Doctor Who Legacy (Shada) DVD
A double helping of ‘Doctor Who’ treasures. Never aired on television due to a strike in 1979, and never fully completed, the six-part adventure ‘Shada’ traces the chase to recover a powerful book, the Artifacts of Gallifrey, stolen from retired timelord Professor Chronotis (Denis Carey).
Skagra (Christopher Neame) is the evil despot responsible for this foul jiggery pokery. Original footage from this episode was used as the Fourth Doctor’s involvement in ‘The Five Doctors’, before it was reassembled, with an older and portlier Tom Baker narrating the missing gaps.
Also included is the BBC-produced documentary ‘More Than Thirty Years in the Tardis’, a compilation of clips spanning the first thirty years of the Doctor, including some never before seen on television, plus interviews with the many stars, writers, producers and designers.
The following features and quotes (via tv shows on dvd) are listed in addition to those shown below…
New to DVD! Digitally remastered Doctor Who classic Shada! Written by Douglas Adams as his final contribution to Doctor Who, Shada was envisaged as a Time Lord story without a Gallifreyan setting. It sees the Doctor bringing Romana to present-day Earth to visit Professor Chronotis, an elderly Time Lord who absconded from Gallifrey and now lives a quiet academic life at St Cedd’s College in Cambridge.
Doctor Who Legacy (Shada) DVD (region one and Australian cover shown)
Shada and More that 30 years in The Tardis
Also seeking Chronotis is a scientist called Skagra who has a device, in the form of a floating sphere, with which he intends to steal the Professor’s mind and thereby learn the location of a book entitled The Worshipful and Ancient Law of Gallifrey. Skagra eventually succeeds in obtaining the book, which has been borrowed from the Professor’s study by a student named Chris Parsons. He then kidnaps Romana and hijacks the TARDIS.
Original VHS covers and information…
It was sixteen minute’s past five (Earth Time) on Saturday the 23rd November 1963, the day after the – assassination of President Kennedy, when Doctor Who first materialised on to BBC Television.
Squeezed in between the football results and the Telegoons, a legend was born’.
So, from humble flickering beginnings more than 30 years ago, began the eccentric Timelord’s crusade against evil. Now this fascinating documentary charts that remarkable career in time travel.
There are dozens of classic excerpts featuring all seven Doctors, clips from the wide-screen trailers of the two Dalek movies starring Peter Cushing, plus recently discovered material.
More than just a nostalgic birthday programme, unique documentary made specially, for BBC Video,
Archive gems
Behind The Scenes
Pure Nostalgia
More treasures from the cutting room floor
All this plus two exclusive Doctor Who commercial breaks, spoofs by CRACKER JACK and SPIKE MILLIGAN. candid moments and bloopers from across the years, specially shot interviews and an all star cast of favourite Doctors, assistants and of course, monsters.
An ultimate celebration of the world’s longest running science fiction TV series, this special BBC Video includes footage from Thirty yaers in the TARDIS, originally transmitted on 29 November 1993.
SHADA.
The long forgotten adventure destined to bring the Doctor face to face with the evil Skagra and his master plan for total omnipotence.
Recording of this 6 part adventure in 1979 was sadly never completed until now – with the aid of Tom Baker, Doctor No. 4.
Now all available filmed and recorded sequences are linked by his brilliant narration allowing BBC Video to unveil Shada in its entirety at last.
When one of the Artefacts of Gallifrey – a dangerous book dating back to the time of the all-powerful Rasillon – goes missing from his study, Cambridge professor and retired Timelord Dr. Chronotis calls in the aid of the Doctor and Romano.
The Doctor is very worried. Who knows what powers could be unleashed if the book falls into the wrong hands? Then the mysterious Skagra arrives armed with a thought-draining sphere and a scheme for one universal mind. But first he must get hold of the book…
This unique pack contains a video and a copy of the original scripts – a great addition to the wealth of Doctor Who titles on BBC Video.

