Doctor Who "Terror Of The Zygons" Fourth Doctor Time Capsule
Final Tom Baker tale to hit DVD included in special limited edition box set
BBC Worldwide has revealed what that cryptic Fourth Doctor teaser trailer was all about – a special, limited edition release of the Tom Baker Doctor Wh o story “Terror Of The Zygons” (aka, the one with the Loch Ness Monster) which contains exclusive content and memorabilia from Tom Baker’s era. This includes a newly-commissioned interview with the man himself.
Alongside the interview, the set contains an advance vanilla version of the restored “Terror Of The Zygons”, set to get a more complete DVD release later this year. Telling the tale of shape-shifting aliens attempting to colonise the Earth, this four-parter introduces the monsters who are set to return in the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special.
With a limited run of 5,000 units, The Fourth Doctor Time Capsule also includes:
• An exclusive post-regenerative Fourth Doctor action figure, wearing Jon Pertwee’s trademark frill-fronted shirt
• A Fourth Doctor sonic screwdriver
• An audio version of classic Tom Baker story “Genesis Of The Daleks”
• The novel “Tomb Of Valdemar” by Simon Messingham, set during the Fourth Doctor’s search for the Key to Time.
