When is Series 4 likely to get a steelbook release?
Also is it likely that steelbook will include the 2009 specials or will they have their own steelbook?
The Specials don't count as Season 4. So I'd expect an extra package for them.
Just the same as the existing blu-ray (and dvd) releases, then. To date, the steelbooks have contained the same discs as the previous blu-ray/dvd release, so have included the Christmas Specials wherever they have been included as part of the original series release. To date, the latest Christmas Special is the only one that is only available as an 'orphan' release. All the others have been included as part of a full season release. In one case - Series 7 - as a result of fan pressure when they were originally planning to release the full series without the preceding year's Christmas Special: "fans had to petition for The Doctor, the Widow, and the Wardrobe to be included in the Complete Series 7 sets".That's gonna mess up the shelf.
Series 1 / Series 2 / Series 3 / Series 4 / David Tennant Specials / Series 5 / etc... xD
God forbid they start doing individual steelbooks for the Christmas Specials...

Just goes to show how little some people who make these decisions really know! You try to warn them - but, no, they know best so you do what they say. Only for them to realise that you were right in the first place! Been there, done that - many times! Lol!Things get curiouser and curiouser. I came across this post on Gally Base about the cover.
"Apparently the artist originally drew the Last of the Time Lords version but was told by BBCWW to change it. She pointed out that would be wrong and that the cover would be derided if she used the End of Time one and was told that the blond hair was "iconic" and that nobody would recognize it as the Master in the LotTL outfit."

Thought they might do that. Still cheaper overall from Zoom,though, with the 10% discount code (SIGNUP10).The price is also down to £24.99, in line with HMV's pricing
Yes that is correct as confirmed here:Amazon seem to have updated the release date to 7th May so I assume this is the new date, they usually seem to be pretty accurate
BBCWW will still find a way to screw it up by enforcing the new logo, mark my words.
Except they now airbrushed out the cool shot of the weeping angel with hands over her eyes.
