Season 17 Blu-ray Boxset Confirmed

 
A couple of weeks ago I reported that a YouTube vlogger was claiming that Season 17 would be the next Blu-ray box set, to be released on 13th December.
Well, today this was confirmed, including that release date.
As expected, the set does include Shada, but to make things different it has the 2017 animated version split into episodic form (It was feature length only up till now).
Nightmare of Eden has new CGI effects, which is what I had said I would like.
Otherwise we get cleaned up versions of Destiny of the Daleks, City of Death, Creature from the Pit, and The Horns of Nimon.
I expected the Matthew Sweet interview to be with Lalla Ward, but instead it is with Bob Baker. Ward is interviewed elsewhere on the set. There is also another Tom Baker interview, plus an archive convention appearance.
Destiny gets a new making-of documentary (there was only an interview with the director on the DVD).
Creature gets an extended Part Three, if you can bear to watch more of it.
There is also a new appreciation of Douglas Adams. 
Behind the Sofa has a real mixed bag of participants - Colin Baker, Nicola Bryant, Katy Manning, Matthew Waterhouse, June Hudson, Graeme Harper and Mat Irvine. So no Tom or Lalla.
The video advert for the set features a little prequel to Destiny ("Risen", by Pete McTighe), starring David Gooderson as Davros (sounding far better than he did at the time).
I've already pre-ordered - suggest you do the same.
