New iTunes Doctor Who Content

So iTunes has added a fair deal of Doctor Who content to their US store. Most of the new content is disguised under various collections (such as monsters and samplers for various Doctors). In all, they appear to have added new content from each of first four Doctors as well as the Doctors Revisited specials.

They've also added a 50th anniversary collection, which is apparently where they'll add The Day of the Doctor after it comes out. Since iTunes TV releases are delayed by a day, you can expect it on the 24th. However, the season pass is available now, so you can purchase it and it will be available for download shortly after midnight.

Amazon also has a similar collection here.

These were the first Doctor Who episodes to be filmed in the U.S.

Doctors Revisited Specials Not on iTunes

Apple and BBC America have failed to make the Doctors Revisited specials available to be purchased. The Doctors Revisited specials are a series of eleven episodes airing throughout this year on BBC America in celebration of each of the Doctors. The first episode aired four months ago and the show has still not been made available anywhere, which is an outrage.

I'm requesting that all of my readers use the following link to request the show be made available on the iTunes store. Just click on the link and fill out the form. If you don't know which version of iTunes you have or which operating system, just pick a random one towards the top.

Thank you
