I have bought several of the the previous series on DVD. For series 7, I havn't seen a complete box set on sale. With 5 and 6 they would release a series as part 1, 2 then 3, before releasing the entire series in one box set loaded with extras. I like to buy the most comprehensive version available, with all the extras and commentaries.
Anyone know if this will happen, will they they release series 7 complete?

Can't say all this as an absolute fact though.
What's the bad news?
If you want to have all the episodes in your collection for completeness, you have to buy this sub-standard episode on its own...
Is that set in stone? If so it's a bad move, if you ask me, regardless of the (arguably) poor quality of the episode.
They seem to have lost all direction with complete series, never mind the accompanying box sets, lol. I agree though, it *should* include TDTWATW but it seems very unlikely it will.
Are we going to get any documentaries about the making of these episodes? I'd very much like to see how The Name of the Doctor was filmed. Also Nightmare In Silver would be great to see being filmed, as would The Angels Take Manhattan.
I know Doctor Who Confidential had been axed nearly two years ago, but it would still be nice to have small clips on the DVD set about how each episode was made.
DWC was one of the reasons why I got the complete box sets. I thoroughly enjoyed going through each 10-15 min 'Condidential' episode whilst lying in bed, relaxing at night before sleeping. Doesn't seem much point now.
Plus, The Doctor, Widow and the Wardrobe, I thought was brilliant! Claire Skinner was great as Madge Arwell. And the scene with Alexander Armstrong going through the vortex was emotional. I'm starting to get weepy just thinking about it.
I loved it too. I think the perceived quality or popularity of an episode shouldn't affect whether its in a box set. I don't suppose that's actually anything to do with it not being included. It does seem pretty strange though!
DWATW isnt bad at all. It's just fashionable to dislike it 'cause it's not as action packed or as consequential as other episodes. I always find it a delight to watch. Some stories don't need to be full of angst and weight, there's a good message in that story.
Better than the Feast of Steven anyday
No, sorry in my opinion it was awful, but I have bought the blu ray on amazon for £6 free p&p to make up the collection.
I'm not remotely unemotional (I cried buckets at River's farewell in The Name of the Doctor). But the sort of emotion displayed in The Doctor in Narnia was the sickly sort.
Madge is so clever and can manipulate the Time Vortex just because she's a woman and a mother? Per-lease. Pass me the sick bag.
It was acted so badly as well, and Bill Bailey was wasted.
And how did the husband get away with stealing a Lancaster bomber and landing it on the lawn? "AWOL" springs to mind. Shot for cowardice probably.
It was all so twee - "humany-wumany"?! What was Moffat on? Whatever it was, he seems mercifully to have given it up since.
The last bit with the Ponds was fine - but I could have done without Madge's telling the Doctor to go and see them in that faux-sweet/stern voice.
99% revolting.
I didn't like it, in other words.
^This.
And didn't The Doctor fall from space onto the Earth's surface at the start? That's ridiculous, even by Doctor Who standards.
Not to mention the non-ageing kids.
And why on Earth did The Doctor leave that "present" there? Surely it was tempting fate?
*sigh* oh if only the time cracks were real...
Didn't Peter Davidson come about because he regenerated after falling off a broadcast tower? Yet survived a fall from space with a suit that wasn't even on properly...
It was a ridiculous episode yet I bought it for £3 on blu ray at Christmas there, just out of completeness.
He did indeed. I had the same problem with that fall in The End of Time (an even worse episode than TDTWATW, if you ask me), if that fall in Logopolis was enough to force a regeneration then surely these ones should have?
While I agree it was a bit of a silly idea they did actually state in the episode that it was an Impact Suit (ie one designed to protect the wearer from Impacts) rather than just a Space suit.
The 10th Doctor jumping out of a fast moving spaceship and plummeting to Earth (through a glass roof) without any protection whatsoever and then getting up with just a few scratches was far more silly.
I tend to agree ... though I'll never be able to verify it visually.
