On Tigella, two opposing factions are irrevocably divided over one fundamental issue: the Dodecahedron, a mysterious artifact which provides the entire planet’s energy.

With the Savants and the Deons locked in a crippling stalemate, and their civilization on the brink of collapse, the Tigellan leader Zastor seeks the Doctor’s help.

But the Doctor and Romana have been trapped aboard the TARDIS in a time loop by Meglos, the last of the Zolpha Thurans, who will stop at nothing to steal back the awesome power of the Dodecahedron.

    2E are ginna make Shada for DVD, these guys are very dedicated and open-imded I think, and although the story of Shada has, in the past, been recreated (by BBC online, and with aa VHS that had Tom Baker voicing in for the scenes that were never made during production) and readdapted (by BigFinnish, with the Eighth Doctor going back and making it happen after the events in the Five Doctors, where The Fourth Doctor and Romanna were taken away and the sereis of events in this stroy never happened). So although weve had that, a DVD would inform us.

    -Yeah I know what you mean. CO tend to jsut throw out whatever they think will sell well, make money, and so the contents of the sets are sometimes not 100% to the satisfaction of us dedicated fans. Things that matter to us but not to them, like the Imperial Dalek sucker-cup from the 7th Doctor two-pack. Its the same shape as the old Daleks, which it shouldnt be!

    80s 4th Doctor with interchangeable heads and hands, maybe in a future Companion set. We’d also love to see an 80s Tom with the huge coat off, as he appeared in much of this story.

    i wish FP would release a set with spiky tom from meglos, romana from meglos and the TARDIS as it appeared in meglos…

    They should also bring out a set of the 3rd doctor and the gold dalek from day of the daleks. SETS WORTH BUYING!
