Original VHS Cover and information 
In this exciting space adventure the Doctor (Jon Pertwee) is forced into a desperate race against time…
An inexplicable power-loss strands the Tardis on the sinister planet Exxilon where the Doctor meets an expedition from Earth seeking a rare mineral that can cure the virulent space plague that threatens all human life throughout the galaxy. Nearby Sarah discovers a mysterious Citadel but is captured by the savage Exxilons who prepare her for sacrifice…
The Doctor must uncover the secrets of the ancient Exxilon City, locate the source of the power-drain, save Sarah and help the Earth expedition. But his plans are threatened by new arrivals on the planet – the Doctor’s oldest and deadliest enemies -the Daleks!

YEO
July 28th, 2012 - 6:40pmJust bought this today and It is absolutely Fantastic! Thoroughly entertaining and in my opinion, way better than Planet of the Daleks! Definitely one of the best classic stories I’ve seen in a long time 🙂 I got the beneath the surface boxset a few days ago and death to the daleks has washed the bad after-taste of warriors of the deep out of mouth! Utterly Brilliant!
stephen lloyd
July 8th, 2012 - 8:20pmi know that the death to the daleks release date is the 18 june 2012 on dvd but i want to know why it’s so late that the death to the daleks dvd it’s not in any of hmv stores why.
McGann is the Doctor
May 2nd, 2012 - 1:33pmGosh, I have SO many stories to get on DVD.
I will be getting the Auton box set, Colony in Space, the Daemons, Day of the Daleks, the Mutants, the Green Death Planet of Spiders, Seeds of Doom, Android Invasion, The Hand of Fear, Nightmare of Eden, the E-space trilogy, I have all the Peter Davison and Colin Baker stories I want (that means I didn’t want Timelash, Four to Doomsday Kinda or Black Orchid, and I threw Warriors of the Deep in the garbage, it’s so bad I wouldn’t want anyone else to see it) ❗ and some 7th Doctor ones I want.
Anonymous
May 13th, 2012 - 2:11pmWARRIORS OF THE DEEP HAS A GOOD STORY. OK, IT WAS OVERLIT, THE MYRRKA WAS AN ILL CONCIEVED DISASTER AND SOME OF THE ACTING LEFT A LOT TO BE DESIRED,BUT THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BASE UNDER SIEGE PLOT. A BETTER DIRECTOR LIKE GRAEME HARPER WOULD HAVE MADE A BETTER JOB PERHAPS.INCIDENTALLY,APART FROM THE ROPEY MARA SNAKE,WHATS WRONG WITH KINDA OR FOUR TO DOOMSDAY.TWO OF PETERS BETTER STORIES I,D SAY.
BB
June 17th, 2012 - 4:46pmI’ve got Four to Doomsday, it’s a good story but i don’t think it’s the best
TheSpaceman
May 1st, 2012 - 8:03pmHave they changed the dalek voices to nick briggs like they did with day of the daleks?
Gordon
May 1st, 2012 - 8:10pmNo
McGann is the Doctor
May 2nd, 2012 - 1:34pmI think the voices weren’t bad, it was the music for the Daleks that really spoils it.
A. Walters
May 16th, 2012 - 8:18amMaybe in the early 70s the Daleks were just so scary, you were too busy hiding to notice the music 😉
McGann is the Doctor
April 23rd, 2012 - 11:49amQuestion, out of the Daemons, Face of Evil and Nightmare of Eden, which are you getting first or want the most or have already got ?
I want Nightmare the most, but have decided not to buy it till next year because I want to see the new Romana stories that are coming out from Big finish, then continue to the later Tom Baker stories because the last time I saw him I had finished the Key to Time season.
The Daemons, I’v read, is actually not all it’s cut out to be, it’s got great actors and is enjoyable, but not THAT good so I hear. ❓
Anonymous
April 23rd, 2012 - 3:48pmTHE DAEMONS HAS ITS FAULTS LIKE MOST CLASSIC WHO,BUT IT IS STILL ONE OF THE PERTWEE BIG HITTERS AND ESSENTIAL. BOTH EERIE AND FUNNY AND ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF WHAT THE SHOW COULD DO WITH A GOOD PRODUCTION TEAM ON A LIMITED BUDGET. NIGHTMARE DOES NEED RE_EVALUATING.STORY IS ORIGINAL,SLIGHTLY LET DOWN PRODUCTION WISE AND DEPENDS ON WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE ON THE MANDRILS.I THINK ITS HILARIOUSLY FUNNY IN PLACES. FACE OF EVIL TOO IS FINE THOUGH IF ITS ALIENS/MONSTERS YOU WANT, ITS SOMEWHAT LACKING. I<D GO FOR THE DAEMONS FIRST AND WORK UP.
glock
April 21st, 2012 - 4:05amThey should bring back the krotons in season 7 or 8 that would be cool
gordon
April 21st, 2012 - 8:46amNo as they could barely move and would require a major redisgn which would probably ruin the whole aspect of the krotons
Anonymous
April 23rd, 2012 - 11:08amAGREED THERE. I WASN,T THAT IMPRESSED WITH THE SONTARANS OR SILURIANS REDESIGN. DON,T FIX WHAT ISN,T NECESSARILY BROKEN.

