The competition opens today and will close at 23.59 on Wed Oct 29*.
Frank Skinner commented, “When they asked me to host this event I was over the moon. Luckily the space-dragon incubation period is such that I was in no real danger. I have so many questions I want to ask and, when we’re all talked out, I’m planning to finish off by crowd-surfing for 10 to 15 minutes, dressed as Chief Engineer Perkins.”

days of the closing date. Unsuccessful applicants will not be contacted.

of the 17th November. The event venue will be disclosed to winners on
their invitation closer to the time.
Given how close the end of series 8 will be to Christmas, and the rumors that JC will be leaving at Christmas, wouldn't it make sense to include the Christmas special with series 8?
Frank Skinner is a hoot! Good luck to all the contestants. Too bad I'm across the pond!
Some takeaways from this announcement:
No DVD exclusive minisodes or prequels this year (so much for Moffat saying he planned to ramp up the minisodes after Night of the Doctor). And I guess this makes it official that the Christmas special is NOT part of Series 8 after all otherwise they'd have waiting until after Christmas for this release (note it's being called Complete so there won't be a post-Christmas double-dip).
Nice to see the Foxes video included, but sad there's no gag reel. Glad to see Earth Conquest included, though.
Does anyone know if last years Christmas episode is included?
Peter Davison???

The Time of the Doctor is not included.
According to US news sites several of these special features are blu ray exclusive, just so you know.
I could not find a link to the DVD launch competition question on doctorwho.tv. Cameron, any chance of adding a direct link or indicating where it is on the site? thx