Could you add Shada & MTTYITT to the DVD list please
Posted by: Some bloke January 6th, 2013
mine came on friday. Watched them both already. Its a shame, cus it seems like ‘more than…’ was a direct copy from video to dvd
Posted by: Gordon January 6th, 2013
Steve roberts said: ‘More Than Thirty Years in the TARDIS’ had no restoration, other than a simple automated DVNR pass. There was little point, where would we have stopped? I worked on that show and from a technical point of view it was exceptionally rough, with many generations of Betacam SP involved. Should we have rebuilt it from the rushes tapes, replaced every classic series shot with newly restored versions? We would have been there for months… This was a low budget release, as reflected in its price point
Posted by: Some bloke January 7th, 2013
fair enough, but its still a wonderful dvd to own.

The January release is always the most exciting as it kickstarts the releases after a few months break. We know some release, re-releases and specials are due, but has anyone got any idea what we can expect next january? Is everything going to be re-released again? I hope not. Not just for costs sake, but because it’d nice to think we have something complete. I suppose season box sets could be an option? Wondering what anybody has heard!
Posted by: Gordon January 5th, 2013
Nobody yet knows what is happening next january. I supose they will announce what is happening when they are ready to tell.

In regards to the way Thirty Years in the Tardis is being released are there any ideas or plans going on for The Story of Doctor Who and other BBC Specials for Doctor Who to be released on DVD also Special TV features like Doctor Who Night 1999? l think some parts of these Specials have been released on DVD like The Comedy Sketch released on An Unearthly Child from Doctor Who Night
Posted by: Gordon January 2nd, 2013
Not heard anything reguards story of doctor who but i have always thought it would make a good companion piece to put on the mark gattis biopic: An Adventure in Space and Time whenever that gets a dvd release but if it does or not ive got no idea
Posted by: Mr Zarbi January 2nd, 2013
Would like Dimensions in Time/Comic Relief Special out because the 7th doctor’s era isn’t really finished. Plus I think the 30 years in the tardis doctor logo should be the same as lost in time.
Posted by: Gordon January 2nd, 2013
Dimensions in time wont get a dvd release.Everybody involved in dit did it for free on the condition that it would be broadcast once and never be comercially released. Even if there was no legal issues in releasing The cost of restoration team getting access to dimensions in time from children in need is £56,000. Just not affordable for what would be an extra
Posted by: Anonymous January 3rd, 2013
The condition was that it would never be released commercially for profit.
In theory they could get away with it if they sent the money to Children in Need (it would make sense as that was the original intended charity).
Posted by: Gordon January 4th, 2013
http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Dimensions_in_Time Says
This story was produced especially for Children in Need, and the cast and production crew gave their services free of charge on conditions laid down at the time by the actors’ union, equity.Dimensions would receive only one transmission and would never be exploited commercially in any way.
Posted by: Gordon January 4th, 2013
Think that would include for charitable purposes as well. selling it to Raise money for children in need would involve making a profit out of it even if all of the profit goes to cin. that would still be classifing it as exploiting/ it for cash.
Posted by: celestial toymaker January 5th, 2013
will the box art be the one with professor chronotis on when it is released
Posted by: Blake January 9th, 2013
couldnt they release it as a charitable thing, like all profit goes to children in need or something

6 days to go!

i would recommend they do a sontaran experiment se due to the lack of special features and also a genesis of the daleks se. also why does it say special value edition on the sontaran experiment dvd
Posted by: Gordon January 1st, 2013
It was a line of releases that were budget priced(along with timelash black orchid and a couple of others). It had a rrp of 9.99 and had fewer extras to reflect the cheaper price. It was discontinued as it became too expensive to manufactuer dvds with the recession. Appart from a making of there really isnt anything else missing from sontaran experiment. There is nothing wrong with genesis. Its got a full disc full of extras and the picture quality is as good as its going to get

Depends on where you preorder it from. I find sometimes amazon dont actually post them till day of release and i dont actually get them till midweek. BBC shop is pretty good at getting them early on the saturday. Play.com are hit and miss (ambassadors came early but claws came the wednesday after release)

Posted by: WFK DVD Collector 12 December 22nd, 2012
I normally put the spin offs, documentrys, ect at the very end of my collection then I put them into order of what years they were shown. E.g. K9 and company (1981) and then More Then 30 Years in the Tardis (1993).
Posted by: dr who 1999 December 19th, 2012
has anyone else spotted that in TD,TW,ATW, the title sequence has been slightly altered. The MATT SMITH, and CLAIR SKINNER names are transparent, they also fade out instead of doing the swooshing affect. Also the doctor who logo fades in instead of suddenly appearing. just wanted to know if anyone else spotted this

