No actually, because Series 13 WAS a 13th Doctor series!!!
Aww!! O.K., I'll let you have that (New Series 13 v Classic
13!!) .... but I still think there was a mix-up there!!

I am of the opinion that most of these people who object,

them anyway!
It's virtue signalling in a way... Hey! Look at me I am refusing

If only RTD had just gone with "2005 season", "2006 season",
"2007 season" (etc.) life would have been so much simpler...
but no, he just had to go and be a clever bastard didn't he?
In hindsight, I think RTD tries too hard to be clever and just
ends up making a mess of things... keeping it simple is clearly
NOT his motto.

I have tons of Doctor Who stories on VHS which I bought and paid for.
When is the BBC going to upgrade them to Blu-Ray?

"Doctor Who" will never die whilst the fans keep it alive... so
while I am breathing I will collect the BBC Blu-ray's and listen
to the Big Finish audios until the show returns to our TV
screens... and if it turns out that I have outgrown the modern
version of the show - whenever it does come back, I will just put
a 3rd/4th Doctor Blu-ray into the machine and carry on watching
my favourite episodes until the light goes dim and I know no
more.

They won't upgrade your VHS tapes, but they have upgraded the
stories, hence "The Collection" Blu-ray range... the new stuff
they have added is usually quite good too, "Behind the Sofa" and
the new interviews especially. (Tom Baker is looking very old in
that bit in the trailer for the Blu-ray that I posted. It'll
likely be the last word on those days from him!)

RTD has nothing to do with the "Doctor Who: The Collection"
Blu-ray range and he had nothing to do with any of those stories
either, so that is a lame argument. Not being able to play
Blu-rays is a good enough reason though.

A fan promoting "Doctor Who" here should be what this place is
about, especially during the quiet periods when the show is
off-air. I mean, this is a Doctor Who newsgroup after all, so
people here should - in theory - be like minded and have some
interest. The fact you don't is irrelevant.
Plus, Season 13 is one of the best seasons of Doctor Who out
there... really. If there's any Doctor Who classic era box set
worth the fifty quid - this is it!

Speak to my children... they're the ones that will be shoving me

my Doctor Who DVDs/Blu-rays and CD's by then though... so we'll
probably have to watch those classic Doctor Who episodes via a
stream to an implant in our brain, or something...

I regret giving up my VHS copies of Red Dwarf. I'll never be
able to see "Parallel Universe" properly again.
The original version is still on there in episodic form
but who knows what they've done to it.
The VHS version is in movie format without any breaks
I think.

Of course, you need to keep them... and something to play them
on too... :-)

Exactly. I had no way to play them. I figured I'd probably
never own a VHS player again.
VHS isn't a great format for permanence anyway. Tape distorts
after enough viewings. A multi-tiered approach may be ideal.
Watch party for Genesis of the Daleks still going on, BTW, if
you're free.

It is a good job I already have the story on VHS.
Oh boy. If they're pulling that, hard copies are the only way to go.

those either, but I'm not going to buy any new
merchandise unless RTD goes and the Timeless Child
monster is removed from canon.
RTD has nothing to do with the "Doctor Who: The Collection"
Think again.
I don't need to think again. I read the article that I posted
a link to here two days ago... did you?
I know what the extras are, but they are just that, extras. The
decision to include the 75 min 2024 edit of "Pyramids of Mars"
was made for the completionists. It hasn't replaced the
original broadcast version.
There's an omnibus version of "Pyramid of Mars" also included in
the set, and that doesn't replace the original four-episode
broadcast version of the story either. That's what these Blu-ray
sets do, they try to include as much as they can as bonus
features.
Yes, RTD is responsible for one of the bonus features, so
"nothing" was not 100% correct... sue me!
Blu-ray range and he had nothing to do with any of those
stories either, so that is a lame argument. Not being able
to play Blu-rays is a good enough reason though.
Totally wrong. Have you read the Radio Time article on it?
As I said, I am aware of what the extras on the Season 13 set
are. I posted a link to the original article announcing the
release remember? (Which clearly you didn't actually read or
you would have known it wasn't Jodie's Series 13!)
The original episodes from 1975 are the main feature of the
"Season 13" set, obviously, as they are what constitute Season
13... and RTD had nothing to do with them. People wouldn't buy
or not buy a Blu-ray set because of an extra thrown in on a
bonus disc. Well, unless they were the sort of person that had a
tiny mind!
Fortunately for you, if you can't play Blu-ray discs you won't
have to make that decision.
Plus, Season 13 is one of the best seasons of Doctor Who out
there... really. If there's any Doctor Who classic era box
set worth the fifty quid - this is it!
Not any longer it isn't after it appears that Pyramids of Mars
has been re-cut to include Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson. It
looks like I was right after all.
<face palm> The "Tales of the Tardis: Pyramids of Mars" edit was
broadcast on BBC Four and is on the BBC iPlayer, so of course it
was going to be thrown in as an 'extra'. It's only an hour or so
long and it is not the actual four-episode broadcast story. It
is not a part of Season 13... it is just a bonus feature.
Nobody is forcing an extra thrown in as a bonus down anyone's
throats...
It is a good job I already have the story on VHS.
You can't play Blu-ray discs anyway, so your moans are
irrelevant.
I do have the old BBC "Pyramids of Mars" DVD if you want it
though? I won't need it anymore obviously. So I'll send it to
you free of charge... that can be your back-up! Just say the
word.

Physical copies of TV shows you like are always the way to go...
they're yours. You can watch them whenever you want to, no
subscription fee or internet required.

I haven't had a VHS player in years. (Decades?) I do still
have a handful of the BBC Doctor Who VHS tapes in a box
in the loft. I sold/traded/gave away the rest. Nobody wants VHS
tapes anymore so what's left will stay left.

I've moved my main collecting on to the Blu-rays as I have a
good Sony Blu-ray player and a decent-ish TV. How long they will
last for though is anyone's guess... I'm hoping they outlive me!

The football is on... Real Madrid v Dortmund.
I could probably do "Genesis of the Daleks" scene by scene in my--
head anyway... I've seen it that many times. A classic! Hope ye
are all enjoying it.

Yes. And that - the omnibus version - is on the set too. (As an
extra!)
