DVD release (with cover blurb)

Each issue came with a DVD release.
Reversible DVD sleeves enabled the collector to display one of two designs featuring either the Doctor and his enemies or his companions.
"Listen to that! It's the sound of a planet screaming out its rage!"
Professor Stahlman's drilling project is going to crack open the Earth's crust and release a gas that will provide the planet with a new source of power. At least that's the plan. When the drill unearths a mysterious green slime that transforms them around it into snarling primitive monsters, it's clear something has gone wrong — but Stahlman keeps on drilling! As people start to die and UNIT loses control, all eyes turn to the Doctor. But the Time Lord is trapped in a parallel universe where freedom is an illusion and the end of the world is just around the corner...

Notable information

  • The parallel world plot in Inferno was added to fill the story out.
  • The Doctor has a normal pulse of one hundred seventy per minute (Inferno).
  • In an alternative world, the legendary King Arthur ruled a technologically advanced England in the eighth century. (Battlefield)
  • Other names for Morgaine included the Sunkiller, Dominator of the Thirteen Worlds and Battle Queen of the S'rax.
  • In the novelisation of Battlefield, Merlin is a future Doctor with curly red hair and an Afghan coat.
  • In The Robots of Death, fear of robots is called Grimwade Syndrome and is named after the programme's production manager.
  • Production documents give Zoe's age as fifteen. She first appeared in the second episode of The Wheel in Space.
  • The sound of a Yeti roar is that of a toilet being flushed played backwards.
  • Although the Editor could understand the Jagrafess, the TARDIS was unable to translate the noises (or those of the Judoon).