Won’t stop me buying but I hope the TARDIS image in the circle (next to the caption “The 1993 Anniversary Documentary”) is different on the spine as was hoping it would match the spine of the Lost in Time DVD set.
Posted by: Lachlan December 18th, 2012
Mixed feelings for More Than… Cover but considering l haven’t watched it and there is no where to watch it online l can’t exactly judge Shada Cover looks brilliant though and for me Shada will be what l want more in this Boxset.

haven’t seen this since the 1990′s! should good as i remember.
Posted by: Michael December 15th, 2012
Yawn yawn yawn. Why on earth havnt they done anything other than slap on the old VHS version. Total laziness. Can’t even be bothered to watch that again totally ruined by keff mccullochs music.
Posted by: gordon December 15th, 2012
Hardly lazyness. There was possible plans to include ian levine’s animated version but for various different reasons (lack of clearance cost of getting tom involved to voice his part for the gaps, cost of score getting done in the gaps etc) was turned down. The main problem is getting clearance from the adams estate for a new version of shada is very expensive and would in all likelyhood price it well out of the price range of an affordable dvd.
Posted by: gordon December 15th, 2012
Also dan hall mentioned recently that a completed shada would be classified as creating new main feature content and creating new main feature content is the bbc’s remit not bbcworldwide who dan hall works for
Posted by: McGann is the Doctor December 19th, 2012
But didn’t they do it for the Invasion ?
Posted by: gordon December 19th, 2012
Thats totally different. Thats got a completed sountrack. Shada doesnt. Therefore that would involve creating new sountrack for the missing parts therefore creating new main feature content

Artwork for R2 releases of The Legacy Collection and The Reign Of Terror can be found in the latest DWM. There is a slight variation for the boxset art with no Romana but the Professor instead.

Are there plans at all for re-release of The Dalek Invasion of Earth and Earthshock? And has Dan Hall ever said what year doctor who dvd re-releases will stop from like 2006 or 2007 dvds at the latest (Claws of Axos 2006)
Posted by: gordon December 10th, 2012
David banks has said he has done a commentary for earthshock but members of the restoration have no knowledge of a special edition of earthshock being planned or even being considered.(some think david was meaning a convention commentary).Not heard anything on DIOE but i tink its a fine release as it is. Dan hall hasnt given a cut off date but id expect inferno (june 2006) may be the point with possible exception of an often requested silver nemesis extended SE and dinos with ep1 in full colour if its possible in a few years time.
Posted by: Lachlan December 6th, 2012
So they’ve confirmed Visitation re-release that’s good l always thought the cover for that release was a little too simple but of course extras are more important. I wasn’t expecting any more releases from Davisons era so this is great l hope they don’t release too many Special Editions specifically from 2004 onwards cause l have a few like the Pyramids of Mars and The Green Death from then.
Posted by: Lachlan December 6th, 2012
Also how is the Underwater Menace being release? I hope its an extra on the Ice Warriors like how Airlock was released
Posted by: Blake December 6th, 2012
I believe that the underwater menace will have its own release by having the two missing episodes being animated
Posted by: Lachlan December 8th, 2012
Oh if that’s the case they could do the moonbase and the crusade, They’re not planning to do anything like The Dalek’s Master Plan obviously but l never thought they would do anything after Reign of Terror.
Posted by: gordon December 8th, 2012
Going by dan hall’s comments the anything over 2 eps missing will be extremely unlikely due to cost (the fact that galaxy 4 isnt getting animated and is only getting released as part of a recon and only as an extra is a telling sign that animation for 3 episodes is above their budget). Most you can expect is reign of terror, crusade, Mission to the unknown, tenth planet, underwater menace, moonbase and ice warriors but thats not a guarantee that all those will get animated releases
Posted by: Prof Horner December 5th, 2012
Great news about the ice warriors. I am pleased to see that the vistation is been re -released. I have always had a thing for Sarah Sutton.

ice warriors could possibly be released after Aztecs SE/Galaxy 4, as there is a 2 month gap between that and Terror of the Zygons so…
Has any one heard of any animation/reconstruction for the ice warriors?
Posted by: gordon December 5th, 2012
Nothing else has been passed. Have heard rumours of animation for ice warriors but nothing official

