Updated: Season 22 Collection on 20th June - Finally!

 
Update: Since posting this earlier this morning, the official BBC FB page is now saying 20th June. I do wish they'd make up their minds...

I suspect that there are some people who have died of old age waiting for this box-set to be released. It was first advertised back in January (I pre-ordered it on 22nd Jan). Finally got an Amazon update message this morning to say that the release date is now 27th June (in the UK at least) - so nearly half a year we've been left waiting.
People really will have died of old age by the time they work their way through all of these releases at the snail's pace they are going. Still 15 to come. Here's hoping that they will pull the finger out for the 60th Anniversary year - and we get some Hartnell and Troughton seasons.

Still no word about when we might see the animated The Abominable Snowmen either. Not even a cover image yet. I suspect an Autumn release - end September or more likely October.

The next DVD / Blu-ray release will be the two most recent Specials packaged together - Eve of the Daleks and Legend of the Sea Devils. This set is out on Monday 23rd May. This means that the Centenary Special will be a release all on its own, unless they re-release Monday's stories as a new box-set at the end of the year. Annoyingly, Revolution of the Daleks is stuck on a disc on its own. I do not understand why it was not included on the Flux box-set.
