In the peaceful village of Devil’s End something very strange is happening. A professor is preparing to open a nearby burial mound and a local white witch has foreseen death and disaster. Meanwhile, the new vicar looks suspiciously like the Master and he is using black magic to conjure up an ancient Dæmon. Can the Doctor, Jo and UNIT stop their old enemy before he succeeds?

Note:  Numbered limited edition of 1,000 featuring “exclusive 2012 official convention artwork” — this is in fact a custom slipcase which fits over the DVD box (the box and discs themselves are identical to the original UK release). Produced for the Official Doctor Who Convention which took place in the Millennium Centre, Cardiff on March 24th & 25th — however, this edition was also available to purchase from Forbidden Planet for those not at the convention.

Cover blurb:
