BBC Shop Enemy of The World DVD / T-Shirt Exclusive
The Enemy of The World BBC Shop Slipcase DVD
The TARDIS arrives in a futuristic Australia, where the genius Salamander has found a way to end starvation by harnessing the sun’s energy and preventing natural disasters on a global scale.
But there are those who believe Salamander’s office is moving towards dictatorship. One such person is Giles Kent, and he is immediately struck by the Doctor’s remarkable likeness to the great man.
The Doctor and his companions infiltrate Salamander’s top secret research station and uncover a web of lies on a massive scale.
Unless the wholesale deception can be revealed, global war looks set to break out…

The Enemy of The World BBC Shop DVD / TShirt Exclusive
Unseen in the UK for 45 years – marvellously restored and remastered and brought back to life for you to own on DVD.
Available to order exclusively from www.bbcshop.com
Enemy of the World is the fourth tale of Series 5 which first aired on the BBC in December 1967. It stars the second actor to play the Time Lord, Patrick Troughton, who is both the Doctor and his antagonist Ramon Salamander, alongside Frazer Hines (Jamie) and Deborah Watling (Victoria).
On Earth in the near future, the Doctor and his companions are enmeshed in a deadly web of intrigue thanks to his uncanny resemblance to would-be 21st century dictator Salamander. He is hailed as the ‘Shopkeeper of the World’ for his efforts to relieve global famine, but why do his rivals keep disappearing? How can he predict so many natural disasters? The Doctor must expose Salamander’s schemes before he takes over the World.
To celebrate the discovery and release of Doctor Who: Enemy of the World, BBC Shop and Dark Bunny Tees have been lovingly working together to bring you a strictly Limited, Exclusively designed T-shirt.
Whisked away to Africa**, location of the discovered tapes designer Alex Chenery has been busying himself on the ultimate design and tribute to the six-part tale unseen on these shores for 45 years. With finishing touches being placed on the designs right now, (we’ve waited this long, we didn’t want to rush!) keep your eyes peeled! All designs will be screen-printed on a Ring-Spun, Soft Style, Euro cut t-shirt.

Anonymous
November 20th, 2013 - 4:45pm“have you got yours yet I had an e mail from the bbc shop Monday saying it had been sent nothing has come yet?
Some bloke
November 20th, 2013 - 10:39pmmine was dispatched on friday and I haven’t got it yet… fingers crossed for tomorrow! 😀
Radburn
November 22nd, 2013 - 10:13pmMine hasn’t turned up either – I bet BBC Shop sent out a wrongly dated email & we will get it next week when it was supposedly due out?
Some bloke
November 23rd, 2013 - 9:42amgot my fingers crossed for this morning 😀
Thomass
November 23rd, 2013 - 10:11amWas hoping for this morning but did not arrive today
Some bloke
November 23rd, 2013 - 10:55amMINE ARRIVED!
Some bloke
November 23rd, 2013 - 10:56amthe covers are reversible so they have the grey banner at the top of the front cover
Radburn
November 23rd, 2013 - 1:11pmMine did as well, over a week after it was posted – Suppose it’s the Christmas mail holding it up? Pity though that it is a vanilla release, with no Special Features…
Morgan
October 26th, 2013 - 7:19amWho want’s to watch The Enemy of The World for free?
booboo
October 26th, 2013 - 8:00amThanks for the link, I have passed that on to the relevant authorities
Morgan

