Doctor Who: SHADA with More Than 30 Years In The TARDIS (DVD)
The Doctor, Romana and K-9 receive a message from an old friend — a retired Time Lord living as a college professor in Cambridge. He's misplaced an ancient Gallifreyan artifact that could unlock the dark secrets of Shada — lost prison planet of the Time Lords — and unless they find it before the crazed scientist Skagra, every sentient being in the universe is doomed.
This special DVD release features the legendary unfinished Fourth Doctor story, newly restored from original film negatives and studio recordings, with 1992 linking material from Tom Baker, and the 1993 Anniversary Special More Than 30 Years In The TARDIS.
