Reddit reviews Doctor Who: Tom Baker Complete First Season [Blu-ray]

So they have only recently begun to release complete season sets for older Doctors. There's one for the Fourth Doctor's first season, https://www.amazon.com/Doctor-Who-Complete-Season-Blu-ray/dp/B079PT1N7W, and one for the Fifth Doctor's first season, https://www.amazon.com/Doctor-Who-Davison-Complete-Blu-ray/dp/B07GJ397JH/.


There aren't full complete season sets for all of the previous Doctors, so you'd have to hunt down individual DVDs.

Only six complete season sets have been released, but the BBC is currently in the process of releasing a new Blu-ray season box set every few months. Here are the complete seasons that have been released so far:

Season 10 (Blu-ray; pre-order)

Season 12 (Blu-ray)

Season 16 (DVD)

Season 18 (Blu-ray)

Season 19 (Blu-ray)

Season 23 (DVD; out of print in US)

First off, PSA for any of you UK fans that need Season 12 and have a region free player (a Playstation 4 also works) Amazon in America still has it in stock, currently on sale for about $37. It’s our boring American packaging, but it comes with all most of the extras, you’re only missing the “Doctor Who Times” special.

Secondly, has anyone else listened to Big Finish’s Space: 1999 release yet? I thought it was really good, aside from the Australian guy’s accent dropping on occasion.

Well I don't know where you're looking, but you're clearly looking the wrong places. Stores like HMV and Barnes and Noble have them. I've seen them here in Canada at Sunrise Records (which used to be HMV).

Season 12

[Season 19](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GJ397JH?aaxitk=Jgx53MOwOjcEnZo6kjuV3A&pd_rd_i=B07GJ397JH&pf_rd_p=3fade48a-e699-4c96-bf08-bb772ac0e242&hsa_cr_id=9996827840201&sb-ci-n=productDescription&sb-ci-v=Doctor%20Who%3A%20Peter%20Davison%20S1%20(BD)

Season 18

Season 10

These versions are all only available in North America, the key differences being the packaging is very basic and they're called, for example, "Tom Baker Season 1" instead of Season 12.

There's a page for it on US Amazon.

It’s up to you. I know the NTSC conversions on the Region 1 DVDs are criticized a lot (the R2 DVDs have better picture quality but that might depend on your player and TV setup). It’s worth mentioning that a lot of the Region 2 DVDs are also, if not already, going out of print

If you’re into starting a collection I’d keep an eye out and try to get the Region 1 Blu Ray sets as they come out. Which picture-wise look the same as the Region 2 Blu Rays. If you just want to watch it then I’d highly recommend using BritBox

Edit: looks like there is actually a deal on for that first Tom Baker season https://www.amazon.com/Doctor-Who-Complete-Season-Blu-ray/dp/B079PT1N7W/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1538497759&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=doctor+who+blu+ray&dpPl=1&dpID=51Zd29AB-UL&ref=plSrch

https://www.amazon.com/Doctor-Who-Complete-Season-Blu-ray/dp/B079PT1N7W/ref=sr_1_4?crid=1HE5I0ALBQ20J&keywords=doctor+who+blu+ray&qid=1573922654&sprefix=doctor+who%2Caps%2C378&sr=8-4

Just a quick glance around eBay shows a number of the vanilla versions and US versions for about $50-70 USD. The US version is even still available on Amazon (even though it says "Tom Baker Years Complete Season One" instead of Season 12). You're not going to find the original LE version for cheap, but if you're just looking for the discs themselves, they're not too hard to find.
