Talk:List of Doctor Who audio releases

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Okay, I have not yet added ANY of the 'lost' soundtracks onto this page, nor any of the Big Finish productions or spinoffs, nor anybody else's spinoffs! It's already quite a bit, IMHO. Other Doctor Who fans can feel free to reorganize as you see fit, we may need subarticles after all! Perhaps we'll break into "audio releases of missing doctor who stories" "doctor who soundtracks" "doctor who MP3 discs" "doctor who big finish releases" etc etc. -- JohnDBuell 05:46, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

'Lost' soundtracks were covered in an update this morning. Forgot to log in before adding that section, but have made a couple minor changes since. With the article's new size, I'm really leaning towards giving the Big Finish releases their own page. --JohnDBuell 14:12, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Added release info for The Crusade (May 2005) and Doctor Who Reconstructed (June 2005) from the BBC's online store. The Ice Warriors having a ship date of August is only a guess from Outpost Gallifrey - Ice Warriors was originally scheduled for May and Crusade for August, and supposedly they switched. The Reign of Terror is not yet on any official or unofficial schedules. --JohnDBuell 15:21, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The Ice Warriors has a 1 August ship date, per amazon.co.uk. Still no word on Reign of Terror, which would be the final story with missing video to be released. --JohnDBuell 15:01, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Doctor Who and the Daleks (MP3 CD)

[edit]

Doctor Who and the Daleks is the official BBC Audio title for this MP3 CD. The liner notes do discuss the original book title: Doctor Who (subtitle:) in an exciting adventure with the Daleks (capitalizations from the reproduction of the original cover). It became Doctor Who and the Daleks with a 1973 paperback reprinting, and remained so with a 1975 hardback reprinting. I'm sticking with the official BBC title here, as that's the title they're using for their audio release, that being the topic of the page! :) --JohnDBuell 19:48, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Could have sworn that the cover of the MP3 CD read "in an exciting adventure...". I got confused because OG lists it with the full title. No problem. --khaosworks 19:58, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Real Time and Shada

[edit]

Do we want to include these here? On the one hand, they were commissioned to originally appear on the BBCi website (as it was then known), on the other hand, they were produced and released by Big Finish, NOT BBC Audio. My vote is to have them on the Big Finish page. JohnDBuell 12:16, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps what you can do is put in a line saying that they were produced for BBCi but ultimately released by BF. --khaosworks 13:30, May 7, 2005 (UTC)
Done. -- JohnDBuell 13:48, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Information Wanted

[edit]

If anyone reading this has copies of the earlier "missing soundtrack" releases (pre-1999) or any of the audiobook releases that were incorporated into Tales from the TARDIS vol. 1 & 2, or even the David Banks "History of the Cybermen" tapes, PLEASE feel free to add any information about those original releases. -- JohnDBuell 16:55, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The Reign of Terror

[edit]

I got a reply from Mark Ayres about the CD release of The Reign of Terror. He reiterated that they are committed to seeing it released on CD. No date has been given by the BBC, the Restoration Team, or Amazon.co.uk. Current fan speculation is early 2006, to coincide with "The Beginning" DVD box set. --JohnDBuell | Talk 3 July 2005 18:12 (UTC)

Doctor Who: Travels in Time and Space (boxset)

[edit]

Does anyone have a copy yet? I'm probably going to hold off for a little while, and I might get one after the holiday season (provided amazon doesn't sell out). For our list here though, I'm guessing it would fit in under the Original programmes category, but does anyone know how many discs per story are in the box? --JohnDBuell 01:10, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Photos

[edit]

Added three photographs, representing different releases. I could add another one of the music soundtracks if anyone's interested. --JohnDBuell 21:54, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Split Proposal

[edit]

This list is getting rather long - most of the Soundtrack Releases are already listed in a Doctor Who Soundtrack disambiguation page, which coudl easily be updated to include the information from here, and the audiobook section is getting long, and will get longer, especially as the RNIB seems to be producing more of the new books.

So what I propose is this: List of Doctor Who Audio Dramas, covering the TV soundtracks and radio plays (with a link to the Big Finish list); List of Doctor Who Soundtracks, a conversion of the already exisiting Doctor Who Soundtrack page to include information from here (possibly including related music releases as well); and List of Doctor Who Audiobooks, covering all the released Doctor Who book readings. Any Comments? Etron81 (talk) 15:23, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Like the idea, although for the audiobooks, I'd prefer something else. If they are just novels read by someone, I think we should edit List of Doctor Who novelisations and just add columns like "audiobook - yes/no", "audiobook - read by" and "audiobook - year" and just copy the information there. It makes more sense for those audios anyway. Regards SoWhy 13:00, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
But the audiobooks also cover readings of original novels not on the novelisation list (e.g. the New Series books) I would say that we could note which ones have audiobook versions on the novelisation list, and point the user to the full list of audiobooks Etron81 (talk) 16:35, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a mockup I did in my sandbox for the audiobooks list: User:Etron81/sandbox/List of Doctor Who Audiobooks Etron81 (talk) 02:19, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Here's another mockup I've done for the Music releases: User:Etron81/sandbox/List of Doctor Who Music Releases Etron81 (talk) 01:00, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And oen for the other audio releases: User:Etron81/sandbox/List of Doctor Who Audio ReleasesEtron81 (talk) 19:55, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think your proposed lists are fantastic. Let's do them! Nettyboo (talk) 22:47, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't heard any major objections against them - so I'll clean them up a bit and move them to being real articles soon! Etron81 (talk) 16:30, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Split complete - feel free to clean up anything I may have missed! Etron81 (talk) 18:59, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps?

[edit]

Perhaps we could remove the opening part about the seperation of audiobooks and suondtracks, and then make sections for audiobook and soundtracks in this article which simply list links to the the main articles only?--77.99.230.8 (talk) 20:54, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This list originally had the Soundtracks and audiobooks in it as well and it got rather long and unwieldy (see discussion above). Even if we reformatted the page to just list the releases with links, I feel that it would still be too long Etron81 (talk) 21:32, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
