Any Whovians out there?

I got the entire Season 7 on DVDs for Christmas (squeee!) and now I'd like to see the 50th stuff and I guess they've done the Bye-bye Matt Hello Peter episode already? Is that right? Is that part of the next actual season? Because see, this is so confusing. I went to amazon thinking I'd just find the 50th Anniversary DVD and get it but there are

"Day of the Doctor" is the 50th Anniversary special and it IS out on DVD. "Time of the Doctor" is the Christmas Special that does the regeneration, and won't be out on DVD - but might be for pre-order. There shouldn't be any other new DVD things out there; there aren't on the Canadian Amazon site, anyhow.

If there are, mention them by title, maybe someone can clear things up better.

Christmas Specials are usually ultimately attached to the DVD sets for the season that follows them so in theory you can wait and get the Christmas Special with Series Eight -- but, like the multiple "specials" they did at the end of Tennant's run, the 50th Anniversary special probably won't be.

(If you see things called "Night of the Doctor" or "The Last Day" Those are mini-eps that are preludes to the 50th Anniversary special -- and are on the DVD with the special. Ignore 'em).

Wowzer, THANK you, Lenora! That helps immensely! You're right about the Christmas specials, I'd forgotten that.

EXTRA-special helpful, you! Thanks again! :^D

Wow, thanks for that comprehensive run-down! I'm going to keep that for future reference.

I would like to know why they make it so bloody complicated for poor muddle-heads like me.