Posted by: Timelord Harry December 5th, 2012
Ive got a feeling that the tenth planet will be the last one to be released
Posted by: Emperor Omega December 7th, 2012
I hope not. I really want ‘The Tenth Planet’. I also hope the rumours about ‘The Ice Warriors’ being released next year is true.
I doubt that we’d be seeing ‘Power of the Daleks’ or ‘The Evil of the Daleks’ anytime soon. Which is a pity, coz’ I have both of those stories on Audio CD & they’re really good.
Posted by: gordon December 8th, 2012
It is more than a rumour (dan hall has already confirmed ice warriors is getting a release next year)and the fact the trailer has been passed by the bbfc means it should not be too far away. There is a good chance the trailer could appear on the aztecs SE which would mean it could possibly be released soon as april 1st.

Seeing as the only unreleased stories where footage exists are shada, reign of terror, galaxy 4 ep 3, ice warriors, terror of the zygons, mind of evil underwater menace ep 2 and Tenth planet the release of tenth planet cant be that far away. it will be out by november at the latest
Posted by: gordon December 8th, 2012
Doubtfull that power of the daleks or evil of the daleks will get a release as dan hall said animation for anything over 2 episodes will be extremely unlikely

so far on the classic dvd range we have Girls,girls,girls- the 1960s, we have had girls,girls,girls-the 1970s, but we have not had girls,girls girls on the 1980s. i think they should have put it on this dvd release,seeing as this is the last nonrevisited story of the 80s. does anyone eles think this?
Posted by: dr who 1999 November 27th, 2012
i know this might seem a bit camp, but will there be a 3rd 80s version?

And why not have a “Boyz, boyz, boyz” section? After all, there was Ian, Steven, Ben, Jamie, the UNIT men, Harry, Adric (does he count!?!?) and Turlough and of course in recent years Mickey, Adam and Rory
Posted by: dr who 1999 November 29th, 2012
you know, thats what i was thinking. why cant it be fair? it would be awsome to have a documentary about the male companions
Posted by: gordon November 30th, 2012
As its the classic range it wouldnt cover micky adam rory. All depends on what style of documentary they would do. It would be easier to do a couple of talking heads ie same as the girls girls girls 60′s.It would be trickier to get all 3 surving together to do the same style as the 70s and 80′s as mark is in australia and matthew is in america

Its the Galaxy 4 recon that was originally going to go on the time medlar dvd but was pulled. The galaxy 4 listing is for parts 1 and 2. airlock is part 3 and the exploding planet is part 4. They are listed seperatly to split from the recon and the episode.

The terror of the Zygons dvd is getting a directors cut. What would that be like on a classic series dvd. Do they delete some scenes from it?
Posted by: gordon December 2nd, 2012
It was a scene that was cut of the invisible tardis of tom ian and liz and was cut because of lighting issues.it was a late cut as it had been already been scored. It was believed to be lost but was found in a mixture of black and white and colour footage which babelcolour worked his magic on.
Posted by: celestial toymaker December 2nd, 2012
could you explain in more detail please
Posted by: celestial toymaker December 2nd, 2012
Also will you be able to switch between the directors cut version to the original version like Invasion of the dinosaurs? I’m guessing you may be able to switch from black and white to colour on the mind of evil DVD when it is complete.
Posted by: gordon December 2nd, 2012
The director’s cut of ep1 of zygons is only 1 aditional scene which was found recently. The directors cut version will be available as an extra on disc 1. Its not available via angle branching (like invasion of dinos ep1) as some dvd models had problems with the angle branching. Mind of evil wont have alternative colour versions as there wont be room on the disc to have both b and w and colour versions and there probably wont be the budget to do both versions. Only reason why dinos ep1 had both versions was down to colour recovery for ep 1 was

Posted by: gordon December 8th, 2012
yes for episodes 2 to 6 and was done back in september 2008/09 but there are hundreds of hours of aditional work to get it up to a high enough quality for a dvd release. As no chroma dots exists for ep 1 Babelcolour has been spending the last 18 months hand colourising episode 1 and is due to finish on the 31st december. What i meant when i said we wont get an alternative colour version is: We will get the colour version but we wont get the b and w version as there isnt enough budget or disc space for both versions

I’ve actually made my own SHADA DVD but i can’t wait for the real SHADA DVD to come out. It’s ace. Ican’t believe that it wasn’t finished because of a bank holiday that’s why I think it’s a miracle that it’s on DVD!!!
Posted by: MasterKasterborous November 13th, 2012
It was due to BBC strikes not a bank holiday. We have (I believe) Sue Malden to thank for the fact that the footage survives.

