Doctor Who: The Collection Season 20 gets its Standard Edition release this September

The next season of Doctor Who: The Collection to arrive in the Standard Edition format is Season 20. The show’s 20th Anniversary year is one of the most epic in its history, and The Collection contains all the action, from the Doctor’s rematch with Omega to the Five Doctors’ quest to the dark heart of Gallifrey itself. Along the way there’s the Black Guardian trilogy in which a cosmic force of evil marks the Doctor for death, the return of the dreaded Kinda, and the Master’s plot to replace King John.

The Standard Edition features all the remastered Blu-ray quality and extensive extras as the previous Limited Edition. However, it comes in a slimmer more compact box and without the former release’s accompanying booklet.

Doctor Who: The Collection – Season 20 Standard Edition is out on the 29th of September.
