BBC Announces Doctor Who: Series 1-7 Blu-ray Gift Set

There's no better way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who than with the release of Doctor Who: The Complete Series 1-7 Limited Edition Blu-ray Gift Set, available November 5, 2013.

This brand new set includes the complete adventures of Christopher Eccleston's Ninth Doctor and David Tennant's Tenth Doctor, newly remastered in 1080p for the first time ever, as well as those of Matt Smith's Eleventh Doctor. Not only that, but the BBC Home Entertainment team has also fully remastered the complete Tenth Doctor Specials and The Complete Fifth and Sixth Series (previously available on Blu-ray) to full 1080p.

And what's a limited edition release without a few extras? In addition to the hours of bonus content from past collections, this new Gift Set comes packed with 120 minutes of never-before-seen bonus material, as well as the original Doctor Who Universal Remote Control Sonic Screwdriver, a gesture-based remote control replica of the Eleventh Doctor's trusty tool.

Here's the complete list of bonus goodies:

• "The Doctor Who Ultimate List of Lists" from BBC America's The Brit List
• Doctor Who at the Proms 2010, hosted by Doctor Who's own Karen Gillen and Arthur Darvill
• Doctor Who: The Best of the Christmas Specials
• The Doctor Who Universal Remote Control Sonic Screwdriver
• 3 exclusive original art cards
• An exclusive Doctor Who comic book
