Doctor Who Fury from the Deep Blu-ray
Available to order from www.amazon.co.uk or www.zoom.co.uk
BBC Studios can reveal artwork and extras for Doctor Who: Fury From The Deep starring Patrick Troughton as The Doctor. The new animated release will be available on DVD, Blu-ray and Steelbook from 14th September 2020. Pre-orders are available now from Amazon, HMV and Zoom.
Following the success of existing animations The Power of the Daleks, The Faceless Ones, Shada and The Macra Terror, Fury From The Deep fills another gap in missing Doctor Who content lost in the purge of the BBC’s archive in 1975.
The three-disc release gives fans the opportunity to enjoy Fury From The Deep in high definition, either in full colour or in black & white. The release will include the surviving clips from the original 1968 production as well.
Fury From The Deep is told across six episodes and stars Frazer Hines and Deborah Watling. The storyline concerns a colony of sentient, parasitic seaweed, last seen in the eighteenth century, returning to attack a number of gas instillations in the North Sea in an attempt to take over humanity.
Animated episodes from Big Finish Creative Limited in association with Digitoonz Media & Entertainment and Thaumaturgy are joined by a wealth of exciting extras.
A making-of featurette ‘The Cruel Sea – Surviving Fury From The Deep’ sees original cast members Frazer Hines, June Murphy and Brian Cullingford revisit filming locations with production assistant Michael Briant, assistant floor manager Margot Hayhoe and helicopter pilot Mike Smith. Other contributors to this segment include writer Victor Pemberton and actress Deborah Watling. There’s also an archive audio interview with director Hugh David.
Additional material includes:
- Audio commentaries
- The Cruel Sea – Surviving Fury From The Deep
- Original surviving footage
- Behind The Scenes 8mm footage
- Animating Fury From The Deep
- Archive interviews with Peter Day and Victor Pemberton
- Teaser Trailer
- Photo Gallery
- The Slide Audio Drama
- PDF scripts

September 17th, 2020 - 8:31pmJust watched the B&W version and enjoyed it so much. Nice to have info text for this release too as there is so much interesting behind the scenes stuff.

September 12th, 2020 - 2:55pmJust watched the colour version of the story, I have to say I really love these animated episodes It’s a great way to view these missing stories. For a show that’s so old it’s fantastic what they have done with the three disc blu-Ray set.( Nice touch to see the wanted poster on the wall in episode two).
Well done to everyone who has a hand in this collection.

September 15th, 2020 - 4:10pmNot strictly an Easter Egg but I did think that during the tunnel scenes the backgrounds for a potentially animated Web 3 are kind of already in place. Did they use the same sets for the Fury tunnels as they did for Web of Fear?

August 31st, 2020 - 2:10pmShould we expect a new trailer with the release being so soon?

August 31st, 2020 - 2:49pmGoing by the power special edition probably next week.
Master of M
August 3rd, 2020 - 6:39pmAny news of the next ‘Collection/Season’ box set?
Prof Horner
August 5th, 2020 - 11:18amI would be happy with Evil and Abominable done next year. The big question is would Abominable have snow?
Philip Shaw
August 8th, 2020 - 2:45pmRumours it’s 5th Doctor’s 2nd Season 20. But Covid has delayed special features, especially the cast visiting Amsterdam for ‘Arc of Infinity’.
Gordon
August 9th, 2020 - 12:40amProbably will be 20. I’m hopeful with power Se out and the info for the fury release out of the way it may free up time for an announcement. However If we don’t get an announcement by the end of September I suspect it won’t be out this year
Gordon
August 9th, 2020 - 1:06amI also can see the Amsterdam extras filming get canned If things flair up again for a second wave or there is no end in sight.

August 24th, 2020 - 9:02amGood thing there are these animations, at leas there is some new Doctor Who content we can get in these weird times. But I hope they will somehow manage to get us at least one new box set this year. They could do the extras via zoom and stuff, it would serve as a reminder of the times they were made in.

July 5th, 2020 - 8:16amCorrect me if I’m wrong but if the team working on Fury from the Deep is the same team from Planet 55 that did the Moonbase call me one very happy Doctor Who fan. Is there any news yet regarding the 2021 releases? I’m not sure how much Covid-19 has affected production but with two teams I’m hoping they can do another two releases next year. It seems likely that Evil of the Daleks is next after The Macra Terror and The Faceless Ones but I’m not sure what the second release could be. Perhaps The Wheel in Space? I doubt The Abominable Snowmen will be easier than a base under seige story.

