Doctor Who is back…
It’s been a while since Who fans last saw the announcement for Season 26, but at last, we have confirmation that the next classic Doctor Who season to get ‘The Collection’ treatment is Season 14.
Season 14 is Tom Baker’s third season which ran from 1976-1977 and starred Elisabeth Sladen and Louise Jameson as his companions Sarah Jane Smith and Leela. The latter appears in a typically fun new trailer for the set which can be seen below:
