Season 2 to be the first B&W Blu-ray Set?


Maureen O'Brien and Peter Purves were attending a convention yesterday, and let slip that they had recorded some Extras for a Season 2 Collection box set. We've had to wait ages for a B&W season to be released, despite three of the six being mostly complete. Presumably the delay is due to the extra work such archive material needs to get it up to standard.
This season comprises Planet of Giants, The Dalek Invasion of Earth, The Rescue, The Romans, The Web Planet, The Crusade, The Space Museum, The Chase and The Time Meddler
We have two Dalek stories, two purely historical stories and the first of the "pseudo-historicals" - one which introduced a fellow member of the Doctor's race for the first time (other than Susan, who departs at the end of the second story). Only two episodes are missing from the archives - Parts Two and Four of The Crusade. Audio and telesnaps exist for these, though it may be that they have finally animated them.
Obviously there has been no official announcement. Season 22, which was announced ages ago, is still to get a release date. The same goes for the animated The Abominable Snowmen - announced months ago but no sign of when they are actually going to release it.
Here's hoping that Season 2 will be one of this year's releases.