July 5th, 2020 - 8:30amAs far as I’m aware it has been mentioned that another Troughton story is in the works for early 2021 but that’s all we know so far.
Gordon
July 5th, 2020 - 12:41pmThe animations are done remotely from home anyway so it really shouldn’t effect the schedule. Only if they wanted to do special features like a making of or any on camera interviews there maybe some problems. I think it will be evil and abominable next year. Evil as it’s the next Troughton after faceless ones and abominable as it’s the same tardis team as fury and if the team that did power got another special edition to work on I’d go for underwater menace. Abominable is classified as a base under siege and would actually be easier to do than wheel. There are only 8 human characters (Doctor Jamie and Victoria are already done for fury) to create plus the yeti which would only need 1 to be created and they then could copy. The indoor sets are extremely basic too. The only real issue Is the outdoor sets but it’s far from impossible
Majora
August 4th, 2020 - 3:13amThat’s great to hear! I can’t remember the last time I listened to Abominable Snowmen so it’d be good to experience it again in animation. An Underwater Menace Special Edition would be interesting, I’m not sure how well the original sold but I almost didn’t get it because of the shoddy reconstruction they used. If there’s any story that deserves a Special Edition it’d be Underwater Menace, though I’m not sure given that the Faceless Ones 1 & 3 were animated whether Underwater Menace 1 & 4 will be. I also wouldn’t mind them re-visiting Ice Warriors at some point either. Qurios was my least favourite animation team on the DVD releases and it could use a Special Edition like we’ve seen with Power of the Daleks.

August 5th, 2020 - 9:32amThere have been whispers sine February that Evil is next, but nothing is confirmed.
philip shaw
August 9th, 2020 - 10:20pmThey are avoiding ‘The Highlanders’ due to all the tartan, well they changed Troughtons pants in the Power of the Daleks special edition and it didn’t spoil the story. Maybe they can do it this way and forget the tartan. Rather have it this way than no release at all.

August 31st, 2020 - 5:44pmAccording to Digital Spy Last week the next releases for 2021 animated stores are Evil of the Daleks and The Abominable Snowman
James
May 5th, 2020 - 11:26amAnyone heard of a release date yet?
Henrik V
April 28th, 2020 - 1:27pmSo.. my pre-order on Amazon has vanished, and I can’t find it again on Amazon at all. That’s pretty strange. Anyone got a clue to what’s going on?
Anonymous
November 12th, 2019 - 10:16pmI wonder if this new team will be responsible for working on stories that include Victoria since will have a model of her. Leaving the other studio to continue to work on stories with Ben and Polly.

November 5th, 2019 - 1:32amThis is fantastic! The 2nd Doctor is awesome, hope they complete his whole run.
Leigh
October 31st, 2019 - 4:38pmIs there a high probability that these animated missing stories will be included on the future blu ray collection sets in the seasons they are from?
Anonymous
October 31st, 2019 - 4:57pmSo long as they aren’t right on top of each other in the release schedule, they will be included eventually.
Gordon
October 31st, 2019 - 5:01pmAny animations that are made will be included.
Jamie
October 28th, 2019 - 11:32amI wonder if they are going to try and fit third animated title into 2020? The animated stories are selling well on pre-order and once released so it might spur the BBC on to produce more. Faceless Ones – Spring, Fury – Summer, ? – Autumn
Gordon
October 28th, 2019 - 11:36amThey only have 2 teams. Think they would struggle to fit a third animation tbh. I fully expect a couple of announcements in 2020 for release in 2021
Robert Sienicki
November 4th, 2019 - 9:01amI don’t expect more than these two next year, but there are shorter stories missing, so if they chose to do them, then we may get 3 blu-rays in 2021.

October 28th, 2019 - 11:23amZoom, just one look and then my heart went boom
Suddenly and we were on the moon
Flyin’ high in a neon sky, oh oh 🙂
Zoom currently have £ 35 (McCoy BR) £17+ £17 (Faceless & Fury BR) All paypal, so paid up.
Fantastic news, and very left Field (I and a lot of others ) thought it would be Space Pirates, as there was mumblings that season 6, was coming sooner rather than later. Add to this Season 12 BR and I need a new job 😉
Robert Sienicki
October 28th, 2019 - 6:57amLooks like this is all going pretty well. I remember that “Shada” was made all by freelancer after their regular job, and “Macra Terror” was made in a specially created studio and now I hear they have separate two teams working at the same time. This sounds like BBC really put the money into this project and I feel like there might be a plan to animate the all missing episodes.
Anonymous
October 28th, 2019 - 6:55amDoes anyone think that we might get The Faceless Ones before or around Christmas?
Gordon
October 28th, 2019 - 7:30amNope. It’s due in 2020. If it was coming before Christmas the release date would have been revealed by now
skonnos
October 28th, 2019 - 8:17amdoubt it. the BFI always have a screening of it before any actual release and they have no such screening scheduled for 2019. expect to see it early 2020 next year
Gordon
October 28th, 2019 - 12:24amThink zoom have mis-priced the blu ray of it. £999.99
Anonymous
October 28th, 2019 - 12:48amShall we see how long it takes for people to explode about the ridiculous price!
Anonymous
October 28th, 2019 - 12:50amBeen adjusted now, rather unsurprisingly
Gordon
October 28th, 2019 - 7:38amThat’s a better price
