Following the leak on the Canadian BBC Shop site this morning, it was later confirmed that Season 15 (AKA Tom Baker Season 4 for you US readers) is indeed the next Collection Blu-ray boxset to be released.
As usual, on-line sellers only have a placeholder date but it is generally expected to arrive in March.
This is also Leela's only full season, and Louise Jameson features in the brilliant trailer - The Final Battle - in which we learn of Leela's fate as Gallifrey fell during the Time War.
As well as being on the sofa, she also gets the in-depth Matthew Sweet interview treatment.
Horror of Fang Rock gets new VFX and a making-of documentary.
Many of us had hoped that Underworld could have something done about its effects, but to be honest it has some very good model work and it's only the CSO, of which there's a lot, that lets it down.
The Invisible Enemy and The Invasion of Time already had optional new VFX for their DVD releases. Neither Image of the Fendahl nor The Sun Makers (Jameson's favourite story) really needed anything doing in that department.
Unfortunately Fielding is on sofa duty yet again, though this time she and Sarah Sutton are accompanying Colin Baker - the only person who might give her vocal chords a run for their money. Another potentially interesting pairing is Katy Manning and Matthew Waterhouse.
Despite there already being a very good Graham Williams tribute / documentary on a previous release, there's a new one here - it being his very first season in charge.
Tom features in this, but also gets his own separate "Tom Talks" feature.
All that, plus the existing extras ported over from the DVD releases.
