Doctor Who: The Face Of Evil DVD
Doctor Who: The Face Of Evil DVD
Released on 05 March 2012.
When the Tardis arrives on a jungle planet, the Doctor encounters two warring tribes, the Sevateem and the Tesh.
The Sevateem worship a god called Xoanon and the Tesh are supposedly keeping Xoanon prisoner…
But why do the Sevateem call the Doctor the Evil One?
And what are the invisible creatures in the jungle?
The Time Lord, with the help of a girl called Leela, is about to find out.

Original VHS Cover and details..
The TARDIS lands on a planet the Doctor doesn’t recognise – but its inhabitants seem to know him. They think he’s The Evil One and aren’t pleased to see him.
Two warring tribes occupy the planet: the savage Sevateem and the reclusive Tesh, separated from each other by a deadly energy field. When the Sevateem believe their Cod, Xoanon, to be a captive of the Tesh, they decide to break through the barrier and rescue him. The Tesh, however, have other ideas.
Befriended by Leela, a Sevateem girl who dares to question the mighty Xoanon, the Doctor sets out to discover exactly what’s happening on this planet. Has he been here before? Is he responsible for the tribal wars? And can it possibly be that Xoanon, the mad God, is really the Doctor?
Introducing Louise Jameson as the fearless warrior Leela, this thought-provoking story was originally broadcast 1 — 22 January 1977. Includes special bonus interview – Louise Jameson on Swap Shop, originally broadcast 12 February 1977.

March 10th, 2012 - 4:32pmIm in ASDA right now and the cost of Face of Evil is massive! 13.97!
The 507th Doctor (Headless Monk Fan)
March 10th, 2012 - 4:46pm£13.97?! That’s really expensive for a DVD! What’s the regular price?
booboo
March 10th, 2012 - 5:07pmthat’s not far of the going rate £12.99 is about normal
Bow tie of Doom (Causing Doom since 2010)
March 10th, 2012 - 5:18pmI got it from ASDA on Monday. I was shocked a little at the price, but compared to my local HMV, which had it for about £16.99, it was a bargain really. Same goes for The Sensorites which I got on Thursday. 🙂

March 11th, 2012 - 2:12am£14 quid for a brand new dvd of a very popular show is not really that expensive. Im happy to pay that. I remember when dvds were over 20 quid for 1 disc with no extras. Remember the cost of remastering sound audio and the extras for dvd isnt cheap. They have to make their money back somehow.
Anonymous
April 16th, 2012 - 5:04pm13.97 is very cheap compared to some places that are selling it for 19.99 😀
McGann is the Doctor

December 29th, 2011 - 10:13amGoing by the rate of releases (5 brand new stories which is 3 single releases and a box set)in the first quarter 2012 (january to march) we could potentially have the monthly releases finished by round about march 2013.
As an example
2nd quarter
nightmare in eden
ace tales
krotons
death to the Daleks
3rd quarterish (july to october)
planet of giants
greatest show
Shada/legacy
reign of terror
2013 1st quarter
ambassadors
mind of evil
Zygons
lost in time 2 set (planet menace galaxy 4 warriors)
gordon
December 29th, 2011 - 10:26am(galaxy 4 and underwater menace are apparently rumoured for a lost in time 2 box set according to the people involved in finding those episodes and the only other partialy lost stories are 10th planet and ice warriors)
I didnt include any future animated or future revisitations as they wont happen til after the regular monthly releases finish and the rev releases are extra releases anyway. The list isnt fact. Its more to show potentially how close the monthly releases are from finishing.
gordon
December 21st, 2011 - 3:23pmLooking like the next fourth doctor release will be nightmare in eden. The bbfc has passed the trailer for it so it could possibly be the next release after daemons in mid april going by the current rate of releases.

December 14th, 2011 - 10:59pmThis episode has one of the greatest cliffhangers of all classic Dr Who in my opinion – the cover sort of gives it away if anybody doesn’t know
