According to several on-line retail sites, the early part of 2010 will see a bumper number of Doctor Who DVD releases. The schedule looks very crowded and it is possible one of the listed releases has been delayed until later in the year, but retailers have yet to catch up.
According to the sites January 4th will see the previously announced Peladon box set on sale, to be followed on 1st Feburary by a Myths and Legends box set. No details are available for this set, but it has long rumoured to consist of the Third Doctor story The Time Monster, and the Fourth Doctor stories Underworld and The Horns of Nimon. The Time Monster was first shown in 1972 and features Katy Manning and Roger Delgado. Underworld was shown in 1978 and features Louise Jameson and John Leeson, as well as Alan Lake, while Horns of Nimon was shown over the New Year period of 1979/1980 and features Lalla Ward and David Brierly as K9, with an appearance by Janet Ellis.
One week later, the Fourth Doctor story The Masque of Mandragora is scheduled for release on 8th February. This story was first shown in 1976 and features Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith.
The Seventh Doctor's first story, Time and the Rani, is due for release on 1st March. As well as being Sylvester McCoy's first story, this 1987 adventure features Bonnie Langford as Mel and Kate O'Mara as The Rani.
Finally, fans of the new series will see a release of final three episodes of David Tennant's reign as the Doctor when The Waters of Mars and the two Christmas Specials are released on both DVD and BluRay on 11th January.
All dates are subject to conformation by 2-entertain and are subject to change.

Thanks for the various headups.
I finished the two stories and the extras. Letts is physically diminished and has no hair at all: it's rather morbid to witness his terminal condition.
I am now listening to the audio commentary of "Frontier in Space": as entertaining as the episodes—Terrance Dicks is a fun guy.
I am impatient to listen to Prentiss Hancock on "Planet of the Daleks".

> At the end of March (not February as some online DVD sites suggest) the Myths and Legends box-set is pencilled in,
> and will include The Time Monster, The Horns of Nimon and Underworld, featuring both the 3rd and 4th Doctors.
> The box-set will be priced at £49.99.
The fool: why do they blend Pertwee with another doctor?
I hope the US edition will have the three serials in separate cases as for "Doctor Who and the Silurians" that originally belong to UK box set "Beneath the Surface".

Steve Roberts of the DVD Restoration team has been giving details of the processes involved in returning colour to Doctor Who stories which currently only exist in black and white. Speaking at an event sponsored by the Doctor Who Information Network. Roberts talked about work being done on the Mind of Evil as well as discussing future plans for the classic range with all complete stories due for release by November 2013, the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who. He confirmed there are no plans for any further animated restorations of lost episodes, nor any plans to issue any more partial stories.

Next stop is the autobiography of Barry Letts and then in 2010: "Peladon Tales" box set.
I wonder how can I get "The Time Monster" without the fourth season serials?
Let's hope they will release it in R1 without them. It means 2011.
