Cover blurb:
On November 23, 1963, the BBC launched the world’s longest running science fiction television series when it aired the premiere episode of Doctor Who. To celebrate the Doctor’s 40th Anniversary, BBC Video presents the largest Doctor Who video collection ever assembled.
On home video for the first time, these eleven adventures span 16 of Doctor Who’s 26 seasons.
With four Doctors, 19 companions, 56 episodes and 46 cliffhangers, fans will agree that this cosmic collection is "bigger on the inside."