Posted by: Gordon November 11th, 2012
Depends on which version of shada though. There are 3 visual representations of shada. 1. The tom baker gap naration which i think is pretty poor (there are only so many ways you can say then this happened) 2. The paul mcgann version which has never held my attention. 3. The ian levine shada (which may never see the light of day)
Posted by: James November 8th, 2012
I do hope the BBC could find some way of releasing full missing episodes on dvd, alot of collectors have transferred the Loose Cannon Reconstructions VHS to DVD but l think if the reconstruction team could release for use something similar except with documentarys and the usual tardis menu it would be quite cheap to make and would satisfy fans or at least me,
Posted by: Blake November 8th, 2012
Agreed
Posted by: dr who 1999 November 8th, 2012

Sadly dan hall feels animation raised the bar too high to use loose cannon style recons as main feature releases
Posted by: MasterKasterborous November 10th, 2012
And if you were speaking about Loose Cannon releasing their reconstructions on DVD then don’t get your hopes up. They make a big point about only releasing them on VHS for copyright reasons.

No l already know Loose Cannon can’t release them on DVD because of copyright issues i meant if the BBC could do something similar officially you know.

I havn’t been on the site in a while and so i don’t know what kind of releases are coming out after january. Also does anyone know any sources where more news will be posted.

Hi, Blink. The schedule for 2013 is like this (so far)
Legacy box and reign of terror in January
Ark in Space SE in february
The AztecsSE/Galaxy 4 episode 3 out in march
Terror of the zygons out in june.
These titles have been confirmed but no release date
Inferno SE
The Mind Of Evil
And underwater menace episode 2
And at least one more SE
These titles are rumoured for release
Tenth planet (with animation)
Underwater Menace (with animation)
Moonbase (with animation)
Ice warriors (with animation)
Posted by: Jelly baby anyone November 6th, 2012
To be honest, once all the available episodes are released on DVD, that’s it. I’m not getting blue-ray and the SEs are a rip-off as most of them don’t have the same extras from the original release, so unless they feature other found episodes or animated scenes and new commentaries, I’ll be saving a few pennies, actually pounds.
Posted by: Gordon November 8th, 2012
Disagree with jelly baby anyone. Its only 3 releases(pertwee dedication on the tv movie, tombwatch on tomb and panoptican 93 on 3 doctors) that have had extras removed not most of them. And its down to the rights expiring and not being available. Its not ripping people off. Plus you are also getting a brand new restoration for your money as well (which is the main reason for a revisit) so hardly call it a rip off
Posted by: Mr Zarbi October 31st, 2012
They could realese a missing episode set with 10th planet and ice warriors

Which will probably be the reason why his version of shada will never get released
Posted by: dr who 1999 October 29th, 2012
if he can spend all that money on animations,why cant he spend some money on copyright? i mean surly copyright must be cheaper than animation, and given that he is rich he could easily afford it, even if it is more expensive than animations.
Posted by: Gordon October 29th, 2012
The copyright is owned by the bbc. Not that easy

Posted by: Mr Zarbi November 2nd, 2012
Why is Levine making these animations and not showing it to anyone?
Posted by: Gordon November 2nd, 2012
Because he wants them. He did do a couple of shada showings for a couple of fans that got to see it at his house He would like to have them released officialy but he never gets to because of various different reasons. Out of intrest in total levine has done about 40 different projects and the only official release was the planet of giants recon but that was because he hassled ed stradling till he let him do it and that was bbc worldwide funded.

