Stop Giving Me Evils

Yikes! We've had a few DVD updates recently, haven't we? 2 Entertain really are spoiling us. The latest title to be announced is the early Tom Baker / Elisabeth Sladen adventure "The Planet of Evil" - the second adventure of the show's thirteenth season.

The story sees the Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith arrive on an alien planet, where evil spirits lerk - striking terror into the heart of a space crew who have crash landed there. It was a sort of early prototype for last year's "Satan Pit" adventure. A sequel was released, in book form, as "Zeta Major". It featured Peter Davison's Fifth Doctor.

The BBFC have released details of the special features:

00:10:40:00 HIDDEN HINCHCLIFFE
00:13:30:05 PLANETARY PERFORMANCE - ACTING IN DOCTOR WHO
00:05:37:16 PLANET OF EVIL - PHOTO GALLERY
00:01:25:18 PLANET OF EVIL - DESIGN COLLECTION
00:00:47:19 (STUDIO SCENE)
00:01:49:06 (CONTINUITIES)
00:01:01:18 DOCTOR WHO - COMING SOON TO DVD...
00:25:48:06 A DARKER SIDE

Because 2 Entertain haven't officially announced the title yet, no release date is available - but it's thought that the DVD could be out in either October or November. So just in time to tie in with "The Sarah Jane Adventures" then!

Another Sarah Jane adventure to add to the collection then...

Sweet! Another vhs tape I can switch to dvd-(my shelf space grows!!! ) Just as soon as they release it in Region 1. ;)

You know though-they've been really good about releasing classic Who in Region 1 after Region 2-Robot is already out in the UK-we'll be getting it in August. I hope the Time Warrior and Planet of Evil (when it is released) will follow the same pattern!!! :)