gordon
April 19th, 2012 - 9:42pmVery underated story in my opinon Mcgann is the doctor. And here is the region 1/USA artwork (uk cover will be slightly similar) and info for Krotons http://www.bbcamericashop.com/dvd/doctor-who-the-krotons-16609.html
ANTHONY

McGann is the Doctor
April 23rd, 2012 - 1:02pm(Why ddi I even check that link, I don’t like the Krotons, all they could do was loom) but anyway the cover looks very VHS-artworky, if you know what I mean.
It looks great though ,wish we had more covers like that.
gordon
April 13th, 2012 - 10:58amLooks like we will be getting a claws of axos revisit. Katy manning has posted on twitter:Doing the on camera chat for Claws of Axos on Monday

April 13th, 2012 - 12:11pmDid hear rumours of a sea devil’s audio book. Could be that
McGann is the Doctor
April 17th, 2012 - 3:24pmIf Claws of Axos does get rereleased I may get it even though it’s not a story I like, it’s worth watching just for that upskirt of Jo Grant !

Ive not included future revisitation titles as they already have had an original release and therefore as its a rerelease and are not unreleased and are therfore excluded from the list of unreleased stories. Also excluded possible and no way comfired potential animated stories of moonbase crusade etc as the surviving episodes already have been released in lost in time and are again therefore excluded
Anonymous
April 13th, 2012 - 12:23pmGreatest Show in the Galaxy, Ambassadors of Death and Planet of Giants should be out later this year, as will The Reign of Terror (with animation of the two missing episodes).
The rest without dates should be out in 2013 sometime, with the exception of The Tenth Planet. That is still not confirmed yet but it likely will be for the sake of completion.

April 4th, 2012 - 11:38pmSome info that is not mentioned i got from the new dwm and galifrey base forum about this release.This cover is the final cover (obviously without the artwork to be confirmed .Its a 1 disc release. The dalek men documentary passed by the bbfc mentioned below is on it and is clips from the story of doctor who documentary originally recorded in 03. It has an isolated score. Absolutely no cgi is being planned

April 3rd, 2012 - 12:33pmI must have been unwell last night. I quite enjoyed Nightmare of Eden and the DVD commentary was very, how can I put it?, very frank indeed – it’s nice to hear those doing the commentaries being honest rather than some of the usual earlier commentary back-slapping, but I did feel sorry for Alan Bromly by the end of the commentary if what was said by Tom Baker was true. Roll on next month, it’s gonna be Ace!!
gordon
March 29th, 2012 - 9:26pmThe bbfc has classified the extras for the death to the daleks including the trailer for the next release: The Krotons. I expect it to be out in july at some point

Doctor Who DVD Collector
April 1st, 2012 - 11:42amI bet “DALEK MEN” was how they moved inside the Daleks and how they were controlled.
gordon
March 25th, 2012 - 9:59pmDont know if any of you have heard what the plan for mind of evil is. Well Steve roberts of the restoration team has revealed that episodes 2 to 6 are being recoloured through the colour recovery process as chroma dots exist for them episodes. Episode 1 doesnt have the chroma dots necessary for colour recovery so they have hired Babelcolour (a well known youtuber) to manually colour in ep 1. http://www.kasterborous.com/2012/03/the-mind-of-evil-in-full-colour/

Alan Dobbie
March 21st, 2012 - 10:35amDo we know who has done the commentary? My money is on Fraser Hines, Wendy Padbury (though she is not keen on this story), Terrance Dicks and hopefully the late, but wonderful Philip Madoc.

March 21st, 2012 - 10:43amI know they are all involved but i dont know the full line up. Toby Hadoke is modderating

CatManWho
March 8th, 2012 - 6:32pmFor the 40th they altered part of the H and O of WHO using the McGann 96 logo. I rather liked it, not everyone did. I think we do not want a new logo, but a clever modification to the Doctor DW Who logo. Assuming CO will still be outputting, the McGann logo is still active too, so that is two logo’s that might need modification.

March 8th, 2012 - 11:10amJune 18th anthony. Have to say that looks intresting gary. But i would be very carefull of using the daleks The terry nation estate have a really strict policy on the usage of daleks and have been known to pull stuff that they dont like or if they have been used without consent