Posted by: Mark Simmons October 25th, 2012
Why on earth don’t the Beeb take on Ian Levine’s finished copy of Shada, give the man credit! And give the fans a completed version of Shada – it’s more than we deserve after the shoddy way the BBC wiped early episodes! Please please please. If you have to release this unfinished symphony of 70′s Who you could easily put together Ian’s version too. As a long long standing fan, it’s what I want! I have spent £££ on the BBC as so have many fans. Put your differences aside for a moment and do what’s right. Give us Shada!
Posted by: Gordon October 25th, 2012
I believe there is some legal issue involved that it cant be released as ian himsef addmited he did not clear rights etc first. Even though he offered it for free The problem is ians shada isnt perfect. Some work needs redoing (alegedly) which would cost the bbc money. Hiring tom to re do the tom scenes would not be cheap (8 grand alegidly) and getting mark ayres to redub the score would cost them as well. Can see it costing too much especially on the limited budget bbc worldwide alocates
Posted by: RICHARD MANSELL October 25th, 2012
Destiny of the Daleks (1979) is in my opinion a very good Dr.Who story from the Tom Baker era. Especially as it was a Sequel to Genesis of the Daleks made in 1975. This was also the first story to feature Romana Mk 2.
Posted by: matparks08 October 23rd, 2012
Just seen the trailer for this box set, and i must be honest, all the fawning over Shada….it was going to be the best story ever, etc etc – tagged on a season that includes the appaling Horns of Nimon, Nightmare of Eden, and disappointing Destiny of the Daleks, and from memories of watching the video years ago – I find it a bit hard to believe really. I hope to be corrected when the dvd comes out, but until then i’ll be sceptical…at least that season did have City of Death!
Posted by: booboo October 23rd, 2012
cant understand why BBC worldwide dont promote these trailer themselves
Posted by: Gordon October 23rd, 2012
I think if it was finished in 1979 it would have been remembered as the 2nd best story of that season. Not as good as city of death. Douglas adams himself wasnt much of a fan of shada saying people will most likely remember it as spmething thaat was a couple of eps too long
Posted by: James October 24th, 2012
I rather liked Destiny of the Daleks the story was good but yes season 17 was a bit dodgy and for the last story to be unfinished is rather a shame. I’m looking forward to this release for the extras and the narration l’ve never watched Shada before (VHS Version) and the documentary with Tom will be Great!
Posted by: McGann is the Doctor October 24th, 2012
Destiny of the Daleks and Creature from the pit are two of the most enjoyable tom baker stories EVER.
They had good intriguing stories, albeit Davros and the green phallus weren’t the best portrayal, but the imagination in the stories was great, not to mention Tom Baker was on fine form !
As for City of Death, most overrated story ever. OOH ! It’s in paris !
Posted by: matparks08 October 24th, 2012
McGann is the Doctor , I didn’t say anything about Creature from the Pit as it’s my ‘guilty pleasure’ story
Posted by: Alzie October 24th, 2012
At last!!! Someone else who doesn’t think that Shada would have been that excellent. I got the video when it was released and thought it only slightly better than the grainy copy before Tom got on it. I prefer DotD and CftP to CoD.
Now, all that aside, I have to say the trailer for Shada and More Than 30 years in the TARDIS does look good – so pleased that Tom is in the documentary, I hope Lalla is as well. But lets be frank, season 17 wasn’t the best of years for Who and I doubt very much that Shada would be seen as being a classic.

