe news, the spin-off series “Torchwood” will debut on DVD in the United States on January 8, 2008.
“Torchwood,” is a spin-off series about a secret group that deals with alien incursions on Earth. The first-season of the show was a huge hit in the U.K. and will debut later this year on BBC America in the United States. The series is a bit more adult in content and themes than “Doctor Who” and definitely targeted to a more mature audience.
Another creation from Russell T. Davies, “Torchwood” stars John Barrowman, Eve Myles, Burn Gorman, Naoki Mori, Gareth David-Lloyd and Kai Owen.
