This release from the popular British science-fiction series Doctor Who includes all episodes from the show's eighth season, following the titular, Eleventh Doctor (played by Peter Capaldi) as he and his companion use the infamous Tardis to travel through time and space, often stopping aliens, evil, and general chaos from destroying the Earth.
This 1967 story was missing from the BBC archives for over twenty years until four of the six episodes were found in 1988. With episodes 2 & 3 recreated using animation matched to the original soundtrack, this story can now be enjoyed in its entirety for the first time in over 40 years!
An awesome story with both Superman and Supergirl facing off against Brainiac, an alien intent on making Metropolis part of his museum collection. Great fun!!
Shada was never finished because of a labor strike at the BBC. Here is all of the story that was recorded prior to the work stoppage, with Tom Baker (the 4th Doctor) providing narration to cover the missing sections. In 1993, the BBC presented a special documentary "More Than Thirty Years In The Tardis," chronicling the entire history of Doctor Who up to that time.
This Doctor Who adventure from 1964 stars William Hartnell as the Doctor, who lands with his companions inside an Aztec tomb in 15th century Mexico, where the native Aztecs mistake the timelord for the reincarnation of an ancient priest.
During Doctor Who's early years, several stories were produced that were purely historical, with no sci-fi elements. This is the earliest surviving example. A bonus is the inclusion of the third episode of Galaxy 4, a four-part story that was missing from the BBC archives in its entirety until part three was returned to the BBC by a private collector in 2011.
Because the BBC junked many Doctor Who recordings in the 1970s, this story, originally on color videotape, was only known from a surviving set of black&white film prints. Using a new color recovery process, this story can now be seen in full color for the first time in over 40 years!
The final story of Jon Pertwee's first year as the Doctor, this seven-part story doesn't have a dull moment in it. As the story takes place in "our" universe as well as a parallel Earth, there is the added treat of seeing two versions of many of the major characters.