the americans wont get the ‘more than…’ cover art, cus they dont do the boxsets, only as singular releases.
Posted by: danny October 22nd, 2012
does it have 8th dr webcast on? is the missing bits animated?
Posted by: Some bloke October 22nd, 2012
No its as it was when it was released on video, and yes the McGann animated version is on here
Posted by: Gordon October 23rd, 2012
The mcgann shada will be available on the dvd as a dvd rom feature only available via your computer
Posted by: McGann is the Doctor October 24th, 2012
Really ?
I’ve wanted to give that one a try.
Posted by: dr who 1999 October 24th, 2012
it would have been better to put it with the other extras but i guess the disk space would be too small. at least I’ve got a laptop…
Posted by: Gordon October 24th, 2012
It would have needed an extra disc wich wasnt in their budget
Posted by: dr who 1999 October 24th, 2012
Exactly, and a 4 disk set would be just a bit to much for one episode (shada) and a load of documentary’s and extras!
Posted by: James October 22nd, 2012
Great cover! Does anyone know who made this cover? and when do you think the cover for region 2 will be unveiled? Either way great story l suppose Shada is 2 disc and more than 30 years in the tardis is one disc
Posted by: Gordon October 22nd, 2012
It was clayton hickman who did the artwork
Posted by: dr who 1999 October 21st, 2012
why is this called the legacy box then? it says it know where on the cover. i thought it would be an actual box set
Posted by: Gordon October 22nd, 2012
Because that is the american cover. The uk will be in a box set
Posted by: dr who 1999 October 22nd, 2012
cool, i think the uk cover will probbaly be better
Posted by: Some bloke October 22nd, 2012
The above cover design will be the same cover used on the uk ‘Shada’ cover, but there will be a different cover for ‘more than 30 years in the TARDIS’
Posted by: dr who 1999 October 22nd, 2012
i get it now
Posted by: AREA 52 October 21st, 2012
I’m definitely going to buy this DVD when it comes out because I’ve got the audio and made my own cover so I’d love it if I could just watch the full episode although it’s a lost episode.
Posted by: KORSAIR October 20th, 2012
I was not too impressed by the original release of this but I’ll be buying this version. I couldn’t miss out on those extras.
Posted by: matparks08 October 20th, 2012
The cover looks good. This all takes me back 20 years nearly when 30 Years in the Tardis was on TV originally, it was very exciting because new Who had vanished from the schedules for at least 4 years by then, though we were content with repeats of Time meddler and Mind Robber on, i think, BBC 2. Some great (new) scenes in it like Sarah Jane under the influence of a Sontaran, and what happened to the Brigadier as he’s driven off by an Auton? As for Shada, i hope Tom Baker’s introduction (before the first episode) is also included, (cont.)
Posted by: matparks08 October 20th, 2012

3 disc
Posted by: Esterath October 20th, 2012
WOW! Cool cover!
Posted by: Some bloke October 20th, 2012
i really hope the region 2 version wont be all in one case. I hope it is a BOX SET with one case holding shada and the other with more than 30 years in the TARDIS. (fingers crossed)
Posted by: Gordon October 20th, 2012
I hope it will be as im going to run out of space shortly
Posted by: Some bloke October 20th, 2012
see, thats where im fortunate to have plenty of space
Posted by: Adipose333 October 20th, 2012
It will almost defiantly be two cases in region 2 as 1: K9 and Company was released in a case with The Invisible enemy and in R2 it was released seperatly and otherwise, why would they have the title ‘The Legacy Box’ without it being a box set
Posted by: Some bloke October 20th, 2012
thank you very much adipose333 for clearing that up, I completely forgot about the k9 tales box set. So that will definately mean they will be seperate. Phewww…
Posted by: john smith October 19th, 2012
how come the bbc is not completeing this story with animation
Posted by: gordon October 19th, 2012
The amount of animation required at the high standard required would be Too expensive.
Posted by: MasterKasterborous October 19th, 2012
An unofficial animation was created by Ian Levine and offered to the BBC for the DVD release but was turned down for a variety of reasons. It included many of the original cast but Tom Baker was not part of the production.
Posted by: THE ERGON October 19th, 2012
It hasn,t said anything about the ‘inferno-special edition’ release date.
Posted by: gordon October 19th, 2012
Sure they will tell us later
Posted by: The TARDIS October 20th, 2012
Inferno? Special Edition? Wouldn’t have thought that needed one – it’s already got loads of special features!
Posted by: Gordon October 20th, 2012
Advancments in technology can give inferno much better picture quality
Posted by: Mr Zarbi November 1st, 2012
Yes, it is awful.
Posted by: oscarwho October 19th, 2012
just readed this in dwn 453 and i had shada once
Posted by: Alzie October 19th, 2012
This looks like a darn good belated Christmas prezzie! It would be nice if both Tom and Lalla are involved somewhere on this DVD, though obviously it won’t be together. Is there a commentary as well?
Posted by: gordon October 19th, 2012
None is listed in the extras and as its a mix of studio footage and tom naration which was recorded 13 years appart i doubt there will be
Posted by: Anonymous October 19th, 2012
damm bbc not thinking about the fans!
Posted by: Anonymous October 18th, 2012
will the ian levine animated version be on there and the paul magain version?
Posted by: Some bloke October 18th, 2012
I think they said no to ian levine’s version on the dvd, and i highly doubt that the McGann version would be on here
Posted by: gordon October 18th, 2012
Paul mcgann version will be there as an extra
Posted by: Anonymous October 19th, 2012
why no ian levine i mean he did complet it
Posted by: Some bloke October 19th, 2012
Oh so their calling the paul mcgann one, the ‘Flash Version’ I get it now
Posted by: gordon October 19th, 2012
Ian completed it for his own private collection but couldnt come to an agreement with bbc worldwide despite offering it for free.
Posted by: gordon October 19th, 2012
Its not the bbcs fault. Dan hall and steve roberts tried their best to make the deal work but quality was an issue
Posted by: gordon October 19th, 2012
Here is what steve roberts had to say on the ian shada situation. We all went in to a meeting with the express intention of figuring out a way to make his version work for DVD, but finally had to give in to the huge commercial, legal and artistic pressures that were in the way. Nobody was being lazy and despite several people having legitimate axes to grind with IL for various reasons, everyone was trying to make it work. At the end of the day, Dan had to make the decision which was best for the range and best for the label.”

