Apparently the same German DVD site which leaked that Season 17 would be released last December is now saying that Season 22 will be released in March - so there's a very good chance that this rumour might be true.
The season consists of six stories, including appearances by Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans and the Master, as well as the introductions of both the Rani and Sil. There's also Patrick Troughton's final appearance as the Doctor. On paper it ought to have been one of the greatest, but...
We have Attack of the Cybermen, Vengeance on Varos, The Mark of the Rani, The Two Doctors, Timelash and Revelation of the Daleks,
I had expected three releases in 2022 - a Peter Davison one, a Tom Baker one and a Jon Pertwee one. I figured that Season 22 would be held back for a bit longer as otherwise there's no more Colin Baker left to release. However, I'd neglected to consider that The Twin Dilemma will be still be waiting for Season 21 to be released. Will it be Season 20 this year, or will they save an anniversary season for an anniversary year?
I had also considered Season 11 the most likely for Pertwee, but then I recalled when posting about Legend of the Sea Devils that 2022 is the 50th anniversary of Season 9 - making it more likely to be that season which is released this year. It would be silly to miss this anniversary, as well as the tie-in of a new Sea Devil story.
I still expect the Tom Baker season to be either 15 or 16 - assuming they're keeping the best (Season 13) 'til last.
Maybe 2022 will see three releases, but they will be Seasons 9, 15/16, and 22.
