Spearhead from Space Exclusive Steelbook

Available to order from www.zavvi.com

Doctor Who – Spearhead from Space – Zavvi Exclusive Limited Edition Steelbook (Limited to 2000) Blu-ray

As punishment for breaking the laws of time, the Time Lords have forced the Doctor to change his appearance, taken away his ability to time travel, and exiled him to Earth…

But as the TARDIS arrives, so does a meteor shower carrying an alien invasion force. Originally shot on 16mm film, this classic Doctor Who story is the first to be upgraded into stunning HD.

    Ok so is there any difference, or is it just a pointless buy becuase it’s now in a steel book

      Doubt there will be anything new

      pointless perhaps if you already have it, a nice item if you dont, or if you collect steel books

      Most classic episodes were a mix of videotape (studio) and film (location).
      Spearhead was the only classic serial shot entirely on film.