skaroman
October 23rd, 2013 - 3:07pmHope we can have a cover for the moonbase and the underwater menace soon…
Daveroper00
October 15th, 2013 - 5:47pmIs Salemander played by Patick Troughton? I’ve never seen the so, and I haven’t been told anything
videogamemad00
October 15th, 2013 - 5:53pmYes, he plays 2 roles in this.
Trenzalore
October 15th, 2013 - 5:57pmThat must have been fun for Pat to do
videogamemad00
October 15th, 2013 - 6:04pmAlso a different experince, being able to be the villain instead of the hero all the time.
bob
October 12th, 2013 - 10:03pmwow carn’t wait to get it
Nicholas
October 12th, 2013 - 12:10pmJust ordered this, without the T-Shirt though.
Cyber lords
October 11th, 2013 - 10:54pmFor all you people who want Marco Polo they probably won’t announce it yet they haven’t had enough time to fix of they had it even if they have it. Anyway they will probably be doing the blu ray classic DVDs soon
Lachie
October 12th, 2013 - 12:39amblu-ray not possible… all you could hope for there is “The TV Movie” And for Marco Polo if* it has been recovered.. it hasn’t been restored so expect a looong wait like perhaps a year and a half or so.
Ollie
October 11th, 2013 - 9:21pmThere’s gonna be special features on both DVD releases right? Surely BBC Worldwide don’t expect us to pay £9.99 on iTunes and then pay similar money for ‘vanilla’ releases? Who knows, with Web pushed back till February, does that give the Beeb enough time to create an animated episode 3?
videogamemad00
October 11th, 2013 - 5:53pmSo is there any difference in the content than the regular edition. If not, I will get the normal one.
Anonymous
October 12th, 2013 - 9:37pmno just a slipcase and an optional T-Shirt though I would get the Limited Edition without the T-Shirt then later on try and find the T-Shirt separate on eBay. hope that helped
videogamemad00
October 12th, 2013 - 11:43pmThanks but I will just get the regular one. I hate slipcases and I can’t wear T-shirts so not much point really.
I Ended the Time War
October 17th, 2013 - 6:31pmWhy can’t you wear t-shirts?
Dalek Smith
October 11th, 2013 - 4:23pmvery happy with these being recovered really love the yetis and i really hope we get a yeti figure one day. I’ve been tired all through the day but i don’t really care! 🙂
TC200
October 11th, 2013 - 4:27pmisnt there gona be one cause i read about one on this site
Anonymous
October 11th, 2013 - 3:49pmI would like it if the reverse cover was a normal looking classic doctor who DVD reply if you agree
booboo
October 11th, 2013 - 3:52pmi think it will be, i think they are well away people like consistency when collecting (as do i)
I didn’t like it when they changed the VHS covers
Anonymous
October 11th, 2013 - 3:55pmI didn’t like the video change nither I’m soo exited I presume the same goes for web of fear DVD aswell
DoctorWho2013
October 14th, 2013 - 9:02amWhist I agree about the video change being not the best decision back in the day, I’ve NEVER liked the DVD cover design. Bleak, dreary and uninspiring. The episode artwork made them tolerable, but if the Web of Fear and Enemy are the new template for a whole new era of in-house classic DVD re-releases, then I’ll be a happy man! Just wish they’d ditch the old spine etc.
Anonymous
October 11th, 2013 - 3:26pmAm I the only one who wants the covers to look like all the others so they Mach ? I mean I understand the spine and all but the spine has the new BBC logo will they stil have reverse covers ?
booboo
October 11th, 2013 - 3:35pmthey will be reversible we have been told
Anonymous
October 11th, 2013 - 3:47pmThanks booboo also is this the definate cover?
booboo
October 11th, 2013 - 3:50pmas far as i know it is
Some bloke
October 11th, 2013 - 4:06pmand no you are not the only one who wants them to match. I reckon around 80-90% of fans would want them to match 🙂
Lachie
October 12th, 2013 - 12:42amme to though you have to say the design is brilliant and shows much more of the artwork and with an artistic title for each story then a plain one. I wish they had used this for the first DVD’s and i hope Tea Lady Design does all Doctor Who artwork haha
Peter
October 11th, 2013 - 2:13pmWhy is Enemy of the World the only one to get a limited edition? Is it because its fully complete compared to Web of Fear?
booboo
October 11th, 2013 - 2:15pmthey could still do one, they have before.
Trenzalore
October 11th, 2013 - 12:43pmOn BBC shop this (without the T-shirt) is the same price as a normal copy of the DVD definitely getting.
Trenzalore
October 11th, 2013 - 12:12pmMight get this, don’t really understand the artwork for all the both episodes because the ones I have seen don’t have the doctor who bit at the top. Also since they have made artwork and re-mastered it all, doesn’t that mean they’ve known about it for a while?
booboo
October 11th, 2013 - 12:15pmthey must have
Trenzalore
October 11th, 2013 - 12:44pmThose little….. daleks

King Peladon

booboo

THE ergon
October 11th, 2013 - 9:39amI like enemy of the world,even if itdoes mixthe tense with the frankly ludicrous(overenthusiastic security guards breaking crockery),but those scenes with salamander and the ‘survivors’ and the final confrontation in the tardis are great moments.
the astronaut of death
October 11th, 2013 - 7:50amthey should be putting the 50th in a slipcase aswell
Some bloke
October 11th, 2013 - 7:48amI pre-ordered this the second it went up!!!!!
the astronaut of death

Lachie
October 11th, 2013 - 6:41aml’m actually more excited for this then “The Web of Fear” ^_^ although l’ll be amazed by seeing the very firsts of the Brigadier which will be amazing the double-performance by Patrick Troughton is Brilliant! and the ending with the Doctor and Salamander is unforgettable.
