Note: Rush-release of the Patrick Troughton classic after its 2013 rediscovery in Nigeria (along with The Web of Fear which was released in early 2014). In 2015, an audio commentary CD was released, to make up for the fact that this DVD release does not contain a commentary.

Recovered and restored — a classic Patrick Troughton adventure!