Boo Boo, I was wondering. Have you got on your computer/laptop a full picture of the ‘Classic design’ without any writing or images on. THe blue one with the diamonds. If you have it could you please upload it as I want to make some top trumps.!

i dont but is this any good? http://www.skewstudio.com/system/assets/files/829/main/BACKGROUND.jpg?1316003463

That is exactly what I wanted Boo Boo, you are the best!!!
Posted by: THE ERGON October 18th, 2012
Need to know if they will be keeping the updated special effects on ‘the ark in space’ release. Looking forward to the re-issue of the aztecs,especially with the missing ‘airlock’ episode.
Posted by: gordon October 18th, 2012
It will still have the same updated effects that was on the original dvd
Posted by: THE ERGON October 19th, 2012
Ok,thanks.
Posted by: THE ERGON October 18th, 2012
Its a shame about shada being unfinished.Those damn BBC strikes. The kraag were one of the better late 70s monsters. We only see them briefly as well. I will buy.I,ve still got the blue script book from the vhs release thankfully.
Posted by: Classic Who Is Cool October 18th, 2012
Will definatley be getting this
Posted by: The TARDIS October 18th, 2012
Great to finally see Shada on DVD. Will it be the BBCi animation, the video narrated release or a new animation filling in the gaps in what was filmed?
Posted by: gordon October 18th, 2012
Its the vhs version plus the bbci animation as an extra
Posted by: Some bloke October 18th, 2012
Its due a release on the 7th of january next year, with reign of terror released on the 28th of january.
All the info is here at the bottom if this page

Posted by: Blake October 18th, 2012
What do u think the other special edition is, personally, just to annoy me, it will be the green death because I am getting it for christmas
Posted by: Some bloke October 19th, 2012
possibly, though i wouldnt mind a special edition of pyramids of mars, or horror of fang rock.
Posted by: The TARDIS October 19th, 2012
Pyramids of Mars doesn’t really need one, but I agree with Horror of Fang Rock – the special features on it were distinctly underwhelming.
Posted by: Some bloke October 19th, 2012
fair point
Posted by: dr who 1999 October 19th, 2012
its a blue ray edition of spearhead from space with Jon pertwee’s and Caroline Jon’s autobiography’s included.
Posted by: Some bloke October 19th, 2012
yeah but above i’ve posted a list which includes all ‘DVD’ releases not bluray.
heres the bluray’s
http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_BBC_Blu-ray_releases
Posted by: dr who 1999 October 19th, 2012
so that’s not part of a re -visitation then?
Posted by: Some bloke October 19th, 2012
no its, just a normal blu-ray release, its the only classic story which will be released on bluray as all footage was all filmed on film, and therefore the only story possible for blu-ray. The 4th revisited story will probably be something like ‘horror of fang rock’ or something else. i hope its ‘horror’
Posted by: dr who 1999 October 19th, 2012
i think the last revisit will be one of these:
the dalek invasion of earth
the vistilation
the green death
ghost light
or horror of fang rock
Posted by: Some bloke October 19th, 2012
my thoughts exactly
Posted by: Harold Saxon October 18th, 2012
